Erik got up early the next morning, still feeling guilty about how Leila's feelings were trampled on. He knew he had to somehow make it up to her. He believed he was in love with her and that she was the One he'd been waiting for. So, after he laid down a new track, he called her up to invite her on a date. He had the notion all he need do was don a disguise and he could avoid all of the fans that constantly besieged them. Just as the lyrics in Weekender suggested, which he always closed his shows with, "weekender, weekender,we need a moment away." He believed this would be a true test. Were they meant for each other or not?
They left the park, and the rain and ended up at a new restaurant in town. Erik went straight upstairs to the restrooms where he donned the disguise he thought would help. To his surprise, Leila wasn't happy with it. "Erik, is that you? What are you doing in that silly getup?"
"I did this for you, Leila. I'm told others use disguises when out in public."
"Well, I think you look ridiculous." And then she began to lay down the 'law' as she saw it.
Before Erik had a chance to respond, his flimsy disguise turned into an Epic Fail, as fan after fan after fan, saw through it.
Some came bearing gifts.
Eh, eating was overrated.
And not all of them female.
What was Erik to do? Turn his back on the very people who gave him his fame by their unrelenting support?
It became very clear he had to do something, as once again, Leila was near meltdown. He never saw her get out of a chair so fast before.
"Leila, please," he said, "Don't be this way. I promise I'll make it up to you."
"You're full of promises, Erik. And, yet, nothing ever changes."
"Oh, no? Come over here for a moment." Erik said, leading her by the hand to just a couple of tables over. Taking a knee, he fished inside of his pocket. "Leila, be my bride?"
Looking stunned, she blurted out her answer, "Yes. Oh, Erik, yes!"
"See, I told you I'd make it up to you, somehow."
Suddenly, she leaped into his arms, almost knocking Erik off of his feet.
For the moment Erik was happy.
Please share your thoughts. Has Erik made a huge mistake?
