2403 December BJ: So, I said, tell me what you left out when we talked about your music. When does it start? May haps you did already but tell me again. How much time do we have?
Mercedes: If I'd known that such a small amount of time would cost me 6 months, I would have backed out; we have one week.

BJ: So what would you like to do in this one week, do you know?
Mer: I had to think a bit on that one, I'm not sure. Oh, I just remembered! I brought something for you, I handed him the disc. There are only two of these in existance.

BJ: Really? I was coming down from my latte high and elation at seeing Mercedes. I felt tired and in need of sleep. Would you mind if we listened to it in the bedroom, I am really tired. Too much excitement . I took the disc and headed for bed , after turning everything off. I put the disc in the player and went back out to get her. I picked her up and carried her to the bed.

Mer: BJ carried me to the bed, and I was glad I had arranged for his song to be the 2nd or 3rd track, but still a bit nervous about his reaction to it. Turns out BJ wasn't the only one in need of sleep, the tension of the past few weeks, and the joy at seeing BJ had worn on me.

BJ:I don't think I heard but the first of the cd before falling asleep I woke late and had just enough time to shower and pull on my clothes before rushing out the door for work. At work my latte was setting on the desk and the intro playing when I finally sat down . I was on air--
During one of my brakes I ordered two roses and a note sent to my place. It was 1Am. A few more hours and I would be out of here. In the note I wrote that I hadn't had a chance to hear it yet but was looking forward to it BJ.
