After the gig, we sat at the pub and talked and had a couple pints
- We did great!
Josie said lighting a cigarette. I nodded my head
- Yeah, for our third gig we actually didn't mess up this time if you know what I mean
I said nudging Aeliana in the arm, she looked at me and rolled her eyes
- Oh my bad my bass stopped working
Me and Josie laughed and Aeliana frowned
- It was funny, come on! It's a moment we'll never forget
We laughed when two boys came up to us
- Mind if we buy you ladies a drink?
Josie sighed
- Honey, I'm not into men
The boy scoffed and looked her up and down
- Sweet
She flipped him off and got up
- Where are you going Joe?
- Gonna see my girlfriend
- Ok well, bye have fun
The boy looked at me and Aeliana and put his hands on the counter
- So, what's your drink of choice?
- Um-
Aeliana stopped me and looked at me winking
- Bloody Mary's
Bloody Mary's? What the hell is she talking about
- Bloody Mary's? Um ok, can we get two bloody mary's please
- I uh-
The boy looked over at Aeliana and smiled at her I looked over at her and she was blushing a little I nudged her in the arms and smirked and kicked my legs a little
- What is it?
- Mm, I like your uh accent
- M-mine?
- Mhm
Aeliana blushed and smiled
- Thank you I-I uh like your accent
- Really? I used to avoid talking with it but uh.. you.. y'know...
She smiled
- I'm Glen

- Sure, that's me
- Oh my god, your my idol!
- Seriously, that's so cool
She smiled and was blushing. I watched them talk and laugh
- Y'know I'm gonna head out
- Oh ok, it was nice meeting you
- Yeah, yeah, whatever oi Glen let's go to another pub
I looked at him in shock
- Ah, I'm sorry I have to go
Aeliana's face went from happy to sad when Glen said that
- Oh ok
They had left and Aeliana came up to me and jumped
- Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!
She smiled and danced around the room I smiled and laughed
- I'm so- Ah!
She yelled in excitement and grabbed my hands
- Oh my god!
- Ok, ok!
- Glen Matlock actually talked to me? He talked to me? He talked to me!
She said excitingly.
