lewis | miss leclercq
❝hello, mon cher. i just finished off the meeting with davina friedman. she was ecstatic about writing and producing the song for your next single. she knows that we need to sell.❞
❝what? no, maman. you know i write my own songs. if you'd make the deal about us two writing together, i'd agree. but to sing someone else's song? no.❞
❝it's just a song, lewis.❞
❝no mother. it's not just a 'song'. i hope you can talk to friedman and make her agree with us doing it together instead. or wait, not at all works too.❞
❝lewis . . .❞
❝mother, there's a reason for why it says specifically singer songwriter on the internet when you search my name.❞
❝you and your pride . . . fine, i'll see what i can do.❞
❝thanks.❞
❝lewis, you're so frustrating to work with sometimes.❞
❝it's not my fault you decided to become my 'momager' and made me fire lenny.❞
❝i kind of do feel bad about that.❞
❝. . .❞
❝so . . . you left immediately after you gave me the phone when i talked to riley.❞
❝do i know a riley?❞
"raylee. i mean raylee."
❝oh yeah. didn't need to hear the gossip. and her humiliating me. what a wonderful girlfriend, right?❞
❝wait, what was the thing you said in the middle? you kids speak too low nowadays. anyway, she's a bit odd. it did sound like she didn't know who you were.❞
❝. . . no, she does.❞
❝and does she make you happy?❞
❝. . . yes?❞
❝you don't sound confident in your answer.❞
❝i can't help it?❞
❝can you elaborate?❞
❝she's moody and she has this weird obsession of quoting disney all the time. it's pretty freaky.❞
❝you're being a bit hypocritical now, don't you think?❞
❝i don't understand.❞
❝raylee told me you quoted disney too, like you did before. she did sound very enthusiastic about it.❞
❝she did . . . what?❞
❝it's nothing to be ashamed of, mon cher. it's no defeat to admit liking something that can not be controlled.❞
❝oh my god maman. you're talking as if i'm getting out of the freaking closet or something!❞
❝well are you? you do sound a bit defensive about that. what's so wrong about being gay? my previous husband, gerard, was in the closet when he married me. not one of my finest marriages.❞
❝nothing, i respect them! look, i'm hanging up on you now. this conversation became too weird for me and i don't want to talk about gerard.❞
❝fine.❞
❝bye maman.❞
❝bye mon cher.❞
❝. . . ❞
❝oh my god. i'm going to murder her.❞
