Chapter 10: Spoiled
"Felicia, I think we should talk about tonight. When you get this, call me so we can make a time and place to meet up. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a good night."
Felicia held the phone in her hand for a few seconds after listening to Dave's message. She looked down at the floor and took in a deep sigh. After shaking her head, she walked back into the kitchen, where Taylor was waiting.
Taylor looked up at Felicia as she sat down across the table. "What's wrong?'
"Nothing." Felicia said, humbly.
Taylor looked intently at Felicia again. "Yes there is something wrong." Taylor paused.. "Who was on the phone?"
Felicia looked away from Taylor. "Dave."
"What?"
"Dave."
"Are you serious?!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"What did he say?"
Felicia knew she couldn't really tell Taylor everything at that moment. Instead, she just shook her head.
"Okay." Taylor unconvincingly said.
Later in the night...
Taylor left for the evening and Felicia went upstairs. Always in the mood to express her true feelings, she grabbed her notebook. An outlet is exactly what she needed right now. She prided herself on being an artist first, and a singer second.
Singing in front of audience was just the outlet.
She thumbed through the pages of it and came across a song that she had wrote when she initially moved out to California. A song that had a deep and very soul-wrenching hook. As she looked over it, she thought this would be the first song she would have ever recorded. But it wasn't to be.
The song, entitled, "Spoiled" was about the breakup of her and Dave. Felicia's undying love and testament was all that she had after the split. So she thought she would write a song based on it. Needing Dave to be close to her was all she thought about. Everything about him made her crave his touch, his kiss, his everything.
See I thought that I could replace you
He can't love me the way you do
'Till now I never knew
Baby
[Chorus:
I'm spoiled
By your love boy
No matter how I try to change my mind
What's the point it's just a waste of time
I'm spoiled by your touch boy
The love you give is just too hard to fight
Don't want to live without you in my life
I'm spoiled
I tried to tell myself that I'd be over you in a week or two
But baby that was 'bout a year ago
I've never seen the word love so personified as I do with you
And that is why I just can't let go, oh no
[Chorus
Spoil me
And I would only be fooling myself if I tried to
Believe there's room for someone else in my heart
There ain't no way I'm getting over you
I don't know what I've been trying to prove
I'm hopeless, helpless when it comes to you
[Chorus
This song meant so much to her. Besides being the first song that she had ever written, it had that one extra bit of speciality.
After closing her book, she stared around the room. The four walls, the ceiling, the room as a whole. She shook her head and walked casually outside with her cell phone in hand. There was only person on her mind as she opened it. Felicia listened to the message again and called Dave to answer his request to meed her tomorrow morning.
