Chapter 13: Chapter 13
I sat there like a dummy, froze in shock of what she just said.
I thought he was just one of her random likes but it turns out to be really a crush, will it turn into live?
"You're kidding" I finally said
"No am not, am damn serious"she said
"Oh, you are"I asked sadly
"Yeah, I am"she said happily.
She's really crushing on him.
"Its bad right?"she asked
"No, not at all"I said
"Then why that long face?"she asked
"Am just tired from the fun I had"I lied
"I wish it was me, do you think he likes me too?"she asked
"You wouldn't be crushing on you"I faked a smile
"You're right" she said
I jumped on my bed and decided not to take my bath tonight. I was lost in thought, I couldn't help but think about what Alice said.
Maybe he's crushing on her too.
I drifted to sleep.
The concert day[Monday]
I woke up feeling refreshed, I stood up and gave Katy a morning pat, by the way Katy is my cat, my parents adopted her for me as promised.
We have been doing a lot of things these days because if the concert, Dave and Nikki also helped out and Alice seized the opportunity to get close to Dave, I kinda told her too, I decided to let him ho for Alice, I think that is the right thing to do.
Now back to the present.
My clothes for today are already arranged, I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth, I took my bath as soon as I was done, I dried my hair and combined it backwards, then I wore my clothes, a silver gown with black heels.I applied some make up and checked out myself and I was impressed with what I saw.
"Am hungry" I said and left my room
I walked down the stairs and the first thing I heard was:
"Wow, Jenny" mom said
"Good morning mom" I said
"Good morning, you loom sparkling" she smiled
"Yeah, thanks mom" I said
"But what about..."
"My dancing outfit, well, am not gonna wear them till its time for my dance" I cut in
"Seems like you got it all covered" she said
I was about to sit down when Jake called
"J..e..a..n" he said staring at me
"J..a..k..e" I imitated him
"You look sis" he said and I smiled
"I'm sure Dave would like to see you like this" he winked at me
I blushed as I heard Dave in his statement but I held myself.
I'm trying as hard as I can to let my feeling for him die but it won't. I sat on my seat and greeted dad.
I ate hurriedly but carefully, don't want to stain my dress, we were all set in an hour. Alice was dressed in a pink gown with black gloves and a beautiful shoe to match. She looked good.
We sat inside the car and the driver took off, I'm so excited, I have been planning this all week.
We arrived at the concert venue and I went backstage to talk to my team and yeah I have a team, were you thinking that I'll do the dancing by myself, no way. We rehearsed our steps.
I was kinda nervous about performing in Paris.
"Hi" a voice said
I turned back and was glad it was him.
"Hi Dave" I smiled
"You look gorgeous" he said and I tried not to blush
"Thank you, Alice is more beautiful" I said and regretted saying that.
"OK. I just came to check on you" he said
"Am fine, thanks" I said
"Mind if I stay here for a while and watch you rehearse" he asked
"Actually, we kinda need privacy, so.." I said
"Sure, I understand" he said and took his leave
That was close!
"Gather up guys" I shouted
Alice POV
"Why are you always checking outside" Nikki asked
"I'm looking for someone" I said
"Like?" She asked
"Emm.."
"Alice.."
I turned and was glad he dave came in
"You look beautiful"he said and I blushed
"thanks Dave you don't look bad yourself"I said
"Thanks for the compliment" he said
"You're welcome" I said with a smile
"Jean said I should come and see you" he said
Why is jenny always telling him to see me, can't he come on his own?
"Oh, OK"I said
"Are you busy" he asked
"She is"Nikki said
"Doing what exactly"he said
"Rehearsing"she said
"Come on am not seeing her rehearsing"he said
"Please Dave leave or you can watch" she said
"Alice you're up in five minutes "the staff said
"Yeah, thanks"I said and he left
Gosh, I never been so nervous in my life.
I patrolled my room nervously, unable to concentrate.
"You're nervous right?" He asked
"Yeah, that's bad right" I asked
"Not really its natural" he said.
"But I have never been nervous like this before, I have done a lot of shows but this one is different" I said
"Maybe its because if the change in environment" he said walking closer to me.
We were an inch away from each other and surprisingly he placed a kiss on my forehead and pulled me into a hug.
He's body is so warm.
"I think its better I start going" he said and left
Why does he make me feel this way.
Do I love him.
I sat down for a few minutes adjusting my clothes and make up.
The staff came in again and this time I followed him to the stage and saw Jenny and her team already set.
The concert began.
I had a great time singing and dancing a little but jenny was totally cool out there, Dave kept cheering for us, am getting crazy right now.
I didn't believe we had a lot if fans in Paris. It was damn cool.
Dave POV
I couldn't take my eyes off Jean as she danced to the rhythm, I couldn't help but cheer for her but I also cheered for Alice too, I was shocked on how she learnt how to dance and sing like that, well, Alice danced too but Jean was exceptional.
I don't really know why I feel this way but I will find out soon.
The concert was a long one but everything has an ending, it ended surprisingly cool.
I hurried into Jean's room as soon as it was done.
"You did great" I said
"Alice was good too" she said
Why does she talk about Alice whenever am with her.
"She's good but you're better, even the best" I said grinning
"Smirk addict, she was better too" she said
"Did you just call me smirk addict?" I asked
"Yeah, now please get the out of my room"she said jokingly
" really?"i asked
"Yeah" I said
"Well, let me think about it"I paused
"No" I added
And she surprised me when she chased me round the room.
"Come here, let me strangle you" she laughed
"Stop chasing me" I said
I accidentally tripped and fell while she stood there laughing.
She was about to walk pass me when I used me leg to block her path but she tripped and fell on me and we stared into each other eyes.
