Crystal-Violet
  "So, Crystal-Violet, tell me about yourself." Martin asks. Tell him about myself? What is this? A first date? "Well, you already know my name. I understand that my first name is kind of long, so most people just shorten it to Crystal, so if you want to do that as well, that's fine. I'm 18 years old. My birthday is June 2. I'm an only child and I've just moved out of my parents' house a couple months ago. I have a best friend, and his name is Dustin and he's also my neighbor. Umm I like spending time with my other friends as well, whenever I get to see them...I'm sorry, I must be boring you."

  "No not at all. But I do have to ask you to stop there. I could listen to you all day but, unfortunately, we just don't have the time." Martin pauses, and then he asks, "Would you like something to drink?"
"Yes, some water please?"
"Sure, I'll call Caroline to bring you a bottle."
"Who's Caroline?"
"The woman at the front desk. She didn't tell you her name?"
"No, why?"
"Oh, it's just that she tells everyone what her name is. I don't know why this time is different."
"Yeah, she started off like 'Welcome to Stmpd Rcrds, how may I help you?'"
"She usually starts off like 'Welcome to Stmpd Rcrds, my name is Caroline, how may I help you?' I don't know, I won't worry about it."
  I just nodded as he dials the last few numbers and brings the receiver to his ear.

  I looked around at his studio while he was on the phone. It's so beautiful, with the different colored lights, kind of calms my nerves with talking to him. He seems really dedicated to his work, I'm not surprised. No wonder he releases banging tracks. I return from my thoughts as the sound of him putting the phone back on the desk brings me back. "Well Crystal, we have to get down to the 'important information' part like how the letter said." He tells me, adding air quotations around the words important information. I smiled politely and said, "Okay, I'm listening." He sighs, then starts.
"I am very passionate and dedicated to my work, as you can tell." I nodded.

"My job comes first, and anyone who works for me, or works with me must stay professional. Now, you may see me teasing or flirting with Caroline because she knows the rules, yet she still flirts with me, so I do it just to get a rise out of her. But otherwise, all of us come to work being strictly professional, understood?" I nodded as I said "Yes, Martin. Only come to work to be professional and professional only." Even though that serious tone he used completely lighted a spark in me that a never knew I had. It turned me on. "Okay, you're already heading in the wrong direction, stop." I tell myself. Don't need to be breaking the rules when you haven't even started yet.
"Good, I'm glad you understand." He says now. "Why wouldn't I?"

  He was about to reply to me when there was a knock at the door. It must be Caroline with my water. "Excuse me." He says while getting up from the spinny chair. He opens the door, and my assumption was correct, it was Caroline. He tells her thanks. After that, she asks if he wanted anything else, batting her eyes and playing with the ends of her hair. She then looked and stared at me for about three seconds with a look in her eyes that I couldn't quite read. "No thanks." He says as he closes the door, turns around, rolls his eyes, and walks toward me, and gives me the water. I make a sound of amusement. "Wow, she's really something else." I say. "Yeah, I know." He said, "Kind of gets tedious."

  He looks down at me while I look up at him. His eyes are so beautiful, a light shade of green. He smiles as we just stare at each other. I could get lost in those eyes if I wanted to, God. We both seem to snap out of it as we looked away hastily, shaking out heads. "Sorry." He apologizes. "No, no it's fine." I checked the time, 1:35 p.m. Wow, time went by fast. "So are we done?" I ask. "Yep, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay."

  He walks with me to the door, opening it as a step outside. Before I leave, I turn to him and say to him "Have a good day, Martin. Good luck on the track."
"Thank you Crystal, you enjoy your day as well." He smiles at me, and I return it. I sigh, not really wanting to leave, and made my way to the elevator, hearing him close his door behind me. Wow, is all I can say, leaving me breathless.
