°·…¤Chapter 7¤…·°

Nick was standing in the control room with Donna and the rest.
After Faith's vocal warming is over, it's time to start off her recording.
The song name is 'Just My Christmas Wish'.
It was written by Faith.
Nick never knew that Faith had written this song until Donna told him.

"She's a talented girl. This song...although it's simple, it expresses a lot and I guess true feelings were put into it when she first wrote it." Donna explained to Nick about the feel of the song.
Nick picked up the paper that was laying at one of the chair and started to read the lyrics.
"It's just her wish that she's writing about...and it's real." Nick said.
"Really? That's nice to know. Not many people nowadays believe in this Santa thing except for little kids."
Nick just smiled at Donna.
When the music started, everyone was quiet.
Faith began to sing and Nick was watching each and every little reaction shown on her face while she was singing.


When I first heard of Santa
I was really curious
They described him
As the big guy who was always in a red suit
And that he will give you a present on Christmas
If you were good
Since then I always waited for Christmas
And wish that Santa would give me a present
Maybe a doll or a toy soldier
And it'll made my day
But he never came
[Chorus]
*Chorus*
Maybe he's just too busy
Traveling round the world
To visit those children who had the privilege before me
Maybe I just have to wait
And he'll come
And bring me my wish and my dream come true
A doll for a present or a soldier
Isn't much to me now
And my wish for Christmas
Would just be able to see him
In his red suit
And maybe a ride in his sleigh
It's not too much to ask for
It's just my Christmas wish
Just my Christmas wish..... [fade out on second round]
I never stop believing in him
But as I grew up
People told me
That Santa is only a children's dream
Maybe,
As they had never seen the real Santa before
To me,
Believing is seeing
And he does exist
[Chorus x2]

After she had finished, Nick smiled to himself.
"Whoa..." he thought.
"That’s great! I don't know the effect would come out so good,� Donna praised as she signaled to Faith that the recording was over.
"Hmm...Over? It's only the first recording..."
Faith thought as she put her headphone back to the proper place and went into the control room.
Donna had a big grin on his face as Faith entered the room.
"That is very good, Faith. And I guess the first recording is enough."
"Really? But isn’t there any flaws whatsoever?"
"No. It's perfect, trust me."
"Great. First time I got a song done without trying twice..." Faith smiled.
"You deserve a good lunch...how about having lunch later?" Dave, one of the guys said.
"That's a good idea." Nick said.
"Well, how about 2:00pm?" Donna asked.
"I am fine with it." Faith answered.
The others agreed with the time and place and left the studio.

Nick and Faith went up to the 3rd floor to meet up with Mandy and Kathy.
Along the way, Nick walk closer and held Faith's hand.
To Nick's surprise, Faith did not let go!
"As you had said..." Faith looked at him.
"...Follow your heart..." Nick smiled and gave her a peck on her face.
"When did you write that song?"
"A few months back. I love it but I think Donna must have thought that it's a bit childish..."
"No! I mean, this song is great. Donna kept praising you when you were in the recording room."
"Really? What did she say?"
"She says that although this song is simple, it expressed a lot and that you must have put your real feelings into it. And I told her that it is real! It's your wish."
"You told her that? Now she'll see me as a never-grow-up-kid."
"No, she won't. Trust me."
Faith smiled and tightened her grip on Nick's hand.

As they reached the 3rd floor, Faith let go of Nick's hand.
"Don't let her know..." Faith whispered.
Before Nick could say anything, Mandy came out of the studio.
"Finished recording?" she asked.
"Yah..." Faith said.
"That's fast...well, Kathy will be done in a while, wanna have lunch later?" she asked and walk to Nick and put her arm around Nick's waist. Nick slipped away from her and pretend to walk over to the studio to look through the glass window to see Kathy.
"We'll be meeting Donna and the rest for lunch later at 2:00pm." Faith said.
"That's good...so Kathy and I will join you guys then?"
"Of course." Nick said.
