Sing Sing Sing (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

II: Speechless

Nick

I sighed and started preparing a cocktail for a guy and his date for the night.. I heard Joe pass by me telling me how he was taking the last orders of the night.. with this he meant to tell me to not give anything else to anyone

I told him it's fine and a few seconds later he told me he had to go out to the back to arrange some things and pick up some bottles

I nodded and gave the couple their drinks so I could start cleaning the sink.. not long after I heard a girl calling me

- Excuse me-

- I'm sorry but we're closed.. - I said not looking up

- Hum.. I actually came to talk to Mr. Anderson.. I want to apply for a job

I finally looked up and saw a beautiful brunette looking at me.. she was breathtaking.. my heart started pouding faster than the normal and I felt like I had no control whatsoever over my body.. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out of it.. I didn't even realize how weird I looked until she asked me if I was fine and if everything was alright..

- Y-yeah.. Mr. Anderson is not here.. but you can leave your n-number..

She nodded - Do you have a pen I can borrow?

I started frantically feeling my pockets to see if I had a pen and since I didn't, I had to look around for one.. I finally found an old one and gave it to her as she giggled softly

It was an adorable sound but it was distracting me while I was trying to think about things to ask her so she could stay for a while longer.. I was so mesmerized by her beauty.. I had never felt this way about someone before.

- Hum.. you're applying to be a bartender?

She looked back up and scrunched up her nose - Oh no.. Drinking and making drinks is really not my thing - she said in a chuckle

I tried to wipe the stupid smile I had in my face but I was not successful - Well.. what are you applying for then?

She put the pen down and moved the paper across the counter - Oh.. I am going to be the etertainment.. or at least that's what Mr. Anderson and I talked about last time.. I'm going to sing in the background..

- Oh! You sing?

Dumbass.. if she's going to be a singer of course she fucking sings!

- Yeah.. well.. I'm no pro.. but Mr. Anderson liked my voice.. - she shyly admitted - Well.. I worked at a small bar a few streets away and Mr. Anderson happened to be there.. he told me to come here if I ever needed..

- What happened?

- It's going to close in a few weeks so I'm hopimg his offer is still on the table - she chuckled shrugging her shoulders

I nodded and smiled slightly looking at the paper - Well.. I'm Nick.. and Joe is out in the back.. if you ever need anything we're here.. - I said looking up at her - You also got Miss Johnson who comes every Saturday to clean the floors.. But I'm sure Mr. Anderson will fill you up on every person of the staff.. - I said starting to go quieter since I felt like I was starting to embarrass myself

- Yeah.. but thank you! Make sure he calls me as soon as possible.. I really need that money and I would like to start right away - she told me while lifting her purse

- Sure will do! - I smiled watching - Oh.. I never got your name

She looked up at me and chuckled - Oh I forgot.. I'm Demi.. Demi Lovato!

I chuckled - Well.. good luck in getting the job Demi - I said picking up the paper as I watched her smile appear on her beautiful flawless face

- Thank you! Bye Nick! - she said turning around

I watched her walk out the door.. she was flawless.. she seemed like a nice girl and she was really beautiful.. I was surprised I was actually able to connect words and form sentences.. I was so taken back by her beauty.. and that smile she flashed me for a split second.. damn.. it made me warm all over

- Nick?

Joe snapped me out of my thoughts

- What are you thinking about?

- Nothing..

Joe raised an eyebrow - You do know you were smiling to yourself, right?

I rolled my eyes - Leave me alone

Joe rolled his eyes and looked down taking the paper off of my hands - What's this?

- Oh.. a girl named Demi came in here looking for Mr. Anderson.. aparently she's going to be hired as a singer.. - I told him while I started cleaning the sink

- Hum.. interesting

- What?

- A girl comes into the bar, gives you her number and you're smiling at yourself?.. did someone got hit by the lovebug?

- Shut up Joe.. of course not! I don't want anything with anyone.. I got enough last year..

- Whatever you say little bro.. just make sure to put that number in your contacts

Joe threw the paper onto the countertop and then left to clean out the tables.. I took that as an oportunity to save her number on my phone..

This all reminded me too much of Olivia.. but at the same time it felt so different.. she wasn't flirting with me.. she wasn't trying to impress me.. she was just being who she was and doing what she needed to do.. and yet, I found that irresistible..

But I'm sure she didn't felt anything towards me.. which bummed me..

I ended what I needed to do and then me and Joe closed off The Bar so we could go home.. we didn't live together but we lived close to each other..

Joe left me at my apartment and then sped off, but not after making a joke to embarass me

- Don't forget, don't use anything else but Pornhub!

- You're such an asshole Joe, cut it off! - I said slamming the door

- Hey! - he shouted after rolling down his window - I love you little bro.. don't get too sad ok?

I sighed and nodded my head - Love you too.. drive safely - I told him before watching him speed off down the street

I turned around and got inside the building towards the elevator

My apartment was tiny.. and it was far from fancy, but it was perfect for my needs.. I walked inside it and took off my coat throwing it on the couch

I then went to the fridge and grabbed a beer before turning on the TV.. Nothing interesting was on, so I just watched a crime show..

I looked at my phone remembering the girl I just met today.. she really was something else..

I unlocked the phone and then stared at the letters displayed on the screen..

Demi.. Demi Lovato..
