Chapter 141 New Songs And A Hug

Pedrarruna Forest, Gray Mansion.

Theo just arrived from the studio.

He headed directly towards the recording studio to start working on his album production.

He already was familiar with the work of the sound engineer. He studied when he taught Aurora over the last weekend.

Therefore, Theo was ready to start recording the songs.

The only problem was that Theo still couldn't decide which songs he should put in it.

He needed to pick 10 songs, and so far he only chose one.

'The Scientist' was the only song guaranteed to be on the album.

"Come on! I need to pick these songs." Theo exclaimed out loud as he looked at what he had so far.

"I want a vibe like soft pop with a touch of upbeat. How about I make the first 5 songs with soft beat pop, and the last 5 songs with a beat more cheerful." 

"Let's start by choosing the second song."

Theo used his eidetic memory to remember all the songs he heard in his past life.

Suddenly, he remembered the second song it had to be on his album.

"Love Yourself!" Theo said out loud with a smile.

The song from Justin Bieber that he most liked it.

He knew that it would be the perfect addition to his album.

Theo picked up the guitar and and entered the record room.

He wanted to see if he could sing the song with high quality.

Theo positioned himself in front of the microphone and took a deep breath.

"Sylph, can you take care of the recording?" He asked.

"Yes, master!" She replied.

Theo closed his eyes and focused only in the song.

[For all the times that you rain on my parade

And all the clubs you get in using my name

You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake

You think I'm crying on my own, well I ain't

And I didn't wanna write a song

Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

I don't but, you still hit my phone up

And baby I be movin' on

And I think you should be somethin'

I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

And I never like to admit that I was wrong

And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on

But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

Cause if you like the way you look that much

Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

You should go and love yourself

And when you told me that you hated my friends

The only problem was with you and not them

And every time you told me my opinion was wrong

And tried to make me forget where I came from

And I didn't wanna write a song

Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

I don't but, you still hit my phone up

And baby I be movin' on

And I think you should be somethin'

I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

And I never like to admit that I was wrong

And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on

But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own...]

Theo's voice reverberated as he sang the song with his eyes closed.

His hands held the guitar as he played the instrument.

When he finished playing, he knew that this song would be on his album.

Theo exited the recording room and proceeded to play the record of him singing the song.

He noticed that he committed some mistakes but the overall score was good.

And the best part of this song was that it was easier to produce because only two instruments were being played together with the vocal.

Theo proceeded to pick the other songs.

By the time he had to go to the restaurant, he has already chosen another three songs.

'Say You Won't Let Go' by James Arthur.

'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran.

And 'Before You Go' by Lewis Capaldi.

These three songs were combined seamlessly with 'Love Yourself' and 'The Scientist'.

Theo was in the recording room singing 'Before You Go' to test if he could sing well.

[I fell by the wayside, like everyone else

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you

But I was just kidding myself

Our every moment, I start to replace

'Cause now that they're gone

All I hear are the words that I needed to say

When you hurt under the surface

Like troubled water running cold

Well, time can heal, but this won't

So, before you go

Was there something I could've said

To make your heart beat better?

If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather

So, before you go

Was there something I could've said

To make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go...]

Theo finished singing with a smile, he knew that his album started to take shape.

He never thought that someday he would be choosing songs to launch a music album.

But he enjoyed this process, he wanted to see the world singing these songs that already were a success in his past life.

Theo finished working on the album for the day.

He took a shower and went to the restaurant.

He had to admit he was a little nervous to meet Ayia after kissing each other the night before.

But the silver lining was that he chose to take things slow with her.

Theo figured that he should behave as always, he thought this way he wouldn't make Ayia sad.

Maybe he could hug her too to express he didn't forget about their kiss.

Theo was having these thoughts as he drove towards the restaurant.

Meanwhile, he was going to the restaurant.

Ayia and Shizuka also were driving toward the restaurant.

"Are you nervous?" Shizuka asked as she saw her sister with a worried face.

She heard what happened last night, and she was impressed with her sister's boldness.

She kissed the boy!

Shizuka could only shake her head in amusement, she hoped that her sister could be with her crush.

"Of course! What if he ignores me? What if he takes back his word and rejects me? What if we stop being friends because of it? What if I have to leave the restaurant because of it?" Ayia exclaimed as she drove her sports car.

Ayia was genuinely worried about losing Theo's friendship.

She was glad that Theo proposed to take things slow, or she didn't know how to act in front of him tonight.

"Stop! You know that Theo won't do that. Just be yourself and act normal. I believe that everything will work out in the end." Shizuka said with a calm voice.

Ayia took a deep breath and calmed herself.

She knew that her sister was right, the boy that she fell in love with would never do something like that to her.

"You're right, Shizu-chan! I will be myself today!" Ayia replied with a smile.

A while later, the girls arrived at the restaurant.

When they entered the kitchen, they saw Theo leaving the changing room dressed in his chef clothes.

Theo's silver eyes looked directly at Ayia's golden eyes immediately.

It seemed that time froze as they looked at each other.

A tacit understanding happened between them as they looked at each other.

The decision to take things slow.

Theo smiled at her and said, "Good evening!"

"Good evening!" Ayia replied with a brilliant smile too.

Theo walked to her and hugged the girl.

He didn't want Ayia to feel like he forgot about their kiss, so a hug was the most appropriate option to express that.

Ayia was taken aback by the sudden hug, but she hugged him back readily.

She could feel that he cared about her feelings.

Her heart melted even more for this boy.

"You look beautiful today." Theo whispered as he hugged her.

"Thank you..." Ayia replied in a whisper.

Her face was red after hearing his compliment.

Theo let go of her and smiled again.

"Good evening, Shizuka." Theo greeted the black-haired girl.

"Good evening, Theo." Shizuka replied with a nod of approval.

She was glad that Theo managed to act in the best way possible.

She would have to beat Theo up if he hurt her sister.

At that moment, the rest of the kitchen staff started to arrive.

Theo greeted them with a smile and acted normally.

Ayia was relieved seeing that Theo acting as usual.

She chose to be herself too and greeted everyone with her usual lively personality.

She would leave her relationship progress with Theo to fate.

She believed that everything would work out in the end.

And just like that, the two of them chose to be themselves as they tried to go through this hurdle of their first relationship.
