Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Fan’s surprise!

[General POV]

In Texas, Cece Cooper– Sheldon Cooper's 14 years old niece, was glued in front of the laptop, sitting on the living room floor with the laptop placed on top of the coffee table. Georgie Cooper Junior, Sheldon's older brother, walked to the living room and said with a thick Texan accent, "What are you looking at Cece?"

The girl didn't even bother to reply to him. "Still hate me for not lettin' you fly to California huh?" Georgie shook his head and then walked away.

*Ding*

"It's up!" Cece received a notification on the Entertain website, and clicked on the music video immediately. Not only her, but most members of Edward's fan club clicked on the notification at the same time the second the video was uploaded.

Lily, the fan club president, giggled as she saw the notification. "He works...really really fast!"

The fan club members knew about Edward just filming the music video in the evening, and had to hire his friends to act in it as it was a last minute whim. They felt included when they were notified by the staff members, and had been eagerly anticipating the video to be finished.

Most of them thought that Edward would upload the video tomorrow. None of them thought that he would upload it after people usually finished their dinner.

[Billionaire- Travie McCoy + Bruno Mars]

The video started with a short scene of Luke and Manny sitting inside the mansion, talking with each other, accompanied by violin music.

?? ?? ??

Manny: "Last week I was so bored, I bought 200 Lego sets. It didn't help, so I called the Lego company itself, and made them build me a giant Lego Castle in Norway."

Luke: "Last week, I was so bored, I bought the LEGO company."

"Pfft-" Cece chuckled after she saw the short skit. Immediately after the butler left the duo with the drink that turned out to be a grape soda, a warm feeling of wholesomeness gushed into the audience's heart.

?? ?? ??

Suddenly, the scene cuts to Luke sitting on a sofa with his ordinary clothes, watching the movie 'The Dark Knight'. His imagination was disrupted when his father called him, "Edward! Come on! You need to go to school!"

"Coming!" Luke, who played a young Edward Newgate in the music video, grabbed his bag and rushed to the door after pausing the TV. Slowly, the music morphed from a violin into a guitar. The scene cuts into the teenage Edward sitting on top of a skateboard ramp, strumming his guitar as he sang.

"?? I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad~ Buy all of the things I never had??"

His soulful voice transported the listeners, especially the adults in a tough spot in life. A feeling of nostalgia arises within them, which makes them remember their childhood before they understood how the world works.

"??I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine??" Edward picked the guitar again, and the scene cuts to Luke waiting for a bus to go to school while carrying a violin case with him, where he met Manny in the bus.

"?? Smilin' next to Oprah and the Queen??"

As Edward crooned, the audience was mesmerized, "?? Oh, every time I close my eyes!! I see my name in shiny lights, yeah ??!!"

"??A different city every night, oh, I swear!! The world better prepare for when I'm a billionaire??"

A rap bridge occurs in the melody, transitioning the song from vocal melody to a rapped verse.

?? Yeah, I would have a show like Oprah, I would be the host of

Every Day Christmas, give Eddie your wish list

I'd probably pull a "Angelina and Brad Pitt"

And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had shit??

The scene moved quickly from a snippet of a mustached Luke becoming a tv host and giving a giant teddy bear to Enid who's dressed like a woman in the 70s.

Edward walked by the skateboard park and threw a few keys to the people while lip syncing the song.

"??Give away a few Mercedes, like, "Here, lady, have this"

And last but not least, grant somebody their last wish."

He chuckled as he said that and continued, "It's been a couple months that I've been single, so– You can call me Eddie Claus, minus the "Ho, ho"??"

Taylor who was watching the music video with Selena fumed. Abby in New York was also irritated. Both of them have similar thoughts about the line.

"Did he just call me a hoe?"

The music video continued with a scene of Luke who was going to school to meet up with Enid inside the bus. He looked bashfully at her before the scene cuts into Edward rapping again.

"?? Get it? I'd probably visit where Katrina hit. And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did. Yeah, can't forget about me! Everywhere I go, I'ma have my own theme music! ??"

