Title: and when i’m back in chicago i feel it (another version of me)
Fandom: NCIS: Hawai'i
Relationship: Lucy Tara/Kate Whistler
Rating: General
Chapter Word Count: 8,941
Chapter: 4/5
[read from the beginning]
Chapter Summary: “Lucy,” Dan says in surprise, “What are you doing in here?”
Lucy lifts a hand in a slightly awkward wave. “Just, uh, looking for Kate.”
“You just missed her,” Paula says with a small smile before turning back to the sink. “She was heading out to look for you.”
Lucy jerks her thumb over her shoulder and starts retreating. “Okay, thanks. I’ll just—”
“Stay, stay,” Dan says warmly, “We’d love to get to know you more. You are dating our daughter, after all, and I feel like we don’t know a thing about you.”
Lucy freezes, before slowly walking forward to lean against the island. She’s never felt more uncomfortable in her life—not only does she not know Kate’s parents very well, she also kind of resents them for how they’ve treated Kate since Noah’s death.
Silence settles over the kitchen, awkward and stilted. Nobody meets anybody’s eyes and the silence drags on until it passes unbearable into straight up torture.
“So, uh, what do you want to know?” Lucy finally asks.
Dan and Paula look at each other, visibly sagging in relief. Lucy would probably be more insulted if she didn’t feel the exact same way.

——————————————————————
Her heart pounded. Beating at what felt like a million beats per second. She truly wasn't expecting that from him.
Victoria texted him back, "Yeah, those were nice :) We can do definitely do more of that and go on a date. Just let me know when and where!"
He responded quite quickly, "Perfect! How does tomorrow sound? Maybe we can get some Italian?"
"That would be amazing :)"
"Great! I'll pick you up around 7."
"Sounds good. I'll see you then."
"What are you all smiley about?" Mila asks Victoria.
"I just got a date for tomorrow!"
"With Ashton?!"
"Oh my god. I can't wait to see the look on Eliana's face if you guys work out."
"Oh, I know. She'll be pissed, but whatever. She did me so dirty."
"She really did. I don't even follow her on socials, but she'll still pop up. All she's been posting is mushy gushy shit about Austin."
"Ew. I swear, she's probably already saying 'I love you' and it's been like a week."
"Well, she used hashtag 'love my bf' so, I can only assume."
"She's so dumb. They both are. I can't believe how she changed him so quickly. That date we had, he was so humble, kind, down to earth. He didn't strike me as the type of guy to fall for the slutty model type. Now he's letting her bitchyness rub off on him, making him a total asshole."
"Yeah, even in all his interviews for Elvis, he was so much different."
"It's like she's a siren or something and casted a spell on him."
"At this point, it wouldn't surprise me."
The next day
Victoria & Mila make their way to set in the morning for an 8am call time.
"Guys. Its 8 o'clock in the morning. Why must we be sucking face at craft service right now?" Vic asks Austin & Eliana who's making out, as Vic is only trying to get her coffee.
"You're just jealous that I stole your mans." Eliana says.
Victoria rolls her eyes. "I'm not, but whatever. Can y'all just get out of the way though and take this elsewhere? Thanks."
"Mm, no." Eliana responds.
"Cmon baby, let's take this to my trailer." Austin says.
"Okay!"
Austin & Eliana take off to his trailer.
"Ew. I can't believe them." Mila says.
"I know. And I have a kissing scene with him today."
"Double ew."
"For real. Wish me luck."
Victoria got her coffee and went off to her trailer to get changed before going on set.
"Where's Austin?? He was supposed to be on set ten minutes ago!" Anna our director says.
"He's still in his trailer getting ready." Sarah, a producer says.
Anna rolls her eyes, "We need to tell him Eliana isn't allowed on set anymore. She's too distracting."
"Thank God." Victoria thought to herself.
"Maybe we can just have a talk with him to start. If things don't change, then she's gotta go." Sarah says.
"Yeah, you're right. Don't wanna fully take away privileges."
