Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald looked at her surroundings. Still not believing she was in New York City. She was chasing her dreams. Ever since she was a little girl, she had dreamed of becoming a famous pop star. And now, here she was, the house keeper's daughter, on her way to the top of the charts. It was fate, she knew it.
She walked down the streets, slowly. Trying to take in every sight and every smell. She loved be on her own and independent. It felt great to her. She had her demo tape in her pocket, she was on her way to the Virgin Records building. She was determined to get an executive to listen to her demo tape.
She stopped and looked up at the tall building, erect before her. 'Here goes everything,' she thought, holding her demo tape tightly against her chest. She opened the tall, glass doors and slowly walked in.
Ethan Winthrop sat at his desk, looking through a heap of papers lying on it. He sighed loudly as he heard the door open. "What is it Myrna?" he asked, not looking up from his papers.
"Oh, I'm not Myrna."
"Oh, excuse me," Ethan said laying his papers down and looking at the beautiful woman standing at his door way. "I'm very sorry. I'm Ethan Winthrop."
"I know," Theresa replied. "I've read all about you in magazines. My name is Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald," she said extending her hand to him, "and I have a demo."
"A demo?" Ethan asked, cocking his eye brow.
"Yes, it's just a few songs I wrote. It's pop music. The woman at the front desk told me to bring my demo to you."
"Okay, hand here. I'll put in the player."
Theresa eagerly handed over the demo tape and Ethan put it into his player. Theresa's beautiful, sugary voice flowed out of the player.
When you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Baby, I'm so into you
Darling if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind
But it's just a
Sweet, sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again
But it's just a
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There's not beginning and there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming but I'm no sleeping
It's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
"I really like this," Ethan said. "I think I could land you a record deal. Of course I can't guarantee it, I'm not the head honcho, after all. But I will do everything I can to get you signed."
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you so, so much! You don't know how much I appreciate this!"
