*********************************************************************************

Louisa was on a mission.

A musical one.

After work on the Monday after her and Josh’s six month anniversary dinner Louisa drove across the East River with her Viola on the backseat of the S.U.V contemplating her approaching Viola lesson. After her and Josh’s discussion about the recital in the coming weeks she had decided on a piece and wanted to put it to Mark Josh’s friend who was teaching her at the Conservatorium.

She arrived at the old music school shortly before 4PM and with her viola in tow she got out of the car and made her way into the campus passing the brass and woodwind departments, the percussion department and the piano department before finally making her way to the Strings and Orchestra department on the top floor right on four PM. Mark was just farewelling one of his students a young girl when she arrived outside the room where she normally had her lesson.

‘And remember get your bow rehaired I have more hair on my elbow than you do on your bow!’ he called after her ‘if it frayed during a recital you’d be stuffed!’

‘Yes boss’ came the amused response.

‘Hey Louie come on in’ Mark said in a slightly exasperated voice.

Louisa followed Mark into the room.
‘Difficult pupil then?’ she said in amusement.

‘Nah not really one of my most promising students but she has a thing for playing with threadbare bows’ Mark said in exasperation uncapping a bottle of Spring water and taking a sip ‘if her bow isn’t rehaired or new by our next lesson on Wednesday I’m going to start making her play with a cello bow’

Louisa laughed heartily.
‘Violin or viola?’

‘Violin she only started it in grade ten and has advanced amazingly fast’ Mark said as Louisa opened up her case and took her viola out ‘so have you decided on wether you’ll perform at the recital yet? I need to know by Wednesday that’s when the dean needs final names’

‘Yeah I’ll do it’ Louisa said tightening the bow hair ‘I wasn’t going to do it because I hate performing in front of crowds. I have the whole time I’ve been playing but Josh managed to convince me. We spent a whole hour discussing what piece would be good to play. Everything from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to fricking Poker Face’

‘Well I was hoping you’d consider going down the classical line’ Mark said in amusement ‘we have our Pops recitals later in the year that you’d be more than welcome to perform Poker Face or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at’

‘How would you feel about Paganini’s Twenty Fourth Caprice?’ Louisa said affixing her shoulder rest to the lower bout of her viola.

Mark choked on his water hard. It came out through his nose and dribbled down his front soaking his white shirt to the skin.

‘Excuse me you want to do what?’ he yelped in a constricted voice yanking a handkerchief from within his pocket and dabbing at his face.

‘Paganini’s twenty fourth caprice’ Louisa repeated placing her viola under her chin ‘it comes after the twenty third you see’

Mark rolled his eyes.
‘Well thankyou Captain Obvious’ he said in dry amusement ‘you do realise that the twenty fourth caprice is one of the hardest violin pieces out there don’t you? You have to have extraordinary dexterity to do the left hand pizzicato. And you’re performing on the viola which requires further adaptation of the original music. You couldn’t have picked a harder piece to play and there’s only two weeks to go. A lot of seasoned violists and violists have problems playing it. In fact the only people I’ve ever heard play it faultlessly is Josh and Itzhak Perlman. I’ve been playing as long as Josh and I still have issues playing it’

‘Yeah I know I’m sorry’ Louisa said sheepishly as she tuned her viola ‘I’ve had issues playing it since I first picked up a violin too but ever since I first met Josh he’s been tutoring me on it and I reckon if I work my arse off I could perform it. Especially if Josh helps me’

‘You’re going to have to practice every day twice as hard as you ever did before your university exams’ Mark said ‘I’m willing to work on you with it but before I do I want you to pick a piece to perform instead if you’re not up to the Paganini piece’

‘Easy’ Louisa said with a grin ‘Song to the Moon, Dvorak. It’s Josh and I’s song’

‘Okay well that is a song I know you can perform on your ear. Let me hear you play that as a warm up then we’ll work on this head fuck of a Caprice’

Louisa giggled then poised the bow over the strings. She then drew it over the strings and began playing.

*********************************************************************************

‘Jesus luv being in love with Josh has worked wonders for learning shitty pieces’ Mark said an hour and a half later as the lesson wound up ‘I have every confidence you’ll kick ass at the recital with that piece. If you’re telling me the truth and you haven’t touched it for ten years up until you met Josh you’re doing brilliantly. Apart from a couple of dropped notes that was near enough to flawless. I think with our lessons three times a week and you working with Josh up until the recital you’ll wow everyone’

‘I hope so Josh makes it easier to learn’ Louisa mumbled going pink in the face as she put her viola back in it’s case ‘we’re having dinner tonight so I’ll ask him if he doesn’t mind working with me on it’

‘Well if you work hard on it now you can rest up in the last couple of day leading up to the show’ Mark said putting his own viola away ‘now we better nick off before we’re locked in I’ll see you here again on Wednesday at four o’clock alright?’

