Rebekah
Rebekah stared at the piece of paper Millsy had just handled her.
"You can't be serious," she said.
"I am, unfortunately. That is what Holden has written for us. And that is what Dicko says has to be on the album. He's not happy about it either, but Holden kicked up a huge fuss, and yeah, we can't get out of it, without a breach of contract," Millsy explained.
"You realise, zis 'song'... it is like porn. We are basically - "
"Singing erotic fiction. I know. But we have to, this is the job."
Looking defeated, Rebekah sighed. "When do we record zis?"
"Halfway through next month. So we should practice."
"May I ask why zis is what Holden wrote?"
Millsy shrugged. "Something about our promotion. If we just did a bland duet, press would be like 'oh it's those two idols', but if we do this, it's like 'oh, it's those two idols singing about sex with each other. Maybe there's something there.'"
"So..."
"So we're false advertising. But Dicko says he'll cross that bridge if we ever get to it."
"Right."
Millsy grinned at Rebekah, and she laughed slightly.
"If we get sued, Holden is a dead man."
"You're not wrong there, Bek."
Millsy pressed play on the tape, and the instrumental music started to play. Rebekah rolled her eyes slightly.
"I love watching you, you know
When you're smiling at me like that
It makes me get all hot inside
I want you all the time..." went Millsy.
"A smile from you can stop my heart
And I know just what you want
No need to ask boy, here I am
Take me as you please..." Rebekah sang.
"Baby, take it off real slow
I wanna watch you dance for me..." sang Millsy.
Rebekah's voice threaded in and out of Millsy's lyrics, keeping in time with the music.
"I'll dance for you, baby boy
Just don't stop touching me..."
Millsy took over again.
"I love to touch you everywhere
I love to make you scream
I'll lick you up and down, girl
Make you quiver inside out..."
"I've heard about your reputation boy..."
"Move a little closer girl..."
Millsy and Rebekah played a mock gameof tag with their lyrics.
"Falling under your spell..."
"Take it off, please take it off, baby..."
Because this is purely physical
And we're not in this for love
This feels so good inside
So touch me again, once more please baby
And if this were simply emotional
We wouldn't feel the way we do
We're not gonna worry bout anything
Just touch me, one more time baby..." they finished together.
Millsy switched the tape off.
"So..."
"Zat was not as terrible as I thought it would sound."
"Always reassuring."
"Indeed."
They looked at each other for a moment, then started to laugh.
"No one's gonna think we're in love," Millsy said, in between chuckles.
"Not even close," Rebekah agreed.
"So then this publicity stunt is just going to crash and burn, isn't it?"
"Looks like," Rebekah replied, grinning.
"Not our problem though."
"Nup, Dicko's and Holden's. Coz Dicko will make it Holden's problem," Millsy commented.
"Oui, I am zinking so."
"Feel like lunch?"
"Sure."
