Lucy felt a surge of excitement at Cameron's words. Maybe something was possible between them after all. Today had already been full of unexpected possibilities – meeting Oona, discussing starting a band, and now this encounter with Cameron Jacobson. In that moment, she felt emboldened by the notion that anything could happen.

Deciding to let actions speak louder than words, Lucy moved closer to Cameron, their arms brushing against each other.

"Vodka's here, party people!!!! Wooot!!!" The words echoed through the room, breaking the tension and drawing all eyes to her.

As the realization hit her that she had interrupted a potentially intimate moment, Oona's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. But instead of retreating, she decided to lean into the awkwardness.

With a mischievous glint in her eye, Oona began to sing in a slightly slurred voice, "Lucy on the soooofa with Camerooooon," to the tune of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

She swayed slightly, the vodka starting to take effect as she leaned on the back of the sofa.

Lucy, unable to contain her embarrassment, flashed a sheepish smile at Cameron, her cheeks tinged with pink.

Feeling the warmth of his smile, Lucy found herself relaxing into the moment, the tension easing between them. As she closed her eyes, she felt Cameron's lips press against hers, the gentle touch sending a shiver down her spine.

Meanwhile, Oona, feeling the effects of the alcohol, sank down onto the sofa next to Lucy.



With her eyes closed, she whispered to Cameron, her words slurred with intoxication, "You don't need my authorization to kiss her...." before drifting off into an abstract dream.

In her state, Oona found herself lost in a colorful and abstract world, fueled by creativity and music.



In her mind's eye, she pictured herself as a glam rock star, clad in a miniskirt and black corset, belting out tunes on her bass guitar.



Lucy stood beside her, strumming an electric guitar.



Lost in her creative dream, Oona's imagination soared, fueled by the abstract dreams of glory that danced through her mind.

Meanwhile, Lucy closed her eyes, allowing herself to be swept away by the sensation of Cameron's kiss, her heart fluttering with excitement and anticipation for the possibilities that lay ahead.

Lucy's heart raced with excitement, her mind spinning with a whirlwind of emotions. Cameron's touch was electrifying, sending shivers down her spine. But beneath the surface, a sense of caution stirred within her. While she was undeniably drawn to him, she knew that diving headfirst into a whirlwind romance with a superstar could be risky.

With a quiet determination, Lucy made her decision. "Not the first night," she whispered softly, her lips brushing against his in a tender caress. It was a declaration of her boundaries, a promise to herself to take things slow and savor the journey ahead.

And as they kissed once more, she felt a sense of empowerment in her choice, knowing that she was in control of the story.

Lucy couldn't contain the happiness that bubbled up inside her, a warm glow spreading through her at Cameron's words. While she appreciated the compliments, she couldn't help but feel a hint of suspicion towards men who focused solely on her physical appearance. Offering Cameron a tender smile, she expressed her gratitude for his patience and understanding.

"I appreciate the way you don't rush things," Lucy replied, her voice soft yet confident. "I'd love to see where this story with you leads." After taking a sip of vodka, she turned the conversation towards her aspirations and goals in life, making it clear that she was more than just a "beautiful girl." She wanted someone who saw her for who she truly was and supported her dreams.

With a warm smile, Lucy glanced at Cameron, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I have to work at 9 am," she mentioned casually. "How long will you be staying in Brighton?" She then proposed the idea of meeting for lunch, suggesting he could pick her up at the label around noon.

"That sounds perfect," Lucy replied with a smile, her heart fluttering with anticipation. "You can come to the Head South offices, and I'll be the first face you see at the reception."

As the evening wore on and Lucy checked her smartphone, she realized that it was time for her to get some rest. Tomorrow promised to be a busy day at the label, and she needed to be well-rested to welcome the band Mother of Tigers for their appointment.

Looking over at Oona, who was still fast asleep on the couch, Lucy pondered their sleeping arrangements for the night. With a playful glint in her eye, she turned to Cameron. "So, what do you say we transport Sleeping Beauty here to her bed?" she joked, motioning to Oona. "And as for us, I suppose we could share the couch for the night. What do you think?"

Lucy considered his words for a moment before making a decision. With a nod, she gestured for Cameron to join her on the couch. As she settled down onto the cushions, Cameron followed suit, wrapping his arms around her in a comforting embrace.

As they settled in for the night, Lucy felt a sense of contentment wash over her. In Cameron's arms, she felt safe and at ease

With a soft sigh, Lucy closed her eyes, allowing herself to drift off into dreams.

Lucy groaned in response, her voice thick with sleep. "Nah, it's okay, don't worry, hun," she mumbled, her eyes still closed as she clutched her smartphone, the screen casting a soft glow in the dim light.


