April 17, 2020 week 6 of quarantine
You have been reading scripts for the last two weeks and so far you haven't found one that catches your attention. All of them are boring and dull. You have done just one audition and you aren't even sure you'll get it. So for the past two days you have been wondering about the idea of writing your own movie. So that day you order three different screenwriting books, make a watchlist on Youtube and you take out some of your old scripts. The ones you consider are the best ones. At noon exactly you close your computer ready to start hearing Florence's voice any minute now. Just as the last couple of weeks she started playing her guitar and humming, this time a different melody. 
You have been in lockdown for almost two months now and Florence has been working in the living room and you know she deserves better. You decide you have had enough work that day and exit the room. 
"Hey Florence, I'm going out. I'll be back soon." you say grabbing your keys and exiting the house, not even waiting to hear Flo's answer. You get into your car and drive to Ikea. Luckily for you it is open. You park your car and enter the store. You walk around the halls looking for desks until you finally reach that aile. There are so many options, some of them are big and simple and others are big and have many amenities. After looking through all the options you finally agree on one of them and decide to take that one. You go looking for help when this guy approaches you asking if you need help.
"Yes, actually I want to take this desk." you say pointing to the big box in front of you.
"That's great, will that be all?" he asks and you nod.
"Yeah a chair actually." you say smiling at him but quickly realizing it's useless since the mask is covering half of your face.
"If you want I can take this to check out while you look for the chair." he kindly suggests.
"That would be great actually, thank you." you say and walk away looking for a chair.
You found a perfect chair and are in line so you can pay when a girl who you guess must be around 20 approaches you.
"Hi, sorry to bother you. It's just that I'm a big fan and I was wondering if we could take a picture?" she asks you, her voice shaking a little bit. You smile to yourself before agreeing.
"Yeah of course we can." you tell her and she squeals in excitement. She stands next to you before snapping the picture. 
"Thank you so much Y/n." she says putting her phone away.
"Yeah of course." you say happily to her, you have missed your fans.
"Are you doing okay?" she asks you.
"Yeah I am thanks, I'm quarantining with a friend so that makes this a little bit more bearable." you tell her, "how about you?"
"Oh same, I'm with my two roommates so we help each other out.
You talk to the girl who's name you learned was Maria for a few more minutes before it was your turn to pay. After paying the same guy from earlier helped you load the desk and chair into your car. You thanked him and drove back to your house. 
Luckily for you Florence is nowhere to be seen when you get back so you quickly take everything upstairs into a guest bedroom. You walk towards Florence's room and hear the shower running. You enter the room and hear she is singing one of her brother's songs. You smile at yourself before going out of the room.
Ever since you saw Florence play the guitar on your couch not so long your stomach flips a bit when you see her, she is constantly on your mind and even though you live together you want to spend every waking moment with her. You have no idea what it is. Probably the fact that your friendship has become even stronger since lockdown started. You have also noticed how beautiful she is and how gorgeous she looks when she does the most simple things like cook, clean, read, watch T.V or anything really. You have catched yourself constantly looking at her.
