Just Like Heaven

Chapter 2

It's been a while since Lou left, I keep thinking about her lips against the skin of my ear... My heart races only by having that thought.

My shift's just about to finish, all I have left to do is mop the floors and clean the glassware, which, usually, Will and I do together.

"So... I saw her say goodbye to you." He says in an annoyingly playful tone.

"She gave me her number and her club's address... She told me I could go over any time I wanted."

"Will you call her?"

"I want to... Actually I was just thinking about texting her, but I don't know if she's still up, I mean, it's almost two in the morning."

"You said she owns a club... She might be up, who knows?"

"Should I? What do I even say?"

"I would." he snickers "Tell her that it was nice meeting her... I don't know, I'm not good at giving advice."

I snort and take my phone out of my back pocket, I've already saved Lou's contact info.

"Hey, it's Y/N, it was really nice meeting you!" I type and send it.

My phone chimes a few minutes later

She replies: "Hey, I was hoping you'd text or call."

I show Will her reply.

"Dude, what now?" I ask, panicking.

"Play it cool, I guess..."

"Okay... but, how?"

"Just be yourself."

"Well, I did... What are you doing?" I text her.

"I'm still at the club, waiting until we have to close up, you?" She replies.

"We've just closed, almost done cleaning up."

"Do you want to come over?"

I gasp as I read her reply.

"She asked me if I want to go over."

"Do you?" He smirks and raises an eyebrow.

"I do." I say as I keep cleaning up the glassware.

"Then go." He laughs and takes the glass I'm currently holding.

"What? Right now?"

"Yes, go!"

"Really? Are you sure?" I point to the pile of dirty glasses in the sink in front of me "I still need to finish cleaning these..."

"I'll finish cleaning them, I know you'd do the same for me." He interrupts me.

"Okay, I owe you one..."

I hug him and give him a friendly kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you." I say as I pick up my phone and the rest of my stuff.

"Yeah!" I type with shaky hands "Do I text you when I get there?"

"Yes, please." she replies.

I say goodbye to Will before running out, I check up on my phone the directions to Lou's club and start driving. I know I'm at the right place, when I hear loud music coming from the inside.

"I'm here." I text her.

I park on the sidewalk and wait for my cell phone to chime with her reply, but to my surprise, she comes out from the back of the building. I stare at her, speechless, she looks stunning.
