Her

13

Lin:

She loved me. Desi loved me. She said it back. My life is complete. "Baby, where's the hairbrush?" My love asks as she's almost done with her makeup in the bathroom. "In here," I say and hand it to her while going to the bathroom. I wrap my arms around her waist from behind her and she smiles at me. "Thank you," She turns her head and gives me a peck on the cheek.

I go back to my closet to pick out my outfit for tonight. We were getting ready to celebrate Layla's birthday in an hour. It was supposed to be a fancy dinner with some of her friends I haven't met. I choose a white button up shirt and some black pants with some black shoes.

After getting showered and dressed, I brush my teeth, style my hair back into a small ponytail, put my favorite cologne on and my gold watch as well. "Holy shit," Desi says when she finally gets a good view of me. She takes her phone out and takes a picture of me.

"So I'm guessing I look good." I whip my invisible hair, making her laugh. "Good is an understatement." She says and I pull her closer to me. "Come here, you gorgeous woman." I say, making her laugh again. I kiss her and she pulls away quickly. I frown but then hear her say, "Oh, almost forgot my purse!" She says, running quickly to her nighstand.

I start laughing uncontrollably and she glares at me. "What?" She asks, and I say, "You look like a penguin when you run in those heels." I say and laugh some more. She was a dork, but she was my dork.

"Oh, shut up, will ya?" She says, a laugh escaping her mouth. I love how she didn't take anything personally and loved a good joke.

"Now are you ready?" She asks, putting a sarcastic emphasize on "now". I chuckle and open the door for her. "Yes, ma'am." I say and she grins. "Thank you, sir."

Desi:

We're finally here at dinner and we were supposed to meet with Layla, Anthony, Phillipa, Daveed, and Oak, aka Layla's closest friends. I've met them before and they're very nice. Lin, however, hasn't met them yet.

"There's the birthday girl!" I say as I spot Layla sitting down on a big table. "Hi! Glad you could make it!" She says and we hug tightly. I hand her her gift and she thanks me. "Oh, please! You really thought I was going to miss your 29th birthday!" I say and we both laugh.

Lin then proceeds to greet Layla and I start saying hi to her friends. I introduce Lin to everyone and we all sit down to order our drinks. We scan through the menus as we make small talk. Layla then talks with her friends and since we didn't really know them, we kind of talked to each other on our own for a bit of time.

Suddenly my phone chimes, signaling I have a notification. I unlock it, and it's a Youtube message.

To whoever it may concern, I saw the video that was posted last night and I was amazed at the man's talent. Is there any way I could meet with him? I would like to meet with him since he has blown the world away. Maybe I could offer him a spot in my company or a record deal. Thank you.

Holy fucking shit. I gasp, and Lin turns his head to me immediately. "What's wrong, love?" He asks. "Babe, look!" I show him the message and his eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "Oh my god," He gasps as well. "This is insane, you have to do it!" I say quickly.