‘You got it’ Louisa said slinging her viola case and handbag over her shoulder ‘see ya!’

Due to the horrendous Manhattan traffic it was another forty five minutes before Louisa reached Gramercy Park. She parked next to Josh’s Porsche and with her viola and handbag slung over her shoulder made her way inside and upstairs to his apartment. She only knocked twice before Josh opened the door his Blackberry glued to his ear.

‘Well the earliest I can do anything is two weeks time after the conservatorium recital’ he said into the mouthpiece waving Louisa into the apartment and patting her on the backside. Louisa kissed him on the cheek and made her way into the lounge room putting her viola case and handbag on the lounge. Kicking off her shoes she walked over to the fireplace which was crackling merrily and began warming herself. Closing her eyes she hummed a formless tune til she heard Josh’s voice begin to filter through to the lounge room.

‘Ed I’m choc a block full right up to the conservatorium recital if they want an interview they’re going to have to wait til then or ring me at midnight. I have my boys during that week and I am not going to mess them about by dropping time to do an interview. Lisa would throw the hissy fit to top all hissy fits if I did that and we’re only just starting to be cool....alright I’m sorry I’m not having a go at you just tell these people if they want a piece of me they’re going to have to wait. Louie and the boys come before any media. Okay darling I will see ya’

The next thing Louisa felt was Josh’s arms wrap themselves around her waist and is lips press themselves to her neck.
‘Hmm that’s nice’ she breathed as he suckled on her skin ‘how was your day?’

‘Busy’ Josh murmured his hands travelling up her sides and cupping her breasts ‘since you left this morning I’ve been ridiculously busy. It’s amazing I’ve had time to go to the bathroom’

‘So who’s hassling you for an interview?’

‘Classic FM in London they want to do an interview about my recital tour of the UK next month but I simply don’t have the time to do it unless they ring me at midnight. I’m not cutting into my time with the boys or you. They can ring me at a reasonable time and pre-record if they’re so damn eager to have my ass’

‘Mmm do I get some of your arse tonight?’ Louisa asked huskily turning around and pressing her forehead to his.

‘Hmm if you’re a good girl’ Josh whispered pressing his lips to hers ‘how did your lesson go?’

‘Brilliantly making real progress. I told Mark I would take him up on his invite to play at the recital and told him straight away what piece I wanted to play’

‘Oh? And what piece would that be?’

‘The twenty fourth Caprice’

‘Paganini’s?’ Josh said in surprise.

‘Of course who else do you know that’s written a twenty fourth Caprice?’

‘Well of course, but you feel ready to perform it? You’re always going on about how crap you think you are at playing it’

‘But I’m not just playing it when we jam I’m playing it at home too. Given I’m generally doing it on the violin but I decided to funk things up a bit and do it on the viola seeing as that’s the instrument Mark wants me to use at the recital. When I told him what piece I wanted to play he choked on his bottled water and sprayed it all down his front’

‘I bet he did’ Josh said in amusement ‘so practicing it went well?’

‘I think it did Mark said apart from a few misplayed notes in the pizzicato I did well. He reckons because I’m adapting what is a popular violin piece to be played on a viola I’ll have to practice more every day than I ever did in the lead up to my exams at Uni’

‘I reckon you will too’

‘But he also said that if I practice with you on the days I don’t have lessons with him I should get it down to the point where I can rest up a bit leading up to the recital’ Louisa said ‘that leads me to a proposition for you’

‘Hmm sounds saucy’ Josh said in amusement kneading her backside.

‘You’re a sexual deviant Joshua Bell’

‘All women tell me that’

‘Hardi har har’ Louisa said dryly rolling her eyes ‘I was wondering if you’d like to come back to my place til you have your week with the boys so I can jam with you after work. That then means I only have to come across the East River for my actual lessons. Hell you could even bring the boys with you if you like. They love being at my place’

‘Are you sure? You want three feral young boys hooning around your place?’

‘Yeah why not? They bring a new vibe to my life J I love them. I only have to make a small adjustment to the room next to mine and that can be their room when they come to stay’

Josh smiled.
‘Sounds an offer far too good to refuse’ he said softly ‘so shall we go now or do you want to stick about for a bit?’

‘You go pack a bag and I’ll wait here warming my whatsits’ Louisa growled in his ear ‘rawr’

Josh kissed the bridge of her nose.
‘Back in a minute’ he said with a grin.

Josh returned upstairs and Louisa remained by the fire warming her back as the fuel burnt out and all that remained was glowing coals.

