A Fiend as a Friend

Chapter 13

Mike's POV

I tapped my foot on the tiled floor nervously. A lot of audience had turned in today--even more than the normal number. I just wasn't ready to trust that elf. What if after today's concert, the number of fans reduced?

I shook when I looked at all our fans, shouting. This had better be good or else, I would kill her.

Collins later went on stage to address the audience. "Hello everybody", he began. I noticed the way his eyes darted about, showing that he was nervous too. This was the first time a lady was singing and that was because I stupidly didn't plan any song out.

"So, today, our new band member, Felicity Adams would be presenting a song." The audience's shout died down immediately. Now, I present to you, Rainbow's new member, Felicity!"

I shook my head and picked up a bottle of water from the table. Collins was obviously not in his mind. New member my foot. I turned the cap and drank a little to calm myself down.

Then, suddenly, the door leading to the stage opened. I swallowed hard. Then, she came out, slowly. The bottle in my hand dropped immediately the moment I set my eyes on her. God! I rubbed my eyes and blinked hard to be sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.

Her hair had been gelled up in a very very very nice way and her face was as pretty as hell. My eyes lowered and I began to cough uncontrollably. Her dress was...oh my goodness...i couldn't describe how perfect she looked in it. The black silky dress clung to her body, hugging everywhere huggable and the way her leg moved so swiftly to the center of the stage made my heart beat hard against my chest.

I looked away, that was hard though. I loosened my tie hastily. I was almost choking, damn. I reached out for another bottle of water at the other end of the table. Hurriedly, I removed the cap and gulped down the contents. The lady in front of me was so not the elf I had known. She was different.

I choked on the water I was drinking when I heard her speak. "Hello. I'm Felicity. The song I plan to sing to you now is one of my favorites. I really hope you enjoy it."

Now, why did that simple statement make me choke?

Then, suddenly, the once silent audience began to scream loudly, more than the way they did with me. That alone caused me to choke the more. I stood up and held my head. What was she doing with my fans?

Then, with the same soft voice that she used at the audition, she began her song. Her voice was laced with so much emotion that tears began to fall down my cheeks. I couldn't even control them. As she sang, the melody of the song flowed through me, reaching the innermost parts of my heart.

  "Being with you forever makes me tingle to the toes, I feel like I'm riding on the clouds... forever with my baby girl. I love you forever. See my eyes, I never want to be far away, my heart keeps leaping when you are near. Never ever leave me carrying our heart's lever in a clever ever way..."

Then, she paused, the music continuing though, making me overly emotional. She could sing, damn.

"Far away, I dreamt of you, leaving me when I clearly loved you. I saw your eyes glisten, I felt my eyes moisten and together, we listened to our hearts beat in a rhythm that made us stronger. Forever, I'll love you."

When she finished, the crowd screamed harder than before. As if being controlled by a force, I began to clap wildly attracting the attention of others sitting by me at the table. I didn't mind though.

She wiped a tear away from her cheek and she smiled at the audience. "Thank you, guys." That made the audience scream. Reporters gathered at the front of the stage, taking as many pictures as possible.

I watched as Scott, Thomas and Collins walked to the stage, taking turns to hug her. I smiled. She'd been wonderful. Just as I began to move to do the same, I saw Micheal walk over with a bouquet of roses in his hands. I stopped immediately, anger filling me.  What was he trying to do?

The whole audience turned quiet as if they had planned it on along. One could hear a pin drop. Then, I watched in horror as he handed her the flowers. She smiled wide at him and I felt my heart shatter into tiny pieces. She collected them and inhaled the scent of the flowers. Then,  he did something that made me lose my mind. He hugged her, causing the audience to scream.

I didn't know why I felt so much annoyed when he hugged her. I didn't even feel that much anger when Scott, Collins or Thomas did.

Maybe it was because she hugged back.
