Taron took a deep breath and walked up onto the small stage. He'd stood on this spot several times, but no time before this had held such meaning. He'd never sung this particular song but he knew it was one that she liked and it was one that would make an impact. The music started and he did a quick onceover of the room. His heart picked up as he spotted her, standing next to the bar. She was flanked on one side by Olivia, who stayed close to her friend. Taron closed his eyes, allowing the music to seep into his soul. He knew the words. He opened his mouth, allowing his voice to do all the speaking for him.
The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
The meaning of those words were not lost on him. Flashbacks of Hayden in this very place, listening to him sing, played through his mind.
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like
Taron's eyes were open as he watched the crowd bounce along to the music. The smiles that donned the many faces made him grin right back. It made him nervous to sneak a look in Hayden's direction, but he did it anyway. Her hands were clutching her glass but he could just make out the tapping of her foot.
Girl, you know I want you love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
He couldn't help the smile that grew bigger as he remembered how quiet she had been the first night they had met. She was so shy and reserved and he had convinced himself at that moment that he'd be the one to break her out of that shell. He'd been so proud of how much she had changed in their time together.
Grab my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Their first night together was one he would never forget. They had whispered 'I love you's' in the dark, had spent the next day together, tucked away in his large bed, watching Netflix and eating all kinds of things that were so very bad for them. His voice grew louder, as the meaning of the words hit home for him.
