Chapter 130: Fourth night (part 2)
Giselle kissed Leonardo with urgent haste, and he was enjoying himself... It had been a long time since he had hung out with his usual crowd. This time, it was a smaller group, as only three people remained. Leonardo was there with Tobey and Miranda Kerr, sipping on drinks when Michelle's arrival surprised him.
-So, you were on a cruise?- Leonardo asked, receiving a playful punch in the chest.
-I invited you.- Giselle replied.
-Well, yes, it was supposed to be just a girls' plan, something private, but Monaco entered Adriana's plans, and she told me this morning… It seems the big race is coming up soon.- Giselle said, taking a sip of her mojito.
Leonardo looked up and saw Giselle's group of six stunning women gathered around the rock singer who was currently in vogue. He let out a chuckle while shrugging. Tobey's wide eyes were glued to the scene, but he remained silent beside them.
-Well, the guy is doing well.- Leonardo commented.
-You've never been to one of his concerts?- Tobey asked.
-Well, no, I've been busy.-
Tobey studied his friend more closely.
-I went to one, and it was one of the best I've ever attended… He arrived half an hour late, and the crowd was desperate, many people were whistling and shouting. When he finally showed up, the entire venue fell silent. The first song was enough to send them into a frenzy; the crowd roared and danced, forming circles where people ran back and forth, bumping into each other. It was absolute madness. I can say few have sent chills down my spine like he does.- Tobey said to Leonardo, who raised an eyebrow.
-Is he that good?" Giselle asked, intrigued since she had never been to a Billy concert either.
-He's called the Prince of Rock; I'd like to get his autograph.- Tobey remarked.
I just hope he doesn't kiss you.- Isabelli joked.
-Oh, the kissing… well, it's a bit strange.- Tobey commented.
-Kissing? What kissing?- Miranda asked.
-When he finishes a performance or does an interview, he kisses his fans, regardless of their age. Apparently, he has caused quite a sensation in the industry with this. In one interview, he was asked, 'Why do you do it?' and he simply said, 'Because I want to.' Since then, they started calling him the prince of rock.- Tobey explained.
-I'll introduce you later; he's going to sing for Adriana now.- Giselle said. The conversation shifted back to the tournament, but Leo asked if she was dating Adriana, to which she shook her head. Yet, she began to doubt due to the way Adriana laughed with him and leaned into him. Wasn't Adriana with that yacht guy? What was going on?
...
-Oh, look, everything is ready for you to work your magic.- Princess Estefanía of Monaco said, seeing two suited men calling her to discuss the situation.
-So, what will you do?- Adriana asked.
-Sing and just sing. - Billy replied.
They handed him a computer, an electric piano, and an acoustic guitar, along with an electric one. They held concerts in this space.
Billy logged into the cloud and downloaded some tracks he had prepared; among them was the band's track, and all that was left was for him to sing. This time, he searched for his lost details. While he organized everything, the organizer gave a few words, announcing that Billy Carson would sing for Adriana, who blushed at the attention of the others in the room.
He stepped onto the stage, the voices reverberating. He played the piano and composed while everyone watched. Onstage, he tested the piano for five minutes, then followed with the electric guitar.
A beep was heard.
-This song is called 'Sex on Fire' (Kings of Leon), from my new album.-
His eyes fixed on the audience, sitting in a chair, there was nothing left to say. Billy didn't need to dance or make elaborate moves; his level-ten singing was enough to drive people wild, infusing every note with his emotions. This time, his voice would hit like a hammer, sweeping everything away in its path.
🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶
Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the kiddie like play
Has people talking, talking
You, your sex is on fire
🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶
...
The beginning was strong, with no dancing or poses, just him in a pink shirt, watching his table. The women felt every emotion emanating from Billy, a passionate, private, exciting, and intimate sexiness that sent them spiraling into a frenzy. His words were charged with fiery thoughts as he continued, warming the hearts of the women in the room.
Jessica's cheeks were flushed, and she could feel her heart racing; the image of a red room, completely dominated by Billy, made her gasp softly. She grabbed Adriana's hand, who jumped at the sight of Jessica's state, but she was no better. Many people wore an air of bliss, as if stars infused each sound, every note felt like a hormone igniting the women who watched in delight.
When he paused and laughed while singing, the collective gasp was enough for everyone in the room, especially some older women and the men who weren't enjoying the music to see the bewilderment unfolding.
The high-pitched screams from a few women were a signal that everything was all right.
-He's so good, darling.- David Beckham commented.
It's really good.- The woman replied, gripping her husband's arm tightly.
...
Billy's charged air followed with a hard hit of reality, imprinting in his thoughts a passionate, intense sexiness, and the already heated atmosphere became madness for everyone present. He knew he had to keep this up during the next songs; the best way to incite a person was by flooding them with emotions.
🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶
The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying
You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶
...
By the time he finished the song, Jessica was beside herself, crossing her legs to avoid jumping up, but repressing her emotions was even worse than letting go. The sensations washing over her felt intoxicating and wild.
She pressed her cheek against Adriana's, and the older woman could feel how slowly Jessica was breathing, the girl was warm against her skin. Adriana tried to compose herself but couldn't help but stare, entranced. "She has improved," she thought, feeling a frenzy that was unnatural for anyone.
What happened with Billy was that while a typical band would have another decent song after finishing, Billy had a legion of magnificent songs; each one he played awakened interest with his extensive repertoire. For instance, the Rolling Stones' songs would rank from 1 to 5 as a 3.7, a 3.2, then a 4.9, 3.9, and 5.0… it was a rollercoaster ride; many artists had limited repertoires.
But Billy was a steady 4.0, 4.0, 4.9, 4.2, 4.8… he kept hitting the audience with songs that excited people; each song was a blow.
-See, I told you he was good. - Tobey commented, listening to the cheers; the cocktail party had transformed into a disco party, all thanks to one man.
-Yeah. - Leonardo snapped back to reality. - Now I see why the fuss. -
Giselle couldn't help but be amazed by the power of his singing; the boy was like a hurricane, unstoppable. She couldn't deny his charm; she saw him differently now, that much was certain. The lazy gaze he had when he didn't want to talk was captivating. The rumble of his voice was like a sexy lullaby.
🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶
Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest
And you, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶
...
As the performance ended, the crowd's cheers erupted. Billy was more composed now; the adrenaline had subsided, leaving him in a state of simplicity that felt refreshing.
He took a glass of water, arranging his posture.
