April 3rd, 2016: Day 56 of Touring
“Levi, they’re waiting for you.”
The sound of his tour manager’s voice reverberated through his earpiece. Flashing a thumbs up at his assistant, he looked around the room. Everyone but him seemed to be running around, hands waving and eyes crazy getting everything in place, making sure the show went off without a hitch. It was like creating a little piece of Heaven each night.
Adjusting his earpiece further, Levi bounced on the balls of his feet, eyes transfixed on the spot on the wall opposite of him. It was showtime. It was time to go make an entire audience, an entire stadium, fall in love. Then again, that was part of the magic of it all. That was why he loved music, why he adored performing. That shit was his lifeblood. There was no better high on Earth than being in front of a crowd. In a world of drugs, of booze, of long nights and short days, it felt like a miracle in disguise to have something like performing, to fall back on. It kept him sane.
“What about this ‘special surprise’ were you talking about earlier? Hm...” The tugging of his girlfriend’s hand at his arm pulled him out of his pre-show reverie. Turning his head to meet her curious gaze, he pressed his lips to her cheek. “Well I guess you’ll see. I can’t go spoiling it now, can I?” Running his hand through her blonde hair, he pulled her towards him and pressed another kiss to the top of her head.
It felt like such a long time since he had last felt at ease, in such a state of tranquility. He was performing at Madison Square Garden tonight. He should have felt nervous, jittery, but with Ophelia by his side... there was nothing he couldn’t do. Maybe that was the disgusting effect love had on the brain, or maybe it was just the fact that she was there every single time he needed her... but there was nothing he feared. Not tonight. Tonight would be perfect. Rubbing his palms together, he blew on them as his assistant pulled him away from her, pushing him towards the right wing of the stage.
Flashing a glance at Yulissa from across the room, he jutted his chin towards the curtain. See you out there, he mouthed. Leaning close to his assistant, his eyes bore into hers. “Did you set up that thing we talked about? I want to make it perfect. It has to be perfect. Just press record fifteen minutes from now.”
“Thanks everybody for being amazing... now, I have this song, I have this song I’ve been meaning to play for you guys. You’re going to have to be patient with me... we’re gonna slow down this tempo a bit--” he breathed into the mic, his voice smooth and melting as his band members stepped away from their instruments. A stage attendant had run out and deposited a stool behind him just five minutes ago. Now was the perfect time.
The sound of screams ricocheting against one another drowned whatever else he was thinking in his mind, out. He knew it was the right decision, the right time. He had been waiting for months to tell her this, but he wanted to be sure... he wanted to know without a shadow of doubt he meant it.
“So I’m dedicating to this song to someone very special... she’s actually backstage. You guys may know her--” he paused, waiting for the screams of his fans to cease. They all knew what was coming, and it was no secret he and Ophelia had been dating for about a year or so now. But they were the apple of Young Hollywood’s eye. The golden couple.
Face lighting up in a grin, his gaze flew to the giant screens projecting a video of Ophelia backstage, watching the show, hair thrown up in a messy bun and eyes wide as she watched the camera pan to herself on the megascreen and back to the monitor where she watched him performing onstage. “Hey baby!” he grinned, tossing a quick wave to the camera. “I hope you like this. I was up all night last night writing this before you landed in the airport. I’m so glad you’re here. This one’s for you...”
With that, his fans screams ushered him into the next phase of the performance.
Sitting down on the stool at the piano that had just been rolled out, he closed his eyes, pulling the mic closer to his mouth.
“Have you got the time? We could do dinner and wine I could compliment you But that would take all night...”
His voice crooned and he swear he couldn’t hear a single scream in the audience. Heart thumping in his chest, he continued. His fingers drifted over the chords on the piano with ease. He had been up all night practicing this same song. He wasn’t even sure if it was totally finished... but he just knew he had to perform it. It was the right time.
See, I'm just tryna be somebody You got me in love so deep No, I don't got to do these things But you make me... You make me wanna be romantic You make me wanna be a star You make me wanna act different I love you for who you are
Opening his eyes at last, he watched Ophelia on the megascreen as he sang, his lips spreading into a slow smile as he watched her reaction. She was bent over, hair falling in front of her face. He couldn’t tell if she was laughing in disbelief or crying. The entire audience seemed transfixed by the megascreens at either side of the stage as well.
You make me wanna run circles around you So glad that I found you You make me wanna be romantic You make me wanna be a star
Finally she lifted her head in the recording. He was now entirely sure she was crying, tears of happiness that is... Singing loudly, the rush of endorphins from performing flooded to his head and he wasn’t sure when the last time he sang and meant it was until this day.
You make me wanna say things I never seem to say Make me ask why I'm always acting this way You make me wanna do things I never seem to do Never said those three words But I say'em to you
Finishing the song, it took him a moment to realize the entire audience had risen to their feet before the deafening sound of screams met his ears. Stepping away from the piano, he pushed his hair from his forehead as beads of sweat slid down his face.
“Y’all, I’m going to be right back. I have to tell someone very important to me, something very important.”
Running backstage, he fully intended for the cameras to stay rolling as he held out his arms for her to run into. Pressing his lips into hers, he closed his eyes. “I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a while... but God, I really love you.”
