Rock of Ages, Forever Pt37
'Where was that music coming from?' Joe thought? He knew he was dreaming because nobody here could play the piano that good, not even him. Joe came out of the fog of sleep and listened, it had to be the radio. He sat up and tried to figure out where it was coming from and finally realized it was from the studio. Before reaching the door he heard Sav laugh at something. Stepping inside he saw Sav with his guitar and Nick sitting at the keyboard. Joe watched them a moment. 'How can Sav sit there and enjoy Nicks company. After the shit he put him through'. Joe wondered. He’ll never understand his motives for keeping Nick around, even if it meant he was helping Sav not to kill anyone again.
Sav glanced up and saw him, “Hi Joe.”
“Good evening Mr. Elliott. I trust you are feeling better.” Nick said with a smirk.
“No thanks to you.” Joe shot back.
“I see you didn’t lose your since of humor,” Nick replied. “After that little episode the other night.”
“Want to join us Joe?” Sav asked.
“I’d rather fall into a hole.” Joe said dryly.
“That can be arranged Mr. Elliott.”
Sav barely caught his laughter at that remark. “Come on Nick, be nice.”
“He doesn’t know how to be nice Sav, or haven’t you figured that out yet?”
“I understand you play piano Mr. Elliott?” Nick asked, letting his comment slid.
“Some.”
“Then I can teach you the finer points of playing. After all, I did learn from the best.” Nick said as his fingers gracefully gliding across the keys.
“Yeah and who would that be?”
“Three hundred years ago I sat with Beethoven and watched him write some of the best known symphonies.”
“Is that is suppose to impress me.” Joe scoffed.
“No, not in the least, but if you want to learn, you must get a proper piano. This electronic stuff has a different sound.” Nick told them.
“Well, I don’t have money to burn.” Joe replied.
“Then I’ll order one for you.”
“To try and get on my good side, forget it. Don’t buy me anything, you keep it.”
”I have several already, included the last one that Beethoven played on before he passed away.” Nick told him as a matter of fact.
“Joe, take a look at these riffs and tell me what you think.” Sav said changing the subject and held out a piece of paper for him. Joe came over to him and took the paper and glanced at it.
”Want me to play it?”
Trying to ignore Nick and his steady gaze, Joe turned slightly so that he couldn't see him, “Sure go ahead.”
Sav played the notes as Joe listened. “Sounds good. We’ll have to work on some lyrics.”
Sav smiled brightly, “Great, pull up a chair.”
Joe hesitated and finally sat in his chair. Taking the paper, he jotted down a couple of things before they started talking about lyrics. They worked for hours throwing this line in and that line out. Nick giving them suggestion in some areas and Joe threw them out, reminding him he was just an observer.
Nick stayed at the piano playing the keys softly. Sav watched Joe as he concentrated on the lyrics. Nick could feel him through their bond and knew what he wanted.
Sav got up and walked slowly over to Joe, he bent over the table to read the words he had written. Joe didn’t give it a second thought when he noticed how close he was. It just seemed natural, because he had done the same thing countless times in the past.
“Change that to everything,” Sav spoke quietly and pointed to the word. “It sounds better with that one.”
Without looking up Joe asked. “You think so?”
“Yes.” Sav replied and knelt down on his knee. He watched Joe a few more minutes before he reached up, pushing his hair back away from his face. Joe stopped writing and looked at him. Sav’s eyes were an intense blue, lightly speckled with gold. Joe found it hard to look away from them. Sav lightly trailed his fingers tips along his neck, across the throbbing vein to the firm outline of his jaw, he leaned in closer, moving slowly so not to startle Joe and brushed his lips.
Joe stood up quickly, knocking his chair over backwards. “Ok…yeah well.” Joe started stumbling over his words. “I think I’ll go get some dinner.” He picked up the chair and headed for the door. He glanced at Sav who was leaning casually back on the console watching him, his lips curved up slightly. The look he was giving Joe made him more uncomfortable about the situation he found himself in. Turning around Joe left them.
