Mixed feelings by S. N. Nina Arthur (beach read .txt) 📖

Like the lightning bolt I remembered her, she was there when I sang on an occasion. Where my mom was a host, her name was Olivia Carl, my mom’s boss treated me like his daughter. My mother told him that I can sing, so he requested me to perform, So I did. Olivia was a guest there; she saw me singing and praised me. I don't personally know her, only once I met her and I never saw her after that. I didn't say anything to her. I turned around to face the people who were curious to hear me sing.

I looked at munchkin and smiled. Her innocent face relaxed my nerves a bit.

I remembered the song which I recently liked, Looking at every one maintaining eye contact with them, I was clearing my throat.

Song - Desert Rose

[Rising High Note](mine)

I closed my eyes while doing the high note, I guess my nerves are popping out on my neck. Pressing more I sang without breaking.

[Music]

[Note] (me) I continued to do another note while she was backing.

[Note] (backing vocalist Olivia)

[Verse 1]

(I opened my eyes)

(I Breathed out while singing the lyrics)

[Note] [backing vocalist]

[Pre-Chorus]

[While I’m singing the song, I saw a gentleman at the last table, looking at me with those mesmerizing green eyes. They had an intensity in them that I started sweating, I wasn’t breaking eye contact, he wasn’t breaking it either.]

Continuing the lyrics 

[That jawline, I just want to trace my finger on it. I once wanted to feel his skin against mine. His Sharp and hard jawline was giving me a hard time, I blinked a few times to get out of it. I shifted my gaze on someone opposite to me)

[Chorus]

(Lyrics)

[Note] [backing vocalist]

[My Note with her]

(closing my eyes tightly I sang my high note).

[Verse 2]

Regarde nous

(My eyes met his again)

Les mêmes joues

Toi et moi, tous les deux les mêmes

(Like he understood what I’m saying, he was watching my every move, my hands, my face without blinking)

Plus de joie, en rentrant dans le bled

[Pre-Chorus]

I Continued The lyrics 

[Chorus]

(He is very handsome and hot too, he was wearing a black Armani suit, talking to someone sitting opposite him. The man reeked of dominance and authority)

[De…….] [Backing Vocalist]

[Bridge]

[My grip on mike increases with my voice and high notes]

[my Bridge Note]
 

[Chorus]

Lyrics

[Outro]

(My knuckles turned into White, my eyes weren't leaving him, I could see him gripping his glass of water. His jaw clenched and a nerve popping out on his forehead and on his hands)

(I closed my eyes)

(My Note)

End.

****

When I opened my eyes, everyone stood up and I was greeted by applause from the crowd, praising me for my skills and voice.

"Thank you," I said shyly, Olivia came to me and hugged me. "you sing so well, It amazing to watch you sing like an angel dear."

"Thank you," I smiled, walking back to my table I see Rory clapping and smiling at me, I sat down on my chair.

“You know you have a beautiful voice, if you utilize it you can be a popular singer, make it as your passion and career Venessa,“ he said.

I just smiled at him.

"You sing well," Ariel said and kissed me on my right cheek,

"what's that song called?" He asked taking a spoon of his meal.

"It's Desert Rose "

"Is it a new song?"

"Yes, I think it released recently."

"Love it," Ariel said, looking at me.

I smiled at her, "Oh...So, my munchkin liked the song hm… Then I have to sing it every time I come to your home!"I said, tapping my chin.

"Yes, yes," she said with excitement.

"Okay, I will sing this song for you, and you have to dance for me then deal?"

Nodding and grinning "Deal," she replied and I grinned.

"Oh! I forgot to ask how's Mr. blaze? I heard he's sick now."

"He's fine, it's just the flu."

"Your Mom?"

"She's Fine, Too,"

"Tell me about the business,"

He sighed, "stressful"

"You need to take some rest, and you're not a machine to work all day without taking rest Ro, you look awfully weaker than before."

"I will."

"You should or else I have to put a babysitter for you."

Ariel laughed at it, "Daddy gets it, haha!"

I laughed with her, "yeah, so funny" he got irritated,

"Okay, no laughing" I put a finger on my lips,

Ariel also put a finger on her lips.

"Hm…(I suppressed my laughter.) what was your project about" I diverted the topic,

"It was about a product I've been working lately."

"what product?"

"It's a shower gel…"

I could feel someone's gaze on me. It was so intense that I had to look back. Whatever Ro was telling me wasn't reaching me.
