"I must be the only one to ever ditch a pretty girl like Eve even after being invited." He thought to himself as he reached Ali's place.
As he walked in, he could smell the strong scent of marijuana. He walked in to Ali talking to A-rod, whose real name is Aaron but everyone calls him A-rod.
A-rod, a 45 year old man, is a owner of a small hipster cafe down the street where many musicians started out. Even though he owned a cafe it was not his main business. It was a front for him dealing drugs. He was the only person other than Ali who knew that he was Grime. A rapper.
"Hey Gus, long time no see. How you been man?" Asked A-rod just as he entered the house.
"I'm alive, so that's good. Why are you here though?" He asked
"I wasn't going to miss the launch of your first song"
"You know it's not my first song, I already uploaded a few songs on YouTube and soundcloud." Gus replied nonchalantly
"Well this is the first song of your official rap career, even though the first few songs got you a cult following. The first few songs were you trying to work on your style and flow, so this is your first actual song." Said Ali as she cut in the conversation.
"Sure" replies Gus as he walked towards the music studio in Ali's apartment. He was nervous but he tried not to show it.
"Okay so this song, as soon as you click publish, will be published on every major music streaming site. And all of them pay per stream, so you can expect your pay check pretty soon, depending on the success of the song." Said Ali as she stood behind Gus who was staring at the computer.
"Sounds perfect." Said Gus.
Gus then clicked the publish button. His first ever songs was now out for the world to listen.
"Alright now that it's published. Let's go celebrate, we can check up on how the song is closing tomorrow. After all there's no point checking in the first few hours." Said A-rod as he passed the joint to Gus.
"Sounds like a plan." Said Ali
Soon the three went out to Ace club to celebrate. They usually don't go to such high end clubs but since it was a day of celebration, they treated themselves.
