"Whoa whoa whoa, lady, where have you been?"
Lione's voice surprised me as I slowly tip-toed to my bed. I can hear a bit of anger in his voice, and well, worries. Or is it just me? Can I just get a wish come true today, please.
"Lady, where have you been?" , he repeated the question again.
"I was just walking around the park, you know, looking for inspirations. I got to write some new songs for the demo, remember? I've searched for you anyway, but you're gone, I was left, alone.", I said.
"What's with the pitch, you could use the lower one. First, you don't have to write new songs, you already have lots of songs. Second, you have to trust yourself. Third, you don't have to make a demo. And fourth..", his voice were so calm and deep, but then stopped. Gosh, don't play games in times like this.
I'm so curious about what's the fourth, but I'm mad at him now, or at least, pretending like I am. I freeze for awhile, I am waiting until he gave up stopping his words, and just say what the fourth is. And I will laugh by the time he does that, in victory.
"Okay, freeze-girl, I prefer us not to be stones. And, the fourth is.. We, are going to New York again, tomorrow.", he said it like he's Ryan Seacrest.
I laughed, I win, but he left me questions again. But it's okay, his smile is like the whole world for me, it's like I'm in heaven. Then I asked "But why?".
"I'd be too old by the time you signed in to a contest, so I have to make my own decision as your manager.", he replied.
Then I asked again, "But why?"
"I think it's better, it's not a TV contest, you don't have to follow the directors, you can be yourself if you want, anything you want. It's a great contest, sponsored by Hollywood Producers. They've got Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Usher, Lil Wayne. Plus, people are seeing it online, and voting it online too. It's a great opportunity. The show is every Friday, we still can work at all the other days while practicing for the individual performances." He said, those two words are replied by a long speech that makes me speechless.
Realizing that I'm speechless he said, "So, freeze girl, are you", "Stop!" I cut his words. "What happens to tomorrow's show?", I asked.
"It's okay, I've cancelled it, no biggie. I got everything under control. See?", he said it while he's getting busy with his phone.
"You are texting the guy that booked me don't you?", I asked, I don't wanna argue about entering the contest, he has planned it by the way.
"No I'm not.", he said as I keep staring at him. "Okay, okay, yeah, I forgot to tell him, what's with the eyes? It's creepy." he said again. "Or, you want me staring at you like this, meow.." I asked him with my puppy eyes. "Even more creepy." he said. We both laughed.
