There I Go Again

Chapter 48

"Stacceeey....! Hi!" Kassieexclaimed walking up to a big circular desk in a swanky Los Angelesoffice.

"Hey, there, Kassie! They're inthe back..." Stacey answered.

"Oh, thanks. I don't know what Iwould do without you."

"Probably get lost..." shelaughed.

"Yeah. Most likely." Kassieanswered headed in the direction Stacey was pointing. She took a deepbreath peeking into the window to the studio Bruno, Phil and ahandful of others were in. Bruno caught her spying on them and made aface through the window. She opened the door knowing that it was okayto go in.

"Hiiiiiii...." she said loudlythrowing her Coach purse on the couch next to someone she didn'tknow throwing Bruno a jacket. "You left that. I knew you'd wantit."

"Oh. Thanks." he smiled. "Come'ere...." he said patting the open chair off to the side. "Listento this..."

"Is it done?" she asked him.

"No. Not yet. But almost. I want youto tell me what to do next." he looked at her.

"But why can't they tell you whatto do next?" she asked looking at the other producers.

"Because they suck." he laughed.

"Oh. Sorry to hear that." she saidmoving in close Bruno's chair.

He pressed the button starting to movehis head humming the lyrics. After about a minute and a half of thesong he stopped the track.

"Hmmmmm?" Phil asked her.

"I get it. It's sweet. "

"But I don't know what to saybefore the all over the worrlllddd...part. What he have is dumb."

"Beautiful." Kassie said matter–of- factly. Bruno started to sing it along with the other personshe hadn't been introduced to.

"No no...that's how it..."Kassie explained. "It's beaut-iful not beau-ti-ful..." shesaid.

"No, I get it...." Bruno sangagain.

"Yes. That's it." Kassieanswered. Bruno hugged her grabbing a headset to go record the song.She introduced herself to the other person singing with him. She hadheard Bruno talk about him, but since they weren't on the best ofterms, still, she hadn't met him like she had met the people heworked with in the past. Bruno motioned for Phil to start playing thetrack as he started to sing. Kassie stared at him through the window.Holy shit. I'm going tolose ten bucks. He's so hot.

Phil hit the back of Kassie's headas she continued to stare. She rubbed it making a sad face. "Thathurt."

"Stop staring. "

"I'm just so pretty the wholeworld stops and stares at me, dude." Bruno said looking at Kassie abit confused.

"You're staying so I can followyou home, right, Kittie?" he asked her. She yawned at his question.

"Yeah."

After they played around with thetrack some more she started to get bored. She stretched out on thecouch trying to get comfortable falling asleep to their voices. Afterwhat seemed to be a few minutes she felt something wet against hercheek. She squinted her eyes opening them seeing Bruno squeezed onthe couch next to her. "What are you doing?" she asked him.

"Waking you up. We're done. Comeon..." he said taking her hand lifting her up from the couch.Everyone else was gone. It was just the two of them. She was tootired to do anything but just follow his hand out the door. He didn'tsay anything to her holding her hand gently.

"Oh, shit. It's really cold..."she shivered as they walked through the empty parking lot.

"Here..." he responded wrappingthe jacket she had brought him around her shoulders rubbing her arms.

"Thank you..." she said reachingher car.

"Don't get me lost, Kassandra..."he said to her as she opened her car.

"I won't B." she told himsmiling.

Kassie pulled her car into the longdriveway she shared with Amy hearing Bruno's bass behind her.Before getting out of the car she held on to his jacket smelling it.Shit. That's stupid. Shethought to herself.

"Come on B..." she said unlockingthe door.

"Kass...." Bruno stopped her asshe started to walk up the stairs. She flipped around to see himlooking her up and down.

"Oh...here..." she said walkingdown the few steps handing it to him. He took the jacket, but alsoheld on to her hand looking at her in a way that made her blush."Stop." she said. "No. We...." she was interrupted by Brunoputting his hand on her cheek leaning in to kiss her. She pulled awayfrom him to stop.

"But Kassandra..." he said walkingtoward her. "I love you...I love you so much..." he told herleaning in to kiss her again. I'mten dollars richer, bitch.
