Perhaps Love

Chapter 13

After 1 week.

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I'm listening to our band while I'm on duty. Every lyrics of that song makes my heart aches. Oh what's this? I sighed. I look around we don't have a lot of customers tonight. It's just weekdays.

I'm wiping our glass when Dylan came. "Hi honey!"

I glared at him. "Honey your face! If he hears you calling me honey for sure he'll think you're into me." Hmmmp. He knows who I'm talking about. It's the member of our band artists.

He glared at me. "Good thing you're my friend if not that glass you're holding right now will be break on your face."

"Bleeeh!" and glared at him. We're teasing each other when someone spoke.

"Ohhh lover's quarrel? I thought you like me Fran?" Steven joked.

I was about to say something when I saw him. I felt like my face turned all red when I saw him. He's staring at me blankly and I can't explain why.

"Oh my Fran! You're blushing huh? Wait a minute there's something strange about you nowadays. Since last time we went for Benedict's birthday. After that you look so blooming and beautiful. Right Carl?" And he look at Sven, "Right Sven?" There's a hint of curiosity on the he asked Sven.

Sven just look away, "I don't know." He just turn he gazed to Dylan. "Dy, same order for us please."

"Copy Sven." Dylan said. And start to make drinks for them

"Thank you. I'll go first to our table." And he just tap Carl's shoulder and left without even glancing at me.

"Ehem, looks like you make our friend out of his mood again Steve." He smiled at me.

"By the way Fran, Steve is right you look so different these days. Maybe you have a boyfriend huh?" And he leaned at the bar counter and his face is so near to mine.

"Carl Bro, you don't want her boyfriend to get mad. I'll bet his face right now are in a beast mode." He removed Carl from the counter. And he smiled at me.

"What are you talking about?" I really have no idea what were they saying. "I don't have a boyfriend."

"Yeah she don't have, but she like someone else, mmmm maybe not like anymore. Love I think?" Dylan said and he laughed.

"Oh my Fran, you hurt me so many times. Tsk who could be that guy is?" He asked me with curiosity.

"Oh please! Don't believe what Dylan said. He's just annoying me." And I continue what I'm doing.

"Here's your drinks. Should I take these to your table?"

"Yeah please, And Can Fran bring that to us?" Steven asked.

"Of course." I said.

Carl shakes his head, "Steve, someone will really get mad right now." He chuckled.

Steven laughed. "We'll see. Still in denial Bro."

I heard them saying to each other while I'm putting their drinks on my serving plate. I just shake my head. These two sometimes, I can't understand them.
