DRUNKEN KNIGHT - YUNGBLUD

~Special~

After all of the drunk people left, my father and I started collecting the dirty glasses.
"Y'all go ahead, I'll see y'all tomorrow mates!" I heard Dom saying to his two friends as they stepped outside. He quickly looked at me and then walked up to us to help us clean.

"You don't have to do that Dominic, it's not part of your job!" my dad instantly told him.

"It's okay Mr. Knight! We'll finish faster this way!" the boy smiled politely.

"You're a good young man Dominic! I appreciate that!" my father patted his shoulder and we continued cleaning around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An hour later we were finished, my dad put on his jacket and waited for me to do the same.
"Umm.. I will stay for a bit longer, if that's okay with you!" I exclaimed.

"Oh! Okay, yeah, of course!!! Just be safe!" he pinched my cheek and made it to the exit.

"C'mon man!" Dom fastly took my hand in his and led me to the stairs, soon enough we were standing on my mezzanine.
"It's your safe space here, let's talk!" he sat on the little couch, my dad had put there for me years ago, and patted on the empty spot beside him.

"There's really nothing much to say.. He didn't manage to do something really bad to me." I sat next to him.

"Ya still came back earlier than I expected.. So the date was shit! Did he try to do something bad to ya then?" he looked quite worried.

"I mean.. I met him at the park, he wanted to stay there for a while so we could have a conversation without the noise and shit.. I took him to a bench in a crowded spot, but he insisted that we should sit at a less crowded place.. So we ended up sitting away from the people. The first thing he asked was why I don't have a boyfriend.. As if it's necessary.. Then he tried to find out if I like one night stands and when I said I don't, he tried to throw himself at me.. He tried to kiss me, and I ended up kicking him! He then said some bad things about me... How I'm not special and I don't deserve the chase. I spitted on him and left, wish my spit had made it to his face though, not gonna lie!" I chuckled thinking back to it.

"What a fookin wanker! If only I were there, I would've punched him till all of his teeth had fallen off his madafuckin mouth! That's so wrong, in so many ways! I'm so angry right now! Damn!" he clenched his jaw.

"It's okay.. Don't sweat it! I'm fine!" I tried to calm him down.

"No man.. Nothing of this is okay.. Even the shit he said to ya is so bloody wrong! Who is he to say to ya that you're not special?! You're special, don't ever let anyone make you think you're not..!" he shaked his head.

"Okay, it was not nice to hear that at that moment.. But it's okay!"

"No! I'm ashamed that people like him exist.. Cunts! I should've been there!" he mumbled to himself.

"You're too overprotective over someone you met a week ago.." I looked at him in the eyes.

"I mean.. I mean.. Ya know when a person is special, or when ya vibe with em.. Ya know right away! So yea I'm pissed that he treated ya like this, I like ya! But the way he treated ya is wrong in general." he looked back at me.
"Wait here, I'll be right back!" he quickly said and ran off. I lit up a cigar.
A minute later he came back with his guitar and sat back on the couch.
"I'll sing to ya, so ya forget about that twatface." he chuckled and started playing the instrument.
I listened to his voice, singing all of those popular songs that I liked until my cigar died.. It was the best thing in the world. I started feeling more and more relaxed, but I tried to stay awake.

"It's alright love, ya can relax, you're safe!" he exclaimed when he finished one of the songs.
I lied down in fetal position and waited for another song.
He started playing God Only Knows by The Beach Boys and I slowly closed my eyes.
His voice was everything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up with his scent everywhere around me.
It took me 5 or 6 seconds to realize where I was and I figured I had fallen asleep on the couch the other night, while Dom was singing to me.
I looked down at my body, Dom's jacket was lying on top of me, like a blanket.
No wonder why everything smelled like him.
What a nice way to wake up.

I slowly got up and looked at the empty spot on the couch, he was nowhere to be found. His guitar was still there on the small table in front of me though.

"Dom?" I shouted.

"I'm right here love! I'm coming up!" he shouted back and soon enough he appeared at the top of the staircase. He had a tray in his hands.
"I thought ya'd be hungry! I went out, got us some breakfast!" he put the tray in front of me. A full English breakfast was served.

"Without your jacket?!?" I shouted at him.

"Without my jacket.. Sorry mum!" he chuckled as he sat back next to me.

"You're unbelievable! But this looks good! Thank you for thinking of my empty stomach!" I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Of course! Not a big deal! I would've cooked it myself, but I didn't want to make a mess in the back room!" Dom laughed.

"You're cooking?" I asked him impressed.

"Yea.. A couple of things! My steak is the best though! Ya have to try it sometime!" he proudly spoke.

"Is that a dinner invitation?"

"Maybe! It'd be fun, ya know!"

"I'll think about it.. Don't know if I want to be poisoned at such a young age!" I joked and he gave me a funny look.
"I'm teasing you, I'm teasing you!"

"I knooow! So how did ya sleep? I know this small couch isn't ideal, but I still slept pretty well with my head resting on the wall!" he laughed.

"Poor you! You should have left! I didn't sleep that bad!"

"I didn't want to leave! I got inspired yesterday.."

"You did?" I stared at him confused.

"Yea.. I wrote something.. I didn't finish it.. But I wrote something for ya! I mean inspired by yesterday's events..!" he scratched the back of his neck.

"Really?! I wanna hear it!" I instantly shouted.

"Eat your breakfast first!" he said and took one of the plates himself. I took the other one and we started eating in silence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, it might not be the best.. But I wrote it overnight, go easy on me!"

"Just sing!!!"

He took his guitar and softly touched the strings. He looked at me one last time and then started singing.

"Will you meet me at the mezzanine at three?
We can smoke my love
And  I'll sing you to sleep
'Cause this world's been pretty ordinary without you around
So meet me at the mezzanine at three

Are  you hungry love?
Do  you want something to eat?
There's a couple places I've got up my sleeve
'Cause  this world's been fucking ordinary without you around
So meet me at the mezzanine at three
If you're bored or you can't get to sleep
Just call on me and I'll be there, you'll see
Meet  me at the mezzanine at three"

"Uuum... That was amazing... I am lowkey speechless.."

"Ya make the world less ordinary.. You're fookin special." he awkwardly said.

"That's very sweet of you Dom!" I wrapped my arms around his own arm and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"That's.. That's amazing!.. That ya liked it I mean!" he shyly giggled and got up.
"Time to leave love!" he offered me his hand and I followed his lead.
