so the building was blissfully silent—except for the occasional smack of a bowling ball hitting pins. But when compared to the indignities the untrained could inflict on an innocent guitar, the sound was almost welcome.
She found Isaak in his office. She waved as she plopped down in one of the visitor chairs.
“Let me guess,” she said with a grin. “You have a new group that wants to learn every song from the Foo Fighters.”
“I wish, but no. I’m hosting a showcase.”
“You’re always hosting a showcase. I heard the one last night was particularly challenging for those attending.”
He groaned. “Tell me about it. You were lucky you didn’t have to be there. But this is different. There are a couple of other music schools that do what we do. We’ve been talking about organizing something together. It’s going to be up here at Petal Pushers.”
“They changed the name. It’s The Dutch Bunch now.”
“Whatever. I can’t keep up. Anyway, the venue is great and we’re each going to bring our best bands and players. I thought you and Jeff could do a duet.”
Naked, she thought dreamily. That was the duet she was most interested in. Naked Jeff and naked her. Not onstage, though. In her bedroom. Yup, that would be fantastic. Just their bodies touching and rubbing and—
“Helen?”
“What? Oh, sorry. That would be great. We can do our usual.”
Isaak sighed. “Not everyone likes Billy Joel.”
“Everyone should. He’s an icon and my personal piano hero.”
“I thought you could try something different.” He passed over sheet music.
She picked it up and glanced at the title. As she didn’t know if she should laugh or scream, the sound that escaped had a snortlike quality to it.
“You’re kidding.”
“Nope. You’d be great.”
“It’s not a duet.”
“It could be.”
Helen briefly closed her eyes. “‘Wrecking Ball’? I doubt Jeff knows who Miley Cyrus is and I know he’s never heard the song. It’s not his style.”
“Neither is Billy Joel but Jeff does it for you. I think ‘Wrecking Ball’ has potential.” Isaak winked. “Plus, he’ll love the video.”
Helen winced. No offense to anyone, but having Jeff watch that particular video was not going to get him in the mood to have sex with her. Miley was too beautiful, too perfect, too everything. Ordinary, plump women wouldn’t stand a chance.
“I’ll talk to him,” she said.
“Your lack of enthusiasm is inspiring.”
“I still think we should stick with what works.”
“No Billy Joel.”
She took the music and stood. “I’m going to tell Billy you said that and he’s going to come beat the crap out of you, so there.”
Isaak laughed. “I’m willing to take the chance.”
