“Sorry about that everyone, I really had to take that call, let’s get back to work,” Ashley announced as she walked back into the studio all smiles.

The happiness radiating off of the rocker sickened Mark, “We all know how girlfriend’s can be right,” he said as causally and as upbeat as he could.

“Yeah, she graduated last week,” Ashley stated with a smile.”Her family’s moving into Ohio today, so as soon as I’m done laying out these tracks I’m heading over there to bring my house warming gift to them.”

“Sorry to burst your bubble babe,” Mark sighed shaking his head, “But I don’t think you’re going to be able to make it over to Ohio, we’re gonna be in this studio all night.”

Ashley frowned, “Why can’t I just come back tomorrow and finish up.”

“Because I told the label you’d be done by today with the tracks, we’re already behind schedule they won’t give me any more time.”

“Well try harder to get more time Mark,” Ashley hissed. “I promised Spencer I would be there and I’m going to be there.”

Mark bit the side of his cheek trying to keep his anger in check. “I’ll see what I can do. But, there will be a fat bill to pay for holding off production.”

The rocker snorted. “It’s not like we don’t have the money to pay for it.”

Mark nodded. “Okay, your right, as always. I don’t know where my head was. How about we get started on those tracks?”

“Alright,” Ashley agreed walking into the booth.

As the rocker began to sing Mark pulled out his cell phone and made a call, “Yeah, it’s me Mark Goldstein, yeah, I’m looking for a blonde, blue eyes, around five four, yes that seems to be her type, okay good, bye.”

After four hours of non stop singing Ashley had had enough. She took her headphones off and signaled to have the music stopped.

Mark frowned and talked into the intercom, “Is there a problem Ashley?”

“Yes there’s a fucking problem,” she growled as she stepped out of the booth. “I’ve done over thirty takes of the same damn song and you still need me here?”

“Ashley babe, I just want this album to fresh.”
