"I think it's going to be the best song I have ever released in a collaboration." Sam says with a smile as I smile too.
"I think the same," I say as he grins, and I find myself smiling looking at his smile. But I quickly remind myself who I am and curse for getting attracted to that smile of his.
"The fans are hella excited for the release," Anna says with a proud face.
"They should be. It's gonna be epic. I mean, a song by two legends and an emotional romantic on top of that? Who is not gonna go crazy??" Tim says with a laugh as everyone in the studio agrees by nodding their heads with smiles.
"Your voices are literally beautiful. And hearing your voice in person is like a dream come true, Kay." A staff member says as I smile thankfully and bow my head yet again out of habit.
"After the release of the song tomorrow, you both have to attend Jimmy Fallon's and Ellen's show in the coming days. Anna will let you know everything, Kay. Just be ready to bear me and Sam around with you for a couple of weeks."
I chuckle because that's what they expect from me. I don't find it funny, it's terrifying. It's terrifying that I will have to be with Sam more than ever now. But I have no choice. Darn, my life.
It's raining again. There is something about the rains that gives me peace, and happiness yet extreme sadness. I have always loved rain and admired thunderstorms until that one incident on a rainy day. Until that one incident that made me hate rains more than I loved them. An incident that has got me here today. An incident that changed my life forever. Closing my eyes, I lean my back on the headboard and listen to the sound of raindrops falling slowly and rhythmically on the window glass, producing a comfortable melody that makes me drift to a deep peaceful sleep.
"OMG! OMG! OMG! Kay! KAY!" I hear Anna yelling my name frantically as I get up from the breakfast table, still with the glass of milk in my hand, and look at her who is inside my apartment standing a few feet away from me looking like she has come here after passing a hurricane or tornado. My face is definitely giving the look of 'WTF' cuz she quickly combs her blonde hair through her slender fingers and takes off her long sky-blue trench coat, now only in her white skinny jeans and emerald button-down top.
"KAY!!! THE SONG!" I blink my eyes and stand frozen with the glass still in my right hand as she comes dashing and hugs me tight. "It's a success!! God, it has already topped the charts!! It's a blast!!" She is so excited that she doesn't even notice the milk I have in my hand when she jumps up and down still hugging me. As a result of her hyper self, the milk ends up spilling all over her clothes. She mutters a 'shit' but then smiles anyway.
"Whatever. I am just so happy to feel bad for this spill."
"Smile, you bish!" I do. I smile because I am genuinely happy. I am finally feeling happy cuz I have achieved what I wanted. I succeeded in my goal. Her song is now on the top charts! This is all I ever wanted! I smile widely and am about to hug Anna when I see the milk still dripping from her clothes so I back away and pat her shoulders instead.
"I am really happy."
She smiles and says,
"You should be! The song was already perfect and then the voices of you and Sam, I swear it seems as if the sing was meant for you both." It wasn't. I smile sadly and feel tears in my eyes remembering her, but I don't want to spoil the mood. So, I push my tears back once more and give a smile to avoid any questions I don't have an answer to.
"I think you should get changed now."