"Fuck." Victoria thought to herself again.
"Hey, sorry I'm late." Austin says running in.
"About time." I say to him.
"We'd both be late if it was you & I in there." he smirked.
"You're disgusting."
"Jealousy, jealousy."
"Okay, Olivia Rodrigo."
"What?"
"Nothing. Just a name of one her songs."
"Alright, places please!" Anna calls out.
Austin & Victoria get into places.
"Annnnd, action!"
Jake walks up behind Allison as she's cooking at the stove.
"I can't believe you're finally all mine." he says.
"I know. It's been a long time coming, hasn't it?" she responds.
"It has."
Jake puts his lips on her neck. She very much enjoys the feeling. He turns her around to give her a passionate kiss.
As Victoria kisses Austin, the memory of her first kiss with him came flooding back, but as soon as she tasted Eliana's favorite cherry vanilla lip balm on his lips, she was immediately brought back to seeing them kiss at the club, & was just absolutely disgusted.
They finished out the scene and Vic immediately wipes at her lips.
"What? Didn't like the kiss?" Austin asks.
"No, I didn't. I could literally taste Eliana on your lips. Disgusting." Victoria replies.
"Now, how do you know what her lips taste like?" Austin asks.
"Because I know she uses the cherry vanilla lip balm 24/7."
"You don't like it? I think it tastes good."
"I used to, but not anymore."
Victoria walked off set and went to her trailer for a costume change to finish up the last of the days work.
By the time the work day was done, Vic & Mila had to rush home so Vic could get ready for her date.
"What are you wearing tonight?" Mila asks as they walk through the apartment door.
"I'm thinking my black mom jeans with that burgundy cropped tube top, with my white sneakers. Of course I'll accessorize with some gold jewelry."
"Are you going somewhere super fancy?"
"No, it's like in between. Not too fancy, not too casual."
"Gotcha. Good thing your hair is already done."
"Right? I just have to touch up my makeup & get changed."
Vic rushed into her bedroom and quickly got ready. There was a knock on the door right at 7 sharp.
"Hi!" Victoria says, answering the door for Ashton.
"Hey! How are you?" he asks.
"Im good. How are you?"
"Im great! Ready to go?"
"Yes, definitely!"
Vic & Ash headed out to the restaurant, and got seated right away as Ashton made a reservation.
"How was work today?" he asked.
Victoria stuck out her tongue in a disgusted matter. "Honestly, so gross."
"How so?"
"Well, started the day with Eli & Austin making out a craft services first thing in the morning, then I had to kiss Austin all day after he'd be making out with her."
"Yeah, that is gross."
"Mhm. I could taste her lip balm on his lips. I couldn't deal."
"That cherry vanilla shit?"
"Yep."
"It was good at first, but it got tiring."
"I bet. She's literally worn it every day since we were five. It's fucking lip smackers."
"They still make that??"
"Apparently."
"Damn. My sister had so many of those."
"I did too. Id always get some whenever we came to America. They didn't have them in New Zealand."
"That's how you & Eliana met right? When her family went on vacation there?"
"Yeah. Then every year, we'd switch off. Every year for like 8 years? Something like that."
"That's crazy. It still just boggles my mind on what happened. And I feel so bad that you go to work everyday with that constant reminder of that just because they're always there."
"I know, and thank you. I really hope one day I won't ever have to see them again. I'm just gonna get through this movie, and when it's coming out I'll do the press and such, but after that, good fucking bye to the both of them."
"They probably won't even be together by the time the movie comes out."
"Probably not."
"Really wish I would have checked out her track record first before getting serious with her."
"Yeaaaah. She really did cheat on every single guy so it's just bound to happen to Austin."
"Honestly, let it. You tried telling him, so."
"Seriously. Oh, and he was late to set today because he was too busy fucking her in his trailer."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It was so annoying. The director and head producer is going to have a talk with him. If they don't see change, they're not going to allow Eliana on set."
"They shouldn't be allowing her at all."
