i'm not growing up, i'm aging

Maia was taking a much needed break from both jobs to read over a script they were sent for an audition.  They were highlighting lines, mostly minding their own business when the man next to them speaks. It takes Maia a moment, first, they look around, to see if he’s talking to someone else, and then when they realize he’s not, they listen to the song, and beats after that, they realize what song it is.  Finally, their gaze tracks back to the man next to them and Maia’s eyebrows go up “okay the was the humblest humble brag I’ve ever heard,” they say with laughter in their voice “if it helps it’s not your worst.”

Part of Adam wanted to be surprised when he was recognized but he was talking to himself out loud while his own song was playing. This obviously put quite the spotlight on him so he just smiled and shrugged. “Of course it’s not the worst. Those never made it out to the public. But still, its hard not to cringe when your high school ‘deep’ thoughts are blaring out of the speakers for everyone to hear,” he stated putting air-quotes around the word ‘deep.’ This was anything but deep. It was embarrassing. 

Ellie was almost relieved when he confirmed that yes, it was him on the recording, because otherwise that would have been even more embarrassing. In fact she didn’t even mind that his smile had dropped, as much as she hated to make him upset if it wasn’t a good thing for her to draw his attention to. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to, the question would have just eaten away at me if I didn’t go ahead and ask it. I’m Ellison by the way, you can call me Ellie though.” The blonde introduced herself with a a friendly smile, determined to keep hers up even if his had evaporated. “You’re talented, I loved this song.”

Although he tended to shy away from the spotlight these days, he couldn’t help but preen when she called him talented. “Thanks. I like to think I got a lot better over the years though. For one thing, I stopped singing about epic love stories that I’ve never experienced.” A chuckle accompanied his words. It was funny how a single compliment could totally change his demeanour. This was a fan after all. He couldn’t go on acting like a jerk around her. “It’s nice to meet you Ellie, I’m Adam but I’m sure you already know that.” 

“It’s alright, I just…thought you were talking to me.” Ellison replied in her southern lilt, going a little pink and warm around the base of her neck that she had gotten involved in someone’s day when they hadn’t even been speaking to her. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to get involved.” A small smile in his direction as she took another sip of her tea, nodding. “Hold on a second…” The blonde paused, because now with the same song still playing over the speaker in the cafe she was starting to feel like the man in front of her had some connection to it, which would explain his strong opinions. “You…sorry if this is a really dumb question, but is this you? In the song I mean.”

"Don’t worry about it,” Adam replied, airily waving off her concern. “I should’ve probably kept my opinions to myself.” He had a bad habit of vocalizing his thoughts when there was no real need to.  --The easy smile on his face instantly dropped when the woman seemed to recognize him. He shouldn’t have been surprised but he had hoped that he could go a day without being noticed. Apparently it was too much to hope for. “Kinda. It was a dumb seventeen year old version of me.” There was no reason to lie at this point.

Taking another sip of her tea Ellison almost jumped out of her skin when the man next to her started speaking, not because it was particularly loud, but more because she had been so in her own world. Looking over with a delicate frown between her eyebrows she shook her head. “I…didn’t choose this one, I think the coffee shop just has a playlist or something…”She murmured back to him, not entirely sure why he was so averse to the song that was currently playing, she’d heard it before, it was actually a pretty good one.

Adam hadn’t expected anyone to hear him. He was really just mumbling to himself so when he heard a distinctly feminine voice respond to him, a part of him wanted to jump. He somehow managed to keep his composure though and just shot the blonde a smile. “Sorry, I was talking to myself. I tend to do that,” he stated, scratching the back of his head in an embarrassed manner. “I’m also really opinionated when it comes to music.”

⇢ i swear i just saw AVAN JOGIA out on the streets but it turned out to be ADAM AHMED. HE was born on DECEMBER 21ST, 1996 making them only 23 years old. They’re known to be +QUICK-WITTED +CREATIVE and -IRRITABLE -EGOTISTICAL. They spend most of their time being a MUSICIAN. Rumour has it they’re HETEROSEXUAL, and can be found in DTLA. You know you’ve found them when you come across DARK SUNGLASSES, BLACK COFFEE AND A ROOM FULL OF INSTRUMENTS.

Violet took a sip from her cocktail, her gaze moving across the room until she spotted a familiar face across the way. She couldn’t quite place it for a minute and she couldn’t figure out why his expression was one of what seemed to be dread until she heard the song that was blaring through the room. Then it all clicked and with a flip of her silky raven colored hair and a smirk she headed over to him. “I mean…it’s not total trash. Definitely not your best but, a classic nonetheless.” She giggled, tilting her head to the side with amusement.

He looked over at the man and then at his hand and laughed a little. “I think you’ll make it but come let me clean it up and we can see if you need stitches.” He replied as he patted the table before getting his tray ready. “How did you cut you hand?” He asked.

“So yeah, maybe take it easy on the drinking tonight and your headache might go away.” he told the client. “Now take two aspirin and take a nap.” He added as she left. Turning he smiled at the new client. “Hey, how can I help you?” He asked.
