I was pretty overwhelmed due to the fact that everything happened so fast. One minute I send the entry video for the chance to be featured in his next music video and before I know it Chris Corner wants me to go to Germany. How will he be like? Snobby, shy, crazy, incredibly handsome of course, but I didn't know how I would act when I see him. All these thoughts ran in my head while I sat in the terminal.
"Are you okay?, looks like your about to cause some serious earthquake if you keep shaking your leg like that" my aunt Claire said as she took a bite off her sandwich.
I smile and stopped shaking me leg, I was actually glad she was accompanying me instead of my mom. I didn't even want to imagine how my mother would act meeting a celebrity and being around the whole filming scene.
"Yeah I am okay, just really nervous," I bit the edge of my index finger,
She smiles and leans back,
"Flight 35B to Frankfurt is now boarding" the speakers on the ceiling top had waken me up from my daze.
"That's us" she said grabbing our bags. I nod. This was going to be a long flight.
My hands trembed as the plane shook a little, I had no problem riding the plane but the fact that I was actually going to meet Chris Corner felt surreal. How would I greet him? A small hug? No, he would probably back away. Endless scenarios played in my head, all ending to be unrealistic to happen.
After very long painful plan sickening 8 hours, we has officially landed on Frankfurt.
I could feel my own heartbeat echo in my ears as we took a cab to address he had sent me in a email a week before we came.
"It says here the address is 341 Berk st." I pointed out the driver, luckily he knew English.
He nodded as he turn back at the window,
I take the folded piece of paper and look out the window.
"wow I have been all over Europe but never in Frankfurt, what a beautiful city" aunt Claire breathed in deeply, She tucked a strand of her already graying hair behind her ear.
Awestruck, we arrived in front of a large medieval like building with only two candle lit lighting's at each side of large wooden doors.
"Is this the place?" aunt Claire asked the driver,
he only nodded and pointed at the building,
"I guess it is" I hesistate before grabbing my bags.
My knees trembled as we took the discorded stairs to the front door. Each step felt like my stomach was being walked on my elephants. Every moment closer into meeting him.
"I don't think I can do this aunt Claire" I abruptly stopped,
She turns to me confused, "What do you mean?"
"What if I'm not good enough, I mean I'm just really nervous"
"Don't do this to me Bernadette, we have flown 8 hours to get here but you don't want to go in anymore?" she scolds
I bite my lower lip and look down, "No its just that..."
A loud screeching noise made me jump. Surprised my aunt Claire and I both look towards the door.
"Oh, Bernadette. You finally came." the soothing thick accented voice loomed over the atmosphere.
My eyes traveled along the dark silhouette that planted on the ground until finally reaching the black boots that stood on edge of the door way. Carefully I look up. Chris Corner had pushed both doors open. His flawless being posed as he waited patiently for our response.
Shocked I look into his eyes. This was it. "Yes I have" I reply.