"What does that mean?" Jenna asked as she watched the show. Pepper who was nearby sighed and said, "He's criticizing the relief organization who was really late in helping the victim. They even did it half-assedly when the tragedy hit."

"Oh cool." Jenna's eyes twinkled in admiration as she heard it.

The music video continued with snippets of Luke imagining to be at a dance ball for the rich elites with Enid as his partner, and suddenly, in the real world inside the bus, Jenna teased him– bullied and made fun of him a little.

The song transitioned back to the vocals.

"?? Oh, every time I close my eyes!! ??"

Phil bopped his head along as he listened to the song.

" ??I see my name in shiny lights oh, yeah, yeah! ~ A different city every night , oh, I swear !!The world better prepare~ for when I'm a billionaire~??"

"Oh, oh ,oh, when I'm a billionaire! Oh, oh!"

The scene that played over the vocal was Luke practicing with the violin before he was lost in his imagination again. This time, Jenna became the villain attacking the city, so Luke had to turn into a superhero to stop her.

Abraham and Jacob watched the music video together in the football field with the other football players, and they grinned. Jacob said, "So Ed DO wants to be Batman since he was young!"

As Edward transitioned back into rapping, so did the scene. It focused more on him helping the people around him, with a couple of shots of him singing directly to the camera.

"?? I'll be playing basketball with the president, dunkin' on his delegates

Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette

Toss a couple milli' in the air just for the heck of it

But keep the fives, twenties, tens, and Bens completely separate??"

The President chuckled when he heard the lyric. He needed that little laugh after cleaning up the government bodies after his assassination attempt. He tweeted, quoting the tweet of the music video lyric and said, "He did, in fact, dunked on me."

The tweet got a lot of reactions from thousands of people, which turned the obscure music video launch as it was uploaded abruptly without time to market it, into something a lot of people talked about.

The song continued, "?? And yeah, I'll be in a whole new tax bracket, We in recession, but let me take a crack at it, I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up, So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks ??"

Ted smiled softly and said, "I think that's the most accurate verse of him I've ever heard."

Pepper also smiled and said, "The entire verse is Edward Newgate's essence."

"Dad! Are you really leaving your daughter alone with a boy in her room?" Haley asked with disbelief.

"Edward's a good boy! I trust him." Phil said as he grabbed Alex too.

"Hey It's my room!" Alex tried to protest.

"Thanks for your understanding Alex." I shouted to her. After everyone else left the room, I turned to Haley who was worried, yet with a tinge of anger in her face.

"Why did you come–"

"I miss you." I said, interjecting her question, making her fall in disbelief. "What?" She muttered, her eyes shook.

"Yeah...That's why I used the window. I really want to see you." I said honestly, which made her stunned. Her anger dissipated and she said, "You really shouldn't climb up here."

"You climbed into my window. There's no difference in what I'm doing here." I smiled as I sat on the edge of her bed. "We should talk." I patted the mattress, gesturing for her to sit down.

Haley sighed and relented, sitting slowly right next to me. After a while, I asked, "So I hear you've been fighting with your sister a lot?"

Haley snapped, "She's so condescending! She kept poking at me the whole time—" Stopping herself, she rolled her eyes and said, "So you come here for Alex's sake?"

"Nah. It's for my sake honestly. I just had that one question about that." I smiled before I asked, "So, you've listened to my new song?"

"Yeah. It's pretty great." Haley finally smiled, but then she tried to cover it up again.

"You don't have to stop yourself from smiling. That made me really sad." I said with a sad smile. She said apologetically, "Sorry."

"Well, you should be sorry." I teased.

She gasped with a smile, "You know what? I'm not really sorry."

"Eh, too late. I already accepted your apologies."

"Then I'll hit your head, make you lose your memories."

"With a pan?" I asked with confusion.

"Of course, with what else?" She replied teasingly.

We caught each other's eyes, and both of us burst into laughter. As we calmed down, she said, "I miss you too. But–"

"Uh, why must there be a but?" I groaned as I turned my head away from her.

