Chapter 165 - 163: Future Plans II
"It's not yet a concrete plan as I don't think I can do a lot right now, being a student still. However, Edward gave me an idea from his offer, that is, to become a music producer and build connections in the meantime. What do you think?" Charlton shared as he asked Serena's thoughts about it. He was still feeling skeptical about accepting the offer as he didn't want to help other people if they will be competing with her.
Serena chuckled understanding his concern, "Although I can't believe Edward thought of asking you first rather than me, I think that you should accept it. Don't worry about me, in fact, I also have this plan in mind. I wanted to talk to him about me writing lyrics and creating the melody for other people to sing."
Feeling her excitement growing, she continued, "Now, won't that be more convenient? You be the producer, and I can also be your partner. Then, we can spend more time together without anyone saying anything about it. Business and pleasure at the same time!"
Charlton looked at her in bewilderment, "I do like the sound of that, but won't that be unfair to you? Letting other people sing your song that is."
Serena shook her head, "I'm getting tired of just hearing my voice singing. I also want to hear other people's voice. Besides, not all songs that I will write will suit me." she finished with a wide grin, while thinking, 'well, it's not like it would be difficult for me. Sorry but the bulk of the job still falls on your shoulders Charlton.'
"Well, if you put it that way, then I won't say anything about it anymore and just look forward to it." He replied, his eyes twinkling.
"Then we'll do it that way. By the way, I really like the song you wrote for me. Would you mind singing it for me now?" she teased as she wiggled her eyebrows.
Charlton blushed. "I think we should get dressed; it's getting late."
Serena laughed, "I thought you missed me? By the way, we still need to thank Edward for what he did. He requested that we record our new songs with his company, but really, I am not in the mood to sing that song again. Perhaps we can do an audition to get someone else to sing it?"
"If that's alright with you, then we can go with that idea. However, Serena, I don't really want anyone else to sing nor hear the song I made for you. It's very personal so… let's keep it just between us, ok?" he explained with some embarrassment.
"Ok, but I think we should give him a new one in exchange for that. Hehe…" she replied while her eyes were twinkling in mischief.
"You have a new song in mind? That fast?" he replied as he looked at her in astonishment.
"What if I tell you I have over a thousand in mind?"
Charlton shook his head, "stop messing with me. I think that's your hunger already speaking." He joked.
"but I'm telling the truth! Now listen, I'm really in the mood to sing this one. Though it would be difficult to make the accompanying music, it would be really really awesome and a step up from all the songs we or any other people made before. This song, I won't let anyone sing but us!" Serena excitedly explained.
Charlton feeling her excitement in waves can only happily chortle and nod his head as he pulled her to his lap and embraced her again. "Okay, let's hear it."
Serena feeling romantic wrapped her arms around his neck as she stared into his eyes. Her own bending in mirth. She wanted to laugh in glee as she thanked Starship in her mind for the beautiful song that truly reflects her feelings now. Then she began to sing.
"Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standin' here beside ya, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feelin' for you"
Then, knowing that the song will have high notes next, she moved from Charlton's lap to stand up as she started to dance while grinning from ear to ear. She was acting crazy, singing and dancing while naked, she knew, but she was just so happy!
"Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, whoa no"
Charlton knew that the song was very good, but he wanted to laugh. He never saw Serena acting this way before, but he really liked it. After singing that part, she pulled him to stand up too. Then, she wrapped her arms on his neck again. Understanding what she wanted, he placed his hands on her waist. Both of them swaying as she continued to sing while they were lost in each other's eyes.
"I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take you to the good times, see you through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do"
At this part, Serena unwrapped her hands from his neck, then she held his hands so that their dance will be more fun. Charlton on his part also started grinning as he swayed her.
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know?
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart"
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us, ooh
All that I need is you
All that I ever need
All that I want to do
Is hold you forever, forever and ever
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now…"
When she stopped singing, Charlton looked at her first to ask, "Does the song end there?"
Serena gave him an eyeroll.
Charlton laughed as he gave her a dip then he followed to kiss her.
