The next morning we both sitting on the bed and I lie my head on his shoulder. We talk a bit and then I ask:

"May I live with you here?"

Sonny look at me

"Of course you can...but only if you can cook and make my apartment clean."

He chuckles. I nod and even though I can't cook and I never clean a whole apartment I'll do it for him. I still want ask about the band if I can sing with him. So I ask

"Uhm...I know you have a little band..I am right? And...since when I'm a child is it my big wish to be famous. No matter as an actress or a singer. May I..sing with you?"

He look then at me really surprised and answers:

"Well first...this is not my band.. this is the band from the coffee. I'm usually a solo singer and I have my background girls. I found a background singer maybe you want sing there?"

I was happy as I heard that. But I never sing and even though that I nod

"Yes...yes..thank you..."

I smile and we hug each other. But Sonny stands up and wears his things on

"Well..then wear your things...we go now."

He smiles and I look surprised

"What? Now?"

He chuckles and makes his arms short to the side

"Do you want a singer now or not?"

I laugh and I stand up to make me ready too.
After a while we drive with his car to the studio. I was never in a studio before and thats why I was really excited. In the studio we walk along a small floor. On the walls are hanging many CD discs from other singers. Like Elvis or David Bowie. I look around and I was fascinated from that all. Imagine my name is there with a CD disc.
Sonny opens then a door and there are 3 other women. In the room are music instruments and a microphone. Sonny says:

"Hey girls...we have a new background singer here...this is Cherilyn.."

He smiles. The women smiles to me too and they greet me. But I was confused that he don't tell them that we are a pair now. So I whisper in his ear:

"Uhm..why do you don't tell them that we are pair?"

Sonny look at me and whisper:

"We are here to make music and not show that we are pair huh?"

I nod and I was glad that he still likes me. But he was right. 
Sonny explain us how we should do that and I stand with the other women in front of the microphone. He stands in the next room in front of a window to watch and listen us.

"Okay girls...then go!."

He click on a button and we begin to sing. I sing for the first time and wow...I never thought that I have a good voice.
Sometimes stop Sonny the recording and give us hints or other things. We record the whole day and it was so fun to do it. This was my dream now. To be a singer.
As we sit in the car he look at me

"Do you know that you have an amazing voice? So clear...I like it."

I smile and look a bit away because I don't like it when someone give me compliments

"You think so?"

He chuckles and lies his hand on my shoulder

"Yes..really..."

He is for a while silent and say:

"Come..we make an own carrier...just we two..as a duo.."

I look at him surprised

"What? But what about your background singers?"

He chuckles and waves with his hand

"Ah..forget them..I thought about that for a while to do it. So...what do you think about that?"

I can't believe that I heard that and excited I say:

"Oh my God...yes...yes..."

Then I kisses him short and Sonny smiles at me and he say:

"Well...then I call tomorrow the studio and say that the background singer should go and we can sing."

He starts the car and drives then back to his apartment
