My Fresh Air ~ Jeff Wittek

Chapter 11

* Aspyn's POV *

The next morning is here and honestly, I do not feel like hiking this morning. I don't know what was on my mind when I told Jeff that I could join him. I sigh as I pull the covers off. I go to the kitchen to make my coffee and heat up some oatmeal for my breakfast. As I wait for it to heat up, I go do my thing in the bathroom.

For my outfit, I have on a simple black sports bra and workout leggings that have a mesh cutout on my thighs. I throw my hair up in a bun to prevent me from sweating faster. I hear that my oatmeal is done by the sound of my microwave beeping.

I listen to the podcast that Jeff was talking about while I eat. Their podcast isn't terrible but I do like it. I like podcasts that have lots of humor in it and I think that this does it. They bring in funny stories and some things that aren't filmed from their cameras. You get more content than what you see on a video.

I look at the time and it was already 5:15 am. I have a lot of time left but I don't know when he wants to leave. I'll just head next door around 5:30 but meanwhile, I'm trying to write down some lyrics for my new song.

I'm just having a hard time because I don't know what I should write about. I also need to film for my next Youtube video. Eh, whatever. I'm gonna write down some options I have to sing as a cover. I'll film it later on today.

I've been singing for a long time now and I just really enjoy doing it. I think it's very therapeutic because I can sing out my feelings. But I wanted to do something I loved other than Youtube. I hope I can get signed with a record label and actually make this my career.

It is such a blessing to be able to do two things that I love as my job. Don't get me wrong, I love making videos and being able to look back at them as my memories but I'm not going to be able to keep doing this as my source of income when I get older. It takes time to be able to make singing a career, so I'm just going to enjoy what I am doing now.

It's 5:30 already and I'm going to head next door now. I grab my headphones and my sunglasses. I chew on my lip while I wait for him to open the door. I'm trying to think of some topics that I could talk about with him without being too nosy. Maybe it'll come naturally.

This is what I have to do on a daily basis; think of something to talk about, how to say it, what to do to not be awkward, etc. You would think that I would know how to start a conversation and not be weird with men but nooo this is how I just had to to be.

The doorknob turns," Morning!" I cheerfully say. Wow, that was a bit much.

" Morning to you too. You seem happy, come on in " he's only in his shorts.

" I'm not this cheery early in the morning. I honestly I don't know what came out of me," I admit as I walk in and he gives out a chuckle.

I scan the room to see the look of his apartment. It reminds me of a simple bachelor pad. In the very corner, I see that he has a barber pole so that's probably the spot where he cuts people's hair for the videos.