Suddenly, Lucy's eyes snapped open, her heart racing as she realized the time. "Fuck it! I'm late!" she exclaimed, panic coursing through her veins. With no time for a shower and only minutes to spare, she scrambled to get ready, cursing the fact that she would have to wear the same clothes as yesterday.

As Lucy rushed around in a frenzy, noises emerged from Oona's bedroom, signaling her awakening. With a yawn, Oona stumbled out of her room, her hair tousled and her eyes bleary with sleep. "Is it Sunday or what?" she mumbled, clearly disoriented by the early hour.

Lucy's frantic movements continued as she shouted to Oona, "Can I use your toothpaste?!" Without waiting for a response, she grabbed the toothpaste and hastily brushed her teeth with her fingers, a makeshift solution in her race against the clock.

With one last frantic kiss to Cameron, Lucy dashed out the door, calling over her shoulder, "See you for lunch!" As she disappeared down the hallway, she shouted back to Oona, "Bye, Oona! We need to talk soon!"

Left standing in the wake of Lucy's whirlwind departure, Oona couldn't help but shake her head in disbelief. "What have I done again?"

Still a bit groggy from her interrupted sleep, Oona chuckled at Cameron's assurance. "Well, I'm not Lucy's mother," she quipped, a playful glint in her eye. "You can cuddle anyone you want." She paused, considering her next question. "So, what are your plans for today?"

Meanwhile, Lucy navigated the bustling streets of Brighton, her mind still reeling from the whirlwind of events from the previous day. Despite the rush and chaos, she managed to arrive at the Head South offices on time, offering friendly greetings to her colleagues as she settled in for the day.

As she went about her duties, Lucy couldn't shake the thoughts swirling in her mind. The unexpected encounters with Oona and Cameron, the proposal to start a band, and the exchanged kisses—all of it had left her questioning what direction her life would take next.

Lost in her thoughts, Lucy was snapped back to reality by the arrival of three girls from the band Mother of Tigers. Derya Çetin, Millie Harkin, and Michaela Ward-Chambers introduced themselves to Lucy, who greeted them with a warm smile. "Hey there, welcome to Head South! It's great to have you here," she said cheerfully, extending her hand to each of them in turn.


(Michaela Ward-Chambers from Mother of Tigers)

"Derya, Millie, Michaela, right? I'm Lucy, I work here at Head South" she continued, her enthusiasm bubbling over. "Ben Rodini, our artistic director, is expecting you. Let me just let him know you've arrived."

She couldn't help but feel lucky to be surrounded by such talented artists. Yet, amidst the excitement of the day, her mind kept drifting back to Cameron, and she couldn't help but anticipate his arrival for lunch.

Suddenly, a text message from Oona lit up her phone screen, and Lucy couldn't help but chuckle at her friend's words. "I had a dream. We had a band. We were dressed like bitches. We need a drummer," the message read.

With a grin, Lucy tapped out a reply to Oona, her excitement growing at the prospect of what the future held for them. "Sounds like a plan! Let's make it happen," she replied, her fingers flying over the keys as she eagerly awaited Cameron's arrival for lunch.

As expected, the first thing that Cameron Saw was Lucy's smile. "Hey!! Glad you're here," She said warmly.

As Cameron and Lucy exchanged pleasantries, the office buzzed with curiosity, with colleagues stealing glances at the unexpected visitor. Some whispered amongst themselves, speculating about Cameron's identity and his presence at the label.

Meanwhile, Ben Rodini, the artistic director, descended from his office accompanied by the members of Mother of Tigers. His gaze immediately fell upon Cameron, and approached Lucy.

"Well, Lucy, can you introduce your friend?" Ben inquired with a smile, his curiosity piqued. Lucy nodded, gesturing towards Cameron. "Mr. Rodini, this is Cameron Jacobson. Cameron, meet Ben Rodini, the artistic director at Head South Records," she introduced.

Ben offered Cameron a polite nod and a handshake, his demeanor relaxed as he exchanged greetings with the famous visitor. "Absolutely delighted to meet you, M. Jacobson. What brings you hère in Brighton?".

After the introductions, Ben turned to the members of Mother of Tigers, who were equally intrigued by Cameron's presence. Michaela Ward-Chambers couldn't resist a playful jab, asking Cameron if he was here to sign a contract, provoking laughter from the group.

Ben then extended an invitation to Cameron and Lucy to join them for lunch. "We'd be delighted to have you both at our table," he said with a smile, leading the way as they made their way to the restaurant nearby.

"Sorry Ben, we have other plans" replied Lucy who caught Ben Rodini off guard He noticed the subtle exchange of glances between her and Cameron. A knowing smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he realized that there might be more than friendship between them.

"Ah, I see," Ben replied with a knowing nod, his smile widening. "Well, in that case, perhaps another time. Or If you prefer, let's have a coffee after lunch? " His tone was warm and inviting.
