I'm Going to Find You

[Devyn Solway]

"Then clearly it’s true." Devyn added after Beau words, since if a lot of people were saying it, then it had to be true. Well at least in this case. People said a lot of things, but it did not always mean that it was in fact true. However, in this case Devyn could say without a shadow of a doubt that this was true in the case of Beau talent. She really didn't even like country; it was not really to her music taste. She would listen to it if she had to, but it was not really on her playlist for when she would work out or do anything. In fact pretty much everything she did was to dubstep, chillstep, some kind of remix music; even for when she was doing homework. Devyn mostly respected the fact that Beau didn’t even seem to have a big head over his talent and took it to heart in a good way.

Devyn gave a small chuckle at Beau's words about her not really being the best judge of country music. Very true. "I am not, no. You might have better lock impressing my girlfriend more than me, but I still thought it was pretty good. I can always respect a talent and a body." Devyn said, yes again dropping a little flirt in there, but she at least didn't wink so it would not have been all that out there. He reckoned he could, that meant yes right? Man Devyn seemed to always have to be checking her brain for words she was not really used to hearing all that often. It was alright however because Beau had a nice accent, not one that Devyn found sexy or anything, but it was still an accent so she had an appreciation for it. Devyn started to blink and look as if she was lost at his words about having something in mind and how she should write something up.

"Uh...I don't really have a talent in the music area. I can play a little bit of the electric guitar but that is about it." Devyn confessed, which was the truth, and she had never written music before. "Like...write up a poem or words for you to sing? I just figured you would just go up to her and sing some seducing or nice song." Devyn said not really knowing how this all worked out at all, just figured the people in the movies paid someone to do it all for them or ended up doing it themselves. Devyn really did not want to try serenading Zoe again, that was very embarrassing and she knew it would probably end up shredding a bit of her confidence.

[Beau LaRoux]

Beau shrugged, again letting the compliment sort of wash over him. He was used to them by now, and he'd rather see people's reactions to his performance instead of hearing various praises. Devyn's reactions had been more than enough; everything else just added on top of that. Too much and the whole thing would sink. Though at least he got Devyn to admit that he didn't like country music. Didn't bother Beau; most people their age didn't care that much for it. Better luck impressing the girlfriend, which could've meant all sorts of things, though the body comment just had Beau shaking his head again. Devyn definitely wasn't getting that, was he?

No playing, and apparently not a great lyricist either. Beau sighed, rolling his eyes to the ceiling. He hated dragging this stuff out of someone, but it would be worse if he didn't at least try. "It don't gotta be somethin' that you did up yourself," he said, "but you should at least know her favorite song or one she likes that I could learn or somethin'. I guess I'd be willin' to work with you to write somethin' if you really want, but that's gonna cost a little extra," he grinned at that, finding it ironic that they were discussing owing yet more when the whole point to Devyn coming to see Beau was because of some debt that hadn't really existed.

"It's gonna matter more if you put somethin' more personal in it," he said by way of explanation, nodding, "trust me on this one: you ain't the first person who's asked," which is how Beau kept in guitar strings and on good terms with the ladies.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was relieved to head that it did not have to be something that she did herself that took something of a weight off her shoulders. She still remembered how she felt after her fail at poems. A song was still like a poem in a way or at least Devyn felt that you had to have some artistic ability in order to write a good one. Or at least one that worked well with the music and had a good message. Or at least a good beat and made her want to dace. The latter was more of a qualification for Devyn's type of music since there was not too much singing and most of it was done in a way that it was not able to be repeated without the aid of some type of technology. Yet Beau was bringing up that it should have been Zoe's favorite song or one she likes. Crap.. Zoe might have told Devyn before, but she could not remember it at the moment. All she remembered was that Zoe did not like her type of music. Gee Devyn, you sure are a great girlfriend. Some inner sarcasm going on as she scratched her head to think.

He offered up working with her to write something up, but also for a little extra in the cost. He was going to make her go broke. She only got so much money from her bank every so often and her little bonus was around the corner, but she was going to spend that on getting Zoe something nice and some steaks. Well, this would have been for Zoe but would she have liked a song over say a necklace? Both were romantic right? "Let say that I do this, work with you to write a song. I'm letting you know now that I’m not really uh...good at this sort of thing." Devyn said, basically trying to hint that she might be a tad bit sensitive to what she made, but at the same time he wanted him to be hard on her. She could not get better if she did not get told what she was doing wrong and how to improve. Granted she was not really sure she wanted to get better or improve upon her romantic skills outside of flirting and just being forward.

Devyn groaned slightly at Beau's words about putting something personal in it and his little 'trust me on this one' line. Yeah Devyn knew woman did like to be wooed and treated all special like, but that was not really Devyn. She was in an open relationship with Zoe and was still sleeping around while they were going out. Devyn rubbed at her father’s ring, and then messed with her shades a little. Does not hurt to at least try. Devyn thought to herself as she took a deep breath and then let it out slowly. "Alright...I'll give it a try, but if you laugh and I punch you. It's your own fault." Devyn warned, but she felt like she would be more likely to leave then she would punching him for laughing at her failures.

