Shawn and I sat in the booth separated by glass. The lights off. Put my headphones on as did Shawn. "You guys really can just do whatever, improvise" the producer said through his mic into our head phones. We both looked back at him and nodded.
The music started playing in our ears. "I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know" Shawn started off.
"I know I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know no, no" I repeated back as the repetition added more effect.
"Can't seem to let you go, can't seem to keep you close" Shawn Sung.
Suddenly all these emotions sprung up in me. I felt sadness rush and take over. "Hold me close"
"Can't seem to let you go, can't seem to keep you close" Shawn looked at me dead in the eyes.
"You know I didn't mean it, though"
"Tell me where you've been lately. Tell me where you've been lately"
"Just hold me close"
"Tell me where you've been lately. Tell me where you've been lately"
"Don't, don't, don't, don't let me go"
"Can't seem to keep you close, can't seem to let you go"
"I didn't mean it, though"
"I know you didn't mean it, though. I know you didn't mean it, though"
"I didn't mean it, though"
"I know you didn't mean it, though I know you didn't mean it, though (I don't wanna let you go) Tell me you didn't mean it, though (no, no, no) Tell me you didn't mean it, though (Can't seem to let you go, seem to let you go) I know you didn't mean it, though I wanna know you mean it though (Hold me close) I know you didn't mean it though I know you didn't mean it though (Just hold me close) I can't seem to let you go, can't seem to hold you close" Shawn and I just sang as if we were in a conversation.
The lights switched back on and Shawn and I looked at each other with huge smiles. "That was fucking awesome!!" I squealed as I ran into shawns arms.
I jumped off of Shawn and we went out to the rest of the guys. "You guys smashed that!!" The producer said
"That's the coolest thing I've ever done!" Shawn smiled
"That was the best thing to watch!" Andrew was blown away.
"Thank you!!" We both giggled
"Do you guys wanna hear it back?"
"Yeah!!" I squealed
I sat down on shawns lap as it played out loud for everyone to hear. I wrapped my arms around shawns neck as we listened. "I really like the breathiness in your voice Alissa. It sounds like you guys are tired of "fighting""
"Thanks.." I smiled at the producer
The music stopped and I looked at shawn and pecked his lips multiple times. "That's insane!"
"There's still more we need to do like the harmonies but you guys have got yourself a solid bridge."'the prouder nodded. "I know alissa you had your doubts about releasing this. Do you want to?"
"Yes! This is fucking crazy! I love it!"
"When do you think it's going to get done?" Andrew asked while playing with his phone
"Fully? In less than a week. You guys have sung the whole song we just need to do harmonies." He looked at me and Shawn. "But we also need to ask island when it can come out so you guys can give the song the promo it deserve."

We got back to the hotel for dinner. We sat in the hotel lobby. "Do you mind if we take pictures with you?" A girl stuttered out
"Yeah sure honey." Shawn smiled softly
"And Alissa." She giggled and pointed at me.
We took a picture and she started talking to us. "What were you guys doing today?" She asked
"We were in the studio." I said
"Is Shawn releasing new music?" Her eyes lightened up.
"That I cant tell." He chuckled
"I love your accent." I laughed
"Thank you!" She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"You're from England, right?" I chuckled before seeing a little girl run up and hug Shawn and I legs pushing us together unexpectedly. "Oh hey cutie." I giggled looking down at her.
I got down on my knees so I could see her face properly. "You are so pretty." I said to her
"Thank you." She his behind the other girl
"This is my little sister." She rolled her eyes. "Go back to mum. You should be eating." She said sternly.
"Come here." I opened my arms out for her and picked her up. She kissed my cheek melting my heart. "Your so cute!!" I looked at Shawn and gave him one of those faces.
"How old are you guys?" Shawn asked
"She's four I'm eight." She smiled at Shawn "we should probably get going, we need to finish off our Dinner. Come on ari." She took her hand out for her little sister to hold. She jumped out of my arms and locked her hands with her little sister.
"Shhaawwwnnn..." I moaned looking at him and hugging him. "I really want a babyyyyy.." I rested my chin on his chest.
"You don't want a baby. You like the idea of having one."
"No, but like. I do really want one." I gave him puppy dog eyes.
"Listen, look at me." He held my face "we are 17 years old." He chuckled
"I hate you!" I said playfully
"I love you too." He kissed the top of My head. "Do you want to go back up to the hotel room, I've just got a really long meeting about tour and you seem really tried and it's 9:30?" Shawn suggested
"Are you sure?" I pouted
"Yeah, go to sleep.." he kissed the tip of my nose
"Night, Love you.." I said as I walked softly to the elevator
