OCEAN EYES III Alessia Russo

18

I woke up by my alarm and turned it off. I changed my clothes and walked down to the gym. I conected my phone to my headphones and looked through the folder. I sighed as i saw a lot was cardio. "Hey" i heard Mandy say and i turned around. "Hey" i said and gave her a hug. I began doing the things on the folder while Mandy was on her macbook on a bench. I filmed her through the mirror and then me. "Seriously again" i said and laughed. I posted it to my story and began swiping through it while i was hill running. I saw so many people had resposted my song to their story. I put the music on louder and finished up my whole work out.

Once i was done i ran up the stairs. I saw clothes already ready on my bed. I took of my clothes and took a shower. When i was done there i went out. I put on all my clothes and went back down again. I sat down by the dinning table and greeted the Russo family. "Got you something" Mandy said and held up a diamond record of the song hall of fame. "Oh my" i said and gave her a hug. I looked at the record and smiled. "Came in this morning" she said and i laughed. "Owh my god thats awesome" i said and smiled. I got congratulations from the Russo family and took a picture with them while luca and gio held up the record. Mandy had texted it to me. I first send it to Alessia and then posted it on insta. "This song is amazing" Gio said and i smiled. "I tried my best on it" i said and smiled. We all ate breakfast and Mandy started smacking my arm. "We have to go" she said. "Don't smack me then" i said and stood up. I grabbed the shake and we said goodbye. We ran to the car and jumped in. The car started driving and i drank up the shake. I went on my phone and saw so many edits with the song. Once we were at the adress Mandy and i both stepped out. Vanity staff came too us and we followed them inside. They handed me different clothes and i put them on. I sat down by hair and went on my phone. I texted a couple of times with Alessia and once we were done, i got motioned to sit somewhere else. I got handed a water bottle and took a couple of sips. There was a table infron of me. "So today we are going to try dutch vs Australian snacks" she said and smiled. "Have you checked with allergies"? I said and they nodded. Mandy shook her head softly and i nodded. "So if you can film the intro then we can get started" she said and i nodded again. "Hi guys, my name is Daan katuin and today at vanity fair i will be trying dutch versus Australian snacks" i said and the nodded. I got served two plates. One with lays chips and one with cheezels. "Owh damn" i said and picked up the lays. "When i was younger i got to pick out one bag of chips a year and i always choose these because they were fun" i said slid them on my finger. "Like if you are going to marry someone" i said. "Think you girlfriend would say yes if you propose with this"? She asked. "Yess think so" i said and smiled. I tried the cheezels and smiled. "Those are good" i said. "Think Australia take the win" i said and smiled. The plates got taken away and i took a sip of my water. A plate with shapes and a plate with tuc tuc were laid down. "These are dutch right"? I said and pointed to the tuc tuc and the girl nodded. "Never had one of them" i said and smiled while i looked at it. "Why didn't you"? She asked. "To expensive" i said and laughed. I took a bite of the of the tuc tuc. "Oh that's dry" i said and opened the water bottle. I took a sip and looked at. I took a bite of the shapes. "Oh god" i said and took another sip. "There both dry" i said and started laughing. "What do you think of it"? She asked. "Glad i was poor" i said and laughed. "No i will chose the australian one" i said and smiled. The cup of i think chocolate milk was laid down. "So here we have milo and chocomel" she said. "Owh milo i know, it's pretty big in Thailand" i said and took a sip. "Did you make it with sugar"? I asked. "Yeah that's awfull, need to use condensed milk" i said. I took a sip of the chocomel and smiled. "Owh this is bringing back memories" i said. "If you used condensed milk i would've chosen yours but no i have to go with The Netherlands" i said and smiled. They took away the cups.  "What is your all time favourite snack"? She asked. "Fruit i think, I don't snack actually because of the allergies" i said and laughed. Two sandwiches were laid down. "So one is with vegamite and one is appelstroep" she said. "Appelstroop" i said and laughed. "Owh this going to be fun, never had that too but i have heard of it" i said and laughed. "This is turning into a Daan tries snacks from her own country" i said and laughed. I took a bite of the vegamite and it was awfull. "Why the hell would you eat that" i said and got handed a red bull zero. "Come on you try it" i said and motioned Mandy to come. "For everyone Mandy my lovely sister in law" i said and she smiled. She took a bite and then my red bull. "Owh gosh" she said and i laughed. I took a bite of the the other sandwich "Owh it's quite nice, would never eat it again tho but it's okay" i said and handed the sandwich over to mandy. "Owh that's good" she