Chapter 6

The Interview

I finally reach the BBC building after a tenuous journey – too many tubes and sweaty people I'll say. Walking over the grey stone pavement leading into the building, I look up at it in awe. This could be the new place of my first job – and it's so tall! Hitching up my works and resume under my arm, I take my first steps toward the tall, red brick building.

As I enter through the wide glass doors, the air conditioning immediately hits me and blows my hair all in front of my face – in a flurry of trying to blow it out the way with my mouth and ginger hair flying everywhere i vaguely notice a man walking towards me, who resembles much of a elf with black hair and red shirt if you ask me.

Smiling and laughing he takes my stuff off me so I can tidy myself up, then I thank him after he introduces himself;

'Hi, I'm Alistair – Radio 1 Producer? You're Maddy right?' Still smiling he passes me back my stuff once I look a bit more socially acceptable.

'Yes – Hello, Hi' I can't even fathom a sentence I'm either so nervous or excited – with this mix of emotions it's hard to tell which. I follow him into the building after he gestures around in the vague direction of interest whilst I notice the pictures of all the presenters hung on the wall – Jameela, Aled, Grimshaw – most I recognise but I still follow my eyes down the long black corridor into what he says is the green room.

'Now what we are really looking for is a new artist to add to these portraits – except the one's you will most probably be doing are a little different,' Alistair aimlessly mentions to me as we walk, 'the best way to describe it is quirky and the internet in a nutshell'

'Oh really? Well I know – well practically live on the internet, so, so that should be ok I guess' I nervously laugh – trying not to blow this, I know how little these opportunities must come about.

'Oh well then that is great!' He leads me into the office behind 'The Green Room' and gestures for me to sit, 'Here take a seat'

I do as told then he continues, as I smile nicely at him, my palms sweating. 'Now I understand you have a good resume?'

'Oh yes! Sure – here-' I fumble around with the wallet then pass it to him. He flicks through it, reading it and probably analysing my every move then exclaims; 'Okay brilliant, you have all the qualifications and experience for this position, but now I need to get to know you a bit, I will ask you some questions and just reply as normal- express your personality'

'Um okay, go' I smile at him, a little more relaxed now as he reads off a sheet of questions.

'Favourite Animal?' This was a question I was not expecting by a job interviewer but I reply anyway,

'Uhh Narwal? The unicorns of the sea? Either them or Red Pandas. Actually I do love red Pandas – I adopted one at the zoo once – she was called Li Yee and- oh wait sorry next question!' Bemused, he smiles at me and nods in agreement.

The questions, becoming all the more random and spontaneous finally end after I judge to be a half hour – I expect it is four-ish by now.

'Well it was a pleasure to meet you Maddy, and I can definitely say we will be seeing more of each other' Alistair looks at me with happy eyes, and I wonder why he said that – then it clicks.

'So I got the Job?'

'Yes you are great! Perfect even – can you start Monday or Tuesday?'

'Oh wow yes okay Monday is fine!' I feel a little piece of my life has slotted into place – knowing how hard it is to find work in London (And Flat) I'm surprised I have gotten this far this quickly!

Thanking him once again and feeling fulfilled, I make my way out of the building. Brushing past the public in the open section of the building below, I walk excitedly towards the doors.

Then entering the double doors I see a familiar face – Dan.

'Hey! DAN!' I shout over the mingling public as I try to grab his attention. Looking alarmed he looks through the public wondering who was shouting his name. I notice he's wearing the Crazy Kitten Shirt I have seen him wear on many occasions – so spontaneous and wonderful, I can't help but think it reflect most of my favourite artist's personalities – and mine.

Shouting louder I finally catch his eye. Almost relieved he smiles back at me, that curve of a smile that always manages to set a situation straight is back, but tangling my heart with it. I head towards him, eager to tell him the news, it seems he has been avoiding me after we met for Poptarts but he seems happily enough to see me now.

