Sergey x Iveta: Star Crossed Singers

Sergey x Iveta: The Bar (Chapter 3)

Sergey finally got back to his hotel room. He walked the rest of the way from Juri's room to clear his mind. He was in a black jacket and his black pants from the Red carpet. He quickly showered, gelled his hair, and got into a Guns n Roses grey faded logo t-shirt, blue jeans, and plain white Vans. He then left his room with his rental car keys, the Post It, his phone, and a  new jacket (a grey one). He waved goodbye to Andrea and left to the bar. He typed the address into his Google Maps app and went.

Juri, Justs, and Donny had just showed up to the bar. Jamala was waiting in a booth because she reserved it for the group. She saw the Baltic boys through a window right of her and got up. The Baltic boys walked in and met up with Suzi.

"Hey guys! How are you?" Jamala asked. 

"We're good, we're gonna have some more company tonight so I'm letting you know that first." Juri told Jamala.  

"Yeah, he needs your advice. That's what Juri told us." Donny said. Justs was a bit sick tonight. He had a sore throat and lost his voice due to him rehearsing 'Heartbeat'. Aminata Savadogo, Justs' songwriter, was with Stig Rasta and Elina Born to catch up from last year.  

"Ah okay, the more the merrier!" Jamala smiled and led them into the booth she reserved.

Sergey showed up and parked his car. He walked towards the door and opened it. There was a large crowd of people. Damn, did every Eurovision 2016 singer show up here? Was it an Eurovision party tonight? He didn't recognise anyone. 

"Is that Sergey?" Donny asked. The two didn't know each other that well. 

"Yeah it is, that's the special guest." Juri said. He was sitting nearby the window next to Justs. Juri was Justs' ride home and Donny was going with Jamala.

Sergey finally saw Juri nearby a window. Juri smiled, waved, and walked towards Sergey. 

"Hey is everyone here?" Sergey asked. This was not the way he wanted to talk to Jamala. 

"No, they must be Swedes. We're over here." Juri said, leading him to the booth. The booth could fit 6 people and was about 20 feet away from the large crowd. Sergey sat near Juri and Justs while Jamala and Donny were sitting on the opposite side. 

"Hey man, what's up?" Donny asked.

"I need help man... the tabloids just can't keep their mouths shut. I like someone in the contest and they've captured that." Sergey was visibly angry. He did not understand why someone would benefit off of someone else's embarrassment.

"Who is it?" Donny asked. Justs nodded his head in Donny's direction. 

"It's Iveta... She's so gorgeous man I don't know what to do if she finds out about this. That's why I needed a woman's advice. Suzi can you help me?" Sergey fessed. Jamala looked at him and smiled a bit. She was no expert on love but she could try to help.

"Sure, what are you having  a hard time with?" Jamala asked. 

"Just being normal around her is hard... I'm afraid I'll slip up and reveal my feelings." Sergey said. He was a bit anxious.

"Why don't you want to confess to her?" Jamala asked. She didn't think Sergey was making sense by not being honest to Iveta about how he truly felt about her.

"Because I feel she'll see it as a joke. She literally thought you and I were married and if anything, she'll think I like you Suzi if the news does get to her." Sergey brought up a good point. 

"Well how can we make that thought go away for her?" Jamala asked. She wanted to help but was running out of ideas.

"You could possibly be seen with someone else, Douwe from what I heard is a bit of a casanova type guy." Sergey suggested. His head was not in the most logical of places. 

"Hold up, you want me to be seen with Douwe Bob of all people? I know nothing about him." Jamala said. Plus she thought Samra and him would be a nice looking couple. 

"I'm just saying we shouldn't be seen near each other that often. Or if we do want to hang out, we'll have to do it secretly." Sergey said, making less sense than before. 

"Sergey, you're not making any sense whatsoever. We're adults and you're acting like we're in secondary school all over again. Stop being so shy and go talk to her like a normal human being. If she could do it for you, you can do it for her." Jamala spoke. She was getting a bit of a headache with Sergey's nonsense. 

"If I do something that makes me look like a fool, it's 100 percent going to be your fault." Sergey laughed. He knew Suzi was right. He needed to stop being an emotional ghost per se. 

"Let's go get drunk now, shall we?" Jamala laughed. She pulled out her wallet and walked to the bartender. This was going to be a fun night for sure!
