Chapter 4.
The album was set to be released in a month from now. It wasn't finished because the band couldn't decide on the last song. Caleb had informed me that at the start of the recording process they made a pact that they would only put on songs that they all loved. So far each of the songs was agreed upon until now not everyone was 100 percent for the last song. So they were going through the other options. In the mean time they were focusing on the release on the first single 'sex on fire' that would be released after they shot the film clip at the end of the week.
"Sex on fire is probably the best song we've ever made," said Nathan as we sat on the porch. He was sitting across from me with a glass of wine. I was holding the camera as well as asking the question. Rob was inside with the others, technically he should have been filming but I liked to do these interviews with least amount of people as possible. "Caleb wrote the song so many times we ended up saying to him give us the original one and we recorded that one."
"What do you think the song is about?"
"I think that it's about what Caleb thinks sex would be like, cause I'm pretty sure he's saving himself for marriage, it was like his idea of what it would be like."
"Thanks, I think I've got what I need," I said, "Do you think you could send out Caleb?"
"When did you become so professional?" he laughed as we walked back in the house.
A few minutes later Caleb walked out with two glasses of wine. "Wine?" he asked. I took one of the glasses and thanked him. He sat in the chair that Nathan had just left.
"We're talking about sex on fire today; tell me how the song came about?"
"Honestly, I don't know. I wrote it when I was recovering from shoulder surgery and I was on some heavy pain killers. I would just wake up in the morning, my soong book would be next to me with new material in it."
"I think people will thing the songs kind of corny but I mean if they've ever had really good sex then I don't think they could say that it's corny." Said Caleb
"Nathan said he thought you were saving yourself for marriage?" He nodded, "Is that because of your religious beliefs or personal reasons?"
"Both I guess because I only want to be with one person and I want to give myself to them completely. You think that ridiculous?"
"No I don't I think that's beautiful, more men should be like you."
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Are you saving yourself for someone?"
"I'm not sure, I could but I'm not sure, I guess I'm just waiting to do it with someone I love."
I placed the camera on the table leaving it on but stopped recording. "I get what you mean though. When I was in grade 10 we had to watch this movie about waiting til you married to have sex. This one guy who was interviewed said that he had slept with lots of girls before he was married but his wife was saving herself. On their honeymoon he said that he hated the fact he didn't wait because his wife gave him something that he couldn't return. So I understand wanting to give yourself to someone."
We stayed out there for almost two hours talking about nothing and everything. We only went inside when dinner was on and it was too cold to stay out there any longer.
"Feel how cold my hands are," I said putting my hand against his cheek.
"Shit there freezing," he said taking my hands in his and rubbing them till they warmed up.
After dinner the six of us Nathan, Jared, Matt, Caleb, Adrianne and I sat watching television. The phone rang in the living room. No one moved to get it I had learnt that they screened all there calls. The ringing stopped and I heard the beep go for the answering machine. The group on the other end of the line started singing Happy Birthday, someone had clicked mute on the TV and everyone was listening to the recording. Shit I leaped over the lounge and ran to the phone. I picked up the phone as quickly as possible and the recording stopped.
For as long as I can remember every time we had to wish someone a Happy birthday my mum would gather us together and we would sing Happy birthday down the receiver it was embarrassing. Yes.
'Thanks, mum.' I said when they had finished.
'My baby is eighteen!'
'Actually here I'm still seventeen,'
'Oh, that's right I forgot I was just excited.' She wanted to know everything that was going on here. If they were being nice, how rock stars lived. After I confirmed her suspicion that groupies were all ways around the house and I didn't remember the last time I saw them sober we hung up. I walked back to the couch.
"It's your birthday?" said Caleb.
"No, its tomorrow mum just forgot the time difference."
"Were you going to tell us?"
"Probably not, I don't like to make a big deal over birthdays,"
"But eighteen is a big deal your legally an adult," said Jared. The problem with Matt and Jared is they look in the earlier twenties but they're brains function like pre pubescent boys.
"You can legally bum fuck,' added Matt.
'Ok I'm going to bed before either of you to start to reminisce,' I got to the door before I turned around to say, 'and don't even think of doing anything tomorrow for my birthday.'
