“Yeah, I’m always switching shit up.”

“I can see that.”

We stood there for a second, and she blushed before looking away.

“This is crazy,” she said. “This is how we first met.”

“I know.” I looked her over again. “And by the way, you looking real good today. Yellow might be your color.”

She laughed and looked down at her outfit, then back up at me.

“Really? I feel like I look like a big ol’ sun.”

I laughed. “A curvy, thick-ass sun.”

She took her sunglasses off and looked at me before crossing her arms.

“Sir, are you flirting with me?”

I laughed for real. “I ain’t flirting with you. I’m just saying what I see. You look good.”

“Mmm-hmm.” She looked at me for a long second. “Well, excuse me. I have to get back to King.”

She went to walk past me, and I caught her hand. Not hard. Just enough to stop her.

I’d been wanting to put my hands on her since she came back around, so having her hand in mine, even for a second, had me holding on a little longer than I probably should’ve.

“I wanted to holla at you about something.”

“What’s up?”

“You still sing?”

She laughed like I’d asked her something crazy.

“Absolutely not. I was barely singing when I met you.”

“Well, Derez, my manager, wanted to talk to you. That was one of the main reasons I wanted you to come to the studio today.”

Her eyes widened. “Oh, the big older guy? He started talking to me about something, but we got interrupted when he got a call and stepped out.”

“Yeah. He heard that old track we did and thinks it might be something there. Nothing official yet. We’d fuck around with it first, see how it sound, and if we decide to actually use it, Derez and the label handle all that contract shit.”

Her mouth dropped open.

“What? Of course I would love to finish the song. When are we finishing it?”

“Today, if you down. I can have my brother swing by and pick up King so he ain’t sitting around here bored.”

“Okay, that’s cool with me. But I’m a little hungry. Do you mind if I run to the vending machine real quick?”

“Nah, it’s cool. I’ll get you something to eat. You down for Chinese?”

“Hell yeah. Get me some crab rangoon too.”

We both busted out laughing and headed back inside the studio together.

I had Shayne pull up our song.
