2.My Drew

Siya's POV

Hollywood, a year ago

On that fateful day, as usual, I was rushing from my college to reach the studio as I had a small rehearsal for a backtrack song at K Musix Studios. As I was hurrying my way towards my destination, I accidentally bumped into a wall and was about to fall. But the wall held me tightly, preventing me from falling. As I opened my eyes, I found myself gazing into a pair of beautiful chocolate brown eyes, and as my gaze trailed down, I could see soft pink lips. I mentally scoffed as I felt like a pervert.

While I was literally drooling over the wall, the wall spoke to me, "Excuse me, sweety. Are you alright?"

And I gave him my epic reply.." I-I'm...Am I al-right...?I...I'm late...ok ...sorry, bye"..and I ran from there clutching my bag as I was entirely embarrassed.

Arghh...What is wrong with me? I behaved like a lost puppy in front of that hot chocolate guy...Ok, guys, don't get me wrong here...the guy had chocolate brown eyes and was hot, so I decided to give him that name. He was around 6 feet tall and was remarkably drool-worthy. Please blame my teenage hormones for my cluttered mind.

After rehearsing the lead singer's backtrack, I went to the cafeteria at K Musix for a coffee cup. There I coincidentally bumped into him again."Oh, God!" "I'm so clumsy." I cursed myself.

"Hi! Ms.Bumping into me always...Are you alright? I'm Andrew...And you are..."

I'm Nobody...Oh, God! Why is he so hot?... And Why does he look familiar? Have I met him before? I muttered under my breath.

Of course... You have...Did you forget that you bumped into him in the morning?" My subconscious mocked me.

My subconscious mind always spoke to me in situations like this, and I always zone out chatting with my mind. Sometimes I wonder whether I'm a werewolf because my subconscious speaks to me most of the time, and I think it's my inner wolf talking to me. (Reading too much online werewolf stories makes me feel like this🤣🤣🤣).

"Hi !Ms.Are you still here? Please come back to earth, Sweety", his words brought me back to earth as he said.

"Oh... I'm-sorry..Come again..I just zoned out".I stuttered.

"I'm Andrew, Andrew Williams," he said.

"Did he just say he is Andrew Williams?" I asked myself.

Yes, you idiot...he did...my inner voice spoke.

OMG, I can't believe he is Andrew Williams, a pop star and son of Brian Williams and Katherine Williams, owners of K Musix, and are billionaires in the USA. No wonder he looks familiar; I was amazed to find out who he was.

"I'm Siya Parker. I'm a backtrack singer here". I said timidly, coming out of my trance.

"Nice to meet you, Siya...Will see you more, bye, for now, Sweetheart, "and he winked at me and walked away.

It was how I met my Drew.

After that incident, we met each other several times and got to know more about each other. He is a 22-year-old pop singer ambitious to climb the heights of success through his music. He radically didn't have to struggle as his parents were wealthy and owned the music company and ready to support him. But he never showed off his status to anyone. He was unbelievably good-natured and sweet.

Even though I liked him, I just friend-zoned him due to two reasons. I was scared of my family and mostly my brother Zayn(thank God Zayn was in New York for his studies that year). Zayn would have killed me if he knew I was making friends and that too a boy. I didn't want to turn my already complicated life into a disaster.

Second, I know that he was way out of my league as he is handsome, wealthy, and successful. In contrast, I'm just a plain jane(no, she is not, she is just insecure...author's pov)and unwanted by all. Also, I did not want him to think of me as a gold digger. His family was powerful and wouldn't want a middle-class girl to be part of their son's life. And I had my own share of insecurities, which prevented me from falling in love with him.

But Drew eventually broke all the walls that I had built around me and made me fall head over heels for him. I could not comprehend whether it was just attraction or real love as I was nothing but a teenager. But I trusted him to be the King who ruled my heart. Two months into our "friendship," and he asked me to be his girlfriend, to which I reluctantly agreed. He didn't take me out to splendid dates but swept me off the floor by taking me out to places that made me happy.

Most importantly, he never forced me for anything, and he knew his limits with me. This nature of Drew made me entice myself towards him. He was also aware of my timid nature and my fear of facing my parents. Drew even talked to my parents, which I dreaded the most, but they also approved our relationship to my astonishment. But I had to hear sarcastic comments from my mom, like how I was a slut who knew how to seduce rich men, but it didn't hurt me because deep down, I knew rich or poor, he would always be mine. I love him to the moon and back.

As you know, Drew had released his debut music album last year, which was not a big commercial hit. The day I bumped into him was the day he would sing for his next music album. And the day after he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes was the release date of his new album. The album turned out to be an instant hit and topped the charts. So he considers me to be his lucky charm. It was heart-melting whenever he mentioned that I was his lucky charm, as my own family always viewed me as a curse.

We kept our relationship away from the media as it would make my life complicated. When I suggested Drew to hide our relationship, he was against it as he wanted to flaunt me as his lady love in front of the world. But he understood my choices and respected my decision. He also knew that it would be difficult for me to handle the paparazzi as he finds it irritating to be surrounded by them all the time.

But when his album became a chart-topper, he compelled me to go with him to his success party. Although I didn't want to go because of my insecurity, I agreed as I didn't want him to be sad about his success party. He was happy and was over the moon. Drew held the party at his home, and only his family and close friends were attending, much to my relief. I'm not much of a party person, and I feel awkward being around many people. The reason is that I'm an introvert and lack confidence, all thanks to my family. Though I was a bit tensed to meet his parents for the first time, Drew's happiness meant so much to me. And that's the only reason for me to make my mind to attend it.

At this party, he introduced me to his parents as well as his best friends. At this event, I got to know about Drew's childhood best friend, Amy, aka Amanda King. And my meeting with her made me realize that she was an indispensable part of his life.
