Sing to me
Sing to me.
Your poetry is magical and your sweet, sweet voice is a soothing balm.
Write to me.
Sing to me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Gavriel looks up from the page and I see the confusion. I clear my throat and down my shot before speaking.
“It’s a song I thought I had made up when I was a kid but seeing this, I think Luca might have written it or maybe it’s a song our mother would sing to us and he remembered it.”
My head is spinning and my heart is racing. Luca has been all alone through his childhood, remembering our parents.
Remembering me.
When Silver comes back she looks between us and asks, “Is everything all right?”
“Yes, we’re great, but we were wondering about this song you’d like Sia to sing. Is it a nursery rhyme? Or do you have a backtrack to go with it?” Thank God for Gavi thinking on his feet because I don’t think I would have been able to think of that with the way my thoughts are jumbled.
“Yes, it’s his childhood nursery rhyme, but he has a track to go with it. It sounds similar to ‘Bravado’ by Lorde. Is there a way to hook up my phone to the system so you can hear the track?”
“Of course. Sure.” As we listen to the chords of the song play I can’t keep the smile off my face.
Tonight, I’ll sing to my brother and let him know he’s not alone anymore. I just hope it doesn’t blow up in my face.
It’s seven o’clock and I’m ready to head out, but Carla is still getting ready. I love the bitch, but if she isn’t ready in five minutes, I’m going to strangle her, leave her body here all dolled up, and go out. Morbid, I know, but I’m pacing back and forth with pent-up energy. I need to see this through and—
“Fucking chill, Sia! You’re making me feel like I’m about to go to a court hearing or some shit. Chill. The fuck. Out.Chica.” Carla’s amused and frustrated voice calls out from the restroom. I hadn’t realized I was pacing in front of the open door.
“Well, excuse me! This isn’t a beauty pageant, bitch. Hurry the hell up, I don’t want to be late.”
Laughing, Carla purposely starts moving even slower. I swear I’m going to throw a shoe at her.
She must see my thoughts on my face because she walks over to me and grabs my shoulders.
“Calmati, everything is going to go perfectly. You have the song and you’ve got the track. You have your whole plan down to the tee but, babe, you need to relax, okay? You have your man with you. Me and Marco and your cousins will be there too. You’re not heading into this on your own. Besides, once your brother meets you, he won’t be able to walk away. Trust me. You’re a beautiful, strong, crazy woman who would do anything for her loved ones. I’m so glad you walked into Medusa’s that day. We may not be blood, but you’re my sister through and through.”
Damn, now I have to repent from all the death threats I was mentally giving her.
“Me too, C. You’re my favorite woman and I’m sorry I imagined strangling you.”
She laughs and slaps my arm.
“Really, though, I am grateful for you. If you hadn’t hired me, I wouldn’t have survived here. Probably would have had to go back to Texas. Now hurry your sexy ass. I want to be there early.”
“Why do you want to be early? On time is perfectly acceptable.”
“On time is late and early is on time. At least that’s what I go by.”
Rolling her eyes and mumbling something about a twat. “Okay, I'm ready, let’s go.”
I swear I didn’t see her do anything that required another thirty minutes.