"I know. Tell me about it."
The two placed their order when the waitress stopped by their table, then continued talking.
"How was tour life?" Vic asks him.
"It was great! I'm sad it's over but it is nice being on break now."
"I get that. You really put on an amazing show, Ash."
"Thank you." he smiles. "It means a lot."
"Do you have an idea of when the next album will be out?"
"Hoping for next summer, then tour again in the fall."
"That'd be cool. Release some nice summer jams."
"Exactly. So, I've always wondered, do you like living here or in New Zealand better?"
"Def New Zealand. It's my home, ya know? LA is great, but NZ is where it's at."
"You'll have to take me sometime?"
"Oh, of course. Id love too. It's definitely my favorite place in the whole world. I'm planning on going back after the movie is done. After all this shit that's happened, I've wanted nothing more than to be home & to see my mom."
"I bet. Your dad passed away right?"
"Um, yeah. He did."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"Thanks. I'm not too keen on talking about it until I'm really comfortable with someone. I regret telling Austin, but we just bonded over the fact that we both lost a parent at a young age. But that's all down the drain now."
"Well, whenever you are ready, I'm here."
"Thank you, Ash. Really. So many guys would try and pry every little detail out of me about my life."
"I would never. I respect your space."
"Thanks. I appreciate it."
They finished up at the restaurant & made their way outside.
"Hey, wanna hit up Dave & Busters across the street? Play some games? Get some drinks?" Ashton asks.
"Sure, Id love that." Vic smiles.
They head across the street and grab a drink before playing some games.
Of course, they hit up Victoria's favorite, air hockey.
"Will you stop getting goals??" Ashton complained with a chuckle.
"Sorry, can't help it. I've always been good at this game." Vic shrugs her shoulders before knocking the puck in for another point.
Then they moved onto the skeeball.
"This one's your game, huh? Look at those points your racking in." Victoria says to him.
"Usually I don't do this good, but somehow I keep hitting the higher ones."
"All I'm getting are 50s, but that's normal for me."
They make their way around, playing more games and sipping on drinks. Vic is definitely feeling the alcohol.
They find the game where all you do is shoot some basketballs into a hoop.
"Shit, I'm sucking so bad at this." Vic says.
"Here, let me help you."
Ashton gets behind her and places his hands on her arms, helping her aim.
"Alright, try that." he says.
Victoria throws the ball, and finally makes a basket. She looks back at him, smiling. "Thanks."
"No problem."
They stare into each others eyes for a moment before they go in for a kiss.
"That was the best kiss I had all day." Vic says.
"I'm glad. Wanna get out of here?" Ash asks.
"Yeah. Let's."
They make their way to his house.
As soon as they're both inside, they can't manage to keep their hands off each other.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asks.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Ashton & Victoria makeout as they make their way to the bedroom.
They quickly undress themselves before getting onto the bed.
Ashton gets on top. He works his hand on her clit as his lips work on her neck.
"Oh, god. That feels so good." Victoria moans out.
Ashton keeps doing his thing until he makes Vic orgasm. Once she releases herself, Ash works himself inside her now soaking wet center.
His lips are still on his neck as he thrusts into her. Her hands are all up in his hair, tugging at his ends.
It's not long until they both release themselves & go in for round two.
The next morning
Victoria is woken up by her phone being blown up by Mila.
"Hello?" she answers half asleep.
"Um, where are you? We have to be on set in like 20 minutes."
"Oh shit. I'm sorry. I stayed at Ashton's last night. Um, can you just bring me a change of clothes and I'll meet you there?"
"Yeah. Do you just want leggings and a t-shirt?"
"Yeah, and a bra & clean panties."
"Got it. I'll see you soon."
"Thank you, love you."
"Love you too."
Vic hangs up the phone. "Shit."
She quickly gets out of bed.
"Hey, you good?" Ashton asks her as he's still in bed.
"I have to be on set in 20 minutes."
"Oh, fuck. You want me to give you a ride?"
