The next couple of weeks were good. Nights at the club were going really well. Mike was happy with the job I was doing and the crowds that were turning out. Every day I came in and told Aubrey she looked nice and every night after closing I helped her clean the place up and then we'd lock up and she would drive me home. Just a couple weeks in and it became sort of like a routine already. I felt like I really owed her. We talked a lot. Well, I talked a lot mostly. She was kinda quiet most just listening to me talk. No one ever really did that. I made sure I brought my guitar this night. So after we closed we did the usual clean up. I finished by portion before she did. I didn't tell her. I just grabbed my guitar and sat up in my DJ booth and started to play and at the sound of the guitar she turns her attention to me then I start singing. "Hey pretty baby with the high heels on, you give me fever like I've never, ever known. You're just a product of loveliness. I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress. I feel your fever from miles around, I'll pick you up in my car and we'll paint the town. Just kiss me baby and tell me twice, that you're the one for me...... The way you make me feel. The way you make me feel. You really turn me on. You really turn me on. You knock me off of my feet. You knock me off of my feet. My lonely days are gone. My lonely days are gone. Ooooohhhh." I finish and Aubrey is looking at me in amazement and she starts to clap. "Bruno, that was amazing! I'm gonna need that autograph so I can say I knew you before you were famous" she says and laughs making me laugh too. "No problem sweetheart. Just give me a pen and paper and tell me to who make it out to" I said and smiled at her. "Oh I am so serious. Before you quit this place I'm getting my autograph. Bruno that was outta this world. I've never heard anyone do a Michael Jackson cover that successfully. That's talent. I salute you" she says and salutes me. I laugh and say "Thanks! That means a lot. I won't forget about you when I make it." - "Mmmmhmm that's what they all say" she says jokingly. "Well I'm Bruno" I say. "Okay BRUNO! Let's get outta here" she says and she takes me home.
