Night walk

Arthur was taken by surprise, but quickly followed her, but didn't stop her inside the club, thinking that maybe that would be enough for today. In no way did he want to stop there, but he respected her wishes as well.

So after leaving the club he walked a few seconds behind her until he finally grabbed one of her arms, making her stop.

" I'm sorry. " He snapped just as promptly as she turned around looking at him with eyes full of tears, despite them not flowing.

The apology caught her completely off guard and made her stay silent looking at him, finally Ace continued.

"I don't need to be a genius to figure out that you and Jay Z are together, I still kept teasing you about it and asked you to a club. Also, I understand that at the club we were just dancing. We are just friends. Treat it as if we were rehearsing to record a music video. But just let me drop you off at home, okay? It's early morning already. "

He said all of this in the most sincere tone he could muster.

" Follow me. "

She looked at him, turned and continued her walk back home with Ace following her silently. A little after resuming her walk she calmed down, wiped her tears and began to speak.

" I forgive you. I wanted to apologize too. I think I had a very exaggerated reaction too, at the end of it all we didn't do anything. "

She said those last words perhaps more to convince herself than anything else. Soon after, she started the conversation showing that she was back to her normal mood.

" I'm glad we figured it out, we have approximately a 30-minute walk to my hotel and I doubt we'll find any taxis yet. Plus, I would be scared to go this route alone and I would hate having to go from here to there without talking. "

The two quickly returned to their previous good terms and the previously long path seemed short with their jokes and laughter.

So, almost at 5:00 a.m. the two arrived at her hotel. As it was a famous hotel, even at that time there was a taxi parked in front of it that Arthur used to return home after saying goodbye and exchanging phone numbers with her.

After sleeping until 2:00 p.m. he woke up, ate the food his mother had left for him before leaving for work and went out to do some exercise.

At 4pm he arrived home, got ready and went out to meet José at the Columbia Records headquarters.

As soon as he arrived at the company he found José waiting for him in the hall. During this week working together Arthur was very pleased with José's professionalism. He had been in the music industry for about 10 years and although he hadn't grown much, he definitely learned a lot.

José knew a lot of people and knew a lot of things, in addition he and Arthur got along very well, perhaps because they both had Latin ancestry, he had a very calm and extroverted temperament.

However, even in these 10 years he has not grown much in the industry and it would be difficult for him to do so in the near future.

The two walked towards the Studio that Ace had been recording while they were talking and quickly arrived. Arthur went to the computer, played the music and turned the chair to look at José who had sat on the sofa in the living room.

As quickly as the music began, the Puerto Rican found himself immersed in it. The crunk beat resonating throughout the room in a wonderful rhythm, it was too stimulating. Soon his head was swaying to the rhythm of the music.

After 4 minutes, the beat stopped through the speakers and José quickly responded to the sound.

" FUCK. You had a hit Ace, that was amazing. I thought you were going to do something like gangsta rap, I never expected you to do something like that or sing and produce so well. Is this really your first time in a studio? " His body language coupled with his words showed how excited he was.

Arthur soon realized how excited he was about the song and knew the PD contract was secure.
