•Kylie's POV
Bob was moving up and down ordering people to do this and this or whatever they are doing.
While I was just sitting with my back rested on the chair and my legs crossed on each other sipping my pineapple juice looking at the people working making the hall beautiful.
Ah! The perks of having people work for you.
The hall was decorated with red lime lights put at the corners of the hall, tables and chairs were placed which were decorated, flowers were placed on it don't know the type maybe it is artificial. Multicolored clothes were placed on the tables also the chairs. The tables and chairs were enough to contain millions well the hall is spacious.
Oh did I mention that red carpet was placed from outside to inside, everyone is opportune to pass there whether celebrity or not, my idea.
Everywhere is glittering with beauty, the restaurant itself added their own touch. They offered to give free food but I rejected and paid for it, they will go bankrupt if they ever do it. I'm not even sure how many people, maybe billions. 
I can't believe I made billions of dollars only for the sale of tickets, it was really shocking. I never expected that many to buy it. 
The stage was already set, colours was written on the background with my picture on it, I posed covering my eyes and blowing something on my hands and with different colours sprouting out in form of rainbow, it looks beautiful.
Well I decided to go with my mom's idea, ‘colours’. Reading the poem dad wrote to her made me picked it, it was amazing.
I never knew that, mom's old man could write poem; that is what I call my dad. He is really talented.
I was interviewed for the reason why I picked colours as my theme, remembering what I said made me smile.
   Flashback begins....
“ Why did you pick colours as your theme ? ” One of the paparazzi asked me. Camera clicking as light flashing on my face.
“ Well originally it is mum's idea so I picked interest in it because it is way of expressing my love to all my fans out there.” I replied with a smile.
“ How ? ”
“ The way colours are, the way beautiful they are, that is the way my love for my fans is, it's beautiful.  So you all should come on that day and celebrate love with me.”
    Flashback ends.
“ The boys are here. ” Bob came up to me and inform me. He was dressed in a red tux suit and well polished white shoe, a red rose was tucked in his left upper pocket. 
“ Bob you need to rest, go and meet your wife and enjoyed the rest of the day. ” 
“ Leaving you all alone will be more headache to me, anything can happen so no. ”
I rolled my eyes, he lacks faith in me. “ Trust me nothing bad will happen.” I reassured him.
“ I'm not taking that risk.”He shaked his head.
“ You can be paying attention and also enjoy the day from where you will be seated.”
He rolled his eyes and sigh. “ I will go bring the boys in. ”
“ You have not agree. ” I shouted since he has already walked far from me.
“ Whatever. ” that was his response.
It was not long, him and boys came.
“ Hey boys. ” I waved, smiling sweetly at them.
“ Hello, it is pleasure to meet you. ” Dexton said with his hands stretched to me.
They were all dressed in the same clothes, black leather pants and jackets making them look cool.
I was contemplating whether to shake it, he could recognize my hand or will he ?
I can't take that chance.
He got the motion that I don't want to shake, he brought his hands down and tucked it in his pockets.
“ That was awkward. ” He muttered silently but I heard him.
His friends laughed.
“ So did you guys get my email ? ”
“ Yes.” Ray said.
“ I hope you guys practiced it well, don't go out flunking my performance.”
“ We won't, when will we be performing ?” Ashton asked, holding his bass guitar.
“ Almost to the end of the show, so you still have enough time. Go and enjoy day with your dates.” I winked at them with a smile.
Ashton brought out his phone from his back pocket. 
I peeped into it, he was scrolling down his call log then he stopped when he got to a number he saves as weird nerd.
Who is referring to weird nerd ?
“ Who are you calling ? ”
“ It is none of your business, but if you want to know I will tell you. I'm calling my date, not everyone is single like you.”
I laughed a little, okay that hurts pretty bad. As if he is not single.
“ Ouch!... I just asked you a question, don't need to talk rudely.” I said with an eye roll.
“ I'm not the rude one here, you are. I'm not the one who refused to accept a handshake from a fellow human just because you think he is below you which he is not.” Ash retorted with his teeth gritting.
