"Ok we got it!" Tyson said with excitment in his voice. "You guys sounded great. Elisha can I speak with you for a moment." Evert said looking at her. "Umm, yeah I guess." "Good, met me in the dinning area in 5 mins." Evert walked out of the room with Tina close behind him. "Wonder what that's about." Matt said placing his guitar down. "I don't know." Elisha said in almost a wisper not making eye contact with Neron. "I guess Ishould go see." Elisha brushed past Neron who was also trying to keep his eyes off her as she walked out of the recording studio.

"Elisha my love." Evert said walking over to her and greeting her with a friendly kiss on the cheek like he hadn't seen her in years. "I have a teensy request that Ineed met by you." Elisha looked at him then over to Tina who had on her ever so bright smile from ear to ear. "Well, see hon. I need you to go to my other studio and re-record your vocal tracks. Eventhough I have state of the art equipment here there are some things that are available only at my studio in Hollywood. So I need you there like yesterday. Ok." "Yeah ok. So I go now?" "Yes you do so off you go and I'll see you later for photo ops." Evert and Tina walked out of the room. Elisha sighed and rolled her eyes. Her throat hurt from all her singing, she had never sang so much in her life, and her body hurt from her new trainer. And she was still pissed that they wanted to turn her into a Gwin Steffani look alike. She marched out of the room looking for the driver.

Elisha finally finished her vocals around 9, which by then her throat was extremely dry and hurt even more. She was tired and just wanted something to eat and go to bed. "That was great hon. I'll have these over to Evert tonight, and he'll let you know whats up in the morn." "Ok Tracy, see ya later." Elisha smiled sereclty hoping she would not have to set foot back here until next year. She walked out into the cool air of the evening. It smelled like rain, and she pictured her and Jen sittign on Jen's porch watching the summer rain drench the lawn, as the stray cats ran for cover. She missed home, but she was finally doing what she desired for so long.

Finally after waiting in line for what seemed like forever Elisha got her sushi and sat down at a empty table in the corner. "When I get back to that house I'm taking a nicce long soak." She though as she finished off her dinner. She glanced out the window at some dude who was druling over some star that walled past. Elisha didn't know who she was. She turned back to her food. "Man I hope people don't act like that with me." She though getting upt o leave.

"Hey Lisa, whats up?" Matt asked almost bumping into his siter in the hallway upstairs. "Nothing, I'm just beat. So if you don't mind can we talk in the morining." It was more of a command than a request. "Yeah, no prob. You'r ok though right?" "Yup, now out of my way, I'm going to bed." She said giving him a weary smile. Matt got the point and got of his little sister's way and headed downstairs with the guys.

Elisha cralwed into bed and though about her day tomorrow, photo shoots all day. They were doing the cd cover, and then most likely back to the studio for her. She sighed and drifted off to sleep.

Neron sat with his feet danggling over the edge of the pool, stairing off into nothingness. He and Elisha hadn't spoke since the kiss, and he begain to wonder if things would ever be the same. He convinced himself that he didnt like her like that, and that she was like a little sister to him. But the harder he tried not to think about it, the kiss came back. How her lips felt against his, and how she did kiss him back. He sighed and got up to go inside, quickly looking up to her bedroom window, but her light was off.

At that same moment Elisha was dreaming abou the kiss. She woke from her sleep and sighed, throwing her pillow over her head. She rolled over and glanced out the window at the pool, which was reflecting into her room. She caught a glimps a Neron walking from the pool into the house. She signed again and layed back down, rolling over on to her leftside. She closed her eyes to try to recature the much needed sleep she craved.
