Maya's POV
"We good?" My fine ass girlfriend says as she slings her guitar around her.
"Yeah." Daisy Lacroix says from her spot in the tech booth as Pongo comes over and lays with me on the big lawn chair I'm sitting in.
"Hi Pongo." I whisper.
Pongo smiles at me then he gets comfy in the chair and looks at his favorite person.
"ACTION." Daisy shouts.
"Hi friends." Lavender says into her microphone in front of her.
Lavender is recording her Campfire Sessions tonight.
Myself, Lavender's friends, and our Barcelona teammates are watching the performance.
"And welcome to the September 2026 session of the Campfire Sessions." Lavender says then everyone cheers making Lavender smile. "My Name's Lavender Lacroix and like always I'm joined by Jucinara Press on guitar, Isabella Salazar on bass, and Emma Harris on drums."
When Lavender records her music she does all the instrument parts herself, but when she does her campfire sessions she has Jucinara, Isabella, and Emma help her perform the songs.
"The first song is called Stop & Stare." Lavender says then she and her friends start playing their instruments.
A few seconds into the song Lavender starts singing.
Well I'm drowning in a river full of rye
Hanging out with the devil on a Friday night
And she ain't never been a friend of mine, since I left town
It's getting hard to sleep in that old bed
I'll never forget a damn word you said
You say it's over, we're done, we're finished, go on and get out,
I'll get out
And my heartbeat sounding like rain on the rooftop
Dancing with a slut in a red and black tube top
Go for a ride and baby it won't stop there
And now I'm headed for the coast underneath the moonlight
Asphalt glowing undernеath the streetlights
Thinkin 'bout your big green eyes and your jеt black hair
Oh as I stop and stare
Oh as I stop and stare
You were something hard to love for what it's worth
She cussed a lot
Was never fond of church
She was a wicked woman who had it out for me
Still getting hard to sleep in that old bed
My eyes are black and they're bloodshot red
And when I think of you I find it hard to sleep
And my heartbeat sounding like rain on the rooftop
Dancing with a slut in a red and black tube top
Go for a ride and baby it won't stop there
And now I'm headed for the coast underneath the moonlight
Asphalt glowing underneath the streetlights
Thinkin 'bout your big green eyes and your jet black hair
As I stop and stare
Oh as I stop and stare
"They're very good at playing their instruments." Alexia says as she cuddles with her wife.
"Very good." Patri says as Lavender starts singing again.
And I run
And by moonlight I'll be gone by sunrise
She's hot on my tail
And I run
And by moonlight I'll be gone by sunrise
Lord I need some help
Yes I stop and stare
Oh lord as I stop and stare
After the first song ends, I may or may not zone out for a second and unashamedly ogle my soulmate.
Lavender's wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey that's made to look like a basketball jersey so her muscly arms are showing.
