How You've Changed Me

Chapter 6

Tony led me out of the club, I held onto his hand as we fought our way through a thick crowd of people entering. It felt weird to hold his hand, but something said it was right. I've been having these thoughts a lot when it comes to him. We finally got outside, the air was cool on the skin when the wind blew past me.

"So where are we going exactly?" I questioned, chewing on my lower lip.

"Well there is a bar that tends to play really good music after 10." Tony answered, showing me his smile that could light up the entire room.

"You know this town better than I do. So, why not?" I returned his smile.

"Its just down the road, c'mon." He tilted his head in the direction we were to go.

I stayed silent along side him, my heels clicking against the pavement. We quickly came upon an intersection, with the bar right across the street.

In the corner of my eye, I saw that he was facing me, his beautiful brown eyes taking in my image. I slowly turned towards him and tilted my head slightly like a confused puppy.

"What are you looking at? Do I having something on my face?" I asked, laughing slightly.

"I'm sorry. You just look... So beautiful." Tony finally whispered.

My cheeks felt as if they were on fire, I knew they were turning a deep red. I hid my mouth with one of my hands, trying to hide it. I absolutely hated to blush in front of others.

"Oh hush. That;s probably the alcohol talking for you." I said quietly as I turned away from him, beginning to walk across the street.

"No, it's not. I truly mean it. I only had one beer and I never even finished it." Tony said, following closely behind me.

My cheeks were still hot as I made across to the other side. I turned towards him, my eyes meeting his. My blueish-gray colored eyes his, for a glimmer of a lie, but I saw sincerity.

"If you can't tell, I have major trust issues." I spoke quietly, dropping my gaze to the pavement.

"So do I, it's okay. Im, I was just wondering if you wanted to come to our last show tomorrow. There's a party after and your friends are more than welcome to come too." Tony said, obviously wanting to change the subject.

"I'd have to ask the girls, cause we were supposed to go mattress shopping tomorrow. But I'd probably be able to go." I said flashing him a smile, kind of in awe that he would think of asking me. "The only problem is, I won't have a ride tomorrow." My smile disappeared.

"I uh, can offer you a place to stay on the bus. The boys won't mind." Tony offered, scratching the back of his neck.

I began to chew on my lower lip nervously, thinking about it. This is becoming a habit of mine, when I'm nervous or thinking.

"Are you sure? I really don't want to be a bother to you guys. I'm sure I could get a taxi cab and get there tomorrow." I said, smiling. This was my first night in the apartment with the girls. I hope they wouldn't be angry with me.

"Trust me, the guys will be fine with it. But you might want to text one of the girls, just to ask and let them know. They'd probably be too drunk to understand right now." Tony smiled, "Same goes for the guys." He added in a low chuckle.

"Alright, you've successfully convinced me Mr. Perry, to spend the night with you. There better be room for me." I replied, poking him in the stomach before leading the way down the road to my apartment.

I pulled out my phone to text Kendra about the details for tonight and tomorrow. I really did hope that they would be alright with this... After all they were the ones who left me first.