"But... you know..." She trailed off, not finishing her words. Both of us were silent for a while before I spoke up, "You know what, if you're not ready, we can come to another arrangement."

"What?" She asked, intrigued. "Well, you don't want us to see each other, but you know your family is just crazy about me." I said smugly, which made her burst into laughter.

"Yeah, they love you more than me." She said sarcastically.

"You got that right." I agreed with her, which made her giggle again. "So, you know, why don't we come to some sort of an arrangement. Because not seeing each other, it pushed them to think about me more. It's like when you were kid and your dad won't get you the toy you want, and you think about them every day."

"I always get the toys I want." Haley said.

"Right, so we have a very different childhood." I said playfully. "So like a married couple getting divorce, I can have them on the weekends, and you can have them on weekdays." I added.

"Why do I get them on the weekdays!? We don't do anything on weekdays!? All the fun is on the weekends!" Haley complained.

"You live here, so it makes perfect sense that you have them on a weekday." I argued back. "No thank you!" She rejected it. "Why don't you take them Sunday and Monday, and I get them Saturday and the rest of the week." She negotiated.

I heard some murmuring from outside of the door, and realized that the family was eavesdropping on our conversation.

"Alright then. That works for me. So I can come here on Monday and Sunday." I agreed.

"No, they need to go out." Haley added. "Why should I leave the house?" She said playfully. "Where would I go?"

"Excuse me Miss Popular girl in Highschool? You really don't have anywhere to go on a Sunday? It seems like you're not as popular as you might think."

Scrunching her brows together, Haley said, "Enough about that. You'll give them back before dinner time, right?"

"No. We'll have dinner outside."

"Then I have to eat alone?!"

"Yeah!"

We argued for a while before we finally came to an agreement. "Alright, that settled it. I can get them on Sunday and Monday, also I can come to a special occasion."

"But, you need to tell me about it first." She interjected. "The ban is lifted between...you and my family..."

"So I can text you again?" I asked with a smile, which made her flustered.

She thought about it before replying, "Fine! You can, but if it becomes weird again between us, then we have to stop it immediately."

"Weird? Like how?" I asked as I moved closer towards her. Her eyes were fixated on my lips, which made her have to escape and stand up from the bed.

"Well, weird!" She explained. "If we become close again, and you start to date someone else, that is going to break me, even if we are just friends right then."

I sighed in frustration and said, "That goes both ways."

"So, you understand." She said as she crossed her arms.

Slowly, I moved up from the bed and stood in front of her, asking casually, "Alright then. Wait, what about conjugal visits? Do we have those or not?"

"Hmm?" Haley was confused. "What's that?" She asked.

"Do you not know them?" I asked with a fake surprised expression. She became flustered and said immediately, "I know! Umm..."

"So, how many times a week?" I asked, urging her.

"1 time per week!" Haley replied seriously even though she was greatly confused on the inside.

Alex burst into the room and grabbed Haley's hand, pulling her away from me. "YOU PERVERT!" Alex snapped at me before whispering to Haley what I meant. Haley's face turned angry and embarrassed.

"GET OUT OF YOU YOU PERV!" She grabbed a pillow and started beating me with it. I laughed out loud, before I jumped out of the window again. Haley grunted and said, "Use the door!"

"NO!" I replied mischievously before I left the room, shouting, "ONE TIME PER WEEK!"

"THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!" Haley shouted through the window before she slammed it shut and locked it. Feeling happy inside, I hopped back onto the car seat before driving back to my house on the seaside.

"Vader!" I picked up the cat that was running towards me with excitement as soon as I got into the house. "You're not a dog." I chuckled seeing her so happy to see me.

Leading her to her cat bowl, I squatted as I filled up her bowl with some treats, "Vader, I'll share this secret, just with you.." I said to the cat as I petted her fur. I whispered to her, "Don't tell this to anyone else, but, I was happier when I go to their house compared to when my music video was released."

"You realized that I can hear you right, Sir?" Robin appeared and asked as her holographic projection crouched next to me, smiling as she placed her hands underneath her chin.

"Top secret Robin. Top secret." I chuckled.
