Here We Are Again

Not A Bad Thing

* HYPE – open mic night *

Someone was already singing on stage when we got to the club. An hour later than we were supposed to.

"So, Miss J, are you going to sing tonight?" an ecstatic Liz asked.

"Li, you should sing, it's open mic." Said a long-haired ash blonde beside her.

Corinne, a runway model, and Amber, the brunette beside her, my two best friends, came too. They wanted to meet the man shaking my world lately. Corinne and Amber are cousins; they had just returned from their Euro trip with their family and I had to give them a rundown of everything that happened during the car ride here.

"Oh no, I've had enough singing for the week, thank you." We sat at one of the corner booths that said 'reserved for J Tiu'. Kevin had texted me that he had a table reserved for me and my friends.

"Li, we're cheering on you. Gotta impress your Prince Charming slash Knight in Shining Armor!" said Amber.

"He already heard me sing. He's already impressed." I rolled my eyes at her.

I ordered nachos and a bottle of tequila for our table.

"Oh wow, who is that? Did Clark Kent come alive?" Corinne grabbed Amber's arm and gestured towards the stage.

"That's him." I said in a whisper. Long sleeves rolled up in both arms, two buttons opened from his neck, dark jeans, Chuck Taylors, hair swept back, diamond stud on his left ear; hotness personified.

Kevin was setting up on stage; he held a guitar while fixing the chair.

"Prince Charming sings and plays the guitar??" Amber and Liz squealed in unison.

My eyes were fixed on Kevin as he went up to the microphone. His eyes went to where we sat.

"How's everyone tonight? Most of you know me, I come here a lot." He chuckled as he put the guitar strap over his head. The crowd laughed. Someone yelled 'YOU OWN THIS SHIT!' He nodded at whoever it was.

"I usually sing one song during open mic night because I enjoy playing music in front of people who appreciate music but tonight is a little bit extra special. Umm... this is for you, J."

He signaled the other guy with a guitar and another guy sitting on stage. I took out my phone and started video recording.

He started playing the guitar. He's quite good. Liz and I looked at each other quite surprised.

Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow

 

Oh my god. That voice. First line and it crept up and made me tingle.

 

And every tomorrow

Maybe you'll let me borrow your heart

And is it too much to ask for every Sunday

 

Amber and Corinne mouthed a 'WOW' towards me. And I mouth an 'I know right' to them. Our eyes went back to Kevin. Hot guys who sing and play guitars = amazing.

 

And while we're at it throw in

Every other day to start

 

I know people make promises all the time

Then they turn right around and break them
