Georgia And Mika

Meetings and Interviews

The Day after the Party the meetings started. Most of Mikas family travelled back to their homes but Paloma, Yasmine and Zuelika stayed behind to help with the concert. Many people came in and out of the house to talk to Mika and his sister's. Nobody talked to me. It annoyed me. I was told I'd take part in the meeting and plannings but instead Sat In a side room and only overheard a few things. I was getting annoyed. Very Annoyed. I wanted to go home.

"Georgia?" Mika came into my room. I huffed and turned away from him. how dare he not include me in Plans, Again!
"Hey Georgy I know my Sisters and I haven't been including you and I'm sorry, I'm still adjusting to having another member of the team, I've just had an earful from Yasmine about It." He sat down next to me, looking genuinely hurt about his actions, I didn't want to forgive him again but also I didn't want to blame him.

"I want to be apart of the concert, I want to sing a song, one of your songs, with you, I will even do some Interviews if necessary." I said in a quiet voice to him. Still refusing to look anywhere other than out the window.

"Are you sure, you don't have to if you are too scared to." Mika replies, matching my quiet tone of voice I nodded and finally looked at him.
"Yes I'm sure, This concert is not about me it's about Beirut, Lebanon, all those people too scared of the future, the ones who lost everything in the blink of an eye." I said, Thinking of the horror in Beirut. "but please, Include me fully in your plans!" I leaned over slightly and rested my head on his shoulder, He gave me a small kiss on the forehead and a little hug. "I wish I could of known you all your life Georgy, you bring out the best In People." He smiled sweetly but then in true Mika fashion jumped up again.
"Considering you have to go back to Florence city some point this week You could come on this chat show with me, they've been asking for an Interview from us for ages, would be a great place to start our Promotions for the charity!"  He Looked at me with a big smile.

"Sure, aslong as we definitely mention the Beirut Concert and it's not all about us!" I replied. He smiled and immediately got his phone out to call his management and wondered out the room. A few seconds later he shouted up the corridor. "We're having falafel wraps Soon Georgy!" Before all went quiet again.

I can't deny I was scared for this interview, Mika seemed ok with it but I guess he'd been in the spotlight for over 13 years at this rate and all of my newfound fame came to me almost overnight. I cried a little in my room, Why did I agree to this? I had no idea how to act in an interview let alone he broadcast across all of Italy!
Soon I smelt the food being cooked, None of the pennimans could see me in this state, I tided myself up quickly and Joined them for dinner.

Yasmine sat down next to me at the table.
"that's a very big Task youre doing, Mika makes it look very easy but trust me Interviews are hard, Mika Took all of us on a French tv show a couple of years ago and that was terrifying, he handled it so well but to Me and the rest of the family there it was very very scary, You're best off asking Mika for some good advice, he should really teach you how to act since you are his daughter, Isn't that right, Mika, Georgias Father?"  Yasmine looked Annoyed at Mika, Probably for rushing me into an interview so quickly without any second thoughts.

"I'll coach her don't worry Yasmine, plus I think Interviews are quite fun and a breeze if you dont overthink them." Mika said as he sat down at the table with a glass of rich red wine. "We're off back to her Mother's house tomorrow, Will help settle her nerves and give her a Good Amount of preparation time before She Gets on camera." Mika said to Yasmine

"She's only young Mika, I think she needs a Dad, not a Coach!" Yasmine snapped.

"She's Sitting Right here!" I eye rolled and went back to quietly eating my dinner. It was clear Yasmine thought Mika was doing a terrible job as My father. After that the room went awkwardly silent.

"so, Georgia, how's your Mother doing?" Doing?" Paloma Said, Trying to break the silence but by this point I was quite annoyed.
"good, I'm going back to my room to pack." I stood up from the dinner table and stormed back to my room. Leaving the 4 siblings starting at eachother in awkward silence.
