Taking Chances

Chapter 4

We chatted for a bit about music and I felt like I had known this man forever. He seemed to be delighted by my music but I don't know if it will go anywhere as I ponder what the future holds for my music. I am on my way back home now and I am almost to my apartment when I realize how much I want to go back there and continue talking and laughing with him. Singing for him was such a rush of adrenaline that leaves me feeling conflicted about why I would even feel this way? I have never been in love before but is this what it feels like? My phone starts to ring interupting my thoughts, "Hello?" I answer almost secretly hoping it was him.
"Hey girl! What's up?" Leah squeals sounding very cheerful.
"Nothing I just got back from singing for someone. What are you doing?" God please don't ask who for.
"Yay! Who did you audition for?" She questions.
"You remeber the guy at the bar last night that I was making eye contact with? He was telling me how he is getting into the music business himself on the producing end of things and he wanted me to come sing for him as maybe a potential singer to sponser to start both careers." I exclaim trying not to get too excited.
"That's awesome! I knew you guys would end up talking to one another." She chuckles.
"Yeah but I doubt it goes anywhere. This has happened plenty of times before where I think I am going to catch a break and it doesn't happen. Besides he is also up and coming himself so it's not like he probably has a lot of connections right now." I sigh.
"Hey, you don't know that, chin up girl. The real question is do you like him?"
"Oh stop with that he is much older than me obviously how could I?" I lie knowing damn well deep down something about him stirred up a current in my heart.
"Whatever you say, do you want to come out with me and some of the girls tonight?" Leah offers with a laugh.
"Sure, where and what time?"
"How about Cap City diner at 7? We can have drinks and talk more about it then?!" She cheers and I agree. We give each other an I love you and goodbye and I walk upstairs to my apartment. Ugh I want to go out tonight but I can't stop thinking about him and my music. The thought of another day in the office makes me sick. As soon as I get in the door I turn on my radio and start listening to Michael Jackson and Barbra Striesand. Both of them got me through the tough times and the doubts I had about myself as a musician. I lay on my bed and just listen to the music and relax for awhile. I imagined myself singing side by side with both Barbra and MJ in front of thousands of people who are cconnecting with us through every note and tune. It seems so far out of reach but I still haven't completely given up. Maybe I do know deep down inside that one day it will happen for me and I sort of hope that Rene will be apart of that...
