"Can you just hold me
until I fall asleep?"

Let me tell you a story about girl and a boy...

Just kidding.

I'm gonna tell you a little about my beautiful girlfriend, Sam Saunders. She moved to Los Angeles from Australia when she was 18 to pursue her singing career. It wasn't until she was 19 when Scooter Braun, my manager found her performing at a bar on a karaoke night and talked her into singing for my label. Everything went great and she was signed. I wasn't there for the whole process, but according to Scooter she had the voice of an angel and that I needed to check her out.

It's kinda funny how we met. Scooter called for some meeting, but I walked into the room to see Sam. I admit that I was attracted the instant my eyes fell on her, but I didn't know anything about the girl. That changed rather quickly because Scooter left us alone and we had to hangout. He basically wanted me to take her under my wing. After she opened her mouth and her accent flew out, I definitely couldn't say no. I guess that was the start of something new.

I often came by to see her and my God her work ethic was incredible. She practically lived in the studio as did I. Scooter got me working with her on her debut album, which I wrote a few songs in hopes for one of them to be her first single.

Other than hanging around Sam in the studio, Scooter also thought that it would be a good idea to be seen with her in public to boost her name. That included anything like going out to eat, walking around the mall, bowling, you name it. If she was seen with me then she was something to talk about.

After about a month or so, we had gotten to know each other really well and I started developing feelings for her. I ignored them because I had other priorities, as did she. A couple more months went by and I couldn't keep my feelings inside anymore so one Friday night I asked her out on a date. Thankfully she said yes or else I would've felt stupid for thinking that I'd have the slightest chance with her. The next night I took her to a movie and then we had some ice cream after. Before the end of the night I grabbed her hand and told her how I felt about her. Let's just say that the night ended with a kiss and we had been taking it slow ever since.

One Year Later

"Ready," I mutter to myself as I take one last look in the mirror before switching off the bathroom light as I walk out into my bedroom. The clock hanging above my flat screen reads 6:25. "Good on time," I nod to myself. I'm supposed to be going over to Sam's for dinner at 7. She only lives twenty minutes away, but the thing about residing in Calabasas is that many celebrities live here and paparazzi somehow manage to get past the front gates.

I take two steps at a time down the stairs and head straight for the kitchen. "What should I drive?" I ask myself as I look at the key rack mounted on the wall. "I choose...you," I grab the keys to my Fisker Karma and pull out my phone to send Sam a text;.

Sam😘

I'm on my way (Sent 6:27 PM)

 While slipping my phone back into my pocket, I head into the garage. One tap and the garage door opens as I slip into the leather seat of my car. I start up the engine and fasten my seatbelt before slowly backing out of the garage. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I assume that it's Sam replying back.

"Let's see what's on the radio," I reach over to the tuner and one of Ariana Grande's songs flows through the speakers.

Nearing Sam's house less than ten minutes later, I see that I have a little time to spare so I make a stop at a flower stand and buy some roses. Sam really loves roses and because I'm that boyfriend, I get her what she likes.
