The Story of Steps

In Cannes

Faye:

Looking outside of the window of our band car, I'm dreamily admiring the beautiful city while we're driving through the streets of Cannes. Every now and then we drive past luxurious houses or hotels and my smile increases whenever seeing these buildings. It's a fascinating city for sure and the fact that we're filming a music video here is just so incredible.

"Look!" I shout, making Lisa - who's sitting next to me and was focused on listening to music - shrug and dropping her player. She shakes her head amused, starting the music again with a grin. "Look!" I say again, pointing at the location we just drived past. "We need to go sightseeing! There's- there's that street where famous movie stars did their signatures! And there's the port with all this luxurious boats And did you saw these shops?!" I add, not able to hide the pure excitement. 

I definitely want to go sightseeing, there's simply so much to see here! The beach is beautiful too so maybe we could even go there as well. Lisa said she would love to go to a beach bar and shopping - H wanting to do equal stuff. Claire added that she would like to go shopping as well and taking pictures of the beautiful location. That basically summarises what Lee and me want to do as well and we both definitely want to go sightseeing, both of us are looking forward to this city ever since Pete told us about this location. Gladly we're allowed to use a bit of freetime until we meet with the camera crew - that means that the boys will go to the beach while us girls will walk through the city before we all, including the crew, will meet at the beach to film the music video. Between the time after Abbamania and before going here, we spent our time with mainly dancing rehearsals and it's fair to say that this was truly enjoyable. Now Lee stops at a small parking area and we leave the car, looking around impressed. What a great location that is!

"Come on, off to the city with us!" I say happily, earning smiles from the others.

"Yes, we're coming. Don't stress us." Claire says while H already heads off to the beach in his swimwear. "See you boys and let's go, girls!" 

Walking through the streets is simply interesting, there are just plenty of things to see. Obviously I keep standing at the place where a few artists are performing. What a talent! "Amazing!" I whisper, applauding them in fascination. I look through my pocket, searching for a bit of money for them. Their smile upon seeing the money is just lovely and I smile back all happily. The others must see them too! And so I turn around, expecting them to be still standing behind me as I start to speak. "Look how great-" Oh. Claire and Lisa aren't even standing next to me, they just kept walking around. Getting lost in a foreign city is like a habit of mine. "Wait for me!" I shout, glancing at the artists with another smile before heading off again.

"There you are!" Claire exclaims as I arrive next to them and almost fell over. "I bet you were watching these artists - and don't even tell me how great they are, because I can already assume it."

"They're amazing! You should see them for certain." I say happily. "But what do you want to do now?"

"How about going to a bar to use our freetime?" Lisa asks us. 

We decide to sit down to talk about our ideas, although her idea seems great to me. Only Claire isn't really approving. "How about going back to the beach where the boys are?" she asks. "There's a little bar too where we could go despite I don't understand why you like going to bars so much."

"Because it's fun." Lisa replies as a matter of fact. "And besides, why do you even want to go back to the beach? Won't you be annoyed by H or something?"

"H isn't as annoying as you portray him. But if you ask it like that, aren't you always talking about spending time together as a band?" 

Okay, that's the truth. I mean, we travel a lot as a band, mainly for filming, but just like now it's usually the boys who do something together and us girls of course. "Sounds great to me. What do you think?" I reply, looking at Lisa when asking my question as she didn't replied anything yet.