“It is unwise for you to pursue this relationship with him.” Nick said from behind Sav.
“Why?” Sav asked him knowing what he was going to say.
“It would be in your best interest not to, and Mr. Elliott’s also.”
“And if I don’t?” Sav started. “Oh wait, don’t answer that. I already know, punishment for disobeying you.”
“Precisely.” Nick smiled at him.
“Whatever.” Sav shot back with a wave of his hand and left him in the studio.
***
Joe ran his hand through his hair. He went over and sat at the table, trying to figure out what to do about the situation with Sav. He needed Rebecca here to talk to, but she had left to visit her mother. Telling Joe that it was for the safety of the baby since Nick decided to spend a lot of time there. After awhile, he decided he couldn’t do it on his own, he had to talk with Sav. Maybe between them they could come up with a solution, but then again there only may be one solution. Joe took a deep breath and laid his head on the table. “This isn’t going to work.” he said aloud.
“What isn’t going to work?” Phil said from behind him.
Joe rose up and looked at him. “I didn’t hear you come in.”
“That deep in thought?”
“Yeah.” Joe replied softly.
“You look tried.” Phil said.
“Maybe a little. It’s been a long year.”
They were quiet for a while. Phil noticed that Joe was staring off in the distance and deep in thought again.
“Want to talk about it?” Phil finally asked.
“What?” Joe replied a few seconds later.
“Whatever you’re thinking about. Want to talk about it?”
Joe looked away from him. “No.”
Phil leaned forward, propping his arms on the table in front of him, “I was thinking about the album.”
“What about it?”
“We need to start recording. The record company called the other day. They wanted to know what was going on and how far we have gotten.”
“What did you tell them?” Joe asked.
“That you were to sick and that Sav was still dealing with his problems.”
“Not exactly the truth is it.” Joe chuckled.
“No. Should I have told them that Sav was a vampire and that this guy is obsessed with him? And they would say were all crazy because we believe it.”
“I see your point. But your right, we do need to get started. It just seems funny that all of a sudden we need to get this done.”
“Not really. Viv and I have been working on songs for a while and you’re just now getting to where you’ll even listen to them.”
“Yeah, I have been dragging my butt on this one, that’s not like me.”
“And we understood why. That’s why we didn’t push you.” Phil told him.
“Thanks and I appreciate it too.”
“I guess the first order of business is where do we want to record.”
Joe looked thoughtful for a moment. “We could do it here, but this studio really doesn't have all the necessary equipment What about Holland? We had a great vibe there last time.”
“Sounds good to me. I’ll phone them and get some studio time.”
“We can leave in two weeks. That gives us enough time to get things straight here.”
“What about Sav?”
“What about him? He’ll come or he wont. If not, well maybe we should think about replacing him.”
“You can’t be serious,” Phil said surprised. “In the two years he was gone you didn’t even mention that.”
“He’ll make that choice not me.”
“Don’t worry Joe, I’ll be there.” Sav said as he came into the room, going over to the pantry, he pulled out one of the bottles and drank some.
Joe noticed the bite marks on his neck, but didn’t say anything.
“I may be different, but my love for music didn’t change.” Sav told them.
“How did you hear what we were talking about?” Phil asked.
“Excellent hearing comes with being a vampire.” he said and poured out some of the liquid in the sink. Grabbing the bottle of liquor he poured a generous amount into what remained in the green bottle. Taking a drink he frowned at its taste. “To strong but I’ll get drunk faster.” Replacing the cork Sav headed to the door. “Don’t wait up kids.”
“What’s gotten into him?” Phil asked.
Joe only shrugged his shoulders.
“Something happened between you two didn’t it?” Phil asked.
“No.” Joe answered all to quickly.
Phil arched his brow at how fast Joe responded.
“It was nothing, don’t worry about it.” Joe got up from the table and left the room. Leaving Phil there to ponder his question on his own.
