Unexpected

Chapter 19

Sasha was finally happy with the lyrics she’s been working on since they got home from Santa Barbara a couple of days ago. Things were finally falling into place, her past self is as gone as if it never existed, her mom was happy for the first time since her dad left, she was happy for the first time since her dad left and she had a future that looked nothing less than perfect right at that moment. This was it. This was going to happen. She wanted this, she wanted him and this song was to tell him that. She loved him, she truly did and there was no way her past was holding her back anymore. It was time to start her new life and she wanted to start it with Luke. Her phone vibrating on the table brought her attention back to reality.

”Hey Mel.”

”Hey Sash, what you doing?”

”Not much, working on some new music.”

”Oh anything good?” Sasha could hear how Mel was getting ready for a butt load of gossip.

”Yeah, I think it might be studio ready for tomorrow so.” Sasha’s face got covered in a wide smile.

”Something I’ve heard or is it only for Luke’s ear at the moment?” Melody teased, like she always did now a days.

”Actually he hasn’t heard it yet..” Sasha blusade at her own words.

”What? Why? oh is it a sort of serenade song for him? Cause that would be so cute!” Mel worked herself up.. Again.

”No, it’s not. It’s more of an I love you and let’s take the next step kind of song.” Sasha told her.

”Oh My God! Are you serious??! Really?” She could hear how Mel was jumpans up and down at the words.

”Yeah, I trust him fully and I know he won't hurt me. And he knows about my father so he knows how much it means to me.” Sasha told her.

”Wow..” Mel calmed down at that moment.

”What?” She asked, like her sudden reaction made her question the lack of support.

”I never thought I’d hear you say that in a really long time.” Mel was being honest, Sasha mistrust in guys ran deep and she knew that.

”Well it’s the truth and it’s how I feel.” She kept it simple.

”Good, you know I’m happy you’ve found Luke in your life right?” Mel asked.

”Yeah, you’ve told me a few times.”

”Oh yeah.. right. Well then I guess it’s for you to thank me.” She said with a big smile on her face.

”For what?” Sasha asked confused.

”Well I told you a thousand times that you two would hit it of but you never listened to me.” Mel explained.

”Okay, thank you for having a thought Mel.” Sasha laughed.

”That’s not what I meant you.. i***t of a best friend.” Mel did her best at an insult.

”Well you didn’t really do anything, mom did by forcing me to move in with him.. Okay that was a sentence I never thought I’d say.” She told it more to herself than Melody.

”I don’t think anyone ever think they’d say that.” They both laughed at how weird things had actually been happening for both of them.

”If you would have asked me a few months ago where I thought I would be at this moment it wouldn’t be by a grand piano writing songs for my first album, in this amazing house that I share with my amazing boyfriend and our parents.” Sasha said with a goofy smile on her face.

”And I would be pregnant with a pending engagement.” Mel added and her words put Sasha’s daydreaming to a halt after a little while.

”Yeah, exactly.. I mean who would have thou... Wait did you just say engagement???”

”Yeah, we started talking about it yesterday since it’s pretty much what his parents are expecting from him right now. And I don’t know, it would give some stability to our situation but I don’t think I’m ready to get married I mean it’s such a cliché.” Mel told her best friend about what had happened.

”And you are so not a cliché.”

”And that is what everyone will think. That we only did it because we got knocked up and not because we’re in love or any of that.” Mel tried to fight her hormones.

”But you are and that’s all that matters right?” Sasha asked to make sure.

”Yes, I know but married at nineteen? me?”

”Well did you ever expect any of this to happen to us at all?” Sasha asked and Mel had to admit that she had a point.

”I’ll take famous popstar over pregnant teenager any day.” Mel pointed out the difference of their situations.

”Fine, how are you doing with that whole thing anyway?” She asked.

”Well, I’m still in shock about my mom.. she is weirdly fine with it all.. still!!!! I think she must have hit her head or something.” She giggled a little.

”Why is it so weird that she would be okay with it. I mean something like this might be what she needed to realize that she has to be there for you?” Sasha put the idea out there and it did make sense a bit.

”Why are you so smart at times?”

”At times? I’m always smart.” Sasha said with pride.

”Mhm yes sure Sash.” Mel messed with her.

”Hey!” Sasha played along with her best friend.

”Sorry but it’s true and you know it.” They had always been like this, joking around like that.

”Okay fine..” Sasha said and laughed.

”So you’re gonna sing the song to him tomorrow?” Mel asked, bringing the conversation back to the original topic.

”Yeah that’s my plan.” She answered her.

”And then what? Have you made any plans for after the studio?” Mel hinted.

”Well no, why? do I have to?” Sasha started to panic.

”You do realize that you’re gonna be having s*x tomorrow night right? Are your parents gonna be home? Are you even doing it at home or taking in at some hotel? or, oh, the car! I recommend the car thing. Totally hot.” Mel started giving suggestions that Sasha turned red after hearing.

”Mel!” She said.

”What? This is valid things you should be thinking about.” Mel told her, making Sasha think things over.

”I don’t need it to be right away I just want him to know that I’m ready and that I love him and nothing’s gonna change that.” Sasha said.

”And he’ll get that but he will hear the let’s have s*x thing louder cause let’s face it. Luke is still a guy and guys want sex.” Mel told her, not wanting

”I guess.. So I have some things to figure out.” She said in a low tone.

”Yeah you do.. Talk to you tomorrow on what you come up with before we head to the studio?” Mel asked.

”Sounds great, bye Mel.”

”Bye Sash.”

As soon as she hung up with Mel she started to figure all that stuff out. She was lucky that it was Friday tomorrow and Friday always meant date-night at the Harris-Wilson household. Their parents usually went out for dinner or some event that was being held that night and never got home before midnight so she could have her perfect night with Luke just not the whole night. But that’s what you get for secretly dating your mother’s fiancés son, she thought to herself.

The next day came and she was ready for the whole night, take out picknick by the pool followed with a lot of candles that she had already placed all around her bedroom. This was it. And she was finally ready for it. The day went by like it usually does but by the time we were standing in the studio to record more tracks for our albums my nerves started to kick in. Recording had never made me this nervous before and neither had singing to Luke. So why was this gonna be so damn different?

”So Katy mentioned something about some new material Sasha, we are all ready when you are.” Mike said and smiled at her. She weakly smiled back before getting the guitar out of it’s stand and went into the booth and sat in front of the mic. She took a deep breath before she strum the first chord of her oh so personal song that meant more to her than anyone would ever know. Her eyes finding Luke at times during the song, her eyes starting to water and Luke was feeling so moved by her words. She truly loved him and he loved her. No matter what had happened in their past, their future would be good as long as they were together.

”Wow Sasha that was truly an amazing song.” Mike said as she finished the song.

”Thanks Mike.” She answered but she kept her eyes on Luke who was standing there pretty speechless at the moment.
