The smell of pizza and the view of the stars above me was the perfect place for me especially when paired with the silence around us. I took a deep breath and looked down to Avi's large gemstone eyes.
"You're very pretty," he said.
"You keep saying that."
"Well, you are."
"I know I am."
He sat up a little straighter and smiled back at me, as if hearing me say that made him happier. "You want to record in the Brewery, right? Any particular type of music?"
"EDM."
"Why do you want to record in a studio? Can't you do that at home?"
I shook my head. "Anyone can record at home. I've done it before, but there's a certain resonance with vocals recorded through high quality microphones in a sound proof area that would blow your mind."
"Yeah? Your voice already blows my mind."
"You're bad at flirting."
"I am. I agree."
I laughed. His sudden self-deprecation caught me entirely off guard. Most guys like him... are usually into women, first off. They're usually very confident in their flirting abilities, but he'd fully accepted that he couldn't do it and was using that to his advantage. Smart. I liked that.
"What about you?"
"Get money, fuck everything that breathes," Avi said, rushing through each word as if he didn't want me to hear him.
"Excuse me?"
He laughed and clasped his hands, pressing the back of one against his smile. Avi had a very nice smile, now that I was actually looking and not pissed off by it. "I'm kidding. I promise. I'm just freelancing right now."
"Freelancing? So like, what are you doing?"
"I sing. Coffee shops. Bars. Opening Acts. Anywhere I can really."
"You have a great voice."
He went to answer, but there was a pizza set between us, halting almost all actual conversation. He was staring at me as I bit halfway through a slice of pizza. I furrowed my brow at him but he refused to look away. It was like he didn't mind getting caught looking like a creep.
"Is there something on my face?"
"Dimples!" He smiled and took another bite. "They show when you're eating."
"They do?"
"You're so cute."
I was beginning to like him.
