Not Sorry I Left

Chapter 7

Lets welcome the one and only Robert Clerk.

People started applauding with big smiles on their faces.

What ! Robert Clerk is here... I was so surprised.

Robert Clerk was a musician and a very talented one. He was Jay's favorite celebrity.

I really have to call Jay.

He was still out of reach. Too bad he will not be able to see his favorite celebrity.

I will make sure to take a photo of him to show it to Jay, I said to myself.

"Thanks everyone....

I am Robert clerk for those who don't know me." he said and then started singing.

One by one people started standing up and heading to the dance floor while singing together with him.

His songs were so amazing and very lively. Not to mention he had a melodious voice, the way he sang with all his emotions was so wonderful. I guess that's why many people loved him.

After entertaining us with about five songs, it was now time to take our meals.

We were all directed to our tables by the waiters.

Luckily, we were allocated at the same table with Emma, the guy he was dancing with and Stanley.

"Hey, I am Zack," he said stretching his hand towards me for a greeting.

"I am Rita." I replied

"We never got the chance to introduce ourselves at the dance floor."he continued.

"Yeah." I said.

"I have seen you a couple times before in school." he said.

"But I am sure this is your first time to see me?"

"Right?"he asked.

"Yeah!"

"Actually I have never seen you before." I lied.

We were so deep into the conversation, we didn't even realize the waiter had brought food.

"Enjoy yourselves!" the waiter said smiling.

I thank God, actually I did not want to continue this conversation with Zack.

We all started eating the food we were served quietly.

Suddenly, someone placed his hand on my shoulder then whispered to my ear.

"I see you kept your word."

I definitely knew it was Lucas.

"Of course!" I responded.

He smiled.

"Stanley, can I have a word with you?"he asked.

"Yeah! Sure!" Stanley responded.

They both left.

After completing my meal, I took a glass of wine and left for the balcony. I didn't notice that Emma was trailing me.

We talked  for a few minutes before she insisted on going to the washroom.

She had been gone for almost half an hour.

"Why is she taking so long?"I asked myself curiously.

"Nice view"

"Can I join you? If you don't mind."I heard a voice.

"Yeah!"I responded.

"Ooh my God! What is Robert Clerk doing here?" I asked myself.

He looked so handsome in person.

At the stage, I did not get the chance to have a clear glimpse of him. Again, he also looks a bit different from the way he appears in his songs.

"Are you surprised to see me here?he asked.

"No!"

"Why?" I asked

"Because your face says otherwise."he said smiling.

"Or do I have particles of food in my teeth." he said with a solemn face.

"No."I replied.

"Then why are you looking at me like that."he asked.

"Anyway, I see you also like to study the stars."he said looking high up in the sky.

"Yes!"I replied.

"You know in the ancient time, men use the magical symbols above the night sky for navigation. These star pattern saved a lot of lives in the old age. Some stars fade and some shine like a glowing light bulb. Each of them has its own unique shape, level of brightness and size."he said taking a sip from his glass.
