Aubrey decided one day to uproot her life and move to London. From there, her job brought her close to one of the most famous and richest men in the UK and probably the world.
She had no idea how much her job could change her life and sometimes...
I walked into a two man party which I almost instantly regretted. In the 4hours I had been gone they had managed to have their 'meeting' and get drunk. From what I could tell Jake was controlling the music choices which West wasn't too happy about.
"Hey! You're back. Finally." West shouts over the music.
"Heaven forbid you've had to live without your PA for a few hours. I had my first ever trip to IKEA. It was scary at first but I've picked out a perfect design for my bedroom. It's being fitted tomorrow." Jake sees me talking and turns the music down drastically so we can have a conversation.
"Yeah everyone in the UK loves IKEA. It's a full family day out sometimes. Would you like to come have a drink with us, I assume your probably way ahead with your work as you have been since you arrived." I laugh at this comment as I hadn't realised that he had noticed my constant need to be ahead.
"Yeah have a drink with us. We can all get to know each other abit more seeing as you're clearly going to be permanent compared to his previous PAs." Jake jumps in before I can answer West.
"Ok. Maybe one won't hurt." I go to the fridge and grab a bottle of beer before joining them on the big comfy sofas.
"So what kind of music are you into Aubrey. Do you like West's stuff?"
"I'm not going to lie, not into West's music, I prefer either classical music or old American rock. Like Blink-182 or All American Rejects." They both look at me with quizzical expressions.
"Wait a minute West. Did your PA just answer honestly instead of being stuck in your arse? You've found the one." I blush slightly and laugh nervously waiting for West's response.
"What can I say, get an American girl and your sorted." I nod in agreement with his statement. "However can we quickly go back to her taste in music, there is a slight difference between classical and rock music is there not?" West looks at me and then back to Jake looking confused and I'm not sure how to explain my answer.
"Well I guess it just depends on how I'm feeling. If I'm reading or working then I like to listen to classical music mostly piano pieces as they keep me focused. However when I just want to enjoy some good music or blast it like you were before then I like American rock. When it comes to actually playing instruments I like to play piano over guitar or drums just because you can put yourself into the keys and chords. Anyway, you didn't need a lecture on my music preference so I'm going to stop waffling." I'm aware that I am blushing hard as I take a drink of my beer.
"Hold up. You're pretty cool." Jake states and I laugh.
"You sound surprised."
"Most girls West hires or keeps around him are just basic bitches with nothing in their heads. Not you."
"Not me."
"Aubrey why don't you play us something on the piano; no one has ever played for me." West asks and I contemplate it.
"Ok I can do that, I am abit rusty though as I haven't played in months."
"Lead the way, we can go to the music room. You coming Jake?" West stands up and follows me and Jake does the same.
"I don't want to miss this."
We go to the music room in single file like children. I sit at the piano feeling nervous as both boys watch me from the sofa beside me. (I have inserted a clip at the beginning of the chapter to present the scene. This is how I picture it and the music she plays.) When I finish the piece it's almost too soon as I don't even remember the last few minutes but it felt amazing.
"I didn't realise how much I missed playing. Maybe I should make the time to play more now that I'm settled in."
"I can't believe I didn't know you could play like that. Do you play many instruments?" West inquires and I take a little minute to think.
"I play piano, guitar, cello and a bit of drums." I take a swig of my drink and look over at Jake who is just staring at me. I smile and he smiles back which does melt my heart a little.

It was later on now and West had been invited to some club opening in London city center to which me and Jake were also invited to tag along to. Since arriving here West's publicist had been building up my image and social media profiles. My Twitter was literally lit so when it came to events like these, I was encouraged to go and throw myself into the public eye.
Dylan came in the limo to pick us up at 10pm. I had gotten showered and changed into a black plunging dress, West wore a grey suit and Jake wore a black suit with a white, half unbuttoned shirt. I had to admit that we all looked amazing. We took some drinks with us in the limo for 'pre-drinks'.
When we arrived the paparazzi were everywhere, mostly focused on West who walked in front with a girl he had picked up on the way, but some wanted pictures of me and Jake who had followed behind. We posed and then continued to walk the red carpet and into the club. It was packed full of fans and companies that were clearly networking. We were escorted through by security and taken to the VIP section which made me feel slightly over the top. I'm just me, not a very important person.

I was just sat with Jake for most of the night getting to know one another as we both continued to get more and more drunk. A man in his late 40s approached me and handed me a business card. He offered me a chance with his company to do a bit of modelling and only afterwards did West inform me that it was the Head of Advertisement for Glamour magazine. I actually couldn't believe it until I looked at the business card and realised he was being truthful. Maybe I would give him a call tomorrow...
A couple of hours and a lot of shots later we left the club and West decided to host a last minute after party at his house so pretty much everyone from the club and other clubs around all met us back at home. What could go wrong?
