Airi's POV
The hotel service brought me a 5* breakfast. I didn't eat as much, but then I begin getting ready for my studio session. I waited in the lobby for my Uber to arrive. Today I went with a bumming look and a little makeup.
33 minutes later 11:53 am
I walked to the front desk in the studio.
-Front Desk Person Tony: How may I help you today.
-Airi: My name is Airi and I have a studio session with Tray today @ 12.
-Tony I can walk you there.
In the studio room
Tony: Hey Tray this is Airi
Tray: I'm Tray nice to meet you
(Tray and Airi shook hands.)
Tray: Thank you Tony. I don't wanna waste anytime so you can take a seat anywhere and we can start reviewing the beats Rich sent me. Give me one moment to pull it up.
For the next half of hour Airi and Tray listened to beat after beat trying to find the perfect one.
Airi: Okay I think I like beat 5.
Tray: Okay let's warm up our vocals and then we can add the music.
3:00 pm after recording the song
Tray: that sounds really good I'll finish editing and then send this to Rich.
Airi: Well I know we have to at least finish 3 songs tonight but is there any food places around here? Walking distance preferably.
Tray: There's this really good sub around the corner called McCali Subs. I can get Tony to pick us up some food no need to walk.
3:43 pm
Tony knocked on the door carrying several bags of food.
Tony: Here is y'all bag and two bottles of water. See y'all later.
Tray: Thanks brother. Here is $35 keep the change.
(Airi and Tray took a break from the studio and ate their food.)

(Tray called up one of the security guards to escort Airi to her Uber.)
Tray's hotel [The next Morning]
Tray's POV
I was laying listening to the music I helped Airi record yesterday. It was around 8:00 and we didn't have a studio session until 11 today. I had nothing better to do, and I knew Airi and I would be working with Airi this whole week. I decided to do a little research on her social media sites.
20 minutes later
I was looking on Airi's Instagram when I got a call from Rich.
Phone Call: Tray and Rich
-Tray: Hey Rich, what's good? Do you like the music.
-Rich: Man I love the music from yesterday. I think today you and Airi should recorded some songs together.
-Tray: I gotta talk to my boss, but this would be a great collab.
-Rich: Man I'm ahead I already did. He said you're good to go. But for real if you ever decide to switch record levels you have a spot here @rich forever record label.
-Tray: Thanks Rich something to think about.
-Rich: aight then I'll hit you up later
At the studio
I had decided to wait outside for Airi before I went into the studio. Her Uber pulled up 3 mini later I opened the door for her and paid for her Uber ride.
In the studio
Tray: so Rich wants us to make a song together. What you think?
Airi: Oh yeah. let's do it!
Tray: Alright bet. we can find a best and then work on adding lyrics.
3 hours later
Tray: That's it right there!

(Tray and Airi called up Rich)
-Tray: you ready to hear this.
-Rich: Yeah
(Airi starts the song)
Tray: why they got doubt us? They don't even know us.

At a restaurant
Tray's POV
Airi and I did 3 songs tonight. Rich told us we had worked hard and deserved to have the rest of the day off. I asked Rich if Airi and I went out would he put it on his tip. He said we deserved it and had Teigi set up reservations for us at a 5* restaurant.
Airi: Man this restaurant is amazing and this food is great.
Tray: You deserve it only two days in the studio and you've been working hard.
Airi: Thanks, hopefully I can finish my agenda and head back to Houston by Friday.
Tray: I'm from Atlanta but I stay in Houston to when I'm not in LA.
Airi: Hey I think we should meet up when you get back in H-Town.
Tray: Most definitely
