It All Started With A Bet

Perfect

She continued, "But...... Somebody heard about our misfortunes and decided to join us today to play some songs. So presenting to you the one and only .... Ed Sheeran."

The crowd went wild. I could hear high pitch screaming from every corner. Some people had started crying. Almost everyone had their phones out and were trying to capture this moment.

I turned to see Randall's face. He just went "Wow!"

She spoke once again. " We thank him for his generosity. After hearing our cause he free heartedly offered to sing the last segment. Please be kind enough to not disturb the show with your phones.

So without further ado ... Edddd Sheerannnnn."

The crowd roared. I heard Randall say something but the fangirls and fanboys drowned out whatever he was trying to say. I turned to face him. He bent down a bit to whisper in my ears.

"My friend Delsy would die to be here right now." He laughed probably thinking about her.

Who was this Delsy? I tried thinking if I heard her name somewhere. But nothing came to the forefront of my top floor. Was she someone from our school or maybe his old school. Maybe she was like his bestie. Or maybe more?

*Play Music*

The songs started and everyone got into the mood. Ed's voice was so rich and melodic . The sun was setting, painting nature's canvas in shades of purple and pink. All that combined with the amphitheatre environment left me with that warm fuzzy feeling. A feeling of happiness. The embodiment of joie de vivre.

I looked at Randall and he looked at me and I know we both felt it. It was us and this moment.

I kept my gaze on him. His eyes more specifically , which also didn't budge from mine. We danced for a few minutes like that before the song changed.

'Perfect' started playing. Randall held out his hand. I raised one eyebrow at his offer. " It won't be weird. I promise." I took his hand and he gently pulled me towards himself. He put his arm around my waist and lead the dance.

At first we were brushing against people but as we progressed we were effortlessly gliding in our limited space. In that instant I had only one word for him, Smooth.

He pulled me closer, to a point where my head was just hovering above his chest as we swayed to the song.

I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
Although we were both softly singing to the whole song. He sang the last line slightly above a whisper and I don't know why but I smiled against his broad muscly chest.

The crowds slowly spaced out from each other. Howls of cheer echoed all around. Ed Sheeran took a bow and left the stage giving the announcer lady the stage.

She quickly thanked Ed Sheeran and his team, the bands , the sponsors, the caterers ,the crowds, security and all. The crowds slowly dispersed.

We leisurely walked to the car, enjoying the last few moments. We got in the car and started driving. I checked my phone.

That's when I realised it was like 5.30 and I was expected at home by 4. My mom and Ty were both still at work but I was still supposed to be home by that time.

My mom would reach home by 6.30 and Tyler, half an hour after. There was no way I was gonna make it in time.

"What's up Kitten ? What's wrong? " He purred in an attempt to lighten the mood probably but all I could think about was that look Tyler would have on his face when I walked in that front door.

"What's wrong... what's wrong you ask ... I need to be home in an hour.... one hour ... And obviously that can't happen so right now everything's wrong... gosh Tyler's gonna kill me .... And then bludgeon you with a pan or something."

" Oh wow, cliche big brother huh? Call him right now.... And say you'll be late. Simple"

"And who shall I say I am with ? This guy who I met yesterday ? Who took me too a place 3 hours from town after like 48 hours of us meeting for the first time?"

"Okay , okay..... I am sorry.  Can i do anything?" He said quietly. It immediately made me feel bad.

" Okay look I am sorry for that it was uncalled for. It's just that I love Ty and when I see that dissapointed look on his face it kills me. My mom's chill and won't give two fucks."

"I get it." A small goofy smile came on his face, "That's the first time you sweared with me."

I laughed at his cuteness.

"I'll drive as fast as I can okay.... but I suggest you atleast message both of them you're out and You'll will be late." He said.

I quickly messaged them and put my phone in. It was quiet for a while and It was a nice silence. I didn't feel the need to speak.

I was tired and I was slowly drifting again. " Tired again sweety?" He asked in a soft cooing voice.

"Hmmmmmmm"

"Okay Goodnight Kitten" was the last thing I heard before I slept.

That's that 🤣
