Where Does My Heart Beat Now

As I sat in the car, I became nervous. I was going to be on national television this evening and didn’t know how I would handle it. Given, I had done stuff in Quebec before, but that was just one area, the Tonight Show was global. “Remember, you’ve got this,” Edward replied standing in front of me. We were backstage and I had become nervous. Again, at that moment we were so close and I could feel the gravitational pull I had toward him. The past three months we had been simply friends, but now I wanted something more. Whether or not he wanted that, I didn’t know. “Thanks for the pep talk,” I replied with a smile. He wrapped his arms around me in a hug. The touch sent my body tingling and wanting more. I looked into his eyes and I saw his soul from those emeralds. The look was a mix of fear and desire; I knew I had the same look. There was so much going on at the moment; we were employee and boss, not to mention he was still a married man and had two year old son that was back in Seattle who was still crying over losing his mother. Lots of baggage. But I wanted him and he wanted me. We were past the friendship stage and had been for quite some time since working on songs for the album. I touched his face and he grabbed hold of my hand. “Bella, I don’t know what I’m thinking right now, but I want something more than just an employee/boss relationship,” he said. In a moment, his lips were connected with mine. It was quick but so passionate. We pulled apart after a matter of seconds and I felt like a love struck teenager. “Let’s go, Ms. Dion,” the producer said. I walked out on the dark stage and to the mike; I raised it to my height. “She’s already a big star in Quebec and France, and now she’s finally making her American debut. The single is out now and she’s here to perform it. Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Isabella Dion,” Jay Leno said and the audience applauded.
