Elodie's P.O.V

Everyone were trying to make me keep my mind off the phone call but I couldn't stop worrying.

Something gnawed at my mind and little voices in my head were telling me that I wouldn't be able to do it and I wasn't good enough.

I sighed and got back to the film I was watching.

The call was expected today and I constantly had my phone at my side or in my hand.

The others could tell I was stressed but didn't mention it. My fingers kept on playing with threads on my clothes or my hair. I felt a pair of hand wrap around mine and looked up to see Beau standing over me.

I laughed and knew he wanted me to stop fidgeting.

He pulled me up and led me to the kitchen.

"How do you make cake?" he asked.

I giggled and gave him a questioning glance, "wait really?"

"Yep," he replied, popping the p.

I went to the fridge and got out the butter and eggs and took the flour and sugar out of the cupboard. I then grabbed the scales and mixing bowls and a knife and wooden spoon.

I turned the oven handle and turned the heat up to 180 degrees.

I insturcted Beau to measure out 125g of flour and sift it into the bowl. He did what he was told and followed everything I told him to do.

He got the spoon and mixed the mixture fiercly, spraying strands all over the kitchen.

When he had killed the mix, he poured the mixture into the pan and slid it into the oven.

He stood up and bowed. "Finito!"

"Do you want to decorate it?" I asked, putting some bowls into the sink.

"YEAH!" he screamed and helped me put the bowls in the dishwasher along with the spoon.

I took out some decorations and ready made icing. I also took some icing sugar to gently sprinkle on top to give it a final touch.

Before we knew it, it was time to get the cake out. Its fragrance filled my nose and I inhaled the smell. It was the perfect colour and Beau was so proud.

When it cooled, Beau put hearts on it and wrote, "love ya!"

I laughed and handed him the siftve and icing sugar.

He put his fingers in the power and he flicked it onto my face. I gasped and grabbed some out of the pack and put it in his hair.

He screamed and tackled me. He sat on me to stop me from moving and poured the contents of the icing sugar on my body. I cried out and he ran to the other side of the kitchen.

I stood up and walked slowly towards him. His eyes flicked to the door, but I blocked the exit and carried on advancing towards him.

When I reached him, I hugged him and rubbed all the powder on him. He chuckled and lifted me up onto the counter and kissed me with passion. I put my fingers in his hair and pulled him closer.

When things were getting heated, I heard someone cough and looked up to see Luke.

I laughed and he reddened, then he saw the damage to the kitchen.

"What the hell happened here?!" he exclaimed.

I pointed to the icing sugar and my face and body and at Beau. "Your brother doesn't like icing sugar!"

Luke chuckled and saw the cake. His eyes widened and I stood in front of it to stop him from eating it. "Not yet!"

"Alright, alright!" Luke said, putting his hands up in surrender and he walked out the room again.

After we cleaned up, I made some spagetti and meatballs and we all tucked in. Jess was staying tonight and going home tomorrow because she wanted to be there for me when I got the news.

Making the cake really made me forget about the call, which I still hadn't recieved. It was 8pm and my hope was beginning to fade. He would have called by now wouldn't he?

"ELODIE!"

"Sorry, what?" I said, focusing on Jai, who had called me.

"I said congrats on the cake, it's really nice!"

"Well actually, Beau did most of it!"

All the boys jaws dropped and they all looked like they couldn't believe it. Beau smirked and ate his cake.

"Really?"Skip said, examining his cake.

"Yeah I did!" Beau cheered, "suck that bitches!"

I laughed and then my phone started to ring. I answered it and held it to my ear, my hands shaking.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Elodie, I'm terribly sorry but...."

I closed my eyes, expecting the worst.

"Your going to be doing a lot more work because my Boss loved you and can see big things for you!"

"Really?" I asked, trying to keep my excitment in.

"Yes, now sorry I called late. but I need to go. Come to Star Records on Friday at 11 and we'll start recording!"

"Thank you for telling me, goodbye."

I hung up and looked at all of their faces. I looked  at the floor. "He said no," I mumbled.

They all looked shocked and upset.

"JOKING, HE SAID YES! I'M GONNA HAVE A RECORD!" I screamed.

They all took a moment to process what I just said and they all ran up and gave me a hug. Beau kissed my lips and I felt his smile.

I'm gonna be a singer!'