“ Ashton, stop it.” Eric said tugging his shirt, he flicked his hand away.
I scoffed. “ A simple handshake turned  into a big issue, I did not even think of such, I was only simply being careful.”
“ Careful for ?” Ash said with a scoff.
Careful of not being recognized.
“ I'm a very hygienic person, so I'm being careful with the people I touch.”
“ So he is a dirty person, is that what you are implying ?” He scoffed, “ it seems to me.”
“ Ashton...” Dexton called his name in a warning tone.
“ I did not say so.” I retorted, glaring at him.
“ You don't need to.”
“ It is pointless talking, have your handshake.” I said stretching my hand to him.
He eyed my hand for a while then laughed then say. “ I don't need it, I'm not the one that want to shake you.”
“ Well I do.” Dexton said stretching his out.
As I was about placing my hand on his, his hands got slapped away. It was Ashton who did it.
“ Have some pride, will you ? ” He placed his phone on his ear.
I dropped my hand down and placed it on my laps. Okay that was rude.
“ I'm coming back, I want to check if   Anna has come.” Ray said and walk away.
They all nod his head at him, Ashton attention was on his phone, Dexton's eyes looking around, twirling his drumsticks in his hands and Eric ehn...don't know what he is doing.
I felt a buzz on my chest where my bag was placed, I hanged my bag around my neck, a red small bag which matches my red sneakers. I was putting on a multicolored crop top and a black high-waist  trouser, it was a real definition of colour riot but I look good in it.
“ She is not picking.” He said to his friends.
“ Try again.” Eric suggested.
He dialed the number again then I felt the vibration again then I knew he was calling me, so he saved my number as weird nerd.
Jerk!
“ Excuse me please.” I politely tell them as I stood up then walk far away from them to receive his call.
When I'm farther away from them a little bit, which is impossible for them to hear me speak when I answered the call.
I coughed a little before talking, then I slide the call answering it.
“ Hello.” 
“ You are here already ? ”
“ No, I'm being bombarded with work. That's the condition my mum gave me to allow me to go out, so when I'm true I will be there.” I lied.
“ Like how many minutes it is going to take you ? ”
“ You did not even say hours,” I chuckled. “ I don't know.” 
I felt him sighing. “ Send me your house address, so I can come to pick you and help you with your chores.” He said.
I smiled. “ That's sweet, but don't worry. I will come. See you soon. ” I cut the call not wanting to hear what he has to say then switched off the phone.
I waited for some minutes then went to them, they were no more there.
Good.
People started trooping in, soon it became filled up and the program started.
•••••
“ So are you guys ready ? ” I said to them.
Ashton was looking at the crowd like he was searching for someone, I guess he is searching for me.
“ Hey, ready ? ” I snapped my finger infront of him bringing his attention back here.
“ Yes, just searching for my date.” he mumbled, still looking in the crowd.
Like I ask him.
“ See who is single now.” I said with a mocking laugh.
He rolled his eyes letting out a hiss. “ Is the show live ? ”
“ No, but it is going to be recorded.”
“ Okay, we are not going on the stage without wearing masks. We are putting on a mask.” He said bringing out a ugly mask, it was black and weird.
Too ridiculous!
“ It seems we both are in our minds.”
“ I'm not in your mind.” He said making me roll my eyes.
“ Anyways I have a masks prepared for you guys and it is pretty unlike the masks you are holding,” I told him, eyeing that masks with disdain.
“ Bob, the masks. ” I shouted.
He heard me, he came bringing the masks to me. 
“ This is it. ”
I took it and gave them one each. There were different colours. Yellow, green, orange and pink with different flowery designs.
“ Why did you give me pink ?” Ashton groaned looking at his mask with distaste. “ Do I look like a girl ?’’
I laughed hearing him say that, I deliberately gave him that.
“ You don't like the colour ?”
“ Why would I ? I'm not a girl , change it please.” 
“ Please change it for him.” I said to Bob.
He collected it from him and gave him a blue one.
They all wore the masks.
