Still 1985 my lovies, but there will be only one more flashback, I promise. Okay, I lied.
Cynthia's POV
Karen rushed into my office and said breathlessly, "CL, Elton John is on the phone for you."
I stared at Karen for a nanosecond and picked up the phone.
"Cynthia Lewis speaking."
"Miss Lewis, this is Elton John."
"Good morning, Mr.John" Cynthia said.
"Elton, please."
"CL, Elton."
We both laughed for a bit and the ice was broken. Elton said, "Let's meet for lunch and discuss the reason for my call."
"Alright, said Cynthia, "next Wednesday is open, is that convenient for you?"
"Righto, I'll be in New York, let's meet at Le Cirque at 1:00. Sirio is a friend of mine and he'll give us a secluded table away from the diners."
"Looking forward to meeting with you Elton, until next week." Cyn said.
"Uh, I'm bringing Rod Stewart, CL, I hope you won't mind?" Elton queried.
"Of course not, the more the merrier" and Cynthia hung up.
Cynthia was lost in thought for a bit. Would she have to travel to London? She often thought of Freddie, he was quite impossible to forget. Besides from her own personal experience, he and Queen were always in the news. He was one of the most elusive personaliaties alive despite being the most famous rock star in the world. Critics have never been too fond of the group in spite of enormous popularity. They were a band of and for the people and never gave a damn about critic's opinions.
Freddie's sexuality was their usual focus. A complex individual who categorically refused to be boxed-in or pidgeon-holed. He loved whom he loved, be it man, woman or cats. To him, it was a connection rather than gender, although he did seem to gravitate more towards men. Cyn often wondered if she should have been more open and honest with Freddie but took the coward's way out. She really couldn't have mattered to him, it was a one night adventure and he had the world at his feet. Her eyes watered as she shook her head to clear thoughts of him, but she couldn't.
She buzzed for Karen and Rosalie and they hurriedly walked in extremely curious about Elton John's phone call. Cynthia had no idea what Elton wanted to speak to her about but she wanted her team prepared. Next week, we are going to lunch with Elton John and Rod Stewart. Rosalie's head shot up and said "WHAT?"
"Didn't you hear me Ro, we are meeting Elton John and Rod Stewart at Le Cirque next week. What's wrong?" Cyn asked looking at Ro strangely. Karen sniggered and Rosalie went red in the face. Cynthia was getting irritated and said, "I want to know what's going on, now!"
"Well" Karen started, "It was 2 years ago when you left us in London and went home for more testing, remember?
Cynthia nodded. "Well, Scott and Ryan made reservations at Heaven, a well known gay club and wanted us to join them, and we did. We really had a lot of fun drinking and dancing but Ro had a little too much to drink at the bar. She was in the midst of slipping off her bar stool when she was caught and picked up by....Rod Stewart. He carried her into the waiting limo not realizing we were following and they left."