"Please, if you don't mind. Who knows how long Uber will take."
"Of course. Im sorry, I should have taken you home last night."
"It's fine. Don't worry about it."
Vic quickly got dressed in last nights clothes & Ash threw on sweats and a t-shirt before heading off to the studio.
"Hey, thanks for last night. I really had fun." Ashton tells her as he's dropping her off.
"I had fun too." she kissed him before she got out of the car. "Thanks for ride. I'll text you."
"Sounds good."
Victoria rushed to her trailer and quickly got ready, then headed to hair and makeup.
"So, you stayed with Ash last night?" Mila asks her, as they're both getting their  hair done.
"Yeah, I did."
"Did you do it?"
"Oh, yeah."
"Nice."
The girls high five & continue to chat.
Once they were ready, they went out to craft services.
"Hey, uh, is there a Victoria Williams here?" a man, asks, holding a vase of red roses.
"Um, yes. That's me." Vic says.
"These are for you. Have a good day." the man hands her the flowers.
"Thank you."
Victoria reads the note that came with the flowers. "I had a really great time last night. Maybe we can do that again soon? - Love, Ashton xx" she puts the card back in the flowers "Aw, that's so sweet."
"Um, did you just say Ashton??" Eliana asks, as she over heard.

Love and Marriage - Chapter 10 (Mature, Minors DNI)
Description:
After a loss in the family uncovers a family secret, Jaleia and her husband Jesse are forced to balance one family crisis after another along with their budding careers and their plans to expand their family. Will the pressure to keep everyone else together ruin their own relationship? Can ruined relationships be fixed before it’s too late?
Chapter 10:
Jesse's POV
I opened the door to our hotel room. I slept on the plane and I was still tired.
"Ooooooh." Diana said walking into the room behind me. We had a two room suite. I turned to Diana.
"Pick whatever room you want, shake out the blankets, and sleep. We got a busy day tomorrow. Or today." I rubbed my face. Diana slept on the plane and now was wide awake, touching everything in the room.
"Di, go to bed, I'm tired."
"Sorry, I'm just so excited. I can't even sleep! We haven't been here in so long. Thanks for bringing me. Oooh, let me take pictures by the window." She ran to the window.
"I'm going to bed, don't do anything crazy. Night." I said.
"Kay, night Jess!" She said
I found the bigger room and collapsed on the bed.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"I miss you already, babe! I couldn't sleep." Jaleia said. I was face timing her before me and Diana left for the day. It was 5AM her time but 8AM in Cali.
"I miss you too, love. I haven't had to go away in a while. "
"I know. I hated it when you lived in L.A."
"Yeah, you kept telling me."
"So what's the schedule like?"
"Today me and Di are hanging out. This week and next I'm working with the new artists. The week after next is when I work with some famous people."
"Sounds fun. I'm going back to sleep. Love you."
"Alright baby, don't over sleep. Love you."
I hung up. I grabbed my wallet and keys and walked out the room. Our suite was nice, it had two rooms, a common area, a bathroom and a small kitchen area. It looked expensive as hell so I was glad that the studio was paying for it. I make decent money but sure as hell not enough to stay here for three weeks. Maybe not even 3 days.
I walked to Di's room and knocked on her door. After the "incident" we've all been more aware of knocking first.
"Di are you done? We gotta go!" I yelled through the door.
"Almost! I just gotta find the right shoes!"
"Well hurry up! We gotta pick up the rental car." I said. Because we were going to be here for a few weeks I got a rental to make it easier to get around. Having lived her before I knew the traffic was going to be shit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Diana had not stopped talking since we left the hotel. It was making my head spin. We had just picked up the rental, and now we were now on our way to see the Hollywood Star Walk of Fame. Diana had been bugging me to take her. And as I predicted we were stuck in traffic.
"And hopefully we have time to go to Universal or Disneyland or world or whatever the one on cali is called. I can't wait to take selfies. What do you-"
"Di."
