PARKERS POV
I've finally found a place well set up the meeting location and I've also come up with what to tell Marisa, I'm actually heading to her room upstairs right now
"Knock knock" I knocked mildly on her door
"Go away, i don't wanna see anyone right now" She answered from inside
"Marisa please it's me, let me in I just wanna talk " I pleaded from outside but she didn't respond, so i asked again
"Can I come in, I could be of help"
"Fine, just five minutes" She finally gave in and I came in immediately
"Hey, how're . . ."
"Cut the pleasantries and go straight to why you came here, remember you got five minutes" She cut me off mid statement and sat up
"OK, if you want it that way then, I came to ask why you're so upset and glo . . ."
"That's non of your business" She cut me off again
"Well you didn't allow me to finish, I knew you wouldn't reply me so I made some few calls and got the reason why you're in this situation"
"You don't believe them do you?" She asked while looking up with wet soggy eyes
"Why would I believe that motherfucker over my sister, I kbowknow how he was back then so I can't trust him on bit" I plainly said which made her reveal a small smile that brightened uo her face
"Don't tell me you're gonna be like this cause of what Tyler thinks, I don't fucking care if be believes you or not" I blurted out
"Maybe you don't but I do, he's my boyfriend and it kinda hurts knowing he doesn't completely trust me" she muttered lowly
"Let's forget about Tyler and his untrustworthyness for now, I have a way to make you feel better" I said and surprisingly it drew her attention there for a sec so I continued
"Someone special is in town and i know how much you love him, so I hooked you up with a private lesson with him"
"Who's that" She asked interestedly
"Peter Buka, that pianist you won't stop talking about, well yeah he's famous alright . . ."
"Oh My Gosh, I'm gonna meet Peter?" She said with glee visible I her eyes
"But who told you I need piano lessons, remember I already did that with Tyler"
"I said you shouldn't talk about Tyler here again, apparently a friend of mine knows him somehow, there're kinda friends so he did me a favour and . . ."
"Thank you so much Parker, it's really like a dream meeting him" She cut me off again and engulfed me in a tight hug
"Let go, you wanna squish me to death" I tried and wiggled my self out of the tight embrace
"So what day is the lesson?" She asked
"Today, this afternoon, he's leaving Cali tomorrow morning so . . ."
"I need to get ready, get outta my room" She said and literally started pushing me out the door
"Sheez is this how you treat someone who did something nice for you?" I asked rethorically cause I know she wasn't gonna answer me
"Anyways take your time, you've got five hours" I yelled from her front door before walking out
My work there was done, now I have to proceed with the next step which is setting the place up, I do have a few helping hands though but before that I'll call Emily and tell her to proceed with phase two and make sure he agrees
📱"Hey Emily " I said first when she picked up
📱"Hey, you've picked a place yet?"
📱"Yeah, that's what I was actually calling you for, it's gonna be at the park, that garden next to the water fountain, I'm about heading there now so I would setbeverything up"
📱"Okay, can you give me a hint what's gonna be about so I'll use that to work"
📱"I'm bringing a piano there, cause I told her some famous guy is giving her a private lesson"
📱"Oh yeah, that could work thanks for the tip, i know what to say now"
📱"okay, there're meeting in five hours time"
📱"No issue, thanks" She said and hung up
EMILY'S POV
I finally know what to tell Tyler thanks to Parker
I saw Tyler when he went into the kitchen, few minutes later he came out with a bottle of water
"Hey bro, you've got plans today?"
"Not really but I'm meeting up with the guys why?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that remember I told you we're gonna continue our last night conversation today right, so this is it"
"What do you want this time around?" He asked frustratedly
"Ok so a friend of mine want some piano lessons"
"How does that concern me?"
"You play the piano right? I told her you're gonna give her lessons"
"Seriously Em, why would say something like that without even giving me a heads up, what if I have plans" He ranted
"Well I knew you wouldn't . . ."
"I'm not accepting it" He cut me off mid sentence
"Tyler please, she's counting on me" I begged but he kept shut still
"Okay fine just this one time and I won't bother you again"
"Pretty pleaseeee"
"Fine, stop begging I'll do it, what time is it though?" He asked
"Four hours from now" I answered with a little joy in me
"But that's still far" He whined a bit
"Please she's counting on me" I repeated
"Fine I'll go, where exactly?"
"At the park, the garden beside the fountain"
"Ok, I'll go there but right now I need to see Freddy" he said and was about heading out
"Give me a call when you're heading there okay"
"Sure sure" He said and hurriedly left
It was four hours time already and I was on my way to the park when Tyler called and said he was on his way there and that I should inform my friend to meet him there, which I replied okay to but I'm gonna give Parker a call so he can proceed
📱"Hey Parker, Ty is already on his way there" I told him through our call
📱"Perfect, we better should start going then " He said referring to Marisa
📱"okay then, wish you guys luck, I would be watching from a safe distance"
MARISA'S POV
"Marisa done preparing yet?" Parker asked as he knocked slightly on my door
"Almost, just applying some little touches . . . There, I'm done" I said when I was satisfied with the amount of mascara
I had to appear really pretty cause it isn't everyday I'll get to see a famous pianist.
"So Parker, rate my dressing" I asked once I came outta my room
"100 percent, now can we go?"
"Are you really sure it's okay, I could go . . ."
"Marisa, you look beautiful you don't need to change a thing" He interrupted my initial statement
"Now let's go, he would be waiting" he said and took the keys of my Dad car which he left at home
"Thank you Parker" I said sincerely as we drove down to the park
"What for?"
"Helping me get over him, it wasn't easy but you helped me through it, so thank you" I appreciated
"Nah it's nothing, and you're gonna thank me more after this" He said and grinned a bit
"Yea I know"I said but didn't know why he's acting weird about it
Minutes later we got to the park and Parker parked the car and stayed in
"You're not coming?" I asked
"Why should I, it's your date . . . I mean meeting, so i shouldn't Interrupt, get going now" he said and literally pushed me out
"Parkerrr"
"Where's he anyway, this park is huge" I asked so I wouldn't miss my way
"The garden close to the fountain" he said
"One more . . ."
"Gooo" He ignored me and slammed the door so I had to go
On reaching there, I saw Peter sat across his piano playing it slowly
I still couldn't believe I was gonna meet him today
I approached him from behind but it seemed he heard my footsteps
"I've been waiting here for quite some time now, don't you know I'm a busy . . ." he hault in his sentence when he saw me, I was in shock as well
"Ty...ler?" I called almost inaudibly
"Sorry I was supposed to meet up with a 10th grader here to give her some piano lessons"
"And I was supposed to meet Peter Buka here but it seems this isn't the location" I said and made my way to leave but I was held back by Tyler's tight grip which made me turn
"I think we've both been set up" He said but I didn't get a thing
"What do you mean, and by who?"
"Can't you see, we we're supposed to meet up at the exact location and time, and whosoever we came here for isn't even here, isn't that way too much for a coincidence" He explain and it did made meaning so I was starting to believe it was a set up
"Well I need to get going" I said and was about leaving but I was held back again
"Would it hurt if you stay for a little bit?" He asked pleadingly.
