"Okay Zayn, start singing after you hear Drake's note finishing."
"Sounds sick" Zayn said, adjusting his headphones and giving Noah a thumbs up.
Zayn was in the studio with Noah, Drake's main producer and best friend. After the Andy incident, it was pretty clear that he was never going to work with him again and found that Noah was a better fit for him.
He had to go back to Andy's yesterday to get back his demos they had recorded, though. They we're all on a flashdrive that his old friend owned. Andy was more than glad to give it back to him since he's already got a taste of what Zayn's anger is like. It was a very awkward encounter, Zayn looking down the whole time and feeling guilty and Andy stuttering.
But when he was able to get a glimpse of Andy he saw that his ex-best friend still had a deep purple bruise around his eye and swollen cheeks adorned with a lovely shade of red.
Andy also promised to not say anything about the beating Zayn gave him to Liam, and all Zayn could do was nod and then leave.
He couldn't hear Andy even mentioning Liam without wanting to throw up.
In this case, forgiving Liam was easier than forgetting about what happened, and Zayn hated that he was still so affected by it.
"Hey bro? You good?" Noah asked, interrupting his thoughts.
"Yeah, Yeah I'm good man. Just stuck in my head a bit." Zayn said, shaking his head a bit.
"Do you wanna reschedule this? It's cool if you do, Drizzy won't mind."
"Nah, I'm good. Play the track again."
He took a deep breath and waited for his part to start, and when it was finally his time to sing he closed his eyes and let the music take over him.
"Yeah, I can't get enough of you, babe
Bottles open up so you can try and open up for me, baby
M.I.A. in the M.I.A
You do you, girl, the haters gon' hate
Cut them off like you a sensei, girl
Oh, I know you feel what I feel
Breaking you off, it's so real
I can't fake that, babe
My love's locked down and you cuffing it
You're the only one I trust with it
You're the only one that stuck with it"
He remembers when he wrote this the first time he met Drake, and how easily it was for him to write about love songs since Liam means the world to him. Some of the lines from his verse hit him hard with emotions and memories.
One day he'll play these songs for Liam, and he know he'll be very proud of him.
"Excellent Z! All in one take, that was amazing. Your vocals are insane" Noah said happily.
Zayn turned a bit red but said thank you nonetheless, happy to have finally recorded the song.
The chorus was going to be his and Drake's voices singing together, and it sounded amazing in his opinion. He can't wait for his career to take off after it.
He also can't wait to be successful at last and can't wait to finally marry Liam, since the thought still weighs heavy on his mind. He's still got the ring, and he carries it with him everywhere.
Soon he thinks, and can't wait til it happens.
"Alright bro, ready to finally record your first single?"
"Let's do this shit!" Zayn said excitedly.
The beat started and Zayn felt his heart beating wildly.
This song captured the tough times he goes through in his relationship, but at the end of the day he would never change anything because he is so in love and shows it however he can – especially in the bedroom.
"Climb on board..."
×××
"Alright Zayn, I think we're done here. I'm gonna take your old demos and remaster them then Drake will tell you when he's got the date ready for your album release." Noah told him, and Zayn felt like he was on cloud nine.
"Thanks man, I really do appreciate all that you're doing for me" Zayn said, walking out of the booth and giving Noah a hug.
"No problem man, pleasure to witness the greatness unfold. I'll let you know if I need you to re-record something but you should be good" Noah said, breaking apart from the hug and saying his goodbyes to Zayn.
Zayn felt serene and content, his dreams finally coming true.
Signed to a label owned by his favorite rapper, being featured on a song that will definitely be successful, having his own solo single and soon having a solo debut album out... Zayn was definitely feeling the blessings that had come his way.
He gathered up his belongings and left the studio, exiting the building and going to his car.
Once he's inside he felt his phone vibrate, and knows he's receiving a call.
He gets his phone out of his pocket and sees it's a call from Lauren, so he answers it happily.
"Hey Lo, what's goin' on?"
"Sup Zen! Mani and I are gonna have a little movie night tomorrow at the house. I told Louis to tag along and he said he would and I think Mani's friend might show up. Wanna come? It'll be fun! Mani's gonna make her famous Tacos and you can't miss it." Lauren said excitedly on the phone.
Zayn chuckled at her rambling and agreed to go, "S.hit I can't miss out on those Tacos this time. Count me in"
"Yay okay, see ya tomorrow at 5. Love you!" She said, and hung up.
Zayn smiled and decided to take the opportunity to tell his friends about the songs he recorded since they didn't know either. Maybe he could play something for them...
He also decided that he was going to bring Liam with him, because his silly feud with Lauren has got to end. He just wants the most important people in his life to get along, which would make things easier for him.
He wasn't going to tell Lauren though and definitely wasn't going to tell Liam about his plan to reunite them together.
Should be fun.