“ I'm going to go first with Eric since he is the one playing the keyboard. Then the rest of you guys will come when I have gotten to the part we discussed. Okay ? ”
“ Okay.”
 ~~~~•
Kye walked up to the stage wearing an headset. The crowd started cheering immediately they sighted her.
She smiled seeing how joyous the crowd are to see her.
“ Hello California...” She roared in excitement.
The noise grew worse, shouting in delight, jumping for joy.
“ Okay okay let's lessen our voice now, I know you all are excited to see me just the way I'm excited to see you. So how are you all ? Hope you are having fun ? ” She asked with her hands clasped together smiling.
Everyone was talking at once, so she could not point out what they were saying but she heard someone say I'm having the best time of my life.
She smiled when she heard that.
“ Okay , so the song I will be singing right not I have not sang it before. So you guys will be the first to hear it.” She said gleefully making the uproar increase.
“ I will be singing with this group of musician , they are really talented. So who is excited to listen ?”
The noise increase the more, everybody scream, bubbling with happiness.
Then suddenly the  stage light became dim not to make out what was happening on stage.
Suddenly the light came up, then she was visible again, this time she was wearing her purple flowery mask. Her head set was not on, she was holding her microphone , the body was white in colour, it was decorated with beautiful flowers and the head purple. 
Her hair was styled in a messy bun,  dyed in different colours. Even though the way she was dressed in different colours making it all look riotic, she still makes it looks pretty.
Immediately the light came up, Eric started playing the keyboard . He was playing melodiously, it was soft and pleasant. He strummed the chord of the lead guitar playing the tune of the song.
A guitar was strapped around his neck, soon Ray started playing the drum and Dexton playing his bass guitar.
When he has reached where Kye will enter, she started singing melodiously. When it was time for the chorus, Ashton sang along with her, patting the song.  
She was not expecting a rap there, but he made the song sweet. She flowed with it.
She ended it with singing in a soft, smooth and pleasant sound.  “ 🎶 I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we'll never ever part
That's the colour of my loveee.🎶”
Everyone started applauding when they ended the song.
Kye smiled. She was not expecting the song to be that sweet, it was a mixture of rock and pop.
“ Happppppppy Valentiiine!!!” She shouted.
She came down first, not waiting for the boys. Immediately she did, she saw Elle holding a bag.
“ Need this. ” Elle said.
She smiled and took it in haste muttering a thank you as she went to the dressing room. 
*******
Ashton changed his clothes to a red striped with black long sleeve shirt with a polo and wore a black jean finishing it off with a black snickers likewise his friend they changed to avoid anyone noticing them that they were the boys who played with Kye on stage.
He was looking for Kylie in the midst of the crowd. Then he heard his name.
He turned and he was gobsmacked when he saw the beautiful being standing he infront of him.
Kylie cursed Elle silently for giving her this dress, she wanted to dress simple. She told Elle to bring a simple clothes that will avoid suspicion but rather she brought a red short sleeve dress which stopped at above her knee, it hugged her body showing her cleavages and she was someone who is busty, the dress showed it well making her look sexy. She wore a white ankle strapped heels. She packed her hair in ponytail at least that will be the simple thing she will do. That's what she said.
The colours on her hair were still showing but it was not much like before. Her makeup was already on with her glass making it impossible for her to be recognized as Kye.
“ Hey.” She wave at him with a shy smile.
Bringing him back to life. He felt embarrassed staring at her like that. 
He forced his mouth to be closed, he was staring at her with awe. “ Uhm... Hi.”
“ Sorry I came late, the work was too much that it took me hours to finish. Hope you are not angry ? ” 
“ Angry ? No.... It just that you missed me play, it is your loss.” He said with his hands tucked in his pockets.
“ I did not miss anything, I watched it. You have a nice voice, I thought your voice will sound like the croaking sound of a frog.” Kylie said with a laugh.
“ That is why your brain needs washing, my voice is awesome.”
“ I see.” She said with an eye roll.
“ Yeah.”
Then the DJ started playing music, it was slow and soft. People started pairing themselves into twos dancing to the tune of the music.
