palaye royale Imagines

Smartlove-Emerson Barrett

Salem p.o.v

"Salem come on were gonna be late!" my best friend Layla yells."how can one be late for a college frat party?" I ask her "stop trying to sound so wise, there is a hotass band preforming tonight"Sometimes I really don't get this girl like are you a philosophy major or a party girl? well its none of my business so I just get dressed and follow her to the trashy frat house where the party is taking place.

As we walk in the music is already blasting full on meanwhile the band starts to set up our stuff. suddenly someone taps on my shoulder, "you're Salem right?" "oh yes thats me Nigel right?"

"yes ma'm what bring you to this party?" "That would be Layla" "oh well nice talk, see ya in class" he says with a smile and walks away.  By the time our small talk had ended Layla was gone and the band was ready to play.

"Hello guys we are Palaye Royale and this is Get Higher!" the lead singer shouts. I listen to the music, dance a little and look around for Layla. At the end of their set I spot Layla running up to the lead singer and kiss him, everything does make a lot of sense now. I decide to walk up to Layla but before I reach her theres a girl throwing up infront of me and instead of helping her people are just filming and laughing so I do the right thing to do and help her and carry her to the bathroom. 

I wipe the girls mouth and give her a mint. "Hey how u feeling right now? I ask, "way better thank you so much" "The name is Salem." "I'm Billie, you're really cool why havent I seen you before?" "Because im too cool for all the people here" I joke and she chuckles slightly before she can reply a guy in a suit just bursts in the bathroom. "Billie what happened to you? We were so worried!" "calm down Seb I just didn't feel well and this nice girl helped me out" she says as if nothing happened. There was a awkward silence so I just said " hey im nice girl."

"Sebastian Danzig, sorry I had to check up on my irresponsible alcohol abusing best friend." "yea I get that, weren't you on stage back there?" "oh yea that is my band I could introduce you to them? were going to our own party anyway." "I'd have to find my best friend first but sure" I turn around to see Billie had fallen asleep on the counter. 

I take her on my shoulder and without a word Sebastian just follows me. as we arrived back in the main room Layla was still with the lead singer guy so that was easy. "Salem I leave you alone for a hour and you come back with a girl?" "she is passed out I couldn't let her there." 

"Is that Billie?!" The lead singer said, "oh yes Sebastian asked me to come to the after party so I thought it would be appropriate to bring his best friend" the guy laughs and takes her from my shoulder. "You're a strong girl Salem, I'm Remington" he says with a wink. Layla slaps his chest and he rolls his eyes with a smile. We walk to a typical hippie Volkswagen van where Remington drops Billie on a couch, he and Layla get in the back of the van while Sebastian gets in front to drive. I sit down in the middle and wait for Sebastian to drive until a door opens and another guy just gets in and sits next to me. "You guys coulve waited for me" he says pissed off. "Billie passed out so we had to put her in the van, asshole" Sebastian replies. 

"Hey I'm Emerson" he replies completely ignoring Sebastian. "Emerson as in brave? The name is Salem." "Salem as in witches of Salem?" "Yes sir" I smile as he has a weird smirk. "I like you, you sound smart." "Well I am quite smart if I may brag." he laughs "oh and you're funny?" "Peoples opinions are divided about it but yes indeed I am hilarious" 

"ah look the two philosophers are getting it on, how cute!" Layla her drunk ass giggles. I just look away so nobody would see me blush. "And what about it?" I reply as sassy as I can. "So Salem what do you do for a living?" he asks out of nowhere. "I work at KFC" I say kind of ashamed. "didn't see that coming from such a smart girl." he says with a slight smile. "its just to pay the bills until im done with college." "ah well that is very cute, I am a drummer." "ohh like the edgy boy?" "kind of yeah."

"We have arrived at casa Danzig" Sebas says after he parked. We all get out of the car and Emerson wraps his arms around my waist and takes me upstairs to his room as soon as we're inside. In my head im just like 'oh no not one of those'.

"I know what you're thinking what is this man doing?" "well yes definitely." "I want to show you something, I think you would understand it."  I raise a eyebrow and follow him to his.... bathroom?! He opens the door and I notice the walls are full of drawings. "sometimes I lock myself up and draw on here for days." 

I have no words for it, its beautiful nothing I have ever seen before. I just look around and notice him getting uneasy "so what do you think?" He ask nervously. "This is fucking amazing Emerson you are so talented." 

he sits on the ground and lights up a blunt, I decide to sit next to him but before I can sit he puts me on his lap and he shuts off the lights.

he makes me look up and I see stars lighting up on the ceiling "Is this what you usually do charm girls with your bathroom?" "I don't really charm girls, I'm not the coolest guy if you haven't noticed" "I think you're pretty cool" "I thing you're cool too"

"cool"

"cool"

"can we kiss now?" he asks

"cool"

after that he kissed me with so much passion it would be impossible to forget him now.
