Chapter 59-Best night ever
Before reading this chapter, I recommend playing either of these two songs. You'll feel the music as you read this chapter.
Have your way-Katy Nichole
Goodbye Yesterday -Elevation Rhythm
Jonathan's POV...
"Did you meet her?" Richard asked.
I laughed within myself. "I did,"
We were in the plane, heading back home. We were flying First class.
"So what happened?" he asked again. "Did she say anything?"
"She said a lot of things," I paused and reached into my pocket. "Have this exact design on this necklace replicated," I said, handing the necklace she had given me over to him.
"Is this hers?" He asked.
"Yes it is," I answered.
He peered into my face. "You don't look too happy," he pointed out. "She gave you her necklace and from the design, I know it's a lot of money,"
I looked at him for a second. "It doesn't matter if she gave me her necklace,"
"What do you mean?"
"She's... living just fine without me," I said. "Her life seems perfect now,"
"How can you tell that?" He asked. "You both spent just a few minutes together. That's too short to conclude,"
"You should've seen the look on her face when she talked about other things she did these past months," I sighed. "She looked happy,"
"She could be putting up an act, you know? To look like she was okay. That's how ladies act in front of their ex,"
I burst into laughter. "Ex?" I continued laughing. That really cracked me up.
"Besides, she gave you her necklace. If she didn't care about you... then she wouldn't have,"
"That's a birthday gift,"
"Oh," he murmured.
There was an awkward silence, before he spoke.
"What should I do after replicating the design?" He asked.
"I'll tell you what to do about it later. But for now, just have the finest jeweler replicate the design,"
"Ok. I'll do that,"
I rested my head on the headrest and closed my eyes. Was she happier now?
Audrey's POV...
"What exactly is going on?" Lena asked me. "It's been over a week and you've been acting this way,"
I looked at her. "What way?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about," she said.
"I don't know," I said ignorantly and continued playing Vita Mahjong.
She sighed. "Since we got back from France, you've changed. You've been acting a kind of way, but I can't tell exactly. What's going on?"
I dropped the phone on the couch. I came to visit her. Actually, I was crashing at her house. Mom was away and my penthouse seemed too big to stay alone. So I've been staying at Lena's since then.
"I met him,"
She frowned, then... realization dawned on her.
"You mean him?" She asked wide-eyed.
I nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She scolded. "So what did he say? Did you two talk?"
"We did," I said.
"So... what happened after that?"
"He's moved on Lena," I blurted out.
"What?"
"Seeing him reminded me of times we spent together and I got emotional and then I asked him,"
"Asked him what?" she asked impatiently.
"If he still loves me,"
"You did?" She gaped at me. "What did he say?"
"He doesn't," I shrugged. "He's moved on,"
"That's too sudden," she said. "It's not even been three months yet,"
"I shouldn't have asked him that," I said. "It hurts so much knowing that he forgot our memories together,"
"I'm so sorry,"
"I was thinking he would still think about me, even if just a bit. But I was delusional,"
"No you were not," she came over and sat next to me.
"I have to move on too," I said. "If he doesn't think of me anymore, how can I..."
"No. No. I'll ask Richard to find out something,"
"No," I shook my head. "Don't do that. Don't start something that has already ended,"
She sighed. "Okay,"
"Is there anything fun you want to do?" She asked.
I grinned. "Don't judge me for this...," I paused. "But... I want to go to Karaoke,"
Her eyes widened slowly. "Really?"
I nodded and she started laughing.
"Okay. First things first, you need to look the part," she said, standing up. "Come. I'll choose what to wear for you,"
She ran upstairs and I joined her. I was excited. I needed to blow off some steam.

At Karaoke...
"This is a bar," I pointed out as soon as we entered.
There were a few people there, gathered around the counter.
"No... well yes," she answered. "Ours is private so we just have to go through the backdoor to our private karaoke,"
"What if someone sees us?"
"Don't worry," she said. "It doesn't matter to anyone. Besides, you're here to have fun and forget about what he said. So... let's have fun,"
We got to our private karaoke and Lena put on instrumental music immediately. It was pretty loud.
I looked at her, closing my ears with my hands.
"Now's your time," she shouted, handing me the mic. "Show me what you got and have some fun,"
The music was already playing.
I collected the mic from her and faced the television to sing along with the lyrics.
I started singing. My voice cracked during my first attempt and I turned to Lena.
She turned off the music.
"I don't think this is a good idea," I said.
"You wanted to do it,"
"I know. But I... I don't know if I want to anymore. I'm not a singer, you know. I... I can't sing,"
"Listen," she held my shoulders. "Don't overthink it. Just move your body to the rhythm of the music and just dance and sing as loud as you want. Besides, you're a great dancer, even though you're not a good singer,"
I laughed, eyeing her.
"Now come on," she said, picking up the remote. "Sing like your life depends on it,"
I faced the television, determined this time.
The music started again and I put the mic to my lips waiting for the lyrics to come on.
My body started moving to the tune of the music and then, I started singing.
It was messy at first, but I didn't stop. Then it started going great and I started enjoying it.
I shut my eyes as I danced and sang as well. I opened my eyes and saw Lena dancing next to me. She was laughing. She got herself another mic and sang alongside me, making really funny dance moves.
We danced together, and sang together. The beat dropped and I completely lost myself to singing. I started jumping up and down as I continued singing. Lena joined me, jumping as well. We were having so much fun.
I sang to my heart's content. I didn't feel like stopping at all, because that night was the best night of my life.