‘Come on babe you only need to pack for a week tops what are you doing?’ Louisa asked in amused exasperation fifteen minutes later ‘I hope you’re not touching yourself you know I can do a better job than any self lovin’

‘Ha ha’ Josh called from atop the landing where he was holding the Strad case and an overnight bag ‘you crack me up on a daily basis you know that?’

‘All that and without even trying’ Louisa said with a grin picking up her own instrument case and handbag ‘do you want to bring any sheet music with you?’

‘Nah I should be alright’ Josh said ‘you have copies of all the music I have here anyway if I need to I’ll borrow yours’

‘Okie doke shall we go?’

‘Lead the way’

*********************************************************************************

For the week Louisa was almost as busy as Josh. After eight hours a day at the clinic she returned home and practiced Paganini’s 24th Caprice with Josh. Then on Wednesday and Friday she had her regular lessons with Mark at the Conservatorium. She returned home on Friday night to find her huge house smelling alluringly of Italian herbs and spices and friend onions and Josh in the kitchen reading a cookbook with the same intensity he usually read a page of sheet music.

‘HELLOOOOOOOOOOO?’ Louisa yelled after the first three times she greeted him went by unnoticed.

‘You’re home!’ Josh said happily.

‘Yeah five minutes ago J you’ve been into that cookbook like its porn’ Louisa said with a giggle laying her viola upon the dining table ‘what’s the recipe?’

‘I call it ‘Great Balls of Fire’ Josh said with a grin striding over to her and greeting her with a kiss ‘I’m ‘adjusting’ a spaghetti and meatballs recipe’

‘Is it something that’s going to cause a great ring of fire?’ Louisa asked with a great snort of laughter.

‘No I promise you it won’t’ Josh said ‘shouldn’t be too long now. How did your last lesson before the recital tomorrow night go?’

‘Oh great really brilliantly’ Louisa said enthusiastically dropping down into one of the bar stools ‘seriously I went through the whole Caprice without a mistake. I reckon I might just be able to do it Josh really I think I can knock it on the head’

Josh smiled.
‘I’m glad all your practice has paid off’ he said ‘I think I’m playing it better because of all the work I’ve done on it too. I might include it on the recital tour of the UK next month’

‘Wish I could go see you perform’ Louisa said making a face ‘I’ve only ever seen videos of you perform’

‘You don’t consider me playing at the Grammy’s this year performing?’ Josh asked with a raised eyebrow.

‘J that was ‘Gone too Soon’ a Michael Jackson song for the In Memoriam segment’ she said dryly ‘one song, not the full Joshua Bell concert experience. I do read your fan forums you know and one of your shows is something any strings enthusiast should go to at least once in their lives. I want to see you perform your passion classical music in front of an orchestra with all the bells and whistles. God you’re gigging with the London Symphony Orchestra for chrissakes. I would kill just to see an LSO show’

Well the recital tour does come back to the U.S just before the end of March and I’m doing a show at Carnegie Hall come to that one it is on a weekend’ Josh said ‘I know this guy I can get you great front row tickets’

Louisa snorted.
‘Could you have a word with your guy and see if I can be a roadie?’ he asked with a lascivious grin ‘I have several skills this ‘guy’ might be interested in’

‘Oh care to elaborate? I have to give my contact some first hand information’

Louisa got off the bar stool and made her way into the kitchen. She went in to kiss him but just before their lips touched she pulled away dropping to her knees and helping Josh out of his trousers.

‘Fuck! He cussed.

For an agonizingly long time Louisa took him in her hands and gently stroked him to full mast. She then slid her lips over his head and went down on him gently cradling his testicles with one hand and stroking him with the other on the up suck. The pleasure of her mouth made him want her to the point where he released inside of her but not wanting to come early he bit his lip and inwardly sang ‘Wheels on the Bus’ in an effort to prolong the contact. Louisa for her part was determined to drive him made knowing the tour he was to embark on in two weeks would be the last time she would see him for over a month. She nipped and sucked and massaged with soft intensity til with a low groan Josh grabbed handfuls of her hair.

‘I’m close sweetheart’ he groaned thrusting into her mouth with as much restraint as he could muster ‘oh god so close’

Louisa looked up and gave Josh the must lustful look she could manage while applying maximum suction. The look alone brought Josh undone and with a roar like a bellowing stallion he peaked spilling himself into her mouth.

‘FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!’ he cussed banging his fists down on the kitchen bench and making the cookbook and a jar of dried basil fall off the bench ‘shit!’

Louisa swallowed his essence and licked him clean before tucking him back into his trousers and doing up his fly.
‘We’re not going to be able to do that when the boys are here are we?’ she whispered in his ear bending down to pick up the cookbook and jar of Basil and in doing so showing him an ample view of her rounded backside.

