“Morning!” shouted J entering the studio.
“Ah, isn’t there a happy person” replied Rich, seeing his mate.
“Oh please” said J, who saw where the conversation was leading.
“Well ya better tell mate” grinned Abs. “We ALL wanna know how you hooked up with that bird.”
“Even you, Sean?” J tried desperately, but his soulmate laughed at his worried expression and nodded slowly. “Even me” he said simply.
“She seemed nice to me” said Scott. “Kerry liked her too.”
“Yeah, and as long as Kerry likes her” mumbled J.
“What ‘chu say?” asked Scott confused.
“Nothing, as much as your getting, nothing, there is nothing, nothing to tell, now let’s get moving.”
“Oh no you don’t!” said Ritchie, posting himself in front of J. “We won’t let it go at that.”
“Well…” replied J, forming a fake painful expression on his face, “We found out that .. erm… we haven’t got all that much in common after all, and eh.. I wanna stay here and she wants to go back to Ireland, and stuff.. and eh.. well.”
They all gave him a disbelieving look. “But J!” protested Abs.
“What if it’s real love!” added Rich. “I wanna live here and she doesn’t??!! Come on! That’s rubbish! That is no reason.”
“If I told you ten times I told you a million times, Rich, DON’T you tell me anything about love”warned J.
“Well I think he’s right this time J.” said Sean. “You can’t just let her go.”
“Even you, Sean?” J said again. “I am very disappointed in you.” When Sean just shrugged at that, he continued: “Why is it that you have some weird fascination about me and this particular bird?”
“Cuz we like her!” replied Scott, as if that were very obvious.
“You’ve only seen her once!”
“You looked really good together.” tried Ritchie again.
“Guys” said J, this time with a real painful expression. “Can we please skip to another subject?”
“Alright” replied Sean, giving the other lads a warning glance. “Let’s get to work.” (I can’t believe SEAN said that! LOL X’Nedra).
“You’ve done that very well, X” complimented her father. “Very nice indeed.”
“Thanks dad, but please, mom and you called me X’Nedra. I hate to be called X.”
“you didn’t mind when you were younger” her dad replied.
X’Nedra rolled her eyes. “Well I do now dad.”
“Alright, Nedra, it’s all fine. Well you know there’s this thing I wanted to talk to you about. Ah-well, let’s see, you know that I kind of freelance for different companies, well the thing is I kinda double booked myself here at Virgin now I got this full time deal with them, and I’ve also got a deal with the new departement of RCA, but I really can’t do that now, and they solved the problem, but they only still need an assistant producer, I was supposed arrange that, but now I can’t so would you mind to help them out for a week or so?”
“RCA?” X’Nedra asked.
“Yeah, they’re pretty good. You’ll like to work with them.”
“I don’t think so” replied X’Nedra, remembering J worked there with his group.
“Oh yeah J works there but thought you liked him” tried her dad, reading her mind.
“I like him, but the others…”
“Be professional, X. Otherwise I’ll never give you an opportunity again.”
“DAD! You’re blackmailing yer own daughter!”
“I know, but I can get sued if I don’t arrange this, c’mon X please.”
“Alright then” X’Nedra shook her head. Why did she deserve this? Why?
