A: "Can you pick up some donuts on your way to the set?."

R: "sure. I can stop at Dukin donuts on the way." I say to Andrew as I held my phone propped on my shoulder while putting on my sneakers.

A: "There are a lot of people here so, bring enough. I will give you the money back later."

R: "okay. Anything else?." I say as I fast walk through the apartment to the kitchen, where Ali is already waiting for me with my mug filled up with coffee in her hands.
Thank God for Ali.. I give her a kiss on top of her head and take the mug out of her hand. This travel mug that I bought at Starbucks a week ago in Los Angles, when I was there for the AMAS, is a God send. I am always in a hurry in the morning. So, this way I still get to drink my coffee and it saves time. Win-win situation. I of course, can set my alarm earlier but than my mornings would be relaxed. Where is the fun in that?

"Bye Ali. I love you." I mouth at her while I am still on the phone with Andrew. I grab my keys from the table and hurry out of the apartment.

A: "no that's it. I will send you the address. See you in a bit."

R: "okay. See ya." I hang up the phone as I click on the elevator button.

A couple of seconds later,I get a text message from Andrew with the address where the music video of 'lost in Japan' is being filmed. These last few weeks have been crazy as hell. My biorhythm is completely fucked up, I am high on caffeine all the time but my god, I am having so much fun. This whole experience is so unreal. I am so fortunate that I can get to experience all of this.

The elevator door opens and I see my creepy neighbor standing in the elevator as well. I told you about this guy earlier right? Well, in case I didn't, he is the guy that always make weird comments when he sees me. Literally all the hairs on my body stand up straight, whenever I am close to him. The man gives me the creeps.

"Good morning gorgeous." He says with a weird smirk on his face as he scans over my body from top to toe.

"Hello."

"What are your plans for this day?."

"I am going to work." I say bluntly. I do not know how much shorter I have to be, for him to realize that I do not want to speak to him.

"And what are your plans for this evening?."

"I am working." I say again. God, why is this elevator so damn slow?

"The entire evening?." He says as he takes a step closer to me.
"Yep."

Luckily my phone starts to ring loudly before he can ask another question.
Incoming call Shawn Mendes...

Saved by the bell (literally)

R: "hey babe." I emphasize the word 'babe', hoping that the guy (who's name I still do not know) get the clue that I am not interested.

S: "babe? That's an interested way to call me." He chuckles on the other side of the line.

R: "yes, I cannot wait to see you either. I miss you so much." I say loudly as I try to make it sound as natural as possible. I am sure have some explaining to do later.

S: "what the hell are you saying? I saw you less than 24 hours ago."

I do an internal happy dance once the elevator reaches the ground level.
"Have a good day." I say to the creep guy and basically run out of the elevator.

"thank God, he is gone." I mumble, mostly to myself as I walk across the street to Dukin' donuts. Did you ever noticed that there is a Dunkin donuts on every corner of the street here in New York? It's crazy.
