Hang Onto Yourself

Hang Onto Yourself Part 5

The next day, Anna and Nova made their way in the lobby of David's apartment and asked for the concierge to let the top floor know they had arrived.

Nova picked up where she left off yesterday looking at the architecture of the lobby.

Anna whispered to Nova "So do you think Coco and David are, you know" she hinted, winking at Nova "Dunno mate. Guess we'll find out at some stage, but its none of our business either way" Nova replied rolling her eyes slightly.

Anna loved celebrity gossip, she always liked chatting about the latest with Nova. Nova, being a celebrity that was a victim of gossip regularly found it an annoying quality of Anna and would always change the subject or shut her down with a sharp comment.

"Be good if he was single." Anna thought aloud, Nova turned to her with a look of disgust "WHY?" she raised her voice. "Well you know, he's a nice looking guy. Even though he's old enough to be my dad" Anna pointed out.

Nova shook her head in disbelief, but at the same time believing she would come out with something like that.

"What?" Anna said defensively, "Don't you think he's at least a little dishy? You still like men don't you? Or have you gone the other way completely now?" Nova hushed Anna "Shut up Anna!" she said disappointingly.

"He doesn't know who you are", looking at the concierge "Your secrets safe in New York". Nova elbowed Anna and glared at her angrily.

Her sexuality was never up for discussion. She had been with both men and women and was very lucky that the press hadn't found out, but sometimes that was at a price to the person she slept with.

After one girl Nova bed, she was threatened that she would go to the papers and tell all, Anna had to arrange for her to have a hefty pay out to keep her mouth shut.

There had been rumours, but she had never paid them no mind or rose to the bait. Nova's closest friends and family knew, it was never an issue really, but it wasn't something she wanted being made public. Not at the moment or foreseeable future anyway.

David and Coco stepped out of the lift and greeted Nova and Anna. Hugging and kissing hello quickly.

"Cars outside, lets go" David said going to open the building doors to let the ladies through.

The chauffeur, Glen, was waiting by the passenger door of the car and opened it when he saw David opening the doors for the girls. They pilled into the car, a black Range Rover with tinted windows. They all chatted amongst themselves on the way to the studio, talking about what they had got up to the night before, it didn't take long to get there, maybe 15-20 minutes.

The car pulled up at the front of the studio buildings main doors, and they all piled out of the car, straight inside. David wasn't in the mood to be recognised so moved quickly, even though he was feeling very chipper today.

Nova and Anna followed David and Coco through the building into the studio.

Nova's eyes widened as she looked around the studio through the mixing booth glass window into one of the biggest sound booths with all the instruments in. She then looked towards the mixing desk and all the equipment surrounding it.

She hadn't seen such a kitted out studio, it had everything, including things she had no idea what they did. Gibson Les Pauls, Fenders, Martin acoustics, Pearl drum kit, as upright Steinway and Son's piano, you name it.

This excited Nova, she grinned happily to herself.

David introduced Nova and Anna to Reeves and Mark, who were helping with the mixing of the album, they were also a part of his current band, "Nice to meet you guys" Nova extended her hand to shake theirs, they warmly welcomed Nova and Anna.
