21 The Plan

Kyle's POV

I was lying on the couch in my dressing room psyching myself up for tonight's performance.I was a bit nervous as usual but also excited. I was not sure how the crowd would respond to my latest offering. I enjoyed working on this album more than the others and Micheal was convinced that it would go platinum in no time.The album would be officially released tomorrow and then I would be going on my world tour next month to promote it. James was convinced I outdid myself this time but he always says that every time I release a new album.

I wonder what Maya would have thought though. I wanted her to listen to it the night we had the altercation but we all know how that went. My mind kept wandering to Maya and I wished she was her to share this moment with me. Her soothing voice could calm a storm and her presence had such a calming effect. Her smile could light up a room and it could melt even the hardest of hearts.

I tried so hard to stay away from her, to forget about her but I couldn't. She was all I could think about. It even showed in my music, most of the songs were inspired by her. Her finger prints were all over this album. I could have easily named it Maya but I called it Heartbeat instead, cos that's what she was to me. she was my heartbeat.

There was a track I sort of named after her, it was called The Billionaire's Song. It brought such good memories-of Maya and I sitting side by side at my pianoforte, singing the song together. She even helped me write an additional verse for the song and we sang it a couple of more times in perfect unison. I missed sharing those moments with her, well just being with her in general.

I was convinced that Maya was it for me. Never had I felt such intense feelings for any woman. The chemistry between us was undeniable and I felt it the first time I met her, although she was unconscious at the time.Icouldn't stop myself from falling for her and I tried.It felt right somehow -I could't explain it-I just knew. I just knew that our destiny's were tied together. That we were meant to be. Maybe we had a few hurdles to overcome before we could finally be together and she was right I promised to fight for her so fight for her I will.She was totally worth it.

I missed her so much and I really wanted to believe everything she said to me earlier. Somehow I believed her but doubt was nagging at my insecure emotions. Maybe it was just my manly pride getting in the way but I didn't want to put my heart on the line only to have it ripped out again. Heartbreak sucks.

Maya was usually very straightforward and she spoke her mind. I was not the only one that seemed to be be affected by her charms it seemed to be everyone that she came into contact with.Including my best friend James sincejunior school, who just barged into my room without knocking.

"Hey buddy are you ready?!" he asked, lifting my legs so he could sit next to me.

"I was born ready man," I laughed as I sat up.

"Soo..did you and your bae hash it out or no?" He asked hesitantly.

"Not really..well she apologized for like the hundredth time and she insists that the Frenchman is a non-event, so I don't know hey," I shrugged my shoulders.

"She really cares about you man and she really is sorry.I'm surprised that you can't see that," James observed.

"I want to believe her but I can't risk getting hurt again," I raked my hair.

"Dude, if she said she's done with the loser then you just have to take her word for it.Maya doesn't seem to be one of those women that leads a man on aimlessly. But-if you're no longer interested in her then maybe I should make my move..?" James joked.

"Touch her and you're dead." I punched James lightly on the chest and we laughed.

"To be fair-she was honest about her feelings before-she voiced her doubts but I kept brushing her off.Although I think she more than proved herself after my accident," I stood and paced around the room.

"You said she barely left my side when I was in a coma and she was always at thehospital when I came to- considering her very busy schedule-and she was so patient with me, even whenthe doctor told me I might never walk again she pushed and pushed until-well the evidence speaks for itself.," I pointed at my feet. "She saw me at my worst and she still loved me. She never abandoned me." I voiced my thoughts.

"So what's the hold up dude? Just forgive her already! You know you want to," James wiggled his eyebrows.

"You know for once you've said something that makes sense," we laughed.

"So go get your girl man," Jamespunched me on the shoulder, "stop doubting and just go for it."

"I will but I hope she will take me back. I've been such a jerk-but I have a plan and I'm going to need your help," I smiled.

"That's what friends are for man. Lay it on me, I'm all ears," James said eagerly.

I laid out my plan and James was more than willing to help with the execution. I wasn't sure if it would work but all I could do was hope because I would be risking a lot if it didn't.
