Own The World

Chap 7

Alexis' POV

I woke up Sunday morning at nine. I showered and got dressed in white shorts, a light purple crop top tee, and a white denim vest that looks like the sleeves have been cut off. "Blake," I said. I walked over to the bed and shook him. "Hey hun. You gotta wake up."

"For what?" Blake asked as I put on my white high tops. "Another performance?"

"No," I replied.

"It looks like you're in performance gear," Blake replied.

"It's just something I threw on," I replied. "Now come on."

"Alexis?" asked Britney knocking on the door.

"Hurry up," I told Blake. I opened the door. "Yeah, Britney."

"Have you heard of the MTV show called Catfish?" asked Britney.

"Yeah, I love that show," I replied.

"Well, Nev is on our doorstep," Britney replied. "They're sitting on the couch wanting to talk to you."

"Give me a minute and I'll be down," I replied. Britney left. "Why didn't they call me?"

"What?" asked Blake.

"Nev is looking for a co-host," I replied. "I think he chose me. Sorry hurry and get dressed." I walked downstairs and sure enough, there was Nev and a camera crew. "Hi."

"Hi," Nev replied getting up and hugging me. "I know I should've called or e-mailed."

"Oh, no," I replied. "You're okay."

"Alright," Nev replied. "So, are you willing to help on a Catfish episode?"

"I'd love to," I replied.

"Alexis, where'd you say the practice CDs were?" asked Drew walking in. "Oh sorry. I didn't know we had guests."

"Excuse me," I responded.

"It's okay," Nev replied.

"Okay, Drew, for the last time, the CDs are on the shelf in the studio," I said. "By the sound system. Why are you practicing anyways?" I looked at Drew. "You got two weeks."

"Just putting a list together," Drew replied. "We gotta make room for our opening act."

"Who'd that be?" I asked.

"You," Drew replied walking off.

"Whatever," I replied smiling. I looked back at Nev. "Wait, did he just say me?"

"Yeah," Nev smiled. I nodded. "You perform?"

"Yeah," I smiled. Blake walked down the stairs as I handed Nev my phone to watch the video Britney recorded of Blake and I yesterday. "That was yesterday." Blake sat down to me. "I'd like you to meet Blake English."

"Okay, so, we want to know more about you," Nev replied. "I do, anyways. Like there's only so much room on the application." I nodded. "So, are you and Blake, were you guys Catfish-ed?"

"Well, you can't necessarily define it like that," Blake replied.

"Yeah. Because I found out about Blake in two thousand twelve and I followed him on social media," I replied. "And I know social media is a big thing about catfish. That's where Blake and I interacted a lot."

"So kind of like catfish?" Nev asked.

"A little bit. When I found out about Blake, I was engaged with someone else," I replied. "Two years later, I eventually got to meet Blake."
