Birds in the trees

After Show

I watch them all pass by
The moon & the stars
Let me hold you in my arms, forever more
These cold nights, the park is ours
Standing, by the side
Let you go, oh to the sea, just for me

Don't let me lose my life
Keep holding on
Let the modest go
As my mic goes to and from
Waking up for one more show

We see him in the night
Tell him I'm not afraid of him
I'm not afraid of them
'Cause I won't know

"Thank you guys, you're amazing"

The crowed showered me in shouts and applause when I finished my set. The feeling of performing and connecting was surreal, it completed me. I looked at the masses and just stood there, feeling blessed.

"The show was sick!" Vic congratulated once I entered backstage. All my niggas where there, celebrating and cheering everyone that played. The vibes were perfect.

"Yooooo!" Fam suddenly called from the door and turned around to reveal who was standing behind him.

Seeing Iman there with this huge smile in her face made me oddly happy. "Don!" She exclaimed, pacing towards me.

"Yo girl comin." I heard chance whiz but I didn't even have the time to roll my eyes at him because my vision was soon shadowed by black hair wafting into my face. Coconut and vanilla.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, reciprocating the tight grip her arms had around my neck. It was one of those intense hugs, those I missed you hugs... yeah.

"You came." I whispered leering into her ear.

"I had to" She chuckled slowly ending the hug by pulling away.
"You guys were great and Lud again with the hooks..." she said as she walked passed me to hug the others.

"Back at it with the fangirling over lud." Steve joked after letting go off her.

We all laughed.

Our friendly chit chat was interrupted by the door opening once again and a tall dude, walking up behind iman and covering her eyes with one hand as he hid a bouquet of flowers behind his back.

Neelam sighed at vic who just shrugged, before looking over at me. I turned away, looked back at the guy. Iman put her hands over the large fingers, laughing as she guessed who it could be. "Who is it?"

"Your favourite badass." The guy purred into her ear as he took his hands off imans now bleak face.

She sighed, looked at Neely, vic and me then turned around to face him.

The guy wearing a black hoodie underneath his flannel top, stretched his arms out as if he was expecting a hug that iman didnt seem to be giving him anytime soon. "Oh don't be like that." The guy got into a huff, making iman chuckle dryly as she looked away from him. "I brought you flowers." The guy said, in a sorry attempt of trying to make matters better, stepping closer to E, who still hadn't said a word since his reveal, but apparently her slow head shaking was enough of a signal for the guy since he put one arm on her waist, drawing her closer before putting his other hand on her jaw, pulling it up and planting a kiss on her lips

My stomach was on a rollercoaster, hand in hand with my emotions. It was like seeing Jhene and Sean all over again...

Iman looked impassive throughout the entire kiss which was finally ended by Joey pulling her face away from his.
