Wake Me Up(an Ed Sheeran fan fiction)

Chapter Six

A few weeks rolled by, in which, Sage had Craig and I working half of every day, then she would take us to see something amazing. We had been all over London and seen a lot. But now, Craig and I had pounds of our own. So Sage made us go and do things on our own.

Craig and I left the pub on that Sunday afternoon and Craig headed up the street to another pub. "Where are you off to, Craig?" I asked. He looked back at me.

"I wanted to get aled, but I can't get aled at work." He said. I frowned. Great. Craig is gonna get drunk. What am I gonna do then?

I turned and walked the other direction. There was a lot of pubs and shops on this street. But I wasn't looking for a pub. I don't know what I was looking for.

I walked down the street and turned a corner. On this other street, there was a restaurant. I could go and eat rich people food. I thought, hopefully. A tall man in an expensive suit walked out of the restaurant followed by a woman in a long flowing white dress. Okay maybe not.

I looked down at my own outfit. I was wearing a panda shirt with baggy jeans and my Converse shoes. I definitely don't look rich enough to eat there. I sighed and kept walking.

I walked past a pub and a younger man opened the door to leave. I heard a voice from inside, singing. "Tell me if I'm wrong. Tell me if I'm right." The voice sang. It was a guy and his voice was...amazing!

I slid past the guy who opened the door and went inside the pub. There was a guy on the little stage off to the side of the pub. He had ginger hair and he was sitting on a stool with a guitar in his hands.

"Tell me if I know. Tell me if I do." He sang. "Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to." I sat down at a table near the door and listened to him sing. Holy shit... His voice...

As I stared at this guy, I felt a weird sensation in my head. It was as if I knew the guy. I swear I do, but... How? Soon the song was over and the guy hopped off the stage. He laid his guitar on the guitar stand and walked towards the bar.

He walked past me. When he did, he pulled a pair of glasses out of his pocket and put them on. I instantly recognized his face. "Ed!?" I exclaimed. He froze and looked over at me. His face lit up.

"Reggie! Hello!" He said. I stood up and smiled.

"Dude! You have on of the most amazing voices I have ever heard!" I exclaimed. Ed blushed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Thanks, love." He said. I smiled. Ed called me love... He gestured toward the bar. "I'm getting a drink. You want something?" I shook my head.

"Thank you, but I don't drink." I said, putting a hand out to him. Ed nodded.

"Well, do you want to go somewhere?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow. "I mean... Do you want to have a cuppa tea with me later?" Ugh! I hate tea!

I smiled gently. "No. Thank you for the offer, though." I said. Ed frowned, looking hurt. I frowned too. "I'm sorry." I said. Ed shrugged.

"I'll just be going. See you around." Ed said, walking away. Damnit... I'm such a bitch... Ed had offered to buy me a drink, then to have tea with me. And I rejected him? He was just being sweet!

"Ed, wait." I said. He glanced back at me. I took a deep breath. Maybe he would want to do a gig at Sage's pub sometime? That way, he and I can hang out. "I have a gig offer for you." I said. Ed turned and walked back to me.

"Where?" He asked. I told him where Sage's pub was and he nodded. "I've never played there before. Sounds like a great idea." He said. I smiled.

"Okay. Good. Well, I'll see you... Friday?" I said. Ed nodded.

"I'll be coming tomorrow to see this place, though. I don't want to be playing in a dump!" He said, clearly joking. I half smiled and walked away.

I could feel Ed's eyes burning into the back of my neck. His eyes, so blue. He is so cute! I swear! I shivered at the thought of his eyes. For a split second, I thought of what it would be like to kiss him. Then I pushed the thought away. Jesus! I barely know the guy!

I walked back to Sage's pub, quickly, because I wanted to tell her about Ed's gig. I was excited. If Ed had his gig, I'd get to see him again. Then maybe we could chat? I smiled happily.

When I reached Sage's pub, I went right inside and walked into David, one of the other barmen. He was tall with black hair and big hazel eyes. He was the only Irish guy at our pub. When I bumped David, he dropped the tray he was carrying, shattering six glass cups.

"Fuckin' A!" David exclaimed. With his accent, "fucking" sounded like "focking." I giggled at first, then felt guilty.

"Oh god, David I am so sorry!" I said, kneeling down next to him to help pick up the glass. I looked at his face. It was all red. He kneeled down next to me and his face twisted in pain.

"Look at the fuckin' mess you made, Reggie!" He grumbled. I frowned and picked up glass, setting each piece on the tray. I noticed David was kneeling in glass. That explains why he looks like he is in pain...

"David, get up. I'll clean it up." I said. He shook his head and moved to reach more glass. When he did, I noticed the blood staining his legs and the floor. I smacked his shoulder. "David!" I said. He glared at me. Then his eyes softened.

"Fine. You clean it up." He stood up, still in pain. "Ouch..." He muttered, walking away.

"What happened?" Sage asked, walking over. I explained what happened and Sage laughed. "You're both cack-handed!" She said. I cleaned up the rest of the glass, with a dirty look on my face.

After that, I went to find Sage again and tell her about Ed. But when I found her, she was talking to someone. A familiar ginger. Ed.

Hey guys! That was chapter six! If you were wondering what the song was that Ed was singing, it was "Cold Coffee" which is one of my favorite old Ed Sheeran songs. I'm going to also try to use as much British slang as I can, so this seems a bit more real xD Anyways, vote, comment, and follow!
