"Yeah, when I think about you, babe." I sing the final line of my latest record into the microphone, earning cheers and thumbs up from my team behind the glass.
"I love it." Andrew declares, standing up and cheering. "It's my favourite so far. I really, really love it. Good job."
"Me too. I want it to be a single. Not the single, that's still gonna be In My Blood. And the promo single is Lost In Japan, but this needs to be a single, somewhere." I reply, pulling my headphones off and walking out of the booth.
"I think so too." Brian adds. "Has she heard it?"
"Has who heard it?" Andrew asks, suddenly interested. "Who's 'she'?"
"Oh, is this the girl you made me write the song about?" Scott chimes in.
"What girl?" Andrew persists, still confused.
"Is this the girl that you've spent all week messaging?" My drummer, Mike asks.
"And that you've been stalking on instagram constantly?" My guitarist, Zubin interjects.
"Who? Why is this the first I've heard of any girl?" Andrew stresses.
"I- uh, it's..." I stammer, "Remember in New York?"
"What about New York?"
"When you- when those photos got leaked of me and that girl and you had to get rid of them?"
"Aurora Versini?" His mouth forms a shocked and surprised 'o'. "The girl you had a meeting with the next day?" I nod.
"Yeah. Her." I exhale.
"Do you really think she's a wise choice of girl to be obsessed with?" He gives me the familiar look I know so well, when I make a bad decision.
"I never said I was obsessed with her." Many pairs of eyes burn into me, begging to differ.
"You spent all night looking through her instagram and smiling to yourself, and didn't answer for five whole seconds when I asked you if you wanted muffins." Brian points out. "That's like, a record."
"And on Thursday you spent at least 20 minutes laughing at something she sent you, and when you showed me I didn't even breathe air through my nose." Mike adds. "I'd say you're pretty obsessed, Mendes."
"It was funny!" I protest, knowing I've fooled none of them.
"So Nervous is about her? And you've known her, what? A week?"
"Yes, and? It's not like I'm declaring my love for her or anything, guys."
"Yeah, he's saving that for track six." Scott jokes.
I roll my eyes, "All I'm saying is she makes me nervous. Which she does. Anyway, moving on..."
"Is this the only song you've wrote for her?" Brian asks curiously.
