The new girl nextdoor

chapter 22

Taras POV

I woke up to the sound of "the imperial march" from star wars, my eyes snapped open when I realised it was my phone ringing I jumped out of bed and frantically looked through my bags from the phone. I finally found it "thank god" I told myself then answered the phone "hello?" "Is this miss McKenzie?" A males voice asked "speaking" I answered with a raised eyebrow "sorry to distribute you after you're long weekend but this is Roger Graig from the music department""Roger, hi! Sorry I didn't recognise you're voice over the phone. What can I do for you?" I asked "I know you're not long back,but the group you wanted for the games soundtrack is arriving in an hour and I was calling to let you know and if you would like to come in and well do you're job?" He asked "umm sure...give me like twenty minutes" I replied with a slight sigh "okay good, see you soon. Bye" and with that I hung up.

I let out a sigh as I found a suitable outfit to wear for work, I brushed my hair and put it back into a messy bun. I grabbed my phone and keys as I walked out the door, when I got out into the hallway I heard jack and Mark laughing "I best say goodbye to them I guess" I told myself as I opened the door to Mark's apartment. I heard the laughter coming from Mark's office as I got the the door way of the office I saw both men on a computer chair each playing some game "hey guys" I spoke up clearing my thoart but men turned around and looked at me "where are you off to love?" Mark asked "I've got to go into work" I said glancing at the time "but you just got back"jack said "I know but it's really important, the group that's doing the games sound track are coming in and I need to be their to do my job" I explained as mark got up and hugged me "do you know how long you'll be?" Mark asked giving me the puppy dog eyes "no idea sorry. But I'll bring back something for tea" I said as mark pressed a kiss to my temple "well don't work to hard" jack told me "I'll see you guys later" I said and kissed mark before walking down to my car and driving to the studio.

Once I got to the studio and reached the music department Roger was waiting for me at the door "sorry I'm late" I said apologizing "no you're just in time. Come right this way" rogers said and then lead me to the recording booths and standing their waiting was a tall man with blonde hair and bright blue eyes, he seemed so famliar but I couldn't place him "Tara I would like to introduce you to Peter Hollens, he'll be one of the artist working with us" PETER HOLLENS???!! OMG!!! I quickly came back to relatily I stretched my arm out "it's such a pleasure to meet you sir, I'm Tara McKenzie and I look toward to working with you" I said shaking his hand Peter chuckled "the pleasure is all mine. Thank you for this opportunity and please just call me Peter" I smiled at him for his kindness "shall we start then?" Roger asked "yes that would be perfect" peter said.

About an hour later roger got a phone call "I should take this" he said then walked off to answer the call, I sat infront the of the control board and peter was in the booth in front of me. I pushed the button that allows me to speak over the microphone so peter can hear me "take a break peter, you're doing a great job" and with that peter came out a the booth and sat down on one of the sofas behind me. Roger came back in with his phone in hand he had a look of dreed on his face "what's wrong?" I asked him "my wifes in labour" he said my eyes wided "you need to go to her now!" I commanded "but what about this?" He asked "I've got it covered. Go you're wife needs you" and with that he ran out the door, I let out a sigh and leaned back into my chair "are you alright miss?" Peter asked from behind me I turned around and looked at him " yes I'm fine, go off and have a drink if you like and then we'll continue when you're ready" I told him " I won't be long" he said than walked out of the room.

As I waited for peter to return I got bored so I started singing "friends never say goodbye" by Elton John. "I didn't know you were a singer" a voice from behind me said I quickly turned around embrassed "I'm not a singer I just sing when I'm bored" " well you're very good at it, we should sign together sometime" Peter told me smiling at me "I would just make a fool of myself like I have done now" I said looking at the floor "you have a great voice" peter said "come with me" he said leading me into the booth "put these on" he said passing me a pair of headphones "do you know David guetta's song titanium?" He asked I nodded my head "okay let's try that" then he started making the beta to titanium and I sung along. "We sound great together!" Peter said excitedly "you're too kind, you're the one that makes it sound good" I said embrassed before peter could protest I spoke up "anyway I'm the producer its not my place" peter stood in thought for a while "I'll give you my number so we can do a duet together now my channel" peter said writing down his number for me and then handing it to me "I would really like that" he said smiling.

We spent three more hours recording Peter's song's in the sound track before we both headed home, I stopped at the olive garden on the way home to grab some food for jack and mark. When I arrived back at the apartment building it was 10pm I let out a sigh as I reached my floor, I walked into Mark's apartment and saw jack seated on the sofa "hi jack" I said placing the food on the kitchen table "how was work?" Jack asked I just sighed in replie "oh one of those days" jack said "where's mark?" I asked jack "he's in the shower" jack answered "well here's the food. I'll be in my apartment" and with that I left.
