a great mess ✔️

SLACK chap.3

-Later that night-

"Boys, you'll be on in a minute, c'mon hurry up!" Our tour manager yelled from near the stairs. I grab my bass quickly and put them on, then grab a water bottle and gulp the water down.

"Where's my guitar pick?" Blake yelled as he runs around the backstage.

"It's on your mic-stand, B!" Harvey yelled again.

"Boys, are you done yet? C'mon line up, you'll be up in 10 secs." She yelled again.

I tossed the empty water bottle to the trash can and walk to the stairs, Blake and Harvey a few steps behind me. As the time came, the three of us run to the stage and greeted our fans.

"Hello Manchester, we're Sweet like Cherry welcome to our worldwide tour!" I say through the mic. The fans cheered loudly as I scan the crowds.

And to say I was surprised to meet by the same pair of ocean blue eyes would be an understatement. I gave him a wide smile while he looks at me with the same emotionless face. We played a couple of songs before it was Blake's turn to talk.

"Holla holla Manchester!"

"How ya guys doin tonight?" Loud of cheers heard again. He chuckled at that before continuing,

"So, we choose to cover a song or two right now before we continue to our songs, any suggestion?" The crowds started to yell random song title, but I interrupt,

"Hey B, what about 'I don't even know your name' by our fella Shawn?" I said and Harvey gave me a knowing smirk while Blake laughed loudly.

"Whipped much, eh?" He asked still chuckling.

"Eh? Nah, just wanna sing the song, you guys up?" The crowds cheered again so Blake started the chords.

Oh, you waited so long
Sometimes it's hard to stand out
And you don't have to do anything else
But be yourself, oh
And you, you dressed up so nice
But all I could see was your eyes
And the crowd came and pulled you away
And then you were gone

I look at him straight in the eyes while he gave me a confused look, before continue...

And I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
and it'll kill me every day
'Cause I don't even know your name

I stop it right there and the crowds clapped and cheered even louder.

"Alright, next cover is..." Blake said making the crowds roar 'Beatles' loudly.

We sang the song and everyone was singing along, even that blue-eyed boy. I smile widely at him and he returned it hesitantly, I smiled even wider at him. Harvey noticed our lil interaction and laughed when he supposed to sing. Blake quick to cover him up, throwing a wink at my way while doing so.

We continue to sing song after song and gave some talk here and there. The lil break time soon came, and we ran back to the backstage.

"Why don't you invite him backstage after the show?"

"What?" I asked, turning all my attention to Harvey.

"That boy, the one you're so whipped about. Why don't you just invite him backstage and have some chit-chat?"

"Harv, I don't even know his name, what the hell? And he's with his cousin who's a big fan of us, it would seem so unfair."

"Invite the both of them. We'll distract his cousin while you talk to him."