[Beau LaRoux]

"You don't gotta be," said Beau, chuckling again. "That's what you were talkin' to me for, right? I jus' need to know 'bout your feelin's for the girl an' all. You give me the emotions an' stuff, an' leave the rest to me."

Beau finished this with a semi-cocky smile and a wink. Well, he'd done this sort of thing before, though he hadn't done much in the way of charging for it. even now, he was thinking less in the lines of monetary compensation if needed and more along the lines of favors. not that he wouldn't take some cash if Devyn had it though; just that the guy probably wanted to save his money to spend on the girl. You know, exactly like what Beau was thinking of doing.

Personal got a groan, which in turn made Beau chuckled. Give it a try, right along with promises towards physical violence. Yeah, Beau had gotten those before too. He raised his hands, still chuckling. "Right, gotcha. You ain't gotta worry bout me startin' anythin'. I ain't really one for gettin' into a brawl. 'sides, like I said," he lowered his arms, "I've worked with this before, an' I get that it's important an' all. She must be really sweet," though Beau hadn't met the girl. He supposed he would when Devyn got around to bringing her to a show. That ought to be interesting, especially since Beau wasn't sure he'd ever met a girl's underthings before he'd met the girl herself. At least it meant that there'd be enough awkward around for everyone.

[Devyn Solway]

"Feelings? Emotional?" Devyn asked part of her feeling sick just thinking about all those heavily emotional words. Devyn was not really against feelings and emotions per say, they were just messy. Especially when it came to going out with someone and Devyn not wanting the whole life long partner and commitment thing. So this was not going to be as easy as Devyn thought it was going to be. She had to tell him how she felt and he was supposed to turn it into music. How could that work if she didn't even like talking about her own feeling to anyone that she trusted. Let alone a guy she just met, who was cool and she felt like she could work up to trusting him, but for now it was just...a challenge. How do I even feel about Zoe? Devyn honestly was stuck thinking about that now for a moment. She did care for Zoe, thought she was attractive, and wanted to protect her, but...would that be enough to tell Beau?

I might have to pay him extra. Devyn thought, already trying to remember how much she currently had in her wallet and how much she was going to be getting for her next month allowance. Beau chuckled and revealed that he was not going to laugh or anything. He had done this before so Devyn could not really be like the worse out of the others, or she could be. "Right...so do you want to make this song now or later?" Devyn asked since she never really made that clear on when she wanted this song done and part of her preferred sooner over later, but she didn't know about how far his skills went and if he needed time to prepare or anything. Funny how she came here to just say thanks and find a way to pay him back and now she was hiring him for his musical talents. "I'm...really not good at the whole emotional and feeling deal. Like...I’m sure you can guess I have a track record of getting around." Devyn pointed out since she did flirt with him even while she was going out with Zoe, so that should have been clue enough that she was not really good at monogamy.

[Beau LaRoux]

Beau nodded at the repetition of words. He could already tell that Devyn wasn't used to opening up. Happened with a lot of guys that Beau knew. So much pressure to be all manly and keep everything to themselves. Heck, that happened with Beau pretty often too, though he at least had singing and playing to let everything off. If only people realized that he kept pouring so much of himself into each note he sang and played.

Devyn apparently wasn't much for patience either. Beau chuckled at the suggestion of doing it now, chuckled and shook his head. "'fraid I'm gonna have to pull the plug on that one. I ain't some finicky artist type or nothin', but I ain't real good 'bout whippin' up a song without a few essentials. So unless you got my guitar hidin' behind you an' some paper 'round here," Beau held up his hands. Another chuckle left at Devyn's confession, a chuckle and some nodding. "Even more reason for us to wait. Give you some time to figure some stuff out. Maybe think of how you feel 'round her; how thinkin' 'bout her makes you feel. Even better if you got somethin' special you call her or can reference."

He nodded and plunked a few more notes on the piano. He could, technically, pop down and sing a few notes of "Liz's Song" for Devyn if she needed an example. Should be harmless, since he hardly thought that Devyn would know exactly who the song was for and all.

[Devyn Solway]

There was a lot of reason why Devyn didn't really like to open up and be all feeling like. One was because she still kind of wanted to be like her dad and he was very strong, but was pretty much like a man-bear-puppy when it came to dealing with her. Yet he was smart and knew how to balance your emotions and even told her she had to be a little more open with people. The other reason was because she had been hurt a couple of times when she had opened up and when that happened, well she just felt less inclined. The other big reason was because of her whole having to deal with her mother and the things she did as Devyn was growing up. There were other reasons yes, but those were the three big ones. Beau didn't need to know that however, he didn't really need to know anything besides what Devyn felt for Zoe. That in itself was a very big challenge, but she could at least try, right?

