DRUNKEN KNIGHT - YUNGBLUD

~Escort~

People were already in the pub, and I was working behind the bar once again. Time was passing slowly, and all I wanted to do was to go up to my mezzanine and hide from everyone.

I poured whiskey in a glass, and added ice, that's when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hello Riv!"

"Hi Dom.. But Riv.. Really?!?" I looked up at him standing on the other side of the counter.

"Yeah, it's fookin cool!" he chuckled.

"There you go..Enjoy!" I put the glass on the counter, in front of the costumer, and then looked back at Dom.

"Ready for your first day at work?" I asked.

"Ready as fook! I also want you to meet the guys.. You know since we're friends now, they could also be your friends!" he spoke.

"Who said we're friends?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Oh we're not? What are we then? Are we lovers?" he joked.

"Ew.. No... Friends sounds better.." I acted cool.

"Oh wow.. Ok.. That boosted my confidence.. How am I supposed to perform now?" he pretended he was hurt.

"That's your problem!" I ironically smiled at him and then looked at a costumer that was trying to get my attention.

"I'm sorry, I have to go over there.." I said and stared at the costumer's table.

"It's ok.. I should prolly check the equipment anyway!" Dom said and we both went our separate ways.

"So like we promised we're going to have live music on the weekends.. Enjoy our talented musicians!" my dad said though the microphone and drunk people started shouting in joy.

"Hello, we're going to make some fookin noise, aren't we?" Dom grabbed the microphone and they all looked ready to rock.

His friends started playing music and some seconds later he started singing... You know that feeling when you're freakin attracted to somebody's voice..? Well, I felt it at that exact moment. He looked so carefree, and energetic on that tiny stage... He was in love with what he was doing, and I couldn't help but admire that. He had the courage to follow his dream, and deep down I was glad Drunken Knight was a part of his journey to the top.

"Sooooo?" a sweaty Dom walked close to the bar counter.

"What?!?" I chuckled.

"What do you think about my music?" he asked.

"Ummm.. Let's just say it's interesting!"

"You didn't like it...." he looked shocked.

"I never said that, it's actually cool, I was just messing around with you!" I laughed.

"Oh I see, love! Thank you then! Wanna meet the guys?" he asked.

"Sure..?" I said feeling insecure, I was bad at introducing myself to people.

"They're super chill, don't be nervous...Be right back!" he smiled and went to get his friends.

One or two minutes later he came back with the two guys.

"So, this is Adam.. And this is Michael.. These boys are fookin family to me! And this is River, she's pretty tough.. But she's a nice girl." Dom said.

"Lovely meeting you, and thank you for this opportunity! I hope my boy isn't givin you a hard time!" Adam said and laughed.

"Nice to meet you, we're happy we're here!" Michael exclaimed.
