CHAPTER 20

"What does this mean Joey ?"

"I was going to tell you..."

"Joey, please tell me I misunderstood"

"I decided to stop singing"

"But why Joey ? You are successful and you love what you do !"

"Charlie...I love to sing but if I continue it means that I would almost always be on tour and I don't want to miss one more moment here with you and Ruby. I already miss too much."

"Joey you are doing a huge mistake. Please don't stop music. You love it and you are just amazing when you sing. You can't just throw everything like that !"

"Charlie..."

"No Joey, please. Anyway, you won't miss anything more. I will always be with you even if it's difficult compared to my work but I swear that I will never let you go again without me"

"Charlie..."

Charlie gets closer and captures Joey's lips.

"You will call your record label and tell them you want that your contract remains"

"I don't know what I would do without you"

"Maybe mistakes"

"Yeah, probably a lot of mistakes"

"The next time you have an idea like this, tell me before I discovered"

"I promise"

They kiss slowly until Joey begs Charlie to let enter her tongue. Charlie takes Joey to the bathroom and whispers "Let me show you what it means to take a shower for two".

During the afternoon, Charlie and Joey walk on the beach hand in hand. Suddenly, a group of girls approaches them.

"Oh my god ! She's Joey Collins !"

"You are awesome and your songs are so beautiful !"

"Please, can we take a picture of you ?"

Joey suddenly feels uncomfortable and turns to watch Charlie;

"Hu...yeah of course"

The girls take some pictures, they thank Joey and then leave.

Joey takes Charlie's hand and watches her.

"That's the reason why I wanted to stop. I did not want you to have to endure being spy as I am."

"Joey, I told you I was okay with that and I will always be okay"

"To say 'I love you' is not enough to express what I feel for you"

"Then write me a song"
