Chapter #30
March 21st
Taylor's POV
Damn I don't think I have ever seen Dua nervous but she is just as nervous as Jr as she talks to him. "Ten bucks she asks Grizzly out." I say to Sarah as Dua and Grizzly talk. "Ten bucks he asks her out." She says. "Deal." I say shaking her hand. "Did you know she is a fan of his music?" Sarah asks. "No I didn't and why do you call my brother Grizzly?" Sarah asks. "Have you seen your brother? He exercises almost as much as your Ma and he's six foot four." I say. "So he calls you Pixie since you are so small next to him?" She says. "Yes." I nod. "Dua Lipa asked for my autograph." Grizzly cheers once the door to the soundbooth is closed and she can't hear him. "So did you ask her out?" I ask. "No I got too nervous." He says. "Well damn. Ok now I have to work so you two sit over there." Sarah says.

Dua's POV
I just got his autograph! I was kinda hoping he'd ask me out. I guess I will have to be the one to ask once I am done with my song. "Ok Dua are you ready?" Sarah asks through the headset. "Yep I am all set." I tell her with a thumbs up. "Ok here we go. Three two one go." She says counting me down and playing the music.
"Okay, huh, mm, ah"
"I come and I go"
"Tell me all the ways you need me"
"I'm not here for long"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"I come and I go"
"Prove you got the right to please me"
"Everybody knows"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"Time is passin' like a solar eclipse"
"See you watchin' and you blow me a kiss"
"It's your moment, baby, don't let it slip"
"Come in closer, are you readin' my lips?"
"They say I come and I go"
"Tell me all the ways you need me"
"I'm not here for long"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"I come and I go"
"Prove you got the right to please me"
"Everybody knows"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"If you're good enough, you'll find a way"
"Maybe you could cause a girl to change (her ways)"
"Do you think about it night and day?"
"Maybe you could be the one to make me stay"
"Everything you say is soundin' so sweet (ah-ah)"
"But do you practice everything that you preach? (Ah-ah)"
"I need something that'll make me believe (ah-ah)"
"If you got it, baby, give it to me"
"They say I come and I go"
"Tell me all the ways you need me"
"I'm not here for long"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"I come and I go (I come and I go)"
"Prove you got the right to please me"
"Everybody knows (I'm not here for long)"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"If you're good enough, you'll find a way"
"Maybe you could cause a girl to change (her ways)"
"Do you think about it night and day?"
"Maybe you could be the one to make me stay"
"Oh-oh"
"Ooh"
"I come and I go"
"Tell me all the ways you need me (ooh)"
"I'm not here for long"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"I come and I go (I come and I go)"
"Prove you got the right to please me"
"Everybody knows (I'm not here for long)"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"
"Houdini"
"Catch me or I go Houdini"

I finish the song and Taylor and Jr are clapping in the soundbooth making me smile. "Wow, that was great." Jr says. "I'm glad you think so. Um, do you think we can talk in private?" I ask him. "You guys can use my office, you know where it is." Sarah says. "Ok let's go." Jr says. We walk in silence for the small walk to the office. "So what did you want to talk about?" He asks fidgeting with what looks like a spinner ring. "Well I was wondering if you would want to maybe get coffee sometime maybe?" I ask. "I'd love to. I would hate for you to go houdini on me." He smiles and I laugh at the reference to my new song. "Awesome here, let me put my number in your phone." I say and he hands me his phone.

Jr's POV
Dua Lipa my celebrity crush just asked me out and is putting her number in my phone holy shit! "Here just send me a text so I can save your number." She says. "Yeah, will do." I say, trying to stay as calm as possible. "Well I have to go, I have an appointment with my agent. I can't wait to hear from you. See you around Jr." She says placing a kiss on my cheek before leaving. I look down at my phone and see her contact. [Dua💋] holy shit she put a kiss emoji on there. I think I'll go ahead and send her a text now.
Me: Hey it's Jr.
Dua💋: Hey I didn't expect you to text so soon.
Me: Well when a cute girl gives you their number you don't wait around.
Dua💋: You think I'm cute huh.
Me: Yeah I do. So I am free Tuesday all day. Just tell me what time works best for you for coffee.
Dua💋: How about three?
Me: Yeah that works for me.
Dua💋: Great! Well I've got to go to my meeting now. Talk to you later.
Me: Definitely.
I open the door to the office and Pixie and Sarah fall to the floor since they were leaning against the door listening to apparently good thing that Dua went out the other door, "So you guys heard?" I ask. "Yeah and I owe Taylor ten bucks." Sarah says. "What? Why?" I ask. "I bet her ten bucks that it would be Dua who asks you out. Sarah thought it would be you to ask her out but I knew you'd be too nervous." Pixie tells me as my sister goes to get her wallet.

Scarlett's POV
Dua is just leaving the house as we pull in the drive. "Why are you smiling like that?" Sam asks. "Oh uh Jr and I are going on a date. Oh that's him texting me." She says when her phone buzzes. "Well I'm happy for you two." I tell her. "Thanks Mrs. Johansson." She says and now I feel old. "Please call me Scarlett, Mrs. Johansson makes me feel old." I tell her. "Right, sorry, well I have gotta go, my agent is waiting for me." She says. "Have a good day, drive safe." I tell her and she nods. "You're such a mom." Sam laughs. "I have eight kids and am going to have my ninth in a little less than two months. I can say all the Mom like things I want." I say. "I was messing with you Penguin." she wraps her arms around me as she says that. "Well please don't because sometimes I can't tell with all these hormones." I say. "I'm sorry Baby I won't mess with you till after the baby's born." Sam says holding me close. "You are a dick." I laugh. "I thought you liked my dick?" She smirks. "You've got me there." I say. "As much as I love to just hold you we should go inside." She says. "Hmm but I like being close to you." I say with my head resting on her chest. "Here I have a solution." She says and picks me up causing me to squeal.