His eyes bright he chirps 'Oh Hi Maddy!' He pronounced my name with such carefulness, like saying a scared charm or something similar, and it makes me wonder. 'I thought it was some more fa- oh wait no never mind'

Confused at his discreteness I wave it past, happy I am talking to him and raise a subject 'Hiya, what are you doing here?'

'Oh well I- We work here, nothing big just once a week, we pop in- umm help out' Surprised at the fact he also works here I breeze over his scepticalness.

'Oh my god you work here? As what? Actually you'll never believe it!' I feel my cheeks pinkening in the public display of enthusiasm but I'm buzzing to tell someone.

Completely ignoring my question but obviously trying to keep the conversation alive he slyly says 'what..?' with his little side smile to add to his teasing joke.

'I got a job!' There it was out- 'HERE! Can you believe it?!'

'Oh wow Maddy that's brilliant! And fast but-' He holds his tongue once again – then I remember the meeting with Tara and the whole mysterious Fangirling- and Dan's hesitation to talk about his life. Is this the time to ask him? Right now?

'What? I mean I know! I'm ecstatic and this is my first job and now I am shaking it's so unreal!'

'Let's celebrate! You, Me, Phil – we all go out to dinner! What do you say?' His dark eyes lock on mine for a second, only about half a foot between them, mine almost closing with joy but still able to be seen, I reply:

'Yeah, that'll be really fun! I better get home to get ready!' I can't ask him now. Not here – hen it occurs to me, maybe tonight at dinner, then I can ask both of them.

'Sure thing, see you tonight!' Dan leans in to hug me quickly as he carries on walking into the building, surprised I end up putting my head into his shoulder – he's so tall! In the awkward battle of limbs and giggles he summons to let go giving me a hopeful smile as he walks away. Smiling back I say;

'Yeah will do!' Still laughing and my cheeks pink, I gleefully walk back out of the building to head home.

I step into my flat just as my phone buzzes. Flipping it out of my pocket and glancing at the text on screen.

'Hey Maddy, sorry I completely forgot! Me and Phil have something important going on this evening- it being a Sunday I'm tired and forgot – forgive me? ;) How about tomorrow evening?'

Slightly annoyed and wondering what he the most important thing is, I suffice to finding answers in the Dinner tomorrow, so text back:

'Sure thing, it's okay and you are forgiven haha ;)'

The winky faces only make this day better, even this couldn't but a stopper on my Happy Juice; I see them as a start of something great.

DAN'S POV

I hurriedly walk into the studio after texting Maddy, How could I forget the Radio show? These feelings I have for Maddy are way too distracting, her beautiful charm is whisking me away to Maddy-Land or something.

I wave to Phil through the glass of the studio and walk in. I glance at the clock on the computer screen, Delia Smith still staring at me stuck to the back big screen, nearly 5 o'clock. Okay two hours until the request's show.

Phil says something but my mind is too far into thinking about Maddy I barely hear him.

'Dan!'

'Oh wait no sorry what?'

'Are these music videos okay? I mean you really need to choose some now!'

Yanking my head out of the clouds once again I reply, 'oh yeah sure, what ones do you like?' Fumbling with the buttons and knobs on the deck.

'Well I really like this one – they all wear our Merch and swap around and stuff, I think it's by someone called.. wait a sec..' He squints at the screen as I let my mind drift again. 'Some girl called Tara and her friend, like it ?'

Pulling my attention to him again I mumble 'Oh yes sure whatever you want, great'

'Umm, so ok, yep.' He goes back to clicking the video and putting it in this week's folder, as I continue to dwell on my feelings for Maddy.

After a long radio show full of banter, apologies and anecdotes from Playlist Live, I finally get home at around 1am, after finishing up at the BBC building. Unlocking my flat door with Phil close behind me, I hear Maddy up and mumbling to herself in her flat.

'Uhh Phil, go in I need to check on something'

Wide eyed and slightly tired he replies, 'ok sure' Yawning as he talks.

I walk upstairs and knock on Maddy's door, no response. I swear I heard her up, or maybe it is just my mind playing tricks on me, once again.
