Sing Sing Sing (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

III: Hallelujah

Nick

It's been a week since I last saw Demi.. at this point I feel like I might never even see her again, and that for some odd reason didn't sit quite well with me.. I wanted to see her face.. but it would be weird to call her since she might not even remember my name..

I would just be the creepy guy from the bar who saved her number without permission..

Joe still asked me about her and if I wanted to see her again but I always refused and denied everything that came from his mouth.. I really don't want him to keep bugging me about it, specially since today marks a month since mine and Olivia's break up..

I opened the door to the bar and took of my coat - Yo.. Nick - I hear Joe call me

I moved pass the small entrance wall and peek towards the main room seeing a girl I immediatly recognized in a tight peach form fitting dress

- Hey.. guys?

She turned around and smiled at me taking once again my breath away, she had multiple sheets of paper in her hands, probably music sheets.. there was a grand piano behind her, one I've didn't knew could fit in this room and a small microphone on a stand

- Hi Nick! Remember me? - she chuckled making me gulp

I slowly walked towards them adjusting my uniform - How could I forget - I mumbled to myself

- Oh you guys met before? - Joe asked giving me a smirk

- Yeah.. she's the girl I talked to you about - I mumbled not really pleased with the teasing Joe was doing.. I knew my brother.. he wanted me to get embarassed and I could bet he was going to say something to do so..

- Oh.. right.. I remember now.. well.. You were right.. Demi is indeed beautiful - he commented making Demi roll her eyes with a smile

- Owh.. thank you - Demi simply said probably trying to brush it off

They both looked at me and I sighed - Well.. lets get to work..

- Oh no.. we can't.. John is still not here..

- And.. who's John? - Joe asked looking between me and Demi

- The pianist.. - she answered stepping down from the small stage

I went behind the counter and started preparing things while Demi and Joe talked.. I listened to them though I didn't say a single word.. I had nothing to say and I know that if I opened my mouth I would either embarass myself or Joe would start teasing me again, so I decided to just stick to listening

While I listened to their conversation, I started thinking about what went wrong with Olivia.. I started wondering if we could've done things diferently or not.. I sure missed her like hell.. specially our friendship to be honest.. how we used to tease eachother and mock one another for fun.. we truly were a great match.. but I guess that God has Its plans, and Olivia just wasn't in the stars for me..

- Nick, you seriously have to stop zooning out.. it's getting ridiculous - Joe said hitting my chest with his arm.. I looked at him and saw Demi starring aswell with a worried expression

- Just let me be Joe - I said rolling my eyes and turning around

The pianist finally showed up and the time to open The Bar finally arrived.. like usual, about 5 people walked in right at the first 10 minutes

- Prepare yourself Demi.. it gets pretty crowded on Fridays - Joe warned her

He walked away and started asking around and taking orders.. I kept preparing everything and taking some glasses off of the washer

- So Nick.. what's up?

I turned around and frowned - me?

- I mean.. are you ok? You don't seem fine.. - she rephrased

I looked into the room and saw some people get in - I'm fine.. it's just.. life you know?

- Hum.. I get it - she chuckled quietly - Well.. you work on a bar.. I bet you listen to a lot of life stories.. wanna change places once? - she asked with a chuckle crossing her arms on top of the counter

I shrugged - It's fine really.. do you want something to drink?

- Sure! What do women order around here? - she asked in a giggle

I came up to her and looked behind me - What do you like to drink?

- I like Gin..

- Oh I got the perfect thing.. just wait a little

Just when I started making Demi's drink a girl started shouting for me and asking for a marguerita. I looked at her.. she was blond and had.. very big assets.. she started batting her eyes at me as I said for her to wait a minute

- Here you go Demi, a Tom Collins.. it's made of gin, lemon juice, sugar and soda.. hope you enjoy it

Demi gave me a smile and I went to prepare the other girls drink, not really giving her much of my atention since a hook up was far from what I desired at the moment..

I kept making drinks for other guys, couples, girls.. anyone.. until Demi asked me if I could come up to talk to her for a while

- Joe looks busy.. - she smirked making me look at Joe.. he was talking to a girl who was clearly all over him

- Oh.. you think?.. no! He's engaged! - I chuckled cleaning my hands on the piece of cloth

- Engaged? Wow..

- Why? You got the hots for my brother? - I asked hoping her answer was not a yes

I waited for a while until Demi finally looked back - No.. God, no.. I don't want a relationship whatsoever.. you guys are brothers?

I nodded my head and gave her a small smile.. even though I didn't want one either, I couldn't help but feel somewhat sad to hear that she didn't want to date anyone

- Actually, I can kinda see the resemblance - she giggled pausing for a while - And you? Single and ready to mingle? I bet that hot blond girl wouldn't complain to have you

I chuckled looking back at the now wasted Marguerita girl - Nah.. I just came out of a very complicated relationship..

- Know the feeling.. - she mumbled taking a sip of the drink I gave her more than half an hour ago -  By the way, this is amazing! This is what I'll want from this day on! Everyday!

- I'll take note of it - I said just when John stopped playing the piano

- Welp.. that's my cue.. wish me luck!

- I'll be here cheering for you - I told her with a smile on my face

I watched her run on top of the small improvised stage and turn on her microphone.. The piano started and soon, an angelic sound came out of her mouth.. I was surprised by how beautiful her voice was.. it was soothing and it made me melt completely.. I could see that everyone in the room was mesmerized by her, just like I was..

She was singing Hallelujah and damn was she singing like an angel..

Everyone clapped after her song and she came down towards the bar once again.. before I could tell her anything a guy called me and asked me for 5 shots of vodka

- I'll be right back Aretha - I joked making her giggle

I tried to take care of the guy as quickly as I could but when I was finally finished, she was talking with Joe..

I sighed and looked back onto the sink taking off the cups out of the countertop so I could put them in the washer
