Play My Song - Chapter 3

Rylie glanced at her watch and asked Sadie, �How long does it take for him to get ready? Jeez!�
�What if he�s already left? Maybe through some secret back way or something?� Sadie bit her lip and searched the lobby for any sign that he might have appeared.
�Doubt it. This isn�t New York or Los Angeles. It�s Minneapolis.�
Sadie rolled her eyes and replied, �It�s not that bad. What do you got against this state any way?"
"Oh please. I was raised in Texas. Do you really think I enjoy snow and cold?"
Sadie tried to defend Minnesota, "It's not cold all year round ya know."
"It'd might as well be." Rylie replied dryly.
They both sat in silence for a while, watching the basketball game that played on the tv screens in the bar. Sadie knew that when Rylie became snippy, to just drop the topic. It wasn't worth it to bicker with her. There was no changing her mind.
The girls both jumped when they heard the baretender ask, �Are you girls waiting for what�s-his-face?�
Sadie turned to face him, �Yea. But we�re not fans. We have a different reason.�
�And what�s that reason?� The blonde bartender asked curiously with a smile.
Rylie responded, �Sadie here is going to be a famous singer one day but she first needs to get noticed. So we�re here to give him her demo and see where it goes from there.�
�Interesting. So how about I hear you sing.�
Sadie exchanged glances with Rylie then replied, �What do you want to hear?�
�Can you give me some...Mariah Carey? She�s my favorite.�
�Mine too!� Sadie�s eyes glistened with delight. Mariah had always been Sadie�s idol and inspiration.
�Which song?� She asked.
�How about 'My All'?�
�Okay.� Sadie closed her eyes and cleared her throat, then began to softly sing.

I'd give my all
to have
just one more night with you
I'd give my life
to feel
your body next to mine
'cuz I can't go on
living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all
for your love
tonight


Sadie then waited for his reply. He held a smirk on his face as he leaned closer to her.
�Listen�, he spoke, �that was amazing! You�re just as good as Mariah herself. So, if you want to meet Mr. Popstar and get a deal, listen up because I can help you out.�
"Help me out?" Sadie raised her eyebrow as distrust filled her thoughts.
"Yeah just let me make a few phonecalls and I can set you up to meet him before he leaves for the show."
Still in disbelief, Sadie asked, "So now you're all chummy with him?"
"You'd be surprised how close you can get to a rich drunk person and his friends."
Sadie giggled, "Okay. Let's hear the plan."
