“Have you ever heard Precious by Esperanza Spalding? That’s always my song when my heart hurts you know? You should check it out.” Imogen suggests as she looks at him. “I feel that though, some people never really leave your heart. I up and left, went from New Orleans to this place and it worked but sometimes. Sometimes it’s the tone of someone’s voice, or something in the corner of my eye and I get that lovesick kind of feeling again.”

“But yes mama is a voodoo queen, I wasn’t gonna give you chicken bones and ouija boards just maybe some gemstones or something-stuff to put by your bed for clarity you know?” She asks with a smile, “I like to hedge my bets, get in good with all the powers that be.” Imogen shrugs before putting out her cigarette and looking at him. “Maybe you were meant for a little hurt, beautiful music doesn’t always come from the good times-sometimes you have to go through something to make art you know? Look at Sam Smith and Sia.”

“If there was a piano in here I’d blow your mind.” Imogen replies with a laugh as she looks at him. “Queen is alright, dude can play and I can dig it.” She says with a smile and a nod of her head, “I also love Prince and Bowie, they’re not my bread and butter but I still get into a mood where I listen to them. But when I listen to Bowie, I have to listen to my girl Tina.” She said before shaking her head, “And I don’t  really fuck with dance music, not my vibe.”

Settling into her seat, “Drizzy is Drake the rapper-you know he has that whole soulful dude vibe, he can’t dance but he had Jumpman and Hotline Bling. I’m only into him cause a dude I dig does work for him.” She explains as she looks at him with a smile, “But the dude is goofy and the vibe between us is kinda strange but that’s what you get when rap and hiphop collide right? I think I’d be weird with anybody.”

“Sounds like you’re a jive-turkey, but it’s not your fault- it’s how I think of anybody who doesn’t respect soul music.” Imogen replied with a slight smile, “And Billy Joel is no square, piano man is art when it’s not being mangled by drunk men.” She replied with a laugh as she sips her drink. The vibe in the bar was settling, that or the older man next to her was taking up the majority of her attention. Suddenly the harsh music behind her isn’t quite so jarring but then again she’d always had a singular focus. She raises an eyebrow when he mentions he writes, “Hm.” She hums to herself, “So you’re an author, what kind of stuff do you write.”

“You’re a cool chic, I thought you were a square when you came out here but guess I was wrong.” Imogen shrugs as she takes another drag before blowing out a ring of smoke. “I’m Imogen.”

So don’t take me on, unless you plan to be with me Don’t treat me with daydreams, if you’re gonna leave I don’t want now goodnights, unless you’re gonna be holding me Cause I’d be own two feet, then be left for lonely

Grinding on my own, never found a man I should keep. Always the first to know when to leave. But now pretty boy, you’ve got me twisted losing sleep. Singing your name, got me begging please. So Honey, I’m yours-you can have all of me And I’ll give you my heart and soul unconditionally But you have to - You have to learn me and love me, sweep me off my feet.

Don’t try to capture me, I’m not something for you keep Just let me run wild and free, so long as you’re riding with me I don’t want your bags packed, don’t act like you’re ready to leave Cause I’d be own two feet, then be left for lonely

When I’m in my feelings

“Everyone wants to be the master of their own sea or whatever it is that girls keep putting on their graduation caps, but sometimes-you can’t fight fate.” She replies as she looks at him, thinking about what to say next. She’d always known her experience not to be the average, Imogen grew up with her mother telling her that sure-she could choose a path or make her own future but there was no fighting the will of universe. “You can decide your future, but I think fate and circumstance control a lot of the journey we’re on. Loss of control sucks, but I think you gotta let things communicate back to you-let the signs dictate what you should do and even then just control your controllables.”

“Oh you got some love sickness?” She asks as she looks at him, “You know my mama is a voodoo queen, I can send away for something for you?” Imogen is only half joking, she’s not sure how superstitious he is but she knows she at least feels better when she’s spoken to her mother. “Have you tried channelling it into music-writing something for it? Sometimes you gotta cut the pain out, it’s like cardiac surgery-it’s invasive and painful but you can heal from it.”

“I am feeling the vibe in this room,” He might not be a full free-spirit but he was enough of one for Imogen to connect with it. Two artists bonding over their vibes and ideas was always cool to be apart of. Imogen might have to let him use her face more often, after all every makeup artist could use some more work with melanin. “How do you feel about the Weekend, I had a dream about Abel last night and I’ve been listening to his music all morning.” She replied as she looks at him raising an eyebrow, “Or some Drizzy, it’s never a bad time for One Dance you feel?”

“Boy, you’re too cute.” Imogen replies with a laugh before before giving him a peck and tugging him inside the apartment complex.  She lives on the third floor and usually she takes the stairs, sometimes stumbling but tonight she simply pushes him inside the elevator and presses the button. Pressing another kiss to his lips before smiling at him, “So I get your mind shooting blanks-is that why you’re goofy as hell?”
