The Love Behind Everything Else
Work, work and News?!
(Elizabeth's POV)
"I'm glad you've taken the time to begin writing. I've already arranged for a few songwriters to write a few of the songs for your album as you'll need time to write your own." Simon explained, taking out a few sheets of paper from his drawer.
"Allen, one of our writers here wrote this. If this is fine, I suggest you begin recording today." he stated handing me the paper.
I read the words, soaking in the meaning. I scanned the sheet and looked up to face Simon.
"I'll start today." I said. "Good. Now, Skye here will take you to your recording session." he replied. I nodded and walked out of his office.
~~~~~
"You've got a beautiful voice and the way you sang; full of passion! Okay, now you hear this and decide if it's fine or if you want try again. Personally I think it's brilliant." Skye smiled, showing off her perfectly white and sparkly teeth. "Let's get to it then!" I exclaimed.
Soon after listening to the song I recorded, I relaxed into the chair and sighed.
"I like it." I smiled with satisfaction. "Awesome! Now there's another thing you have to do." she began. I tilted my head in confusion.
"Name the song, duh!" she laughed.
Finally after going through all the song stuff with both Skye and Simon, I decided to go home.
After I parked my car in the driveway, I walked into my house.
I went straight into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and some chips. I dropped my bag on the counter and sat down on a chair. Rummaging through my bag, I took out my phone.
"Wow, I've got a lot of missed calls." I stared down at the phone screen. All of them were from Alexia, so I quickly called her.
"Hey Elizabeth! You home yet?" Alexia chirped through the phone. "Yep. Sorry for not picking up. Simon and recording stuff." I explained. "No problem! Anyway, I was wondering if I could come over for a couple of days. I'm emptying my apartment and I needed a place to stay until I find some other place." she said.
"Sure! I say you have your things brought here. You can move in with me!" I suggested. "Really?! That'd be great! You're 100 percent fine with this?" she inquired. "I'm 110 percent fine with it!" I laughed. "Thank you so much, Liz!" she exclaimed happily. "Hey, what are friends for?" I said.
As soon as I ended the call, I went into the spare room in front of mine. Alexia already slept there when she was over, but I'll have clean up a bit.
I started with replacing the bed sheets with new clean ones. I placed the pillows and blanket neatly in their places. Next I cleaned off the dust from all the furniture and inside the closet.
Soon I was done with the room, I decided to make something for dinner.
As I was walking into the kitchen, the doorbell rang.
"I'm here!" Alexia shouted plunging onto me in the doorway. "Hey! Glad you made it!" I chuckled, getting up. "Thanks! Uh, my stuff will also be here soon." she told as I helped her to her feet.
"Okay. Come on, I was about to make dinner." I gestured for her to follow me into the kitchen.
"Are you fine with pasta?" I asked. "Yeah sure! Let's make it together." Alexia said, grabbing a pot and filling it with water.
"This is delicious!" I exclaimed as I didn't help a bit with making the food. "Aww, thanks! So anyways, how was your day?" she questioned. "It was fun and boring at the same time. I mean it was great recording and stuff with Skye, she works at the recording studio. It was boring because of old Uncle Simon." I rolled
my eyes at the thought of him talking and talking.
"Haha! Well yours went way better than mine. I had to pack and all the moving hustle and bustle." Alexia whined. "Speaking of packing, aren't the moving trucks supposed to be here by now?" I inquired looking at the time. It was 10:15.
"Yeah, I'll call them." she took out her phone and quickly began talking with the guy who owned the truck.
"Yep, he's near." Alexia got up and walked outside. I followed her to see that the truck had arrived.
"Do you girls need any help with the things?" Jacob, the driver, asked. "Yes please!" I said as I looked at the boxes. There weren't many, but some must've held some valuable things and I didn't want to break anything.
Jacob smiled and grabbed a box heading inside. Me and Alexia did the same and took the boxes into the house.
We were soon done and I offered some pasta to Jacob for helping. He gladly ate and soon he left.
"Okay, so do you want to start unpacking right now, or-"
"Tomorrow! I'm really really tired right now!" Alexia whined walking into what was now her room. I laughed and decided to go sleep myself.
~~~~~~
"Oh my god! This is gorgeous! When did you get this?" I exclaimed, examining a pastel blue dress. "It was a gift from Mom, you remember when I was visiting her." Alexia replied before getting back to unpacking. I put the dress on a hanger and placed it in the closet.
"Ugh, I'm starving!" Alexia groaned after we finished packing. "And I'm too lazy to get up and make some food. I'm ordering pizza!" I declared as I put my phone to my ear.
After a while, the pizza arrived and I paid the delivery guy the money.
"Thank goodness, it's here!" Alexia grabbed the box from my hands and placed it on the carpet. She then turned on the T.V. surfing through different channels.
"Hey, which movie is this one?" I asked staring cluelessly on the screen. "It's uh, I don't know actually." she shrugged. I rolled my eyes, but watched whatever it was anyway.
"So when do you plan on releasing your songs?" Alexia questioned after the movie ended. "I don't know, but I'd say soon. I mean I've finished a few songs, I could have the audios released, but I'll leave that work to management. And anyway, I have another meeting with Simon tomorrow morning, so yeah." I explained. She nodded, understandingly.
We talked about some random things and made plans for the rest of the week for the few hours, before calling it a day.
~~~~~
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I dismissed it and took a quick shower.
I got dressed and walked into the kitchen to make some breakfast.
"Good morning!" Alexia chirped, placing a plate of pancakes in front of me. "Thanks!" I smiled munching the food she made. She was such and amazing cook. "No problem, Liz. You might want to hurry up or you might be late for the meeting." she said taking a bite of her bacon. I nodded.
Finally, I arrived at Syco and I quickly parked my car and headed inside.
"Hello, Elizabeth! Mr. Cowell has been expecting you." Logan, the recipient told. "Okay, thanks!" I called rushing into Simon's office.
"Good morning, sir." I said taking a seat. "Morning, Elizabeth. I have news for you." Simon informed.
"I'm glad you've taken the time to begin writing. I've already arranged for a few songwriters to write a few of the songs for your album as you'll need time to write your own." Simon explained, taking out a few sheets of paper from his drawer.
