Intractable

It was all like dream come true, working with Adele and another artist in a studio. We were talking about everything, mostly about our life experiences and put it on the lyric and then we were working with the melodies.

Adele's voice was incredible! And it made the song that she sung memorable to us, to those who listen to her voice. It was like we were in a journey with her through the music. I got goosebump when I heard her sing in front of me, I meant like all this time I only listened to her on my iPod or when she was on stage.

Let me tell you, it was totally different when you heard it right in front of your eyes, it was all clear and peace. It brought tears to my eyes and it made my heart melted.

I had been working with her and her staff  for like a month now and today would be my last day before she promoted her new album, 25. Today would be my last day before going back to the reality.

Talking about reality made me thinking about Ben. I hardly saw him now. We even hardly talked anymore. I would always come home late so we didn't have the chance to talk. I would always excuse myself if he tried to talk to me. I know it wasn't nice but I was just trying to protect myself. It was easier not to talk to him or see him again.

And then it hit me.

Why didn't I move out? Why didn't I get my own place now? Why didn't I leave him be with his girlfriend?

It wasn't like I would leave him forever and go on with my life, pretending that we didn't know each other, right?

Okay, that would be half-lie. I would leave him and pretend that I didn't know for like maybe a couple years? I didn't know. Maybe until I could wash away that stupid feeling for him that I still had until now.

Ugh, sucks being me.

"Lily, are you okay?" James, another technician in here said, brought me back to earth.

"Yeah,"

"Are you gonna come with us? We're going to Beer Hop tonight,"

"Yeah, sure. Today is my last day anyway, so..." I paused. "Yeah, count me in"

James smile and gave me a pat on my back before saying see you there and turned around, walking out of the studio.

I looked at my wristwatch and it was already 8 p.m.

Should I tell Ben?

I shook my head in disagreement. Stop thinking about Ben for one second, Lily! It didn't matter where would you go or what would you do. He wouldn't care about you anyway so stop thinking about him for heaven's sake!

I grabbed my phone and put it on my satchel before made myself out of the studio to the Beer Hop.

As soon as I arrived I spotted James along with other people from the studio gathered around in the bar. I quickly made myself to them and said hi.

"What do you want to order?" James asked, his hand was holding a delicious black pint from Guinness.

"A Budweiser would be nice," I smile.

He called the bartender and gave me a bottle of Budweiser.

"It's on me," James said and we tossed before sipping our drink.

We were talking and talking and mostly it was me listening to them. Adrian, one of the staff, always told us multiple jokes and I would always cracked up until my stomach and cheeks hurt. He was really funny and he did some impressions too.
