I walked into the pub with my guitar hung on my back. It's only four in the afternoon and the pub is still empty, just the employees are here. "Sash you're early" Aris smiled gently at me as he spoke. Leo who just came out of the storage room waved at me, flashing his bright set of teeth.
"Yeah. I will have a playlist dry run before the crowd comes" I explained, putting my guitar on a chair. "Selena's not here yet?" I asked curiously, she texted me awhile ago that she's on her way.
Leo's face turned gloomy upon my question. I furrowed my eyebrows waiting for their answer. "Uhh she's outside Sash. She's talking to some dudes that came here awhile ago" Aris answered. I glanced through the glass window and saw her back, she must be talking to clients or family friends.
I start setting up the sound system. I plugged the instrument cables and adjusted the stereo's volume to my desired loudness. I sat on the bar stool and tuned my guitar as I sound checked the microphone.
I saw my reflection on the glass window and sighed upon seeing how simple I look. With this faded skinny jeans, thin-fabric white shirt and worn-out converse high tops I'm not even wondering anymore why in my seventeen years of existence never once did a guy confessed his feelings to me, just look at how I look and you'll understand. "ehem" I cleared my throat, it kind of became a habit now.
"Aris" I called through the microphone and he immediately stopped wiping a table to look at me. "Does the mic sound good?" I asked hesitantly. He gave me a thumbs up signaling me to proceed which I gladly returned with a smile.
"There's somethin' bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Oh, yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why
But with you I'd dance in a storm
In my best dress
Fearless"
I smiled at the sight of Leo and Aris grooving to the song and clapping like seals. I suddenly felt like I'm having a concert with just the two of them as my audience.
"Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something, it's fearless
Ohhhhhh yeah"
I stopped strumming the guitar when my glance fell on a familiar face watching me intently. What is he doing here? Is he some sort of a stalker? hell no.
He's standing there leaning on the doorway with his arms crossed looking deadly handsome. When I met his gaze, he smirked like a villain, sending me shivers to my spine. How can this Hoshi guy be this fearless and act up like this. He's really something...something annoying.
