| �Parents,� I grumbled. I slammed my phone down and thought about how it was now 2002 and I was living in Florida, by myself! This was not how it was supposed to be. I was supposed to have my best friend here, my Megan. But, her mother said �Wait, wait until you�re 18�. So, here I was in Nov on Megan�s 17 birthday alone in my house. Yes, my house. It�s mine, paid for, and everything else is paid by me. I write, and I like to think I�m very good at it. I write anything you can think of. Stories, poem, songs, news articles. I�ve done it all. And thanks to saving up some money, I could afford my own home. And being in my business, I also got to met some really awesome people. Such as Mark Andrews, better known as Sisqo. I had a special interview with him and than I helped him write a song. And then I knew Pink. She came to my office one day when I was writing a song. Well, actually her car broke down right in front of my office and she asked to use my phone. But I was working on this song and she overheard it and liked it. So, she has a few songs from me. I knew a few other people from just interviews. I laughed to myself. I also knew the Backstreet Boys. That was the surprise I had for Megan. �Oh well, there�s always next Nov,� I told myself. I smiled as I walked over to my sheet music, turned on my computer and started playing words in my head. I leaned back in my office chair, still thinking about the words I had written down almost three months ago. I could faintly think of a tune. But the words, the words just keep running over and over in my mind. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I heard a knock on my door. �Sorry, are you busy Resa?� I glanced up and into a pair of brown eyes that just glowed with unlaughed laughter. �Nah, I�m just thinkin� of some things. Have a seat Alex.� I pointed to the chair in front of my desk and he sat down in it. �So, what brings you by? Haven�t seen you or the other guys in ages.� �Yeah well, busy lives ya know. The album and all that stuff.� I just nodded my head. My phone started ringing right than. �Pardon me Alex. Hello,� I answered into the phone. �Hey girl, sorry to bother you at work,� I heard a voice speak into the phone. I quickly smiled as I knew the voice. �Oh, you�re not bothering me Megan.� I watched as AJ�s ears sorta perked up as I mentioned Megan. Okay, okay, so I mentioned a few things about her. I had her pictures up in my office and at my house and Alex had been to my house once, when we worked on a song. So, he often told me she was pretty and that he wanted to met her, but I couldn�t bring her yet, not when she was moving in July of 2003. Though, no one knew that but me and her mother. I hadn�t told Megan yet! �So, what can I do for you?� �I�m bored.� �So you called me at work?� �Yeah. I knew you wouldn�t really be doing anything, right?� �Actually, yeah, I have an article due in two days.� �But it�s already done right?� I laughed to myself. Megan was one of my best friends, of course she would really know me. �Yeah, I finished a few days ago. So, what do you want to talk about?� �Something I�ve been thinking of. Are you sure I�ll get to met Alex?� I smiled a wicked smile into the phone and looked up to see AJ lookin� at me. �Of course. I made a promise and of course I�ll keep it. He�s the one person you want to meet. Just let me get things arranged.� �I know, I know. Well, I�m going to let you get back to your busy job.� �Hey, it is busy. I�ll talk to you later girl.� I hung up my phone and smiled at AJ. �I�m sorry about that. What can I do for you?� �I�ve been thinking of a song, and I need your help.� �Me?� I asked in disbelief. �Yeah, you�re so talented, I need your insight.� �Fine, be at my place, say, hmm, seven, okay?� �Sounds good to me.� He smiled, got up and walked out of my office. I pinned my hair back and changed the beat on my computer. I had made it a tad bit faster and still AJ shook his head. �Slow it down.� I grabbed the mouse and slowed it down some. �There, I like that.� I saved the file, still unknown name. �Okay, what else?� �I don�t know.� I glanced at the time and noticed it was already going on like ten. �Alex, I�m sorry to cut this short, but I have to get ready for bed. I have an early appointment tomorrow.� �Oh, I didn�t even realize the time. I�m sorry to keep you up.� �It�s okay. Just stop by when you want to work on this, kay?� �It might be a while cause we have the promotions and stuff coming up to do. By the way, when is Megan supposed to come down?� �Well, I�m getting her in July. Or more like I�m flying her down, why do you ask?� �I�m just curious to met her. She seems rather nice and all.� �She is. But yeah, in July you can met her.� He smiled, gave me a quick hug and walked out the door. I groaned as I saw that her flight was delayed. �Great, just fuckin� great,� I thought to myself. I sat down in the chair and decided on waiting for the plane to get in. An hour later, I heard my cell phone ringing. �Hello,� I mumbled. �Grumpy aren�t we?� Howie asked me over the phone. �Actually, believe it or not babe, I am. Megan�s flight is late, like really bad and I have to stay here until she comes.� �Would you like some company?� �Yeah, but she just can�t see ya.� �Of course.� �Thanks D.� �No problem, what else are friends for.� �Right.� I sighed and hung up my phone. Okay, okay, so Megan liked Alex and granted, I did like Howie. But me and him were just friends. We had chilled with each other a few times. But it took us a while for us to even be friends. When I first met him, he was just getting over a long term relationship so he was a big dickhead, and I was a total bitch. But now, things have worked themselves out. I sighed and leaned my head back against the seat, thinking that I had been in Orlando already for a year. It really hadn�t seemed like it was that long. I felt someone start playing with hair and I totally freaked. |