‘No way but I’d wait til we went to bed for that’ Josh said slightly out of breath ‘wow that was brilliant Louie the best yet’

‘You say that every time J surely they can’t get much better’ Louisa said in amusement ‘take that to your guy at Carnegie Hall’

‘Sorry? Wha-? What’s Carnegie Hall got to do with that?’

Louisa giggled.
‘Wow it must’ve been the best one yet if I made you forget about the thread of conversation’ she said with a grin going to the stock pot on the stove and inspecting the spaghetti sauce that was bubbling away inside ‘even I’ll admit I’ve never made you forget a conversation before’

‘Yeah I know wow I think I might just open a Bud and go sit down to reminisce’ Josh said with a grin putting the cookbook away ‘the sauce will be a while yet fancy joining me Miss Riminton?’

‘Are you propositioning me Mr Bell?’

‘I’ll let you decide that sweetheart I’ll let you decide that’

*********************************************************************************

Despite a spectacular round of morning sex the following day and several attempts at reassurance from Josh Louisa found herself getting more and more nervous as the time for the New York Conservatorium recital approached. Even a text from Charlotte saying she and Georgia had arrived from Los Angeles to watch her perform failed to calm her and by the time came to start getting ready for the night out she was on the point of hyperventilating.

‘Alright sit down’ Josh ordered her at five o’clock that afternoon.

‘I don’t want to sit down!’ Louisa panicked pacing around the lounge room.

Josh picked Louisa up and dropped her onto the sofa.
‘Sit’ he said in the same tone he used when scolding one of his sons.

‘Joshua Bell I am not a dog’

‘I know you’re not but seriously you’re driving me nuts’ Josh said in exasperation dropping down next to her ‘even Mocha and Cookie are avoiding you. Trust me your boyfriend, lover, confidant, companion, friend, violin tutor and designated masseuse that you will do fine tonight. This is not the first recital you’ve performed at and it probably won’t be the last. I know you have the skills and ability to pull the Twenty Fourth Caprice off. Yes it’s a difficult piece and yes a lot of seasoned violinists have issues playing it but you’ve been practicing more times than we’ve made love this past week and have perfected the arrangement and your technique. Mark believes you can do it and so do I. I have faith in you!’

Louisa went bright pink and flopped back on the sofa.
‘I’m being stupid’ she said sheepishly as he pressed a kiss to her forehead ‘this is just a big thing for me you know J? Mark told me yesterday two and a half thousand tickets have been sold to this show. I’ve never performed in front of a crowd that big not even in the Uni orchestra. Big crowds are easier to cope with in an orchestra because you can blend in with other musicians but as a soloist you’re out there on your own’

‘Well thankyou Captain Obvious’ Josh said dryly rolling his eyes ‘and I suppose a duet if two people performing the same piece?’

Louisa giggled.
‘I’m just scared ya know J?’ she said lacing her fingers through his ‘you are a soloist it’s all you’ve ever done you’re used to it but I’m not. I’ve only ever performed in ensembles or Orchestras. The only times I’ve performed solo is for exams or at one or two recitals. And this is the New York Conservatorium of Music one of the most respected and prestigious music schools in the world. The only people who perform at these things aside from the students of the Conservatorium are usually internationally renowned musicians generally with a recording contract. People like you. I play the violin and viola for fun! Up until three months ago I’d never taken a viola lesson in my life!’

Josh gently held Louisa’s face and kissed her softly.
‘You’ll be fine’ he said softly ‘trust me I have every confidence you’ll perform spectacularly After all the practice you’ve done you couldn’t help but perform well’

‘You know if you ever quit the music business J you could go on the motivational speakers circuit I’m sure you’d make as much money doing that as you do by shaking your bon bon on stage’

Josh let out a great snort of laughter.
‘Sweetheart I’m a violinist not a dancer’ he said with a chuckle ‘the only time shake my ‘bon bon’ as you put it is when I get home from a show and we’re intimate’

Louisa sat up and pushed aside the shoulder of his shirt sucking gently on his shoulder rest callous.
‘If we had time I would so pin you down and ride you like a racehorse’ she whispered ‘you are looking so hot right now’

‘Maybe when we get home’ Josh murmured squeezing her hip ‘now we better get moving and get ready for tonight we have to be there by six thirty for the rehearsal’

‘Well let’s go’ Louisa said with a sigh ‘the sooner we get to this gig the sooner it will be over and the sooner I can get back here and tie you to the bed’

Josh chuckled.
‘You really want to go down that avenue do you?’ he said with a grin getting to his feet ‘I’m learning more and more about you every day young lady’

‘Ha!’
