Alexander watched Serena leave, grinning to himself he thought. " Stage one complete."
"SERENA!" Melvin exclaimed, pulling her to the bar, " Who was that man you were talking to!"
" Chill Melvin, he is with CLB recording label, they want to offer me a contract." Serena brushed off Melvin's worry. " Look, I'm tired I'm going home now."
"Alright Serena, you be careful."
" I will Melvin, no worries."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena went to sleep that night happy. She had won the major part of the competition, she had a chance at a fantastic future, and she had done it on her own. On the verge of sleep she remembered that Darien would be waiting for her online. But she was just to tired to get up.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena woke the next morning to the phone ringing. Groaning she waited for her mom to answer before she realized she was back at her and Darien's apartment and not her moms. Grabbing the phone she rolled onto her back pushing the covers down from her face.
" 'Ello?"
" Serena! Where have you been?! I've been trying to get a hold of you for almost 2 days now!!!" Darien's angry voice rolled over the line.
"Darien?" Serena sat up pushing her dishevled hair from her face. " What time is it?"
" It's 10:30, now back to my question Serena, where have you been?"
" I've been at the club Darien."
" I thought I left a message for you to get online last night when you got home."
" Well I didn't check the messages when I got home last night I'm sorry."
" Sorry! Do you realize this will be the 5th international call I've made?!?!? I don't know how we are going to swing the rent this month with these phone calls."
Serena grinned a little grin at his tone. " We'll manage Darien, I know we will. Look I'm sorry hun, but it's 10:45 and I have to meet Alexander at the Crown at 11:30, I've got to go get ready. Mwah, I miss you, come home soon.!" With that Serena hung up the phone, humming happily she stepped into the shower singing to herself. Completely ignoring the madly shrilling phone.
~*~*~*~ The Crown Rose~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena walked into the Crown to see Andrew talking to a customer at the bar. She stood there a minute letting her eyes adjust to the change in light. She was just about to talk to Andrew when she felt a hand on her waist. Jumping slightly and turning she came face to chest with Alexander.
Taking a couple steps back she laughed, " I'm sorry you scared me!"
Grinning Alexander removed his shades " Now that's one I've never heard before!"
Both of them laughing she directed him to one of the booths farthest away from the arcade games.
" Okay Serena, here are some things we need to talk about. One is the fact that our executives are going to have to have several demos of you performing different genres of music. Your choice. Now I must tell you they are already impressed with the demo I did of your solo the other night. They are even more interested because you seem to be more comfortable when you write your own lyrics." He looked up to find Serena staring at him with big blue eyes. " What?"
"Alex, why do you look so familiar?"
" Um, I don't know Serena, why?" Alexander shifted in his seat uncomfortably, getting nervous under her scrutiny.
" Hey! What can I get for you two today!" Andrew chirped happily, Alexander sighed, thankful for the interruption.
Snapping out of her trance Serena grinned at Andrew. " I'll have a DP and a, um, number 12, what do you want Alex?"
" I'll have a water and a number 4 please."
" Alright! I'll get those orders right out to you!" Andrew walked away, stopped looked
back at Alexander, shook his head and went to turn in the orders to the cook.
" Hey Lita, you recognize that guy Serena's with?"
" Not really Andrew, but from here he kinda looks like my old boyfriend."
" Well how about this, he knew the menu and what he wanted without even looking at it. I know I know him from somewhere and I am going to figure out just where." Andrew's eyes glinted in evil contemplation.
