Oh mon Dieu! - Damiano David

May, 2021

So far, Margot had an encounter with almost all the members from Maneskin, except for one, obviously that being Damiano. She was grateful for that and prayed to whatever higher up to not let her be alone with him. She knew it was happing, but it was wishful thinking on her end to not be near him more than she needed Cigarette after cigarette, she tried changing her smoking location just in case she runs into him. Rehearsal, room, room rehearsal. Nothing in between just to avoid them which started to frustrate her because it was taking away from her experience with the whole show. She did not participate in most of the group activities or outings because they were everywhere and kept bothering her which her team took notice of but decided against commenting on it.

Her interview with Nikkie tutorials was today and she was beyond excited to meet the legendary youtuber she learned how to do makeup from. Before she had a more "girly" appearance, she always looked at Nikkie for makeup inspiration so to meet her and get interviewed by her was a big thing. She was on right after Maneskin were. After her interview with Nikkie she had a small practice performance, and she was all set till the second rehearsal that was due to take place a day before the grand finale. Margot was dressed in and outfit from Lazy Oaf with rings all over her fingers, chains on her neck and goggle shades on top of her hair that was in two space buns. She patiently waited her turn until it was her time to meet the legend. Somehow, she pushed it to the back of her mind that she was going right after her "enemies".

As soon as the On Air sign turned off, Margot knew that they were bound to come out of the studio, and they did not long after. All of them dressed in tailored suits that suited them very well and their brand. He looked dapper and she hated that he looked so good. He was the first one to go out and immediately locked eyes with her and tried to keep them. To him, even though she heavily changed how she looked, he still found her the most beautiful girl ever. No one could compare to her. He threw her a small smile which she did not give back but just nodded her head while adjusting her chains before going in. He lingered back near the door towards the studio as his band mates passed him. He stepped to the side as she walked into the door, but he gently grabbed her hand and whispered, "Back smoking area after dinner." – and looked her into the eyes which again she did not return but instead just nodded and proceeded to enter the studio.

The band stayed behind and decided to watch her interview. Nikkie and Margot exchanged introductions and pleasantries before taking their places and getting ready to film. "Welcome to the LookLabs Studio and this time with me I have a pop culture trend setter, an icon, a legend. Miss France is here; Margot how are you?" – Nikkie gave her a great introduction to which Margot really appreciated."Hi Nikkie, I'm so glad I finally met you! I literally learned to do my makeup from you!" – she flattered but told the truth to which Nikkie blushed and fanned her face with the cards. "Oh, my Goodness, what an honour that is! The pleasure is all mine!" – Nikkie gushed and continued. "So, I'm so glad to have you on this sofa, in this studio and to talk to you. First, how do you like The Netherlands and your Eurovision experience so far?" – Nikkie started.

"I love visiting the Netherlands, it's not my first time here. I often went on weekends with my father here when it's tulip season, so I absolutely enjoy it here. As for my Eurovision experience so far, I have been having a blast getting to know everyone, gearing up for the grand finale." – Margot answered. "Oh, you're good you're right away taking me to my next question. Your song! Oh my God, I get goosebumps every time I hear it, you're making me feel so much! Tell me if you can what is the secret behind it." – Nikkie gushed again. Margot chuckled and answered. "Well, I was in a crazy relationship where I lost so much, I lost a huge part of myself. I wasn't myself for long time. It took a drunk dial from my ex-boyfriend to wake me up and to simply write a love letter to him as a way of getting closure, so that's what the song is. All the questions I didn't got to answer over the phone call I answered in the song. After finishing writing it, I realised how happier I am when I am not with him. And I can't lie and say that I wish that wasn't true, but it is. I am a much happier and better person when I am not with him!" – she told her truthfully. "Oh and another thing, don't drink and drive folks! Especially don't drink, drive and make phone calls!" – she added with a chuckle.

"Oh that sounds to sad, but it also sounds so poetic. You always have amazing lyrics. You're a genius behind a pen. But you're also a genius with you fashion sense. I mean look at you today all dripped out as the kids would say nowadays. Let's see those rings and those chains!" – Nikkie gassed her up as she gave a whole preview of the outfit she was wearing. "Can we have a little spoiler of what you're going to wear on the big night?" – Nikkie quizzed. "That, you will have to wait and see!" – Margot answered and winked at the camera.

The interview went on with Nikkie offering her Dutch candies, some of which Margot recognised and then Nikkie told her some Dutch phrases which concluded the interview. Margot walked out happy for once since she came to the competition. What she didn't know was that Damiano saw and heard the whole thing which opened his eyes to a lot of feelings he surprised deep inside. And he had a feeling that all that would come out tonight when he meets her...
