"Again. From the top" called Tommy through the intercom hurriedly before fixing his attention back on his laptop. Somehow he was mixing, listening, and producing all at the same time in a fashion that even astonished him.
Tommy glanced up at the clock mounted on the wall, he really wanted to be out of here in half an hour. Tommy looked back down at the screen and flipped on a new track for Karen. The music started to pound through the system and Karen's voice fell into the mix as Tommy started to mentally block it all out.
"They call you sexy..." drifted Karen's voice in the background.
"What's up Baby" echoed the backing.
Tommy rubbed his forehead and tried not to focus on the horrible pop music he was producing. It was like producing TV theme songs…they could ruin your career in an instant if they weren't considered the next big thing. Tommy shook his head and then slid tracks around on his computer…it wasn't time to worry about all that yet.
"Bzzzz" buzzed Tommy's cell phone on the sound board.
Tommy glanced up at his haphazardly thrown phone and reached across to grab it. Tommy glanced at the screen and flipped it open; pressing it to his ear instantly.
"Hello?" asked Tommy, holding the phone between his shoulder and ear so that he could still use both hands on the laptop.
"Hey babe" came Jude's happy voice from the other end.
"Hey yourself" smirked Tommy, leaning over the sound board and fixing Karen's feeds.
"How has your day been?" asked Jude.
"Better if you were the one in the studio" grinned Tommy.
"Well" laughed Jude "I already knew that…"
"But really" waved off Tommy, sitting down in his chair "it's been going fine".
"So I can still expect to see you at dinner?" asked Jude.
"Wouldn't miss it babe" sighed Tommy while switching ears.
"Okay well Sadie and I are just going to head straight over to the house and I'll see you in what…half an hour or so?" asked Jude.
"I'll do my best" sighed Tommy "Bye Jude".
"Love you" breathed Jude from the other end.
"Love you too" Tommy sighed and then flipped his phone closed. Tommy looked up through the dividing window and Karen stared him in the eyes. Tommy shook his head clear and looked away…he wasn't getting into this today. But then Karen's voice drifted out and so did the backing.
"How was that?" came Karen's voice through the system.
Tommy looked up at her standing in the recording booth with her hip sticking out to one side, one hand draped delicately on her upward hip, and the other hanging loosely at her side. Everything was a calculated move, nothing was left to chance…it just was. It just was…perfect.
"Take ten" Tommy sighed through the mic emotionlessly.
Karen kept her eyes locked on Tommy a moment longer before strutting to the door and entering the sound booth. Tommy leaned over his laptop so that eye contact didn't even occur. But all the same as Karen swept by him he could feel her presence. The way her hips swayed in a provocative manner. The way her hair floated over her shoulders, and the way that her eyes dug into his back…even from a sideways glance.
The door opened and snapped shut as Karen sauntered out of Studio A and into G-Major's core. Tommy let out an audible breath before focusing on the tracks in front of himself. Half an hour…come on.
