Barely Breathing

chapter 31

I sat on the chair in the studio deep thought, plotting my plan of attack. I saw someone waving their hands across my face quickly making come back to reality.

“Taylor, they want you to come on the air with me” Reece said looking at me a bit weirdly, eh not that invested.

This was perfect! My plan would fall right into place now. I got up and sat in front of a microphone and got all of the gear set up and we pretty much were straight on the air. They told me about what I was and wasn’t allowed to say or do and then we went on air.

“Annnd that was ‘Shout It Out’ by Reece Mastin! We actually have him in the studio, so how it going Reece?” Matty asked looking at Reece. I found it kind of funny that they did the whole ‘how are you’ thing when they had already done that but I guess they had to do that for the listeners.

“I’m good thanks Matty how are you bro?” Reece asked. He made me laugh the way he tried to act cool…. Silly boy.

“That’s good and we have a special guest in today, I know you guys have been asking us to get Reece on to talk about someone special and here she is. We have Reece’s Mrs in the studio with us. How are ya Taylor?” Matty asked flashing me a smile.

“I’m great thanks and how are you?” I said trying to act sweet.

“That’s good hun. We will have a bit of fun with you two after the next song” Mel said winking at us…This would give me the perfect opportunity to execute my master plan.

“So we are just going to ask you guys some questions and then we will get some fans on the phone to ask you a few too, is that cool?” Mel asked.

“Yeah! No problemoooos!” Reece said. I sat there nodding my head. They were talking about stuff… I don’t know what about because I zoned out thinking what exactly I was going to do. I was awoken from my daydream by Reece kissing my cheek.

“Are you ok babe? You have been really quiet” Shit! I have to act normal. I realized we were on an ad break because I could hear the ad for condoms through the speakers…how appropriate.

“Yeah all good just daydreaming” I said with a hint of a smirk…. This is going to be epic.

“Alright guys, we’re back in 10, 9, 8…” Matty said. We put our headphones back on and sat back in front of our microphones.

“Okay we are back with Reece Mastin and his girlfriend Taylor Benito. So we have a few questions and I am sure the fans are dying to know, how did you guys meet?”  Mel asked sounding quite eager for some gossip.

I laughed but Reece took the reigns on this one. “Well it is actually a really funny story actually. So, on the day Taylor moved here from Perth I bumped into her, like literally ran into her and she spilt her groceries everywhere…It was kind of funny but yeah she hated me, then I saw her a few times out and about” he paused and looked at me I smiled and blushed and then he went on, “yeah and I had a gig one night and it turns out that she is actually the cousin of my guitarist Marcus and he actually tried to set us up. It took us a while to make it official and everything though” he said. I had a quick flash back to our fuckbuddy times… how did we think that was going to work out?

“That is a killer story, what were the chances of your guitarist being the cousin of the girl you ran into on a street? Ok next one and this one is for Taylor. This is a question all of the lil rockers are dying to know! Is…Reece Mastin…a good kisser?” she said with a smirk on her face…This was it! I had to do it now or I wouldn’t get another chance.

“Holy crap I am so over this shit! Seriously, I cannot deal! I am done” I said getting up and walking over to the door “I’m just done!” and with that I left. I walked to the bathroom with a little smirk, wondering how it would work out. I hoped it wasn’t too far and that they would all find it funny. I could hear Reece calling my name down the hall, running to catch up but I just kept walking. I was almost running till I got to the bathroom and I wondered what he would do I mean it was a girls toilet but I had a feeling that if he thought he was really loosing me he would come in here without hesitation. I sat there for about 30 seconds before I heard him storm up to the door and bang on it.
