*May 1979*
(Y/N) and Andy flew back to New York for a few days to spend time with Karen. Karen has half of her album finished and wants (Y/N)'s opinion.
(Y/N)'s POV:
After the brothers Gibb finished up rehearsals for the tour, me and Andy decided to fly back to New York.
The Bee Gees start tour later in June, so we have plenty of time to spend time in New York exploring.
Karen has half of her album done. She wants my personal opinion on the songs that have already been mixed and solidified.
Andy and I are deepening our relationship on so many levels. I just hope one day I don't wake up and it's all gone. It's crazy how I was sent back to the past to fix the future.
"Darling? What is on the agenda for today?" Andy asked stepping out from the bathroom brushing his hair.
"Well love, I kind of wanted to go to the Statue of Liberty maybe? Or just walk around in Times Square? I've never really seen New York before," I told Andy as I put on bottom eyeliner.
"We can do that love. Or darling, we can have a picnic in Central Park?" Andy said while sipping some coffee.
"Oh I like that idea better love," I said while putting my makeup away.
"We can buy some lunch from a local shop and take it if you want? We can kind of celebrate our one year together?" Andy curiously asked.
I went and got dressed in a two piece set. It was a blue floral printed bell sleeve top with matching pants. I also wore a pair of white sneakers since we'd be walking a lot.
Before we had our picnic, Karen wanted me to head to the studio with her to check out her songs.
"Ok love. I'm heading out to meet up with Karen to listen to her mixes, I'll be back by noon love," I said as I kissed him as I headed out the door.
"Be safe darling. I love you," Andy said as I closed the door.
*in the studio with Karen*
"Ok this is Lovelines (Y/N). Let me know your thoughts," Karen said while directing Phil to hit play.
The hardest part of this whole situation was having to pretend to react because the songs sound exactly like they did from the future, if that made sense.
I was moving my foot to the beat. This was exciting because I was hearing first mixes of my favorite pieces of Karen's discography.
"This is really beautiful Karen! I love your vocal range on this song," I told her confidently.
"Thanks (Y/N)! That means a lot," Karen told me while giving me a side hug.
"Having your approval was what Karen really wanted," Phil said smiling.
"Karen you are growing up. If they can't see how beautifully orchestrated this album is, that's their loss," I told Karen.
"I didn't think of it that way (Y/N). You are the bestest friend I could ask for," Karen said while giving me another side hug.
One thing I learned about Karen was she needed constant support and reminders that she was good. She could literally sing the phonebook and it would be beautiful.
"You know KC, you could sing a recipe for iced tea and make it sound stunning," I said laughing.
"That's the biggest compliment I've ever gotten," Karen said with a crack in her voice.
"Oh don't cry KC!" I said embracing her in a full hug.
Perhaps I was the sister figure she needed to have to support her.
*back to the picnic with Andy*
Andy's POV:
While (Y/N) was out with Karen, I got everything ready. I found out that Central Park has carriage rides so I booked us a carriage ride to make the picnic more romantic.
"Ello love your back!" I said excitedly to her when she walked back into the hotel.
"Hi darling. Sorry to keep you waiting. Karen's album sounds amazing so far," she told me .
I just stared at (Y/N). Knowing she was mine forever made my heart flutter every time.
"What are you staring at?" she giggled .
"Just admiring how beautiful you are love," I said shyly.
"You are too much sometimes," she said while kissing my face.
"Now lets go on that date. We have a carriage waiting outside," I told her while grabbing her hand.
"Carriage?" she asks.
"Yes, I want to make this date memorable darling," I said while escorting her to the elevator outside the hotel door.