"I cannot wait so see L.A, like really see it.-"
"Diana."
"I'm just so Excited!!"
"DIANA!"
"What?"
"Just a second of silence, please." I said.
"Sorry." She said.
"Don't be, my head is killing me." I said which wasn't exactly a lie but I felt bad for killing her joy.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We got back to the hotel at midnight. Diana made me feel old. She dragged me everywhere on the Hollywood Stars to find her favorite stars. My feet and back hurt. I was done.
My phone rang and I groaned. I had spread out on the couch in the room while Di took a shower. I looked at the screen. Jaleia was face timing me. I answered.
"Hey Jess!" Jaleia said. She looked like she was in our bed.
"Hey bae." I said, trying to keep my eyes open.
"Awww, you look tired, how was your day? Diana drag you around?"
"Hell yeah! We went to the Hollywood Walk of fame. When I tell you I'm tired. I'm done! It was fun but damn."
"Aww, you're a good older bro. You look so tired. It's adorable."
"Woman, I am not adorable. I'm a man. I'm not adorable. "
"Yes you are! So cute when you're tired. I'll let you get some rest, make sure you call me. I love you."
"I promise I'll talk more tomorrow. I love you, bae. Bye."
"Bye."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The first few days in the studio were great. They knew what they wanted, what sound they were going for and they were already talented in music. There were three artists this week, Alana who was looking for a pop sound, Smoke R&B, Jazmyne soul. We worked on about three tracks in for each of them. When I'm in L.A it's a much bigger song writing and producing team. I got my man Dre, best friend since NYU, who produces, JD, Dre, Mandy all produce, and Mark, Green, and J.T and I all write. We do melodies and help produce as well but mostly we do the lyrics. I produce as well but my strength is in the lyrics. It's a lot of noise in the studio with more six people and usually it's hard to work like that but we've been doing it together for years and we're able to cut through all the nice to get the sound it words we need. We usually work in teams to produce an album.
Diana had been having a good time from what I could see hanging around the studio and watching us work. Anytime I could fit in I took her to different places around L.A, mostly places to eat because that's all we had time for. She couldn't get over the fact I used to live here before I got married. It was so hard to move but I had to, Jay couldn't since she was in her residency. But someday we're moving back. I had Diana on lunch duty, so she could get out from the studio for a moment. She picked up our lunch when it was within walking distance. She didn't mind because she once ran into Luke James and hasn't stopped talking about it since. So she volunteers to get lunch now.
On Wednesday, everyone decided to go out for lunch. I let Diana go with them since Dre was going and I knew he would look out after her like I would. He's known her since she was seven. I stayed behind to finish a track we were working. It was just me in the studio and I was so into working I didn't hear someone enter.
"Jess! How are you?" Imani Redd walked into the room. She was wearing a bra and those shorts girls wear where their whole ass is out. She hadn't changed much since I had last seen her in person except her hair was now blonde. She still looked good. I got up from my chair.
"Hey Imani." I said.
She laughed and said "You don't have to be so formal. We good. You looking hella nice. You didn't dress like that when we were together." She gave me a tight hug.
"What's up?" I said sitting down again.
"I heard I would be working with you and just wanted to swing by and say hello. I know we didn't leave on the best terms-"
"Fucking understatement of century there." I said, crossing my arms.
"But I wanted to make sure we were cool and that you knew how very sorry I am for doing that to you. You didn't deserve that. I loved you, I really did. I hate that I screwed it up, especially for a guy that wasn't even worth it. Are we good?" She said walking toward my chair. She bent down in front of my chair, putting her hands on the armrests of the chair. I leaned back to get her breasts out my face.
"Cause if we're not, I'm sure I can make it up to you." She whispered in my ear. I started to sweat.
"Um, we're good, what's in the past is in the past, there's no need to bring ANY of it back up. I'm actually glad what happened, happened, I wouldn't have met my WIFE if it hadn't." I said, rolling my chair back. She turned around and like I figured, almost her entire ass was out. As she bent down in front of me to pick some imaginary object off the floor, I stared at the ceiling.
