Freddie's P.O.V

I couldn't stop smiling as I walked back to where I had earlier called for a limo to be, but there was something on my mind. Something like an anxious feeling, apprehending my mind, blocking out whatever Aoibheann was saying. My smile drained off my face. Do I tell her?..

"Freddie..? Fr-eee-die..?"

"Wh-What?"

"Are you even listening?" she giggled.

"Yes- Yes of course!"

"What did I say then?" she smirked.

"Uh- Uhm- how you uh-" I stuttered.

"Oh whisht. It doesn't matter anyways," she giggled and snuggled in under my arm which was draped over her shoulders. It was quite quiet but we could hear how crowded every pub on the street was because of the loud yells echoing out the doors.

"You know how talented you are?" she said after a few minutes.

"Hm?"

"You're music.. To be honest I hated it at first- and I still do of course-"

"Excuse me?"

"I'm just joking, darling," she laughed.

"So you're pretending to be me now?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Well if I copy you, I obviously admire you, and aspire to be you.." she looked right into my eyes.

"You're the one who people should admire. Look at you.. so gorgeous.." by now we had stopped walking and we're facing each other. She smiled the prettiest smile I had ever seen. It felt as if time stopped. I could feel the smile leave my face slowly. Hers did the same.

"Is something wrong?" she asked. I didn't say anything, just continued looking at her.

She patted my face. I completely zoned out, just looking at her.

"Freddie? Freddie," her voice echoed.

"Wh-What?"

"Were you somewhere else?" she smiled.

"Mm.."

"What were you thinking about anyways?"

"It doesn't matter. I just want to spend time with you."

"Right, well. The limo's just over there," she said as we started walking again.

"Hey um.. when are- what do you work as?" I eventually said.

"It's boring. And a turnoff."

"What makes you think I'd care about that? I won't see you differently."

"Yeah well I'm pretty sure it's nothing to aspire to, it's quite shit-"

"Oh for God's sake, shut up and tell me!" I said, grabbing her arm and stopping her from walking.

"An accountant," she said with a sigh. "It's so boring, you don't even understand. I'm just no good at anything else. Fuck me.." she sighed again.

"I would but if I'm correct, you wouldn't let me."

"Freddie!" she shrieked. I chuckled at her bright red face. I ran my eyes carefully over her face as my smile slowly drifted away once again. I'll miss her..

"Is everything all right?" her voice echoed in my ears. I felt her pat my face but I'm not sure if she did or not. The next thing I knew was I felt her lips on mine. Now this, brought me back. I gently tangled my hand in her hair as I wrapped my arm around her waist. I heard her squeal as she pulled away.
