CHAPTER 31: No Brainer

*a day later*
31st March 2023

i sighed rolling around in bed, i couldn't sleep. i had been tossing and turning all night, this is my fifth night of tossing and turning.
all since he returned.

i tap my phone and check the time.. 9am.

better get up, to do nothing.
i sighed again.

i'm tired.

just so tired.

i grab a change of clothes, grabbing my phone and heading straight for the shower.

i put my music on shuffle and first thing that comes on is one direction.
how ironic.
i swallow a lump in my throat as harry began to sing his solo in Ready To Run.. one of my favourite one direction songs.
one i always sang around zayn.

i stand in the shower letting the hot water hit me while all the memories i have of this song float through my mind, memories from when i was a child, all the way up to last year when i sang it around zayn.
when he'd join in with me, with his soothing voice.

i shook my head as niall began singing straight after the chorus

"there will always be the kind that criticisseeee" i sang along with louis, then began singing the chorus with harry again

i wet my hair as i sing

"this time i'm ready to rrrrrruuuuuuuuunnnnnn-oh-oohh-oohhh" i hit zayn's riff
"i'll give everything that i hot for you looooooo-oohhh-ooo-ooveeeee" i hit the run he only ever did live and smile at myself

oh yeah i've got it.

i continue listening to the end of the song and wash my hair.

then next song to come on was a britney spears song, i'm a slave 4 u.
one of my favourite bad bit energy song.

i finished washing my hand and then did a full body shave.

i rinsed myself off and turned my shower off, wrapping a towel around my body.

my phone rang and it was a no caller ID.

i frowned and answered it.

"hello??" i answered softly, clutching the towels around my body walking out of my shower
"anastasia, hey, it's abel... the weeknd??" he questioned asking as if i knew him and i smiled

"abel.. hi!" i smiled happily

"i was just ringing you personally to tell you i love the song, and i am in the process now sorting my solo out." he said and i was almost freaking out.. jumping up and down in my towel.

"really?? oh my god abel, thank you."

"thank you for wanting me on the track.. means a lot." he said and i smiled

"it was a no brainer i wanted you on this track.. your voice is different to what we have." i said honestly and he chuckled "thank you.. i'm a fan of yours too, so young and you're killing it, can't wait to get this out to the people!"

"so am i! it's different to what i've done before" i said with a smile

"it is.. always good to experiment." he said and i smiled "anyway, i just wanted to let you know. i'll send you everything you need from me in the next few days" he said making me smile

"thanks abel.." i said softly

"see you anastasia"

"byeee" i called softly and ended the phone

i started happily dancing in my room

oh yesss!!!!

just waiting on madonna to get in touch now.
