Studio Romance

Part 2

When you realize you've been staring at him, your cheeks become flushed with embarrassment. 

„What are you doing!" you think to yourself. 

You should be focusing on work but his beautiful silhouette keeps stealing away your focus.

When you look up again, instead of him looking at the computer, he is now looking at you. 

Your heart stops, and for what feels like eternity you just stare at each other without saying a word.

Finally he breaks the silence only to ask you if you are alright.

You break eye contact and nod your head. He goes back to reading your work while you scold yourself silently. 

„Get it together, you are a professional". 

 After a few more minutes, he leans back in his seat with a rather serious look on his face. He thinks for a second and then asks: 

„Have you ever been in love?". 

The shock from the question must have been plastered all over your face, because now he is laughing at you.

You look at him bewildered, not really knowing how to answer this sudden personal question.

He's silent for a moment and then he says „The reason why you think that something is missing is simple, your lyrics lack feeling". 

Your heart sinks.

That is not something a singer-songwriter want's to hear.

You lower your head, obviously shaken by what he said.

He sees your expression change, puts his hand on your shoulder and apologizes, 

„That was not suppose to sounds as harsh as it did". 

You look up at him and smiling weakly, still disheartened but he did not say it to be mean.

You know he is right, and you know his question hit you hard because, no, as badly as you don't want to admit it, you haven't actually been in love. 

You awkwardly answer his question and he gives you a warm smile.

Damn, there is that flutter in your stomach again.

There is an awkward silence for a few seconds, but then you talk things over for a little while, and decide to call it a day and head home for now. 

On your way home you can't stop thinking about what he said.

You know he didn't mean to hurt your feelings but you can't help it.

The next day you wake up feeling very unmotivated.

But you pull yourself out of bed, take a shower, eat, brush your teeth and head to the studio. 

On your way over you try and think of a solution for all of this.

But all you can think about is how nervous you are. 

"Will it be to awkward now? Am I gonna be able to make this album happen? what do I do?".

 You shake your head „Stop it girl, you can do this". 

 When you finally arrive at the building, the nerves kick in again.

"This is stupid" you think to yourself.

You stand there for a few seconds, you put both hands to your cheeks and give them a little slap, then your hand on the door handle and open the door.

You take of your jacket and head to your studio, but once you are in front of the door, you hesitate.

Then you hear humming from inside.

You open the door silently and peak inside.

You open the door silently and peak inside.

The sight that awaits you inside takes your breath away. 

„Ahh, it's him" you think to yourself and feel your heart skip a beat.
