Danny's POV
For once I actually woke up early without the help of an alarm. I noticed Lauren was still asleep and I really didn't wanna move in case she woke up, but I had to get up by now since I had a lot on my schedule today. Luckily she had rolled down from almost sleeping on top of me and was now lying beside me looking gorgeous as always. Her arm was still draped across my stomach. I carefully lifted it as I slipped fast and quietly out of bed. I opened my wardrobe and picked out some clothes and walked out of the room to take a shower in the spare bathroom as I didn't wanna wake up Lauren. Only minutes later I was showered, dressed and almost ready to go. Not wanting to worry Lauren by just leaving without saying anything or let her know that I've left I took a piece of paper and wrote her a message.
Morning Laurs x
I'll be back later tonight...
Love u X
I placed the note on my empty pillow and carefully placed a kiss on her forehead. She stirred a bit, but luckily she didn't wake up. It was still very early and she needed the sleep, yesterday was a hard day on her. Having visitors for that long and then being kept awake for some time after getting to bed wasn't really the best combination for her.
I tip toed out of the room again and closed the door carefully behind me and exited the apartment. I had already made a taxi reservation so it was waiting outside the building. As I stepped out the cold morning air hit me. It was July, but still mornings could be cold here sometimes, when there wasn't a heat wave of some kind which we rarely had. Ireland wasn't exactly famous for hot and sunny weather, more just the opposite.
'Going to the studios near Temple Bar.' I told the driver as I got in the taxi. He nodded and took off. After getting together with Lauren I've also started looking out the windows. Normally I would talk a lot trying to make the journey less awkward, but usually Lauren did this which meant I had to be quiet not to disturb her thoughts. So I just started doing the same and I actually found it calming, just like taking pictures.
10 minutes later I was walking through the doors to the studio checking my watch. It was 07:05 by now. As usual I was late, we were supposed to meet at 7.
'Yer late Danny, the others are waiting for ye!' The girl in the reception said when I passed her.
'Yeah I know, thanks for letting me know.' I said walking even faster to the elevator and pressed the button. I took the elevator to the 3rd floor and walked into the studio we had rented here in Dublin for a few days before we were heading to London for more recording.
'Finally, there ye are.' Glen said when I walked through the door and sat down on the black leather couch behind the mixing table.
'Late as usual Dan.' Mark said.
'Sorry lads...' I said taking of my jacket and beanie. I put my glasses on and found my notepad where I had some lyrics written down. We read through them and added some guitar and piano to them first before adding the drums at last. This was how we spent hours each day. Writing songs, writing melodies, then putting it all together. Lastly we would record and save them. By now we had 16 songs recorded for the new album and we had a few more to record as well before choosing around 10-12 songs we wanted for our album.
'So how did it go with Lauren after the surprise thing yesterday?' Mark asked smirking. I know where this is going.
'Good. She was tired though, and I understand her. So we just watched some TV and went to bed.'
'And?? What else?' Mark asked again.
'No Mark, just no. We didn't use yer present if that's what yer asking.'
