DANIELLE'S POV I walk swiftly towards the washing machine, my hair held up in a messy bun. I was wearing a big round-neck top over denim shorts. It's a Saturday, the day we do all our laundries, and clean up the apartment. Normally it's our room janitor that's supposed to be doing that but we sent her away. Although she begged to at least be coming on Mondays to clean up for us since we are always busy on such days, after much thought, we reluctantly agreed. Why did we send her away? Well, we aren't lazy or too busy to not do them and we love doing our stuffs ourselves. Cilia just finished cleaning the room and was heading to the kitchen to clean it up. Tania was taking care of the restroom and Me? I just finished doing the laundry. I picked up the basket of now clean clothes that I'd already folded neatly. I walked back to the room with the clothes and settled to fixing them in the closet. My phone rang, the one I used in communicating with close fans. Who could it be? I thought. Walking to my reading table where I kept it, I picked it up. It's an unknown number. "Hello," "Good morning. Please am I unto Miss Diva?" The lady at the other end said. "Yes, Black Diva speaking. I'm sorry who am I unto?" I asked. "It's a pleasure to hear from you again Diva. Hanna on the line, we met on Thursday and you gave me your card." She explained. Oh! Little Alexis aunt. "Hanna it's nice to hear from you too. How's Alex?" I went back to the closet and continued what I was doing before, supporting the phone with my head and shoulder. "Alexis is here. She's the reason I called, she wants to visit today. Can she visit?" "Of course, Hanna. Bring her to Unique Queens dorm, then call me when you arrive. I will come pick her up." I smiled. "Very well Diva, I will do that. Thanks for your kindness once again." She said. "It's nothing Hanna," I smiled. "May I speak with her?" I asked. "Yes of course, hold on." Hanna said. "Hello My idol," Her tiny voice shrieked. I chuckled. "My little angel, how are you?" A feeling of genuine happiness flowed through me as I speak with her. My heart clutching tightly with an unexplainable feeling of pain and joy. I really love this kid. "I'm doing fine Black Diva. I look forward to seeing you," she said. "Same here dear, now go prepare so your aunt can bring you to me. We'll visit a lot of places, I know you will love that." "Yeah!!! Definitely. I fully anticipate the trip with you." she squealed. "Alright angel I will see you soon okay?" I dropped the last piece of cloth in it's place. "Okay!" I heard her talk to her aunt. "I will get her dressed and bring her to you in an hour." Hanna said. "Alright Hanna, see you then." I hung up and tossed the phone to my bed. "The little cutie you met is that?" I stood up and turned to see Cilia looking at me with her apron still on. I smiled at her. "Yeah, her aunt is bringing her over." I replied as I sat down on a chair. She nodded smilingly. "Can't wait to see her." She said. "You are done with the kitchen?" I asked. Wasn't expecting her out this early, Tania's still in the lavatory. "Yeah. I'm fast, I know." She praised, tapping her shoulder proudly. I chuckled. "You aren't serious." I laughed. "Well, well let's applaud the fast queen shall we?" Tania shouted cynically from the lavatory. "...I'm also done here. Just taking a shower," She added. Lia and I laughed. "Be fast about that baby, I wanna bath too." Lia shouted back. I laughed as I stood up and walk back to the closet. I've gotta pick out what I'll be wearing out. "Hey! That's my job, let me help you with that." Lia immediately interrupted. "This isn't necessary Lia, you know that. I'm just gonna be taking a kid out, not like I'm going to see my boyfriend." I said with an eye roll. "It's necessary Elle, what if you run into him somewhere." She insisted, gently pushing me away from the closet and making me sit at the vanity. "Well I agree with her," Nia said from the lavatory. "Remember after you've had your bath, I will be dressing that messy hair of yours and doing your make up." She added phlegmatically. I huffed and crossed my arms poutingly as Lia began ransacking my side of the closet. Oh boy! This girls really. JAY'S POV I smiled as Roe did the intro with the piano. I hope you know, you caused this flow, Of words and heart and broken dreams, But my fault lies in what I chose, You wait for me, I'll keep you here... I rap as the crowd cheered, some video, the girls squealing and shrieking. I smiled. Roe continued playing softly on the piano while I supported with my lead guitar shaking my head in rhythm to the melodious music. I can't help thinking, this is like love at first sight... If you were with me, I would make everything alright... The bell will ring soon, it's time to make you mine... It's time to make you Mine... I ended as the students were all clapping, waving and cheering. I look at the guys we and we laughed. This song was the last song I wrote last month while preparing for my audition which will take place coming March, at the California Musical Conference here in Sacramento. How I got the inspiration of writing this song: I was at home in New York City last December, watching on TV the dance performance of The DSD, and as I stared at Saline's happy face as they performed, something just clicked in my brain and the words began flowing in. Don't know why it happened that way, but I just know that it was from her I got the inspiration to write this song. I owe her one, I know. My eyes ran through the crowd searching if I could see her but no, I didn't see her. Our performance today at this music Hall was a first. I decided I needed to flow in this campus like I did at Newark. Back then, it was something normal for us to do most Saturdays. I would sing and play my lead guitar, while Roe plays piano and Dan, he would play the Bass guitar with Goldie backing me up with her melodious voice. We were a really great team back then. But after Goldie broke Dan's heart, he lost interest in music and stops attending music concerts even mine. Each time he enters a music hall, he would unconsciously begin to weep as it was a constant reminder of her. She was his first girlfriend and they dated for four and a half years, it's not easy getting over that kinda relationship. So we advised him to stop attending musical concerts until he fully recovers from his heartbreak, though it was hard not having him with me each time I go to audition, but then Roe was always there, like he is now. Dan still listens to any song I write and sometimes go to the studio with me. Right now he's probably shopping at a mall. Like I said before, our performance here today, was a surprise. The students were extremely overjoyed and surprised when we walked into the music hall, Roe and I that is, although we asked Rino to help play the Bass Guitar since he was very good at it. Three girls walked up the podium to us, I stare at them carefully. What? Lucia and her friends? How did they know we would be here? I look at Roe. He was also puzzled. How did she know or Is she spying on us? No that's not even possible since females aren't allowed in our dorm. So how then did she know? Thank God Dan isn't here. Wait! Did she send someone to spy on us? My mind went back to that janitor. Wayne! I've always thought him to be a bodyguard. Yes, ever since that guy started cleaning our apartment, Lucia was always wherever we were. Hmm! So he's the informant? I stare plainly at her when she smiled at us. Good thing we were done singing. I nod to the guys and we stood up and walked amidst cheering and squealing of the students, down the podium and out of the hall. Leaving them there. Now I've gotta fish out this guy that's been telling on us....
