Ballad

" What exactly? "

Thinking it would be easier to just show her he started singing the song to her.

"I look and stare so deep in your eyes

I touch you more and more every time... "

Although he was singing a female part, this was just to present the song to her, he was also without all the beat and production work, but just the lyrics and rhythm were catchy enough to show the potential of this song.

As soon as he finished singing she was ready to start talking when he stopped her.

" Wait one moment. You should have noticed but the song is a man and woman feat so as the inspiration to write this song came from your album and in my opinion it is exactly what was missing from it, what do you think about us collaborating on it and it being the first single? of your album. I already have the entire instrumental in mind and I'm sure you saw what I can do on "Yeah". "

His proposal was not exactly what her first thought was, which was to buy the music, but the tone of voice made it clear that it was take it or leave it and that was the only option. She was able to realize that this song was the difference between marking her debut album in history or not and she definitely knew what she wanted.

"That's a deal then, I'll call my team here. Let's start recording right now. " She was completely excited at the prospect of finally finishing her album, it seemed like something magical to her.

" Calm calm. What do you think about celebrating today? I've been going from home to the studio and from the studio to home for a week. I need at least one day of rest and coincidentally there is a good club nearby. How long has it been since you rested too? Since when did you start recording the album perhaps? "

Hearing the invitation, she initially thought about rejecting it, wanting precisely to avoid any possible misunderstanding. However, with each sentence, she was reminded of this exhausting period of recording this album, the constant search for something that she found when she least expected it. A period of a lot of psychological pressure and very little fun and freedom.

It was constant pressure from the record company, pressure from a "competition" between the group members being created by the media and pressure from fans who expected something unique from her. Finally, what was a certainty, based on the until then "secret" relationship that she lived with Jay z, turned into an acceptance for momentary relaxation.

"Alright then, let's celebrate. But it's a completely professional celebration! "She replied, emphasizing the second part of her speech, clearly still having a slight doubt about her decision.

When the two left the Columbia Records headquarters the clock was already past 00:00 a.m. As it hadn't been planned they couldn't prepare, Arthur wore black baggy jeans, a white ribbed tank top, on top a varsity jacket, on top feet a white air force one and finally some gold accessories like small chains and earrings in both ears.

His companion Beyoncé wore a short black dress, somewhat revealing, as well as moderately sized high heels on her feet and some gold accessories.

Her hair, one of the most iconic parts of her image as a singer, was loose, long and wavy, with a golden blonde tone. She looked simply spectacular and Arthur by her side made an incredible pair and didn't lose anything in her appearance.

As the place was a 7-minute walk away, the two preferred to walk.

"Will they not recognize me? "

" What it was? Doesn't Jay Z know you're here? "

"But you can rest assured, the place is dark and there will be so many people inside that I highly doubt they will recognize you inside and I know the security guard, I've been here a few times, he won't ask questions and we'll cut the queue." As soon as he asked the question he paused and looked at her waiting for a reaction, after being disappointed he continued his speech.

The two quickly entered the club, initially got some drinks and chatted and then, as time passed, they went to the dance floor. It's amazing how there's nothing that brings two people closer together to form a friendship than alcohol.

Despite the initially strange atmosphere, at some point during the night the two were already talking as if they were best friends. After sweating on the dance floor they were leaning against the bar drinking a drink.

In the United States and in any country in the world, the law prohibiting the consumption of alcohol by minors was hardly respected. So, here was Arthur, a 16-year-old teenager in a club, which didn't allow minors to enter, drinking alcoholic drinks that he wasn't even old enough to consume, but this was America where anyone with a little money can get an ID false.

Of course, this wasn't just an occurrence in America, it happens anywhere in the world.

They were laughing and talking when they heard an unmistakable beat spreading throughout the room, at the same time the club became a complete mess with screams of joy spreading throughout the space. The dance floor instantly filled up quickly.

The song that the DJ played and brought all this reaction from the audience was "Get low" by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. This was probably the most played song in the clubs of the year and it was completely addictive, with its crunk base.

Listening to the rhythm, even Beyoncé found herself excited and dragged Ace back to the dance floor. The two soon started dancing, they ended up attracting some attention for dancing well and mainly for their beauty, some men arrived to dance with Beyoncé and some women with Ace, however without exception they were all rejected.

One detail, however, that neither of them noticed was that they were dancing closer to each other every moment. Their chemistry was remarkable from miles away. Finally, Arthur took the initiative and placed his hand on her waist, making them dance close to each other, twisting their bodies to the sound of a song with somewhat suggestive lyrics, they just followed the rhythm. To anyone looking, it seemed like they were both recording a video and they quickly became the stars of the place, they had a dance with strong sexual appeal that caught the public's eye. The two changed positions as they danced and finally Beyoncé's thin waist twisted while her back was pressed against Arthur's chest.

As if to prevent this show from continuing and one of the two from doing something they might regret, the song ended.

At that moment, as if in a moment of sobriety she detached herself from her dance partner's body and made her way towards the exit.
