...I'm gonna build castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be stronger than
You ever thought I was
You ever thought I was

Brianna finished her third song of the night. She was hungry. No she was craving for cereals, corn flakes to be precised. Too bad she could not have them here.

She looked at her chef with baby eyes pouting.

"Awwww, you'll have your cereals soon okay? You're just left with one song. And I'll make sure we buy numerous packs of different brands and tastes and flavours and col-"

"Hahaha okay okay I heard you, thanks but you don't have to buy so many packs you know." Brianna interupted her chef. "I need just three different packs over here" she pouted again, swinging sideways like a pendulum.

"You're such a baby!" Orlando hugged her. "We'll do that for you promise." He said smiling at her childishness.

Drake let his brother play his soft and cool song on the piano and met Brianna and Orlando besides the bar.

A young man in his late twenties walked towards them.
He smiled at the trio then stretched out his hand towards Brianna for a greeting.

"Hi, I'm Albert." He said and kissed the back of her hand "I love your voice, you sing great. Believe me you're gifted." He said and greeted the other guys. "You mister, you're not of this world, I enjoy every bit of your beats and sounds. They're just so melodious." He said to Drake.
"Oh and the food, mmmh so yummy. I can literally feel the love you guys have for what you do." He continued this time looking at Orlando.

The trio thanked him. He was one of the rare and obviously faithful clients who took the time to personally thank the workers.

"I'll love to make a request please." He said looking at Brianna.

"Sure what's that?" She asked.

"Uhm I'll like you to sing or dedicate a song to my girlfriend. It's her birthday and I'll love to pop the question today." He said smiling, you could see his love for her written on his face.

"Aww how sweet! Is she here already?" Brianna asked.

He looked at his expensive wrist watch and said "No She'll be here in a couple of minutes."

"What song is that?" Drake asked loving it already.

"Tatiana Manaois uhm You mean to tell me." He answered.

"Okay we'll do that for you sir" Brianna said tapping his shoulders.

"Hope you did not forget the ring though" Orlando commented

"Hahaha no I have it right here" he said bringing out a little black box. He opened it to reveal a beautiful diamond ring.

"Wow bro" Drake interjected

"Oh my God!" Came Brianna's exclamation

"Waow!" Orlando's followed

"It's really so super Beautiful. She'll love it I'm certain." Brianna encouraged.

"Thank y'all so much. I'll get sitted now she might be here anytime soon." He said smiling as he left.

"Dios mi, love is beautiful." Orlando said looking at the guy walking to his table.

"It sure is, sometimes." Drake said.

Just as Drake and Brianna were planning on how they were going to make Albert's request original and unique, a beautifully dressed gorgeously beautiful lady walked in. She looked kinda confused. She walked towards the trio and greeted them smiling.
Joe came from no where returning her greetings. The lady just giggled at his action.

"Is any mister Albert having a reserved table here please? She asked.

"Yes please, let me take you there my lady." Joe dramatised

The trio shook their heads in amusement.
They stayed at the bar waiting for the couple to eat first before going on stage.

"See you soon" Brianna said to her chef following Drake to the stage ready to make the couple witness an unforgettable experience.

Brianna took a stool and placed it beside Drake who was sitted already playing some soft notes for Brianna to make the announcement.

She took the mic and smiled at the couple who just finished their meal. They were now talking softly to each other.
Brianna cleared her throat ready to announce.
