The strange phone call...

An offer for the band

She opened her eyes, but closed them again because of the sunlight. She could feel the warm of Mike’s body and felt such secure that moment. She thanked God for being there and hugged him.

“Mikey, get up! The sun is shining…”

“Good morning, love…”

“Good morning to you too!”

“What time is it? I feel like I’m sleeping for days.”

“It’s 8.30 am. Come on, we should get up before anyone sees us like this.”

“Chill out hon, who’s gonna come here now?”

“I don’t know, maybe an old man doing his morning walk in the park. Ok, get up, get up!”

“Fine, I surrender.”

“I surrender to your heart babe/Do anything that you want me to do/Please be tender I’m in your hands girl/This is a feeling I never knew…” she started singing.

“Rainbow, right?”

“Yep. One of my favorite songs!”

“I see we have good mood today!”

“Of course we have! We had a great time last night after all…”

“Haha!”

“I could stay awake just to hear you sleeping/and I’m wondering what you’re dreaming…” he said in a melodic voice.

“Love you baby. Love you two times, baby/Love you twice tonight!” and she winked.

“Ok, if you want to participate in a song competition it’ll take us a long, long time.”
and they both laughed.

They continued talking in sing song with songs from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Queen…, their favorite ones.

They packed their things and left the remote corner to get to the main park where as they saw had gathered lots of people. It was a young woman talking about something. They saw the big sign which was saying:
