Chapter 2: Cooperation
Mr. Smith went to the recording room and grabbed a Epiphone acoustic guitar. He walked out the room and handed it to me. I put my hand out and reached for the guitar. I pulled up a chair and sat on it, with the guitar on my right leg. I put the guitar on a angle a little bit and strummed to see what the pitch of the chords was.
"May I change the chords?" I asked looking at Mr. Smith.
"Go ahead," Lexi droned.
I changed the pitch and strummed the guitar strings again.
"I'm ready." I said looking down at the guitar. I started playing noted and started to sing.
"Sometime we fall down, can't get up. We're hiding behind skin that's to tough. How come we don't say I love you enough? Till it's to late, it's not to late" I said going more into the song. "And were all staring down the barrel of a gun. So if your life flashed before you, what would have you wish you would've done? Yeah, we got to start looking at the hand of the time we've been given here." I was still signing for a while and I noticed I got Lexi's attention. I finished my song about 2 minutes later, I stood up with the guitar in my hand.
"Thank you Mr. Daniels." Mr. Smith said while turning to Lexi.
"You can call me Micheal." I muttered.
"Thank you... Micheal." Mr. Smith said while correcting his self. "What did you think?" Mr. Smith asked Lexi.
"I guess this can work. I might need to make some little changes though." Lexi replied.
"What's wrong with the way it is!" I shouted.
"When you were signing it it sounded plain. Try to slide when you are singing the major parts in the song. Like when you said 'we only got 86 400 seconds in a day to turn It all around or throw it all away.'" Lexi said with a little bit of attitude.
"It doesn't need any sliding in that part. It sounds fine." I answered.
"I'm not going to argue with this. Sorry but I'm declining your offer Uncle Smith." Lexi walked out the room before I grabbed her arm. She turned around and stood still with a pissed face.
"Okay. We can change that part." I mumbled.
"I don't care about that. It's your attitude I'm worried about. If you can't make any changes in things, there is no point of me wasting my time."
"Look... Can you just give me a chance." I asked politely.
"Give Micheal a chance Lexi." Mr. Smith remarked.
"Okay! But if your not going to cooperate with me, then the deal is off." Lexi said turning away from me. She opened the door and walked out.
"That went better than I thought It would have. Look Kid! Don't test Lexi! Piss her off, no record label for you." Mr. Smith said in a serious tone.
"Yes sir." I opened the door and walked out the room. Lexi had tan skin with dark brown straight hair that goes to curly on her ends. She had a side bang that it near her left eye. Her eyes were Hazel and she dressed like a casual kind of girl. She had on a blue tang top with light blue straight legged jeans. Lexi had on a silver necklace that was a heart and a silver bracelet. I looked to the right and saw Lexi all over a guy. He was probably her boyfriend, they kept hugging and pecking each other on the lips.
"Pretty girl isn't she." I heard Mr. Smith say behind me.
"Not my type." I replied.
"You two have a lot in common."
"Like I said, not my type." I turned to Mr. Smith asking when we would start recording.
"Tomorrow."
"Okay."
