Working With Mr. Nelson

First time working with him

I needed a job really bad now that I'm living in Minneapolis. I'm actually staying a hotel for now or a really crappy apartment. I really love Prince and he was looking for a assistant so I decided to take the job. I started walking and I got a nervous feeling in my stomach. I was so nervous I wanted to throw up. So I fianlly got there and his door was so big. I knocked and I heard some heals clicking on the floor.

"Oh hey...you're here." Prince said in a voice I can only describe as melancholy.

"Oh.....um....nice to meet you too. I guess."

When I walked in it was so beautiful. His carpet was his love sign. But I'm so glad I got to work here its so amazing.

"So as my assistant you don't have much, just answer my calls when I'm busy and some paperwork. Oh and catering of course if you know how to cook". Prince said.

"Ok so do I start now or...?" I asked.

"Oh now, you can start now."

"Ok great."

I sat in Prince's office and waited for something to do. But I heard them rehearsing in the other room so I decided just to take a peek. I walked in very quietly so I wouldn't make noise. As I looked I saw Prince looking straight into my eyes when he walked out. We just stood there looking at eachother.

"I'm sorry Mr. Nelson I just heard some music, I......I....didn't mean to disturb you." I said timidly

"Its fine girl, you were just listening it's totally fine." He approached me slowly, and as he was about to walk passed me he stopped, "By the way you have beautiful eyes."Prince whispered.

As he walked away I wanted to cry. He just complimented my eyes even though his are better. I just couldn't do anything, I froze, but anyways I walked back in the office and sat down. The phone rang so I answered.

"Hello, you've called Pasely Park! How may I help you?" I asked with a cheerful voice.

"Hi, can I please speak to Prince? Please it's important."(caller said)

"Ok I'll check if he's available."

"PRINCE! someone wants to speak with you". I yelled.

"Who is it"? He asked.

"Um I'm sorry, but who would like to speak with Mr. Nelson?" I asked the caller.

"It's Appollonia. His wife".

"Oh......ok. PRINCE it's your wife!" I said.

"Ok I'm coming." Prince said.

Prince ran up and took the phone.

"Hey baby, what do you need?.......Are you fucking serious? Again Appollonia?!......I don't have time for this, I have practice." Prince abruptly slammed the phone back into it's nook.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I don't want to talk about it with you."

He walked away very angrily. I felt so bad I thought he had an easy life but it seems like its hard for him. The day started to get late and everyone went home. I just walked into the rehearsal room and sat by the piano gliding my fingers across the keys. As I started to play a song I got into a groove and started really playing the song. I moved my head and shook my hips and I loved the song that I was playing. After I finished I had this thrill but I heard clapping in the background. I looked back and it was Prince.

"Oh um hey...." I said scratching my head," I just wanted to play"

"You can play, but just ask first, it's not like your in the band or anything". Prince said.

I walked by him to leave and he stopped and looked at me.

"Hey don't feel bad..." He suddenly placed his hand on my cheek. It was so warm and sent tingles down my entire body. "I loved your playing it was........magnificent". Prince whispered with a certain sultry in his voice.

"Oh...um...thankyou..." I whispered, my face flushing with the brightest red against my pale cheeks.

"No problem. Let me know next time you play...I'd love to hear it again." His  voice was doing something to my mind. It was singing to me, driving me crazy.

"Oh um....sure..." I could feel my timidness crawl up and wrap it's fist around my heart.

I couldn't believe it. He loves my playing? I could barely breath but I pulled myself together.