said and took another bite. She took the plate and walked off. "Netherlands" i said and smiled. The plates and two slices of bread with sprinkels were laid down. "This is fairy bread"? I said and looked at it. "Heard about it" i said. "Owh my god hagelslag" i said and smiled. I took a bite. "Owh walk down memory lane" i said and smiled. "This on the other hand, can i eat it"? I said and looked at Mandy. "The said it was organic" the director said. "Yeah I don't know" i said and pushed the plate forward. "Not taking my changes" i said and laughed. "Netherlands" i said and smiled. They took the plates and new plates were laid down. "Socijcenbroodje" i said and laughed. "And a sausage roll" i said. "Think there pretty equal" i said and smiled. I motioned mandy to come to me. We both took a bite out of each of them. "Still think there equal"? The director asked. "Equally disgusting" Mandy and i both said in sync. "Yeah no not for me" i said and laughed. "Not for me either" Mandy said and we laughed. "That was it" the director said. "Owh that's short" i said and laughed. "How did you find it"? She asked. "It's okay, sorry about the fairy bread but it's just health reasons" i said and smiled. "So Netherlands won" she said and i tapped my chest. "Of course" i said and smiled. "Thank you for joining us today" she said. "No worries" i said and the cameras were cut. I stood up and took a sip of my red bull. "Thank you Daan" she said. "You ready to do the interview" she said and i nodded. We walked over to a different room and i wrapped my arm around Mandy. I looked at my phone and saw a couple of texts form Alessia. 'Hi babe how is it going' 'hope the interview is a little okay' she texted. I took a picture of Mandy and me and send it to Alessia. We got into the room and there was another girl. I introduced myself and sat down. "You ready" she said and i nodded. "What got you into music" she asked. "Oh my, I don't know. I remember that i was always writing down lyrics and making sounds with thing i could find" i said and smiled. "Ocean eyes" she said and i smiled. "What was your inspiration for that song" she asked. "Did you know, Alessia the girl who i wrote ocean eyes about asked me that exact same question" i said and smiled. "I wrote ocean eyes when i was 16 so 4 years ago. I went to a football match at het uni and i fell in love with Alessia and her eyes. So she was my inspiration for the song" i said and smiled. "You just received a diamond plate for hall of fame, how do you feel about that" she said. "I feel really grateful for it, i appreciate everyone who is showing love for that song. Its been a blessing to recive another diamond plate" i said and smiled. "Where do you see yourself in 10 years"? She asked. "Oh really" i said and laughed. "I did not saw that one coming" i said and smiled. "10 years, i'm 30 damn" i said. "I hope i'm still making music, married with Alessia and just living my life" i said and smiled. "You have a lot of tattoos" she said and i nodded. "Were going left to right" i said and laughed and she smiled a little. "Which one is your favourite" she asked. "I have a couple" i said and stood up. "I have here my brother saying he's proud of me in his handwriting" i said and showed it to her. "Here i have mandy who says she love me in her handwriting" i said and smiled. "How long do you have those"? She aksed. "Think i was 17" i said and nodded. "Could be 16" i said and smiled. "Would you if you could time travel would you go in the past or into the future" she said. "Past 100%" i said and smiled. "Why that"? She asked. "So i could hug my brother again" i said and her face kind of went shook. "What would you be doing if you weren't an artist" she asked. "Think i would still be in construction" i said and smiled. "You have signed a lot of people" she said and i nodded. "Who is your favourite" she asked. "I don't do favourites " i said and smiled. "That was all" she said. "Oh okay" i said and smiled. I stood up and walked back to the set. "Just a couple of pictures" she said and i nodded. I stood on the mark and posed a couple of times. The photographer held his tumbs up and me and Mandy said goodbye to everyone. We went back to the car. I texted a couple of times with Alessia and how we were both exited to somehow see eachother again. "So i have this idea" i said and mandy smiled. "Lionesses media team agreed to do a video together right"? I siad and mandy nodded. "If the go to the final yeah" mandy said and i nodded. "So, of course they are going, they are bring it home again" i said and pushed Mandy a little. "Go on" she said and i smiled. "What if we film the lioneeses one by one holding there childhood hall of fame picture" i said and mandy smiled. "And then we surprise them with the people in that picture" i said and smiled. "And you just singing the song inbetween"? Mandy said. "Yeah" i said and smiled. "I'll contact them but i think it's a lovely idea" she said and smiled. We pulled up to the house and we both stepped out. I ran upstairs and got changed. I ran downstairs and began doing my work out. I saw Mandy filming me a couple of times and i laughed.
