POEMS, SONGS AND FATE

Untitled Part 4: The Lesson

At the studio, the group gathered because it is Sunday afternoon. At the end of the week, each one is eager to rush to where they can do nothing but relax. Much more, do what they love. By instinct, everyone seeks to gain back all the energy expended during the week working. For them it is music. The soul wishes to replenished.

For Gene, he doesn't have to sing or pick the guitar , sometimes just being there and listening to others play does the purpose just the same. The mood isn't always the same. Like this afternoon, he just showed up later than everyone else, appearing to be in less than a fair mood for he probably been drunk last night. All he did was to slack in a sofa near Jelo , put his legs on the table, cover his face with his cap and pretend to be sleeping while others busied themselves in something. Jelo is playing some new chords while humming softly. Brent is not on anything, just his phone, but is quiet. Oli is eating something he bought from outside on his way. Olivia is there watching on her laptop computer. Marco is yet to come.

Olivia,once in a while, glances at Gene. At times she stares at him taking advantage of him not looking.

'How pleasurable it is staring at the guy you love..hhmm,'she feels so lucky. For not every woman can be physically with the guy she loves but she has that luxury. Again, her heart cheered at the sight. His sneakers are bit worn out matching with his rugged jeans of faded blue color. His shirt looks decent, though. Over all he appears very yummy to her eyes that if...,if only Oli, Brent and Jelo weren't there.. She would go near the sleeping guy and smell him once again. Well, not necessarily disturbing him but she would just sniff him once more..

Hahaha!, Olivia laughed secretly having that thought. 'Oh, well!'

Jelo is singing Let It Go from the movie Frozen while playing its chords on the keyboard. His voice is not bad. His singing ability is not that exceptional but his talent with playing the keys is. It sounded exactly like the original sound track.

"Go, Jelo! " Olivia cheered. Oli stood from eating and started interpreting the song with his body movements. That looked very funny that Brent laughed while watching. Hahahahaha. Even more hysterically because Oli did it more exaggeratedly. Even then, Jelo didn't get distracted. He continued singing.

For two times already Olivia met with Gene at the studio, only the two of them. The first one was unintentional. Olivia dropped by the place to pick up something she forgot during the weekend. And the other was when she requested to meet with her . Of course, he agreed , just because he wasn't working that day.

She thought it was he who can teach her best when it comes to basics of guitar playing. He did, seriously, and today is going to be their second teaching session together. He seems to be friendlier than he thought so she ended up feeling bit more at ease with him. Even better thing is, he is actually a caring and thoughtful guy.

-I'll come to your apartment- she received his message early this morning. Good thing that she didn't leave the house yet.

'Hmmm..Even better. '

Someone she likes so much is coming to her house. Naturally, like every woman in love, she looked around to check if the house is presentable.

'What should I wear?'

She rushed to her bathroom to see if her make up kit is there. She looked at the clock. 'Oh my! There is no much time. I have to take a good bath now..' Right away she opened the tap to fill her bath tub. She giggled loudly thinking how worried she is about how things should be ...when Gene comes here.

She opened her door to see Gene standing there. She did everything she doesn't do everyday to look nice. To smell better . Just for him to be pleased. Everything is perfect !
