Ch6
We scooted out of the limo towards a tall high class building. It had twenty floors, each full of extravagant paintings and sculptures. You had to be rather rich to live in here, or in my case, famous.
"Miss Lily, Mr. James nice to see you all again, and one piece Mr. James I do applaud you." The manager welcomed us in with a friendly smile.
"Hey Carl, do you know where the rest of our band is? Won't be able to perform without them you know." I grinned. James started looking at the giant chandelier like he always does when we're under it.
"You know" James started "One day that chandelier will fall" He pointed up to the thin chain holding the giant chandelier above the ground "And I am not going to stick around to help clean it up." I couldn't help but laugh at Carl's failed attempt to smile.
"Well, James can you go back to the limo I think I left my song lyrics on the seat." My eyes avoided his "Hey if you cant find it at first, just come back to the suit, I will be there waiting."
"Uh- sure Lily, B-R-B" He took off.
"Ok Carle try to stall while I get everything set. You sure everyone else is already up there?"
"Yes, he won't know what hit him." He winked and I ran to the elevator hoping in and putting the key in where it said floor 20. You can't get up there without a key or the manager helping.
The elevator doors opened and I saw balloons, streamers, and banners that said HAPPY 16 BIRTHDAY JAMES!
"Lily you all are back early! Crystal doesn't have the cake yet and Brandon is still working on the present, I am trying to finish up the decorations AND on top of that" The red head threw her arms in the air "Sam, he's struggling with the booby trap you wanted set up in front of the elevator." She pointed to the dark brown haired boy struggling with a bucket.
"Uh- ok plan B, time for Carl to give James a job." I buzzed Carl.
"Yes?"
"Hey Carle, plan B."
"Okay." Then he buzzed off.
"Alright" I pointed to the red head watching me "Tiffany, call Crystal and see if she is on her way, then call Brandon and see how far he is on the resent." She saluted and went off. I turned towards Sam who seemed clueless "Sam, make sure the pizza is on its way, we have music, and drinks." He nodded and smiled.
"It's about time I get us some real music. What about the trap?" I winked at him with a mischievous smile.
"Leave that to me." Then he ran off as well. I rubbed my hands together and looked at the failed trap attempt "This is my specialty."
In the Lobby
"Why can't I go up there?" James questioned Carle.
"All this time you waist with music and you can't help the janitor?" Carle shook his head.
"I don't want to clean bathrooms." The boy sighed.
"I am a little surprised that you don't want to clean the ladies room." He turned away from the wide eyed boy.
"I- uh I mean if he really needs help then might as well help out while I still can." He sped walked to the closet.
"The janitor's closet is the other door." The man chuckled.
"I knew that." James threw up his arm in defense.
Crystal
the black haired girl peered around the front door. She saw the coast was clear and walked as fast as she could to the elevator.
"Hey Crystal, whatcha got there." James walked of to the girl with her back towards him.
"You know James you should really keep your nose out of other people's business." She kept her back facing him. His footsteps were getting louder coming towards her and she tried to cover up the box with the cake as much as possible. Then she turned around.
"Hey, what's in the box?" Crystal heard the elevator ding and was opening.
"OH MY GOSH IS THAT MILEY CYRUS!" As James turned around she bolted to the elevator door and hoped in. "Sorry James, have fun with the toilets." She waved as the doors shut.
The elevator doors opened on floor 20. "CAREFUL" Lily yelled. "step over the wire unless you want the bucket to tip on you."
"Ha, nice Lily." Crystal stepped over the wire. "So I got the cake now just for the present, right?"
Tiffany ran in with her clipboard. "Cake, check" She looked around "Decorations, snacks, drinks, music, CAKE" She glare at Crystal who threw her arms up in defense. "check, now all that's left is the present and James."
"Yeah where is Brandon?" Crystal asked as she fell into the couch.
"He is in his bed room." Tiffany replied and moved towards the kitchen with the cake.
Back to Lily
I made my way to Brandon's room that was filled with electric guitars and amps. He is the electric guitar player in our band, could you tell?
"Hey what's up? Almost done?" I placed my hand on his shoulder.
"One more peace aaannd" He placed the last piece of our band playing under a model of the London eye. "Done!" He sighed with relief.
My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the whole thing. It was a model of the London eye they came up to waist height with a small model of our band performing under the London eye. It had me and James standing together singing, Brandon with his electric guitar, Crystal on the guitar, Tiffany on the keyboard, and Sam on the drums. It blew my mind.
"Dang, remind me to call you for and art projects I have to do." He leaned back on the floor and winked.
Now it was time for the party to start.
Tell me what you think? review please :)
