Our Song ON HOLD

4. A Good Time

Libbie POV

Standing out side the video venue waiting for Damian I found myself feeling incredibly nervous with no idea why. I had taken my time getting ready even roping my manager in to help me find and appropriate outfit.

In the end we had settled for black skinny jeans, a black sccop neck tank top and leather jacket with knee high black stiletto boots. When I had looked in the mirror I had found myself having a rare moment of feeling sexy and confident and I kind of liked it.

I nervously pace as I wait the only sound is my heels clicking on the floor and then almost liked I sensed his presence I look up. He smiles as he walks towards me and I feel my heart flip. Like me he had chosen tight fitting black jeans, but he had gone with a purple shirt that is only half buttoned with a silver cross chain and black shoes.

"Hey look at you nightingale you look amazing" he smiles as he offers me his arm

"Why thank you" I smile "you scrub up well yourself dream lover"

"Listen I want you to have a goof time tonight so if at any point you don't feel comfortable just say and we can leave" he says

"I appreciate that but I'm sure as long as I'm with you I'll be fine" I smile and he smiles back proudly

We arrive at the bar and as we move through it to find ourselves a table I take a good look around. The bar is slightly dark, loud but with a fun atmosphere. Damian tugs my arm gently and guides me to sit in a booth he's just found. He sits beside me and places a menu between us.

"Alright what do you fancy" he says close to my ear so i can hear him

"What would you recommend?" I ask

"How about we get some wings and fries to share?" He asks

"Sounds good" I smile "throw in a corona with a lime wedge and we have a deal"

"I'll go order and I'll be right back" he says sliding out of the booth

While I wait a begin to bop my head along to the music, occasionally I glance over at him and smile as I think of how different and sweet he is. Suddenly my view is blocked and I find myself looking up at a large long haired man whose smiling down at me.

"Hey pretty lady, can I buy you a drink?" He asks

"Thank you but my friend is already getting me one" I say

"I'm sure you're friend won't mind" he says

"Actually he would" a familiar voice says as a drink is placed in front of me "I brought her here to show her a good time not so she can be harassed by you. So I'd appreciate it if you'd leave her be" he says standing to his full height and making the guy back off

"Sorry man, I didn't mean to upset her" he says "just wanted to buy a pretty lady a drink" he says walking away

"You alright?" He asks sitting beside me and placing an arm around my shoulders "do you want to leave?"

"I'm fine, I'm sure he was harmless" I smile "but thank you for what you did"

"Anytime nightingale" he smiles.

Eventually the food arrives and we take our time eating, talking and laughing. The whole time I'm glad we have become friends and that I'll still be able to talk to him after the video is done as I have a feeling I'm going to miss him when he's gone.

After a couple more drinks we start to make our way back to the hotel, the moon is shining brightly in a sky littered with stars, its a beautiful end to a really good night.

"Thank you I've had fun tonight" I say as I wrap my arms around his arm

"Good I'm glad" he smiles "I feel like we got to know each other a bit better"

"Yeah we did, I mean I never would have pegged you as a baker" I chuckle "and I fully expect to get to try your cookies and cream cheesecake one day"

"Absolutley, if you are ever up my way I will make one" he says "likewise if I'm ever up your way I expect you to make that drink for me......what was it again?"

"Oh, Mango & Pineapple flavour rum, pineapple juice and raspberry lemonade" I say "you have my word I will make you one and I guarantee you will love it"

"Sounds amazing" he says "thank you for coming to the bar with me tonight and I'm sorry about that guy"

"It was great I loved the atmosphere" I say "and don't worry it wasn't your fault"

"So what's on the agenda for tomorrow?" He asks "anymore opptunities for me to go off script?" He laughs

"Oh possibly, tomorrow is the dream wedding scene" I say awkwardly "and then it's on to all the scenes where I'm lip syncing"

"So technically your going to be singing to me?" He smirks

"Technically yes" I say "to start with anyway and then you'll disappear and I'll wake up" I sigh

"Hey its only in the video I'm not really going to disappear" he says softly

"I know it's just I've had so much fun shooting this video I don't want it to be over" I say

"Well it's not over yet and I'm sure there is lots more fun to be had.........this is you" he says looking at the door to my room

"Yeah it is" I say "thank you again for tonight and I will see you in the morning"

"See you bright and early" he smiles "good night nightingale"

"Goodnight dream lover" I say thoughtlessly leaning up and kissing his cheek before going into my room and closing the door
