Late Night Jitters
"That poster really does look great Devon". Ana comments as Devon moves the poster with and her Jett over to the side of the couch.
"Yeah, you two look awesome." Devon glances at it one more time and looks back at Ana. "I can't wait to put it up outside of the restaurant." He smiles at her.
Ana puffs out her cheeks and smiles back kind of nervously.
"Hey…" Devon says noticing her expression. "Are you sure you're up to performing at this opening?" He looks at her.
Ana nods. "Yeah, Sure, can't wait."
Devon notices she doesn't sound all the way certain. He steps towards her and puts his hand up. "I mean it's still totally up to you. I don't want to put pressure on you or Jett." He moves his head to the side and continues talking.
"It's just the fans are really excited to see you two perform. Especially Jett." He looks back at the poster and then at Ana. "And I think this could introduce new audiences to the both of you."
Devon then pulls out his phone and looks down at it scrolling for a few seconds. He turns the phone towards her. "You should see the comments on Social Media. You guys are generating a lot of buzz. People can't wait to see the return of Jett."
Ana smiles at Devon and tries to mask the nervous feelings she is having on the inside. She had talked with Jett earlier about their upcoming performance that was a little over a day away. They had both admitted they didn't have much experience singing together and were nervous. They had initially agreed to try and convince Devon to get a couple of other artists to perform. But when they presented this idea to him, he showed them the poster featuring a picture from their shoot and talked about all the support that Jett was receiving online.
This caused Ana and Jett to then change their minds and decide to go through with the performance. But Ana still had a nervous feeling in her stomach about it. She hadn't performed publicly in a while, except the one time she stepped in to perform for Fen when he was late for his showcase. She was feeling very nervous about performing again and this time with her father, who she hadn't sung with much.
Ana looks at the phone and nods and smiles at the comments that Jett had received. She knew that Devon was excited about helping Jett make a comeback, and she didn't want to disappoint him.
Ana grabs the phone and scrolls through more comments smiling at all the positive comments that Jett was getting. She laughed at some of the more amusing ones. She hands the phone back to Devon and folds her arms, nodding and showing her approval.
"The fans really do want to see Dad." Ana motions with one of her hands, "And if that's the case we have to give them what they want."
"Cool." Devon looks at her and smiles. He taps her on the shoulder. "I'm glad to see you guys are back on board with being the act for opening night. And I truly believe you both will be great together." He looks at his watch. "Oh, I didn't realize how late it was getting. I'm going to finish up some work in my office and call it a night." He smiles at Ana again. "Good night sis."
Ana smiles back "Good night. I'm going to probably get ready to call it a night as well." She watches as Devon goes up the stairs, his excitement about the opening of the restaurant on full display.
After he's gone up, Ana sits down on the couch in the living room and takes a breath. The nervous feelings were still there. Ana looks around and then pushes her hair back from her face with her hand. She had wanted to try and be there for Devon regarding the opening of the restaurant, but she couldn't shake the nervous/uneasy feelings she had. She felt like she needed to talk to someone about her feelings.
Ana turns and looks back up towards the stairs and wonders if she should go up and tell Devon how she really feels. She needed to talk to somebody about how she was feeling. A thought hits her and she turns her head to the side, wondering if she should make that move. She takes a breath and then reaches into her purse, grabs her cell phone and dials a number….
