Chapter 5 - Tessie

"Run and tell all of the angels

This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me
Get things right
'Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing
And watch the last one die"

Learn to fly by the Foo Fighters was playing on the bar. Tessa danced to it, filled with joy, goosebumps from just thinking about that silly drummer. She had no idea if he had even just a little bit of interest in her, but she knew one things, that she definitely wanted to see him again, listen to his funny laugh, giggle at his jokes and chat about random things one more time.

"Did you get laid? Are you finally sexually satisfied?" Lisa said, sitting on the bar right in front of her.

"no! why would you say that?" she answered, clueless, did she seem any different?

"you are joyful" Lisa explained, thinking it was obvious "you are dancing and being way too nice to the costumers".

"I had a good day, that's it"

"a good dick?".

"not everything is about sex, Lisa, a good dick doesn't solve all your problems" she said, but was quickly interrupted by a voice she had just heard.

"I agree with Lisa" Taylor said, sitting next to the Lisa "good sex can solve many things".

"thank you! misterious surf looking dude" Lisa gave her a 'i told you so' look and Tessa laughed "wait, aren't you the guy on that poster on Tessa's bedr..." before Lisa could finish her sentence, Tessa quickly threw herself over the table, putting her hand on Lisa's mouth.

"LISA" she yelled, shaking to her bones, scared shitless that he heard her.

"so you're in love with me, fangirl!" he teased her, laughing at Tessa's fully red, embarrassed face.

"you're confusing him with Kurt Cobain" she said, getting back on her feet "blonde, white and surfer looking" she pointed at Taylor.

"Good one, I almost believed in it" he said, charmed by her shy expression "you look cute when embarrassed".

Lisa stared at her friend, knowing exactly what was happening. That man, standing next to her, was Tessa's crush. Lisa thought it was an art, her ability to read Tessa's facial expressions.

"oh was it his dick then?" Lisa said "I'm a gemini, that's why i say shit and don't think" she raised her hand to Taylor.

"Nice to meet you, Lisa, The Gemini" they shook hands "and no my dick wasn't involved in anything"

"oh but she wish it was" Lisa opened a big smile, thinking if she went to far, not that she cared though.

"why am I friends with you at all?" Tessa took a deep breath "shouldn't you be working?" Taylor laughed, he liked knowing she was embarrassed, that meant she actually felt something.

"Sure, I'll leave you too alone" she winked at them, not subtle at all, walking away.

"Sorry about that" she put a strand of her hair behind her ear "why are you here though?".

"I was going to pick up my kids, but Alison said it was better to do it in the morning" he looked a bit shook, she thought "didn't want to go to my depressing hotel room".

"why don't you get a house then? you can choose any house you want" she said cleaning up the bar "can I grab you anything to drink?".

"I'm driving, as you know, so just a coke" he responded "you work until what time?"
