The Look Of Love

Chapter 7

A/N: I'm swapping out Katy Perrys performance for Melomania because, it really makes me cringe for some reason 💀 sorry to any lovers of that performance ♥️

and song for this chapter, if you want to listen while reading, is of course Everlong - Foo Fighters. 

Almost immediately after Cooper announced more shots did a man in all black with an ear piece approach our table saying we needed to get ready for our performance. 

I've never been nervous for situations or performances with the boys, it's only the solo stuff that takes my anxiety to another level. After getting through the stress of picking a song any nerves for my evening with the boys vanished as usual. 

We all rose from our seats, discarding the previous idea of having another round however I saw Cooper sneak one as we all followed the stage crew guy. Typical. 

It all went very quickly and in no time at all, our band name was being heard throughout the stadium and the intro to 'Everlong' began to play.

Alex Turner pov:

The lights had began to dim once again, signalling another performance. I didn't take much notice of the fact and kept my attention on my mates. It was only when the name 'Melomania' was spoken through a microphone did my attention switch back towards the stage. 

I'd be lying if i said i hadn't heard of this band. They'd been everywhere for the past half a year and Matt was non stop talking about them. I'd listened to their album upon Matthew's request and it was good, very good and i was surprised they'd only just released one. I was undoubtably impressed. 

I was unaware that we had been seated next to them until Nick pointed it out shortly after they'd taken their seats. It was only then, once i'd stared at the brunette waves of hair hanging over the back of the chair facing me did i realise that it was her . The woman that i'd seen earlier this evening. She was the voice i'd been hearing through mine and matts tangled wired headphones recently and, after realising this fact, i was eager to share her gaze once again. Why i'm not sure. 

I shouldn't of been feeling like this, i'd just gotten out of a messy relationship, and already felt something towards someone i'd only made eye contact with. Safe to say that's never happened before. 

Safe to say i find comfort in the weirdest of things.

It all felt like a rush as we'd risen from our seats and performed. However the few words muttered from her lips seemed to slow it all down completely as i replayed it over and over before singing the opening lyrics to R U Mine?

Alex, you. are. a. nutter.

Maria pov:

After finishing the song, we thanked whoever we where supposed to be thanking and left the stage and thunderous applause behind. 

We relaxed for a few minutes, however it was cut short when we where interrupted by the same stage guy as before. Reminding us that we where missing the award show that we where nominees for. Oops. 

We managed to find our seats fairly quickly once again. I gazed over at the man (Alex) beside me however he seemed to be in some trance, obviously thinking about something so i went to turn back around. 

As i did i heard an 'excuse me' from the same table so i turned back, along with the boys, especially Finn who practically snapped his neck in their direction. 

"We just wanted to say well done for your performance, you smashed it" smiled a man who i'd been told was called Matt and played the Drums. Can you guess who told me? 

The remainder of the table nodded and muttered in agreement to which we thanked and complimented them in return. 

Everyone turned back in their seats and as i reached for a sip of my drink Finn whispered.

"Holy shit we where just complimented by Arctic Monkeys"

"Yes and we won't be again if they find out what a fangirl you are so keep your pants on will you?"

Finn huffed before nodding and returning to his glass. 

..........................

in the time that it took us to find our seats and have a mini conversation with the table beside us it seemed we'd missed the awards of International Male Solo artist which i quickly found out was Bruno Mars. 

That was deserved, i love Bruno Mars.

Anyway. 

On to British breakthrough act. Here we go again. 

A/N: I hope the Alex part was ok!! I'm not sure if i like it or not however it took ages to write so i kept it in. If you thought it was shit and don't want any more Alex povs please let me know!! 

ok that's it, bye!