"Darn." Devyn mumbled as Beau revealed that no he could not do it on the fly right now and he at least needed his guitar and some paper. Both of which Devyn didn't have any of that on her. Who carried paper around on them? Well...writers and people who were always coming up with a plan. His guitar was even more less something she would have on her but figured he would have had it on him. Devyn's green eyes looked at Beau now as he suggested that wait, she could agree with that. However, her eyes did start to squint at him as he started to talk about how Devyn felt around her, what thinking about Zoe made her feel and something special to call her. Hmm...let’s see. Sexual desire, sexual frustration, confusion, and ZoZo. Devyn thought to herself, pretty much what she could come up with off the top of her head. Even if she knew very well there was deeper thing then that. She just...didn't want to think about them or even touch on the subject.

"I'll keep that in mind then. Can I have your number then?" Devyn asked as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. If they were not going to get a song out and she already knew what she had to do in order to pay him back, then she was done here. "For more than just calling you back to work on the song." Devyn said with a wink, dropping at least one more flirt for good measure.

[Beau LaRoux]

Beau shrugged at the darn. not like he could produce all that on the fly. He supposed he could try something on the piano, but it wouldn't have quite the same sound when he translated it to the guitar later. That and he just didn't work nearly as well composing on piano. And though he wasn't about to admit this, he didn't want Devyn to rush into it. Song-crafting took some time and effort, took thought and all that. Wasn't something you just wanted to whip up in a hurry, not unless the muse just sort of descended or a moment demanded a song.

So Beau didn't even blink when the mention of phone numbers came up. He nodded, moving to dig around in his pocket to pull out the phone. the last comment drew a dry chuckle from Beau. "Unless you're thinkin' of askin' for show times or wantin' advice on how to talk to your girlfriend, you ain't gettin' much," he replied. Why was it that guys kept bothering Beau for that? Did he have some kind or aura that just offered it up to other guys or something? Ugh, Beau did not want to think about that.

"Right, here it is then," he said, holding out his phone with the number displayed. He'd be more than willing to prattle it off too, if Devyn wanted to do it that way. just figured he'd go along with two options there.

[Devyn Solway]

"No fun Beau, no fun." Devyn responded to Beau's words about how the only things she was going to get out of him was show times and advice on how to talk to Zoe. Pfft, that part was almost laughable. Devyn did indeed chuckle a little at it, since she knew how to talk to girls. Maybe not Zoe's specific type of girl, but Devyn had gotten the results she wanted out of Zoe and others most of the time when she actually tried. So she was pretty confident that she knew how to talk to girls so she was not worried about that. She would keep it in the back of her mind if she ever came across a girl who did not at least blush or fall for her charms at least a little. Since Devyn could pull of looking like a pretty boy she was even able to mess with the straight girls in at least getting them to blush. Sure she did not always score to the point of getting them to bed with her, but that was not always the goal. Pretty much just getting a reaction out of a guy or a girl was her main goal.

Devyn looked at his phone, and entered his name into her phone. Putting him down under the name of 'Music Boy' in her phone. That was going to be his nickname from now on unless when she used it he expressed great dislike for it then she might change it, it all depended. "Alright, thanks Music Boy. With that I figure I should let you get back to your passion and talent." Devyn said as she saved the contact and slipped her phone back into her pocket. She started to move towards the door then after making sure her shades were on right. She didn't want to linger around too long since she had disrupted him and her mission was complete. She gave a small wave to him and figured he knew that they would be in touch soon. She did have a concert to go to and for him to write a song for him, so they would for sure see each other again. Now I just have to get in touch with my emotional feelings for Zoe...joys.

[Beau LaRoux]

Beau just grinned at Devyn's protests. He could get as worked up as he wanted; Beau wasn't going to bend for anybody, at least not like that. Beau supposed he should be flattered or something, impressed that Devyn even tried, maybe, but the whole thing just made him uncomfortable. He was fighting it back now because Devyn had been pretty cool otherwise, plus it was obvious that he was feeling more for Zoe and all (though Beau knew that didn't really matter that much for people; not everyone was as monogamous as he).

He waited while Devyn entered the number, holding steady and patient. Beau nodded as Devyn finished and then slid his phone back into his pocket. "Whenever you wanna work on it, lemme know. I'll need some heads up though: got a busy schedule. Girl to date; shows to play; you know how it is," he shrugged. Okay, so Devyn probably didn't know about playing shows or anything; that was a bit of a presumption on Beau's part. The whole thing though, that was something anyone would understand. Beau raised a hand while Devyn passed, watching the other guy for a bit. Strange, but there was something in the way Devyn moved that struck Beau as... off, for some reason. he shrugged it off, turning back to the piano.

Soon enough, Beau had slid back onto the stool, his fingers posed over the key, coaxing melodies out of the instrument and humming to himself. Something about the exchanged had worked well to jump-start his creative juices too, since his playing felt more charged than ever.