“ I humbly asked for a dance from this pretty lady. May I have this dance with you, pretty lady ?” He said stretching his hand to her waiting for her to take.
Kylie looked around in search of who he was talking to, she knows he was talking to her but she acted like she didn't.
“ Who are you talking to ? ” She leaned closer, whispering to him.
Ashton rolled his eyes and say, “ You, of course.”
“ Me ? Hmm so what should I say ? Okay you may.” She said with a giggle.
Instead of waiting for her to place her hand on his, he grabbed her waist and draw her closer making her gasp. She went with the flow wrapping her hands on his neck and her head on his chest embracing the feeling of the music.
They started waltzing to the music, dancing each steps beautiful.
“ I never knew you are a good dancer, you are full of surprises.” She teased him raising her head up.
“ I'm so full of surprises.” He grinned making Kylie laugh.
“ Well thanks to my dad though, he made me learn it when I was 5. I always thought he was being wicked to me because he won't allow me to play as other five year old kids do. He made me learn a lot of things.” He said.
“ Well it paid off right ?”
“ Yeah it did.” He agreed with a smile.
“ So when you get home, thank your dad.” 
“ I will surely do.” He said with a smile.
“ So how did you guys form a musical band ? What led to it ? ”
As he was about to speak, Elle came interrupting their dance.
“ Kylie can I speak with you ? ”
“ Can't it wait ? ” Ashton asked rudely, glaring at Elle making Kylie shove him on the shoulder playfully. “ Don't be rude, I will be back.” with that he removes his hands from his waist, grumbling.“ I will be here all alone.”
“ Go play with your friends.”
He rolled his eyes. “ If you did not see me, I am no more around.”
“ Okay.” Kye nodded as a reply and went with Elle.
~~~•
“ So what do you want to tell me that you have to interrupt our dance ?” I said feigning annoyance.
“ Sorry...” Elle said with a chuckle. “I just want to inform you that I will be leaving tomorrow.”
“ Huh ? ”
“ I'm leaving this country to reside in another country to study there with my son.” She said.
“ Is it because Eric knew about Ricky ? ”
“ Yeah , it is part of it. I learnt from my dad that the reason of him going to jail was because of Eric's dad. After knowing the truth that Eric broke up with me to protect me make me want to get close to him again to give him another chance but that second chance will destroy my family, ” She said in tears. “ So don't hate him anymore. ”
“ I knew before now.” I revealed wiping her tears with my fingers.
“ And you did not tell me ? ”
“ I promise myself I won't meddle in you two's affairs, so I kept it to myself and I'm not sure you will believe me. Which country are you going to ? ”
“ I wish I could tell you but I don't want to. Because I know you might tell Eric which country am I and I don't want to take that risk.”
“ Okay, it's fine but we will still keep in touch.”
“ Yes definitely.” 
I hugged her, even though it hurts to see her go but I could not do anything. She felt what she is doing is right for her and her family then I have no choice than to let her do it. I can't tie her down, she has her life to life.
“ I'm going to miss you.” She mumbled on my shoulder, tightening the hug.
I was about to open my mouth to speak but someone beat me to it. “ Me too.” hearing the voice which sounds familiar made us pull away.
It sounded almost like...
“ Eric...” Elle said but it came out as a whisper.
 He walked up to her not saying anything and hug her, he held her tightly crying in her embrace.
Even though I knew it was my cue to leave, I don't want to.
“ I'm going to miss you, even though I know my dad will hurt you if we stayed together. I'm too selfish to leave you, I promise I will be more powerful than my dad's that he will not be able to stop us from being together.” He said. “ Will you wait for me ? ”
She did not respond, she looked at him with tears flowing down her cheeks.
He used his thumb to wipe it. “ Even if you don't, I will snatch you back from any man because both of us are meant to be, I will fight for our love. I will surely do.”
She hugged him back, nodding her head whimpering as she tightened the hug. “ I-I will.” her voice croaked as she said that in-between the sobs.
Okay now I can finally leave, I felt happy she will be leaving on good terms. 
I hope everything will be fine with them in the future so Ricky will be happy seeing his both parents happy.
