BILLIE-HALES & ZEALOUS

Chapter 19

CHAPTER NINETEEN

JAX:
"Wait here, don't move, okay? Just don't move."
She's looking into my eyes pleading with me to listen to her words. So I nod, silently telling her, I'll stay put. Then I watch her head towards the stage and says something to the singer. Whatever she's saying, it's making her smile while nodding her head before speaking with the rest of the band.
Watching her made me take a deep breath. More so when I see her, move to stand in front of the microphone. Yet before speaking, she adjusts the stand to bring the mic up to her level and finally speaks.

"Hey, guys, I um, I'm sorry about the interruption. I promise our amazing entertainment will be back shortly. I-I'm kinda giving him a break. Well, as you know... well, as you've probably seen from Jax's Facebook anyway." she chuckled,"He likes to post a Crap-load of stuff - mostly stuff of me." everybody laughed and agreed, making me grin. "I guess I want to give him this. It's something he can keep with him forever. You know, to remember his special night.
This is for you, my prince. I love you."

Billie then turned her head to tell the band she's ready. Then we hear them as they play and then I hear angels - my angel singing Halo by Beyoncé.
Holy shit, my heart's about to break free. She just looks amazing up there. I'm serious.
Christ, she's in the wrong business. She's hitting all those notes too.

I don't move. I couldn't even if I tried. I'm just completely glued to the floor, but I stayed put while she sang, and she sang it all while looking at me. Billie locked eyes with me, telling me just how she felt, just with her words.
As soon as she finished, the crowd went nuts. Yet she didn't look at them, and neither did I. No, I made my way over there and pull her into my arms. With her feet off the ground, I move in and kiss the life out of her.
Fuck me, I love this woman.
I love, wor lass.

BILLIE-HALES:
Shortly after our little moment, Jax placed my feet back down on the hard dance floor. That's when we become pretty aware that we're not alone, especially when we hear Garret. He makes us chuckle when tells us, to get a room. Only when I turn to look his way the first thing I see or should I say who is her Alyssa.
She's walking towards us and I'm really not sure if I'm ready for this? I'm really not, but I suck it up and stand firm. I'm readying myself for a full-on war with her. Only she surprises me when she smiles and it honestly looks real too. She's smiling at me and now she's holding out her hand.

"Hey, I'm sorry I've not had a chance, to talk to you."
"Yeah, I wonder why? Could my boyfriend be one of them?"
"I'm not sure if you've not noticed already, but my buddy here. Well, he isn't the best at introducing his friends to the love of his life."
She chuckles and all the while this is happening I'm inwardly petrified. Not of her no of how she feels about him.

"I'm Alyssa Jaxon's friend. We kinda grew up together." She's still smiling and I'm still looking at her wondering if she's for real, but I thought I'd be nice. You know, just to see what happens next. So I lift my hand in return and when she places it in mine, she physically relaxes.

"Hi, Alyssa I'm."
Before I can even finish, she says my name for me.
"Yeah, Jax's done nothing, but talk about you. So everyone knows your name and who you are to him. In fact, I think the whole of the UK knows.
I can definitely see why he's fallen hard for you though, I mean, wow seriously your voice is beautiful. I mean, when I'd dragged him up for a dance all he talked about was you it was quite sickening. I had to dump his arse in the end that and I found myself a little hottie.
Come on. I'll buy you a drink and you can tell me, all about how clumsy over there knocked you out."
She suddenly takes hold of my hand and basically kidnaps me taking me over to the bar.

"Oh my god, you should see this guy though. Oft, talk about man-candy."
As we sit at the bar, she places her order and then looks at me waiting for me to tell her what I want.
"Gin, Gin, and lemonade, please, but just a shot of it though."
The barman nods his head and then goes to it. Just as he's about to pass them over, that's when I see Frank stand, at the end of the bar. Yes, you guessed it. She suddenly grabs my arm and leans in, almost whispering her next words.
"Oh my god, there that's him. Oh, fuck-a-duck and call me Rosie he's just delicious."
My eyes go completely wide really not believing my ears.
"Holy shit, Frank! No way, seriously?"
I'm looking at her and she's looking at him all doe-eyed and shit. Holy Bat-balls! She, can't be serious?
"You-you know his name?"
"Well, yeah kinda. Well, since I take pictures of them all then yeah. His name is Frank, Frank Hearty, but he's a little older than us. I mean, you're like what the same age as me?" She grins and nods her head telling me she's just turned nineteen.
"Aly, can I call you Aly?"
She smiles and then nods her head again telling me everyone calls her, anyway.
"Okay, cool. Well, our Frank is like twenty-eight. I really don't think..."
She cuts me off, telling me she really doesn't care about how old he is. Holy shit! I'm sure that her parents would have a fit.
"But seriously, Frank? You really think that he's hot?"
I'm looking at him and I'm just not seeing it. I mean, I guess he has a nice smile, but what the hell do I know? I mean, I'd fallen for a rugby player too granted he's hot as fuck, but even still he was all sweaty and covered in mud and blood. A total no-no for me, but I still fell for him big time.
"Yeah, I mean, he's just I don't know. There's just something about him. He's dark and mysterious like he has a lot of secrets ones that I want to know about."
Oh boy. Oh boy.
"Hey, Frank," I call out and he turns his head to look at us, but his eyes don't land on me. Oh no, they instantly land on Aly.
"This here pretty lady is my new friend, Alyssa - Aly for short."
