My Bitch // C.Z.K and B.M.L.A

II

While Zion Kuwonu sat at home fanaticizing over a girl whom he had not met, she was at the studio recording a new song she had been working on for a while now. Aliyah was currently sat in the booth sketching out an EP cover. It was going okay, but she couldn't figure out was missing. 

buzz! buzz! buzz!

Three notification back to back. She ignored the other vibrations and her phone went silent. After a few minutes, another notification came in, but it was a loud ding causing her to mess up her sketch. 

Suddenly feeling agitated Aliyah grabs her phone and checks her notifications.

zionkuwonu liked your post +7
zionkuwonu sent you a message: hey, I love your music. Maybe you'd...

Zion? She asked herself. She had heard this name before. It was the name of her ex, but the last name didn't match up. Feeling intrigued Aliyah clicks on the notification and waits for her screen to catch up. 

She read out his entire message and smiled. Yeah, like he's an actual artist. She disregards the fanboy and puts her phone on do not disturb. 

There was a quiet knock on the studio door before the door slowly opens. Aliyah quickly shuts her book and stuffs it into a small backpack she had brought along. "How are you liking the studio?" 

"It's nice, better than my last. When do I meet up with the band?"

"Tomorrow actually. You might want to get some sleep, they are. . . a lot to handle."

"I'll head home in a few, I still had a few demos I want to try out."

"Alright and I'm glad you like the place."

"Thanks, Simon." 

"No problem. Nice to have you as a part of the team."

"Nice to be here." 

The tall English man nods then walks out closing the door lightly. Aliyah grabs her bag from the floor and begins to pack up all her things. She had been in the studio since around 8 am and barely had anything to eat. 

After closing everything off Aliyah grabbed her things and headed towards the elevator. As she walked down the hall a boy stood in front of the elevator as it opened. "Hey! Could you hold it open?" She said loudly as she jogged towards the metal doors. To her surprise, the boy had heard her and his arm was in front of the slot where the doors open. "Thanks."

"No problem." The boy's voice sounded raspy as he spoke. As Aliyah looks up she notices more of his features. He had a sharp jawline and thin eyes like hers. Over his noticeably brown eyes, he wore glasses with a pretty thick prescription. He continuously licked his lips, so either he was incredibly nervous for some reason or he just had crusty, chapped lips. 

Aliyah weighed her options as she continued to scan the mysterious boy and decided on chapped lips. "Are you new here?" The mysterious boy shifted on his feet to face Aliyah. He wore a now warm smile as he stared at her.

"Yeah, this was my first official day actually." She kindly replied back. The awkward tension in the air had suddenly been lifted and Aliyah wiped her palm on her jeans.

"Well, let me be hopefully the first to introduce myself. I'm Brandon." He put out his hand and Aliyah took it. His hands seemed to be equally as sweaty as hers, but yet he held a confident face. "You are?"

"Aliyah, nice to meet you, Brandon."
