Music Sounds Better With You

Chapter 5

Timothy's Pov

Start of a new day at nagre-ready na kami para pumunta sa Hollywood. Ito ako, nag-aalmusal ng sky flakes dahil ginto ang mga pagkain dito sa hotel.Well unfortunately isang gabi lang pala kami dito at nasabi ko sa inyo ang ganda ng kwarto namin. Habang naliligo at nagbibihis ang iba, kami ni Marvin na mahilig sa anime ay naghahanap ng channel na animax.

"Timothy, nakita ko na" sabi ni Marvin

"Ahh, anong palabas?" tanong ko

"Angel Beats" tugon niya

"Napanuod mo na yan?" tanong ko ulit

"Di pa eh" tugon niya ulit

"Ge panuorin mo, maganda yan" sabi ko

Nakalipas ang ilang minuto at natapos na rin sila, si Marvin naman mukang nilipat ang channel ng tv. Papalabas na kami ng hotel at sinundo na kami ni Josh para pumunta sa Hollywood. Habang nasa sasakyan, may sari-sarili pa rin sila ng mundo. 41 hrs ang biyahe so matutulog muna ako. Marami kaming lugar na madadaanan kaya naka-ready na rin ako.

~*~

Andito na kami sa Hollywood at dumiretso na kami sa Denim Resort kung saan sure na ako na dito na kami titira. Naghanap kami ng room na kapareho nung room na dinescribe ko nung nasa New York pa kami.

"Pre, bakit parang feeling ko sinundan tayo nito?" tanong ni Jay

"Teka, si Mr. Sanchez yan diba? Yung receptionist sa Gramercy Hotel" sabi ko

"Oo nga noh, receptionist na din siya dito? Ilang beses ba natin makikita ang mukha niya?" tanong ni Franz

Nakita at nilapitan kami Mr. Sanchez

"Haha, I finally found you boys! My boss fired me because of you guys" sabi ni Mr. Sanchez

"So why was it our fault?" tanong ni Jay-ar

"Your one day stay in Gramercy made a huge mess and I got blamed thanks to you" sabi ni Mr. Sanchez

"Well, your welcome" tugon ko

"That wasn't even a compliment" sabi ng naiinis na Mr. Sanchez

Habang nag-uusap-usap kami, nag-ikot si Edmond, Paulo, Marvin at Vannie sa Resort so kami lang apat ang nakikipag-usap kay Mr. Sanchez.

~*~

Dinalaw na kami ng pagod kaya pumunta na kami sa room naming eksaktong katulad ng room namin sa Gramercy. Natulog na kami dahil maaga pa kami bukas.

~*~

Umaga na at nag-aantay na si Harry sa labas ng hotel para ihatid kami sa studio ni Josh. So pagtapos namin, sumakay na kami sa sasakyan at umalis.

~*~

Pumasok na kami sa studio at sinalubong kami ni Amy, ang secretary ni Josh.

"Okay, so you guys take this schedule and if you take a look at it, you'll see that it has everything you have to do and your whole day is completely covered" sabi ni Amy

"Looks like someone is stating the obvious" bulong ni Franz

Kinuha namin ang schedule namin.

"Okay boys, let's start" sabi ni Josh sa amin

Pumasok na kami sa recording room at kinuha ang mga mic.

"What are you doing there?" tanong ni Josh

"We're going to sing right?" tanong ko din

"Not now, you are going to dance for me" sabi niya

"But we are singers not dancers"
sabi ko sa kanya

"Well, there are four vocals and four instrument players, the vocals need to provide more entertainment than singing and standing there" sabi niya sa akin

"Well, we can't argue with that" sabi ni Vannie

"Come on, let's start" sabi ni Jay-ar

Sumayaw kaming apat na vocalist sa harap ni Josh.

~*~

Tapos na kami sayaw at kinausap kami ni Josh.

"Jay, Franz and Vannie danced great but Timothy, uhm you got a lot of problems when it comes to dancing" sabi ni Josh

"Well, you got a problem with me?" tanong ko sa kanya

"Well nothing, now go stand at the back of the mics" sabi ni Josh

"I thought you said that we won't get any practice in singing for today? tanong ni Jay

"Well, I'm just kidding" sabi ni Josh

Kinuha na namin ang mic at nagsimulang mag-practice.

"Cause the world stops when I put my arms around you, around you. (oh woah)
And nothing even matters (eh)
And nothing even matters. (eh)

[Vannie]
It's like one for the haters,
Two for all of those who try to shut us down.
They don't really know.
There ain't nothing they can do that can tear us apart.
No. I don't care about the money, don't care about the clothes.
When we're together, baby, anything goes.
We don't even need to prove what we feel in our hearts. No.

[Timothy]
This wall we built together, there ain't no way of knocking it over.
We'll be here forever, getting closer, and closer baby.

Cause the world stops when I put my arms around you, around you. (oh woah)
And nothing even matters. (eh)
And nothing even matters. (eh)
They can all talk, say what they want about us, about us. (oh woah)
And nothing even matters. (woah)
And nothing even matters. (eh)"

After ng song, kinausap kami ni Josh.

"You did great" sabi ni Josh

"So we didn't before?" tanong ni Franz

"You also did great before, oh right! this is Derek Graham, he is a Producer, the CEO of Graham Productions and also my boss" sabi ni Josh

"He was watching while you were singing and he liked it" he continued

"So you're Timothy right?" tanong ni Derek

"Uhm.. no I'm Jay" tugon ni Jay

"Oh, so who among you here is Timothy Jackson?" tanong ulit ni Derek

"It's me" tugon ko

"Oh, my daughter is a big fan of yours" sabi ni Derek

"Uhmm, thanks" sabi ko

"Yes, and also it's her birthday today, well she's my one and only daughter so I want to give her the best present that I can give" sabi niya

"So, what can I do to help?" tanong ko

"I want you and my daughter to get married" sabi ni Derek

"Whaat~!" sabi namin in a chorus way

"Uhmm.. could you please repeat what you just said?" confused na tanong ko

"I said tha..." ininterrupt ko si Derek

"I understand, you want your daughter to be merry" sabi ko

"uhmm, I think he meant the marry that is spelled with A not E" klinaro ako ni Jay-ar

"Say what?" confused na Timothy
