- Jess, I got everything. Let's go to the motorcycle. - Theodore said and took Jessica by the hand.

- Yeah... Listen Theo, do you live far away? - the girl asked.

-No. Why are you asking?

- Just. You know where I live.

- To be honest, it's a 15-minute walk to your cafe. - Theo answered.

Jessica looked at him and smiled. Then they walked in silence. When Theodore put Jess on the motorcycle, he asked:

- Do you need a helmet? Or is it better without it?

- If we don't drive too fast, we can do without a helmet. - Jessica answered and put the helmet in the basket.

- Okay, I won't go too fast. - the guy said and sat down behind Jess. Slightly moving forward, he started the motorcycle and it started off.

"God, that smell of her hair is driving me crazy... Stop. Theodore stop thinking about it! You're just friends...." All the way, Whein thought about the girl who was sitting in front of him.

Half an hour later the motorcycle stopped in Jessica's yard.

- Thanks for the ride,- Jess said as Theo got her off the bike.

- Nothing. - The guy answered and hugged the girl. Jessica was a little shocked but still returned the hug. The girl immediately felt the smell of expensive men's cologne and the smell of menthol mixed with lemon. In these embraces, both felt needed and did not want to let go of each other. They stayed like that for two minutes.

“It's time for us to say goodbye. Tomorrow I have to train and go to the studio,” the guy said and pulled away.

"All right... Bye," said the girl, and kissed Theodore on the cheek.

So long, princess.

The girl left and Theodore got on a motorcycle and left. Both had a question in their heads: "What was that?"
With these thoughts they fell asleep.

Morning. The alarm clock is ringing. The bright rays of the sun shine into Theodore's eyes.

- Mmmm... I'm getting up. - Theodore muttered and pulled himself up to the phone to turn off the alarm. - So. Today there is a lot to do, so you need to get up and get ready.

He got up, made his bed and went to the bathroom. Having done all the morning's work, Theo went to prepare breakfast. Then the phone rang.

*Telephone conversation*

- Good morning Mr Whein. I hope I didn't wake you up. - came the voice of a man. It was the director of the music studio, Christopher Robertson.

- And good luck to you, Mr. Robertson.- Everything is fine. Did you want something?

- Yes. Today is a rookie audition and you must attend. In 3 hours there will be a meeting with all the musicians. I hope everything is clear?

- I understand. Goodbye Mr Robertson. The guy said and hung up.

Theo had breakfast, cleaned everything up and started getting ready. As much as he didn't want to, he had to wear a smart suit and shoes instead of comfy ripped jeans, a sweatshirt and white sneakers. Final touches and you're good to go. Theodore left the apartment and went to the car. Sitting behind the wheel of a brand new black Lamborghini, Theo picked up the phone and dialed a number.

* Telephone conversation*

- Hello, I'm listening. - It was Oliver Davis, coach of Theo's team and his best friend.

- Hi, friend. I have a rookie audition in the studio today and a meeting of musicians, so I might not be able to come to practice.

- OK. But remember, this is the last time! We have a serious match with those assholes from Washington soon and we have to win.- Oliver said.

- Thanks bro, you saved me.

- Not at all. - Oliver answered and hung up.

Theo started the car and sped off in the direction of the ''Dark Secret'' cafe. Having parked the car near the entrance, the guy entered the cafe. As always, there were few people in it. Theo went to the checkout. Peter was standing there.

- Good morning, Mr. Brooks. I would like a cappuccino with caramel as usual. - said Theodore and held out the money.

- Will now be. - Peter said and whispered, - Mr. Whein, we agreed. Since yesterday you have been considered a close friend of our colleague. You don't have to pay for this.

- Good. But still, take this money. - the guy insisted.

- You'd better buy something for Jess with this money.

- Okay. By the way, where is she?

- She just left. She said that she was going to audition in the studio. - Peter answered.

- Interesting... Did she say which audition she was going to?- Whein asked. In his heart, he really hoped that he would meet Jessica in the same studio where Theo studied.

- She said that she was going to do vocals. And what?

- So... Maybe I'll still meet her today.- When Peter looked at him with an incomprehensible look, he continued, - I'm just now heading to the studio to audition for newcomers. And only in this studio it will be today.

- If that's the case, grab her her favorite raspberry muffins and a cold caramel mint latte. - Peter said and put everything in a bag. - Here's your cappuccino.

- Thank you Mr. Brooks. Have a good day.

- And you.

Theodore took the bag and cappuccino and left the café. ''Now you can go'' thought the guy and went to the studio.
