What if? || Duskwood

7.

Once the song was over, we returned to our table, where Phil was already standing.

-You girls were amazing- we didn't even manage to approach and we already heard his voice.

-Hi beautiful, I don't think I know you yet-he turned to me this time, and then he came closer.

-Could you move away?-I asked as he was standing way too close.

-Not until I know your name-he continued.

-Back away from her-I heard this time behind me, which surprised me because I didn't recognize the voice at all.

-Excuse me?- It was obvious that he was annoyed because his expression immediately changed.

-What you heard- replied the stranger.

-Next time I won't let it go that easily-Phil whispered in my ear, which sent shivers down my spine.

After these words, he returned to the bar, where a long queue had already formed. I turned around and there was a mysterious figure behind me.

-Thank you so much for your help- I said, then smiled at the man.

-You're welcome Polly-he kissed me on the cheek, then immediately left the bar, and I was completely stunned.

-What was that supposed to be?- Dan finally blurted out.

-Did he say my name?- I asked, still in shock.

-Are you deaf now? - He chuckled.

I didn't know what to think about all this. It crossed my mind that it might be Jake, but that was impossible. After all, he would write that he's fine, right?

-Polly, are you okay?-Jessy asked as I kept staring at the spot in the corner.

-Yes, yes- I replied.-He probably just recognized me from Lilly's video.

It was the only rational explanation I could think of at the time. However, I knew that this evening would stay in my memory for a long time.
