22 Golden confetti (2/2)

« Oh right sorry, give me your phone. »

She gave it to him and he wrote it, he thought of giving a fake number to avoid being annoyed but it was very mean so he gave the real one, one day he would have a drink with her and that would be all, he could have refused her straight away but would it be embarrassing to be rejected in front of such a crowd ? Everyone's eyes were still on Sam.

That night Sam slept extremely well, he got home from the audition around 8 PM, he called Em and had a conversation about everything with her, she told him about her day, he did the same and finally ate a bit and went to sleep. All that stress had made him tired like never before. He slept until 11 the next morning and woke up very satisfied, he didn't have to wake up early today as the second part of the show would come in two weeks, they still had 6 episodes of auditions to shoot, he was lucky to be in the first one.

Since he was in Paris he decided to use this opportunity, today he would do the same as he did in Toulouse and sing in public. He didn't have anything to do anyway so it was a good opportunity.

Today nobody would be there to hold the camera for him so he took a tripod with him, he would do a fixed plan of him and that would do the job for now.

He ate a breakfast, dressed lightly with a white oversized shirt and folded his sleeves, add to that a simple black pants and white shoes and he had the perfect relaxed look, this time he used some asian celebrities to inspire his look, he always felt like they had a great fashion taste... even though sometimes it was a bit too eccentric.

Finally he got on his bike and went toward the Eiffel Tower, there were three places in Paris that would be packed with people during the day first was the Arc de Triomphe, then there was the Louvre museum and finally he guessed that the Eiffel Tower must probably be the most popular touristic spot.

He found a place, set the camera and sat down on the ground to start playing. Recently he had been listening to an artist that he loved very much, her name was Umi so he thought of doing her a tribute he did a cover of her « Remember me » and « Butterfly » songs, both where his favorite so he started with it.

It wasn't unusual to see artists coming here to make shows so nobody was surprised to see Sam doing his thing and most of the natives didn't take the time to look, they were tired of it but this place had way more tourists than natives, people came from everywhere in the world to visit Paris. Most of them were Chinese, Korean and Japanese though, and these people were a great public, at each song's end they would cheer.

As he had made another « subscribe to my YouTube channel » sign, some from the hundred of people around him went to check it out. Stats from 10 years ago said that each 4 seconds there was a visit at the Eiffel Tower so Sam didn't lack public, he just kept doing his thing and the crowd kept growing.

Now that he had tens of thousands of subscribers on YouTube this method wasn't as effective as it used to be in the beginning but he still loved this feeling of singing for people, whenever he opened his eyes and saw a smile in the crowd he would be happy himself. Until he got the system he didn't know that making people happy could make him happy, he had another objective now. It was a bit selfish but he wanted to make people happy to make himself happy.

That night also he slept very well, recently he felt like his life was going on the right path and he was very happy about it.
