Behind The Lens

TEN

   I usually am a morning person, waking up at 6 am just to go for a run, but after the conversation and arguments I had yesterday, I would've have slept until tomorrow morning. I actually would rather not wake up at all at this point. But unfortunately, my phone rang. My eyes were almost shutting themselves down, so I barely even answered my phone properly.

Hello?

Hey, Jazmin! How are you? You sound quite sleepy.

Oh, hey Joost. I'm good, how about you?

I'm great, thanks. I just wanted to call and thank you for the amazing work you did at my concert last week. The photos and recordings you edited were incredible.

Yeah, thank you so much, Joost! I'm glad you liked them.

Liked them? I loved them! Your art and editing skills are seriously impressive. I couldn't be happier with the final product.

That means a lot coming from you. I'm a big fan of your music since I discovered you.

Well, I'm a big fan of your work since forever. Which is why I wanted to propose something to you. I'm currently working on a new music video for my song "Florida 2009" and I would love for you to be a part of it.

Wow, that's a huge honor, Joost. I'm really flattered.

I think your creative vision would bring a unique vision to the video. I trust your instincts and I believe we could create something truly special together.

Well, I have experience with short films and stuff like that but I've never worked on a music video before.

Don't worry, Jazmin. I have full confidence in your abilities. Your talent speaks for itself. I know you'll do an amazing job.

That's such a sweet thing coming from you, Joost. I would be happy to work on the music video with you.

That's great to hear, Jazmin. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Great...

So, how about we meet up this week to discuss the details and come up with some ideas for the video?

Sounds good to me. Just let me know when and where.

Perfect. I'll send you a message with the details soon. Thanks again, Jazmin. I really appreciate you.

No problem at all, Joost. Thank you for reaching out to me. I'm always glad to be a part of your team.

Likewise, Jazmin. Take care and talk to you soon.

Bye, Joost.

Bye-bye!

 Only after starring at the ceiling for what felt like forever I slowly started understanding what this call meant. And who actually called. But those 3 hours of partial sleep really busted my feelings. All I could feel was exhaustment. But at least now I got something to fulfill my free time. A music video. Who knows, it might not be too bad. And I also got myself an answer. He wasn't mad and probably didn't even figure out I lied.
