Brooklyn Baby - H.S

Part Six

Tonight, has been okay so far I've sang a few old songs that I haven't sang in a while and then a few covers, I've spent most the night looking for Harry in the bar but he's not been here.

Its only 12 though so he's got time to arrive yet, I remember the first time he came it was around 1:30am and I'm not bothered if he shows up late, I just want to see him.

Gen did end up driving me tonight, which I was grateful for besides I do like spending time with her outside of work.

When we're at work we don't get to talk much apart from before we open and when I'm shouting order through to her, so it's nice to have the freedom to talk more without distractions.

Niall and her have been talking all night which is really sweet to watch, he seems to really like her and I just hope he won't fuck her around like guys she has dated in the past, she seems to really like Niall as well so I just hope he doesn't mess her around.

By the looks of things, he dragged his friend Louis along again, bless the poor guy he's sat not talking to anyone and drinking at any chance he gets, he seems like a nice guy.

My mind keeps going back to Harry and seeing him this morning, I don't think I've had a crush on a guy like this for a long time, I've had a few things with guys in the past, but nothing compared to this.

Harry makes me feel like I'm a schoolgirl again, getting all giddy and awkward around the boy I have a crush on, he gives me humungous butterflies in my stomach, and it feels like fireworks are being set off in me whenever I see him.

Especially the other day when he complimented me on how I looked on the date when he could tell I was uncomfortable wearing a dress, it makes me feel amazing inside.

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

I start singing my cover of Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac, a lot of the older guys in here know this one so I tend to sing it a lot of the time I'm performing, I glance over at the door hoping to see Harry walking in but still no sign.

All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

I lean my head back singing as I do and look down at my guitar making sure I'm not messing up, I lift my head slightly locking eyes with Gen who is looking at me concerned.

I furrow my brows at her confused on what's wrong, and she mouths 'where is he?' to me, I look around the room as if I haven't already noticed he isn't here, shrugging my shoulders continuing.

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless.

All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

I look up after singing and lock eyes with the small blued eyed guy from the other night, Louis.

He has a big, oversized hoodie on which looks 10x too big for him, and then his hood placed on his head slightly, black jeans and then black and white checked vans.

He's looking at me intently and singing along to the song, I smile down at him and admire that he knows such a classic song, that I'm sure a lot of our generation don't know.

He smiles back up at me waving his head softly to my guitar playing, taking small sips from his beer.

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
