COOTINUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER
Waking up without her felt like slipping back into the past—back to those years spent in a filthy apartment, surrounded by needles, bags of drugs, and all sorts of weapons lying around. Back then, he had someone looking out for him in their own twisted way, but it was nothing like this. Tonight, he was able to wrap his arms around her again, and the feeling was indescribable—something he had never experienced before. His life had taken a hard turn, but this time, it was in the right direction, and she was the one who helped him make that turn. Big things were on the horizon for them, like a freaking concert! By now, we know Jay a bit better, and we can probably expect some kind of surprise from him. Little did he know that life had its own surprise in store—a little trip down memory lane.
7:00 AM
The alarm started blasting as usual. Jay quickly smacked it off and checked on Rhea. It seemed it didn't wake her up, which brought a smile to his face as he slowly made his way to the bathroom and took a shower.
18 minutes later*
He was brushing his teeth when his phone started to ring. He immediately checked the caller ID, and a smile spread across his face.
Call Accepted
Jay: Well, well, good morning!
?: Sup, man
Jay: I didn't take you for an early bird.
?: You're not mistaken. But we have to prepare. Anyway, it won't be anything new—take her around the back, and we'll meet you there.
Jay: Sure thing... all of you?
?: No, only the producer. Yes, all of us, man! Come on!
Jay: I know, I know. I just... you know, I want to make her super happy.
?: I understand, no worries, mate. So... see you there?
Jay: Yeah, yeah, later. And THANK YOU!
?: Hey, no problem. And who knows, maybe one day we'll make a song for you.
Jay: I mean, walking down the ramp to something from you? YES SIR!
?: Hahaha, okay, bye.
Jay: See ya.
He put down his phone, rubbed his hands together, and then started shaking his fists and dancing ? Oh, I forgot—he has AirPods in!
Around 3:51, he grabbed their mop and started to play it like a guitar. Then he picked up his toothbrush and Rhea's, using them as air drums. This guy is like a little kid sometimes, but isn't that what we love about him?
As the song was ending, he was moshing like crazy. At one point, he turned around and saw Rhea leaning against the door frame, phone in hand, laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her cheeks. Jay froze for a moment, then turned back around, putting his fist against his forehead.
Jay: Oh no... this is bad... this is...
He slowly put his AirPods back in their case and turned around with an awkward smile.
Jay: Hey honey, what are you doing with that phone?
Rhea: (laughing) W-W-Why?
Jay: Just curious.
