I've been sitting on this chair in the studio for a week straight, looking at the same blank piece of paper, not having the minimum inspiration for my last song. My listeners liked so much "everything I wanted" last week and I don't want to disappoint their expectations.
I've tried everything: some old memory, some new experience, trying new fun or original activities... But nothing worked. I need something real, something special. I have no clue on what to do, the new album's release is in two weeks and I have too many things to think about! I'm stressed out.

Oh, my manager is coming, I hope he's not here to yell at me 'cause my notebook is white.

<<Let me guess, you still haven't written anything good, have you?>>

I just shake my head in response but he doesn't seem upset, wait...

Why is he smiling now?

<<Okay, don't worry, I have a solution for this writer's block and this will even make you gain more success>>

<<God, are you serious? Cuz I can't stand this situation no more!>>

<<Yes! When a singer is in your condition, the best way to get through it is by making a collab with another artist, maybe famous and loved by the people like the one we chose for you>>

<<Wait! Really? I mean, I don't know if anyone could match my style, especially in this album, it's very personal and introspective>>

<<Oh no, Billie. Trust me. You are going to LOVE to work with her. I've already talked to her agent and he seemed pretty convinced. We only need to check some little things>>

<<Ehm, I don't have any other options so... Who is she?>>

<<This is a surprise, we have a meeting this evening so please, take a shower and wear something appropriate, thank you>>

<<A blind date!? No thank you, I'll pass, you know I don't like surprises and... What's wrong with my puppy's pajamas?>>

<<Don't be silly! This is an opportunity that happens once in a lifetime. You are going to love me for this, so now, GO!>>

I just look at him sadly mimicking a "Please, nooo" but he shakes his head.

<<At least tell me who is she!>>

<<Billie. Get up, NOW!>>

I huff and get up, reaching my room to get changed. I'm sad my brother is not here, he would have told me what was going on but unfortunately he's abroad for work and I don't have any idea on when he's coming back.
When I got out of the shower I wear a simple neon green baggy T-shirt and sweatpants, I add some chain around my neck and I put my hair in two buns. Obviously, no make up!

<<Billie, hurry up! We are leaving in five minutes!>>

I think we are going to the meeting place, it's a huge building where some artists, like me, record their albums or sign deals.
I run downstairs and get in car with my manager, in a few minutes I'll find out what this big surprise is.

Why am I a little excited?

I try to stay calm and I follow my manager into the building.

<<Billie, I'll reach you in a minute, I forgot my wallet in the car. Go up to the third floor, first room on the left>>

I simply nod and head to the elevator, I walk in and I press the number tree on the panel. The doors are about to close when I hear a high soft voice screaming:

<<Wait a second, please!>>

And a hand shows between the doors, just before they closed.

What a cute hand!

Tiny fingers with plenty of rose gold rings, painted white acrylics and wait, I've seen these tattoos before...

It can't be.

I look up and, as the door opened, I stand still, breathless at the sight of this gorgeous girl. But she's not a simple girl, she's...

<<Ariana Grande?!>>

I whisper barely breathing, can't stopping looking at her. She smiles at me, puts a strand of her beautiful dark hair behind a ear and I think she's starting blushing.

<<Yep! And you must be Billie, am I right?>>

We are looking at each other in the eyes and I feel like the time is stopping, I smile back, trying to come back to the reality and... the doors are closing again!
I quickly press the button and invite her to come in.
She giggles and come next to me, pressing the number three.

<<Wait, you are going to the third? Cuz I'm headed there, too>>

<<Mh, yeah! I think I'm here just for you so you shouldn't be surprised but... Seeing your face now I understand you didn't know, oh!>>

She giggles and I'm out of words.

<<Well, I'm happy it's you, anyways. I always appreciated your music and now I'm going to be part of it, isn't that fantastic?>>

She says and walks out of the elevator, with nonchalant.

<<Absolutely! I love your music too...>>

I respond following her, trying to return calm.

<<Only my music?>>

She turns around gazing at me and winks so I started blushing and she laughs.

<<I'm kidding, c'mon!>>

She shakes her head smiling and enter the room and I do the same.

It's going to be very very interesting...
