WE'LL HAVE TO GO SOMETIME/Live for the moment-The Sherlocks
WORD COUNT: 856
After breakfast had finished they all headed back for the motel. Jas had a shift to cover, alex had to get a shower, the rest of the lads just wanted to go back. "You riding' back with us, Al?" Matt asks Alex. "Um.." he pauses and looks at Jas who's about to get in her car. Fuck it he thinks. "I'm gonna go ride with Jas, actually." he says. Matt gives him a look, "Okay," he says amused slightly. Yep, he's definitely gonna make his move Matt thinks.
Alex saunters over to jas' car, which is a few cars down from the mini van they had came in. "Joining me again, are ya?" she asks in a playful tone. "Looks like I am, yeah." he replies also in a playful tone. They hop into her car and jas turns on the radio,
"what you've just heard there was do i wanna know? by arctic monkeys and let me tell you it was very good. my first time hearing it actually. anyways, for all you arctic monkeys fans, here's some backstory on the album, AM was released on the ninth of September 2013 and was an instant hit in the UK and soon after here in the US of A. AM is the monkeys' fifth bestselling album, but i don't think anything could take their first album; whatever people say i am, that's what i'm not, I mean it was and is the fastest album to sell out in the UK, beating Oasis. Their tour isn't over but apparently the monkeys are taking a break somewhere in midwest of america. If you want to hear more about the monkeys, go straight to our webpage; musichotlist.com."
Jas was dumbfounded to say the least, I mean she knew Liz was obsessed with these guys but what she didn't realise was how big they actually were. She looked over at Alex who's face was an almost crimson colour, his eyes were wide with embarrassment, his mouth slightly parted. "Um... wow," was all jas could muster up, in response Alex chuckled nervously, he didn't want her to know, he just wanted to have someone who liked him as alex not the sorta super famous frontman of arctic monkeys.
"Erm.." he starts, not really knowing what to say. "There... there ya go,"
The awkwardness was unbelievable, they both just sat in silence as jas drove back to the motel. Alex was looking out the window for basically the whole way, as he was looking out the window his coffee brown eyes landed on a patch of daisies. her favourite he thought. Arabella's favourite.
Alex had a small flashback to that day, the happiest day of his life.
there she was, wearing his sky blue lacoste and her knee socks, holding the yellow daisies gratefully in her small hands, a genuine smile on her cherry lips. "thank you, ally." she said, still smiling.
He sighed at the thought, yes it was a nice one, probably the only nice memory of Arabella he had.
Once jas pulled into the motel parking lot and parked, alex got out, quickly said thanks and ran over to the entrance doors. weird Jas thought. Alex was mentally slapping himself, idiot idiot idiot, he hissed under his breath as he ran up the stairs. He could've made his move during the car ride but that radio station had to come in and ruin everything. I'm gonna make it up to her, he thinks.
He runs back out the motel doors and hops into matts minivan, driving back into town. He's sure he saw a flower shop.
-
Once he pulled up in a spot near the flower shop, he jumped out and started walking towards it. He caught the name of it when he stood in front of it, Bella's flowers. He felt his blood run cold, it can't be her he thought. she's not even here! it's just a coincidence. He's so caught up in his thoughts, he doesn't realise there's fans basically swarming him.
"Oh. My. God. ALEX TURNER IS HERE AHHHH!!!" that got him out his thoughts. He sprinted into the flower shop and closed the doors, which got him a few nasty glances. He runs right over to the counter,
"Hey um can you let me back there?" he begs.
"Why should i do that?" The woman behind the counter says, turning around. Alex braces himself, incase it's arabella. It didn't sound like her, and thankfully it wasn't her. One look at him and the woman instantly knows who he is. "Y-yes, come on! Come on!" she says urging him to leap over the counter. He jumps over and follows her into a back room. Bugger me with a fish pole, he thinks. He hears the wooden door close behind him, but he keeps his eyes on her.
"Hey, ally." she said, a wicked smile on her lips.
"no.. w-why are ya 'ere?"
"Because I love you, alexander."
a/n: um, plot twist?