"That's too bad," she said, now standing over my legs, putting her hand on my shoulder. "Cause I love to make a man happy and I've only gotten better. Congrats on getting married, Jess. I'll see you later. And please let me know if you need anything." She slid her hand down my chest slightly brushing my crotch. Her hips swayed as she walked out the room. I let out the breath I was holding in. I wasn't scheduled to work with her until the last week I was here but I could already tell she was going to be a problem.
>>>>>>>>
It was past 2AM in the morning as we sat and talked in the studio. Diana had passed out on the couch. All the artists had gone home and it was just Dre, Green, J.D and me left still trying to finish some tracks. Admittedly we stopped working a while ago.
"So you used to bag Imani?" Green said. Green was a 35 year old white guy who slept with any girl who would sleep with him. He's been divorced five times, all for the same reason - infidelity. He was a terrible partner but a great somgwriter.
"I used to date her, yes."
"How was she?" Green asked. Green was also a pothead, and had a few edibles earlier. He was still as vile sober as he was high. I wouldn't let him eat them anywhere near the studio, since I had Diana with me. Usually I didn't care but she was staring to get better and she wasn't going to pick up bad habit now.
"You know I don't talk about women like that. Especially since I'm married. " I said.
"Hmm. Yeah you let your wife whip you. But I would love to get that Imani in the sack. She got it all."
"I'm not whipped." They all gave me a look.
"Y'all think I'm whipped? Trippin."
"Nah, man I hate to say it, but she got you wrapped around her finger. Ain't nothing wrong, that's your girl. But hell yeah you whipped." Dre said.
"I'm not fucking whipped."
"I bet you had to beg her to come here. Especially once she found out about Imani. " J.D said.
"We talked about it but I ain't got to beg for shit!"
"Yeah, okay man." J.D said.
"I'm not whipped!"
"What happened between you and Imani anyway?" J.D asked.
"She did him dirty as hell. Played his ass." Dre said.
"We were engaged and she was cheating on me for months. I only found out because I walked in on her with another guy."
"Damn. She really had you going."
"He really acting like she wasn't shady before that though." Dre said.
"How was I supposed to know?"
"This nigga really gon ask that? She used to "go away" for the weekend and have "late night recording sessions" and never could show him a demo. You know that this nigga right here wrote like seven songs for her? Almost her whole first damn album. She played the hell out of you. I even told your stupid ass that she was doing you wrong. And you ain't want to hear it." Dre said.
"I was young and in love." I said. When he put it like that I did sound stupid for not knowing she was using me.
"More like young and dumb as hell!" J.D said. They all laughed.
"And you had the nerve to be all depressed afterwards, acting like you ain't know she was no good. I got sick of your Mopey ass. I guess the sex was that good. But I got to say you married well." Dre said.
"I did, didn't I? Well it's not like you had it together either. Remember that girl who tried to claim that you were her deadbeat baby daddy?" I said.
"Oooooohhhhh. She was a fucking nightmare. Almost ruined my relationship." Dre said. J.D's jaw dropped. We had met J.D after we got out of college.
"Followed him around campus everywhere. Dressed the kid just like him. You've dated some crazy ones, don't play me like that!" I said.
"Look, I would cheat on my girlfriend just to hit that ass. Imani got that ass." Green said.
"We know." We all said at once.
"I would never cheat. My girl would kill me if she ever found out." J.D said.
"I never want to lose my wife again. Not again. " Dre said.
"You cheated on Eva?"
"Before we got married, we were engaged. Wasn't worth it, it was the worst mistake I ever made. I would never do that again. And Jess is too whipped to even think about cheating. " Dre said.
"Fuck you... But you right about that." I said as they laughed.
"I know what it's like to be cheated on, so I would never do that her." I said.
"But you got to admit that Imani is fine. You would hit that again if you were single. "
"I'm happily married."
