Dance
"But friends don't look at each other the way we do"
• Vincent •
It's been hours of this continuous bullshit... talking to crowds of people I've either never met or wouldn't care to meet again.
As soon as that annoying fuck Bocelli asked to talk about ports I had lost Baby, I saw her at the bar one minute and then by the fire the next, I just wanted to be with her
She was supposed to be my date after all.But no, I was stuck here, trying to be polite as I listened to Mrs Farrow talk shit about her son and his ever growing career on Wall Street.
"That sounds lovey Mrs Farrow but if you will excuse me I have to speak with someone" I tried to politely excuse myself
She waved me off with her white gloved hand, the other wound tightly around her husbands arm as he spoke with some other man."I've told you dear... call me Marie, and that's fine, I should really mingle more with some other people anyway" she laughed
I offered her a small smile and headed towards the fireplace where I saw everyone sitting earlier.When I got closer I saw everyone sitting around, but no Baby, my face scrunched up in confusion
"Where's Baby?" I asked
Brooke nodded towards the stage, I turned round to see ma dragging her up the steps
Oh shit"Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good time" ma said, gaining the crowds attention.
"I just wanted to steal your focus for a moment as I have a very special person here who agreed to perform for us tonight"Fuck sake, she couldn't just leave Baby be
"Now she's been gone for a few years but she's back now... and she's singing for us tonight... please give a warm welcome to my lovely god daughter Baby Garcia" she introduced Baby, who nervously made her way to the microphone.The band started to softly play and the whole crowd quietened down, all eyes on my baby as she began to sing.
"Say you love me to my face
I need it more than your embrace
Just say you want me, that's all it takes
Heart's getting torn from your mistakes"
Her voice was soft like silk, I felt it enveloping me as I stood watching her."'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If you don't wanna try
But all that I've been thinking of
Is maybe that you might
And babe, it looks as though we're running out of words to say
And love's floating away"She was slowly looking around the crowd and I was hoping her eyes would land on me, for her to just look at me once.
She finished the song and everyone started clapping, I found myself frozen on the spot, I could barely move after hearing her voice
But then I felt a swift nudge to my side and looked to see Arlo clapping and giving me a look telling me to clap too
I was snapped back into reality and started clapping for her.
