Miss Jackson || Brendon Urie fanfic

3. Alex

We walk into the Starbucks shop, where Brendon immediately gets greeted by one of the baristas. 

"Hi, Bren, nice to see you again. Who is this wonderful lady you brought with you?"

"Calm your tits, Amy. This is Alex, my new neighbor. And maybe I'd like to order something?"

I see this girl, whose name is apparently Amy, touch both of her boobs and turn back to Brendon.

"They're calm, boi. But be careful... sometimes they shift moods, out of nowhere, and then they attack. Now, what do you want?"

"Same as usual for me, and a hot chocolate for the lady would be amazing, thank you."

"Won't take long. Are you taking it with you or will you stay here for a while?"

Brendon looks at me, but I don't really care.
"We'll stay a while. Be a doll and bring it to our table, would you?"

"Sure."

Brendon takes my arm and drags me to a table in the back. Why not near the window? I love sitting next to a window. Bah, fuck it. I'm fine. But I do have some questions...

"Who was that girl? You seem to know each other pretty well, or is it just that you come here a lot?"

"My girlfriend."

"Really!?"

"No. I'm single. That's my cousin. God, your face when I said girlfriend... pure gold baby, pure gold." He laughs and he makes the table shake with his laughter.

I just sit there, staring at him with an angry face.

"Ohn, come on, don't be angry at me."

"I don't like being fooled."

"I won't do it again, promise. But I thought you would see I was joking. I mean, that joke is so old."

"Well, maybe I'm a little naive."

"You'll get rid of that."

At that moment, Amy arrives at our table with our drinks. She puts them down and sees my angry face.

"He fooled you, didn't he? He does this sort of stuff to everyone, don't worry, you'll get used to it."

"Oh, so he's always like this?"

"You haven't known each other for long, have you?"

"We met like an hour ago or something."

"Well, in that case, to answer your question: yes, he's always like this."

"Guess I'll get used to it?"

"Don't worry, baby, you will. Now, as much as I'd like to stay with you, some people have work to do, so unfortunately, I have to leave you alone. See ya later!"

"Bye, Amy" Both Brendon and I answer at the same time.

We stayed in Starbucks for an hour. By now, I could just close my eyes and see every detail of Brendon's face in my mind. I only say that to explain how much time I had to study his face. I've seen every little detail of it. There are a few things I hadn't really noticed before. He has full lips, and dark chocolate brown eyes, but what surprised me the most, was this: he has a huge forehead! How come I didn't notice that earlier?

Right now, we're touring through the city, while Brendon is pointing at some things he thinks I need to notice. Sometimes he pulls over and we go for a little walk, but for some weird reason, we stay in the car most of the time.
We've been talking a lot, so we got to know each other better. I'll tell you in short who he is. His full name is Brendon Boyd Urie, he's now twenty-one years old. He has been in a few relationships, but is enjoying the life of a single man right now. But still, he doesn't live completely alone. He has two dogs. Penny Lane and Bogart. He loves to play music and sing along. And another thing that's really cool: he has a pool in his backyard! And he told me some stories, what he did... God... He even jumped of his garden shed, into his pool. Backflipping. This guy is crazy, damn. He did some shit in his life. Maybe some things weren't that safe, but he told me something about that too. You never know what day will be your last, so take life as it comes and enjoy every moment. And always be you, don't let anyone tell you who you can and can't be. You do you. I think that's a valuable way of living. He takes people as they are, not a lot of people do that these days... But he's right. You need to be yourself, you need to be who you really are, not who others want you to be. Yes, today was an important lesson about the valuable things in life.