"He didn't say no."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"So what are you trying to say with the hook because it's really confusing. Is the relationship worth saying or not?" I said to Jazmyne. We were finishing up one of her songs and the chorus just didn't flow right.
"What I'm trying to say is I don't know what I want from the relationship. I guess I could make that more clear."
"Yeah, I really want that point driven home in the chorus. You're stuck between two feelings and you just want something worth fighting for."
"Oh my God, that's it!"
"Let's try it." I picked up my guitar and started to strum the melody.
Baby I'm stuck in the middle,
Of this one single issue
Don't know what I'm saying
And you seem to think I'm playing
Not sure if I don't want your love
Cause it feels like it's from above
I'm sick of being ignored
I just want a love worth fighting for
I just want a love worth fighting for
Jazmyne sang.
"I love that! I like the switched melody, and I love that new line. You are a freaking genius!"
"Nah, you did all the work. You ready to lay the vocals down for real?" I said.
"Yes!" She went into the recording booth, a couple of takes on the chorus and she was done.
"How does it feel to have all of the tracks to your first album ?"
"I'm so freaking excited! This shit was lit. So what happens next?"
"You're going to pick your favorites, and the ones you don't want on the album. You'll play it for some executives on the label and they'll give you feedback, you skim the tracklist and songs down more, hopefully get it approved. And then work on the cover art. They'll give you a date and some promo, and your album will be released. There's a bunch of other bull in between that but that's really it."
"I'm so excited. Wow that's a lot. But I'm so happy with everything, thanks for your help. Can I listen to them all?"
"Sure, they'll be unfinished of course."
"Yeah, it's fine. Thanks." I handed her some headphones.
Alana was almost done with her album. Jazmyne was done with hers. Smoke however, had a lot more to be done.
Usually writing an album takes several months and it did for them. We were just here to polish the songs they had, write any ones they were missing, and really curate the style they were trying to have and finish the demo album.
It was my second week in L.A and it had been great so far. Last weekend I took Diana to Disneyland and we had a great time. She was such a good sport about being cooped up in a studio for so long I really wanted to do something special. It was Friday night and it was going to be another night spent at the studio.
My phone started vibrating on the control panel. I put down my guitar and looked at screen. Jaleia's face lit up. I answered, propped my phone up nearby and started to strum my guitar lightly.
"Hey Jess!"
"Hey Love, what's up?"
"I miss you. I'm sorry I keep saying it and calling you and-"
"I never get tired of you. Call me anytime."
"How's Di?"
"She's having fun, I'm sure she'll tell you allllllllll about it when we get home."
"I feel kinda stupid."
"Why?"
"I cried cause I missed you so much. The house is a mess, I've been late so much lately. I can't wait for you to come back."
"Aww, I'm sorry baby. It's only one more week. I miss you too."
"I know."
"Did you see all the organization tips I left you? I know it's hard for you to adjust your schedule suddenly. "
"One of the worst parts of ADHD I guess. Your wife's a mess. What's new?"
"Jay, you're not a mess, don't talk like that. What you up to tonight? You look cute." She had a low cut silky night shirt on.
"Um, I am having a sleepover with the girls. I finally convinced everyone. A quiet girls night. Movies, wine, snacks and shit. Should be fun. I'm really lonely, please come home soon."
"I'll be home real soon, alright."
"Oh and Jess? I found your present. And it's beautiful. I'm wearing it now. I always wanted a tennis bracelet! Now I get to brag about how great you are. When you get home, you will get the biggest thank you ever. Whatever you want. Trust me."
"I knew you'd like it. And I'm looking forward to that thank you."
"I have a little sneak peak of something I bought for you." She said and pulled her shorts down a little so I could see the top of her lace panties.
"You like these?" She said pulling her shorts back up.
"Hell yeah, you look sexy. I'm still on the studio Jay, so I gotta call you back. I love you, Jay?"
"Yeah?"
"I really miss you too. You're amazing and I love you! Have fun tonight."
"Love you too Jess! I'll talk to you later!"
