The Family Screw Up Finds Himself A Girl

Chapter Seventeen

I have to get out of here; I think to myself as I race across the marble lobby of the courthouse. The last thing I want is to come face to face with Judd, I'm too upset and I would rather not have an argument. He would most probably blame me for his brother's predicament. I run out of the back door to avoid everyone coming out of the main entrance, tears are streaming down my face, I wish things were different but here I am alone yet again. I'm nearing the end of the alleyway that leads on to the main road. My phone rings and as I go to answer it, I feel myself smack into someone. "I'm so sorry, I was miles away...You!" It's Toby, what the fuck is he doing here, I think to myself. "What's wrong, did your boyfriend go down for his petty crimes?" He asks with a slight grin, I notice that he is in a new white crisp shirt and I can't deny that he looks fine as wine. I want to tell him to shut up and that it's none of his business, but my emotions take over and I start to sob. Toby rubs my shoulders and takes me into his arms, I let him hold me and I just sob until I have no tears left. "It's ok, don't worry. He's not dead, he will come back one day." I breakaway from him, "Man, I need a drink, are you coming?" I say as I walk past him towards the end of the alleyway, "Yes, of course missus." His attempt at a British accent is appalling and I can't help but laugh at him. "I'm glad I can make you laugh. Come on, let's get some drinks down you," he says.

Toby suggests this little karaoke bar not far from my hotel, on the basis that it's quiet and the staff are used to celebrities coming in here. "Pornstar?" Toby asks me when the waiter comes over to our table, "Sex on the beach, please," I say in response. The Argentinian waiter smiles at me, writes down our orders and goes off to make the drinks. "He fancies you," Toby says to me. "He needs his eyes tested," I laugh off his comment and pick up my phone to check my notifications. "Don't say that, you're beautiful," he says genuinely. I look up from my phone and flash him a toothy smile. "Well, you're not too bad yourself Mr G." He gives me a sexy smile and my earlier devastation of mine and Philip's relationship feels like a distant memory. I notice a very tall muscular man walk past our table and make his way towards the stage where the karaoke is set up. When he turns I recognise him instantly, it's Adam Driver! I am so star struck, "Hey, it's my old pal Driver." Toby says whilst pointing in Adam's direction. "I love Adam Driver, he is so fucking hot and even more so in real life." I say as Toby tilts his head from side to side and replies, "Yeah, if you like that kind of thing." The music starts playing, and it's Elvis's "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You." Adam sings and I am astounded at what an amazing voice he has, his voice is so rich and powerful, he is singing with such genuine emotion. I notice that he is looking at someone whilst he is singing, I peer over the other side of our booth and I can see a blonde woman sat with her hand locked in with another guy. "Surely, he can't be singing to her, she's clearly with someone else?" I speak before I think and Toby replies, "Who knows, right? I'm going up to sing now." Before I can say anything he is at Adam's side as he has just finished his rendition and everyone including the staff are clapping. Toby takes the microphone from Adam, pats him on the back and starts looking through the song choices, I wonder what he will sing and what his singing voice will sound like.

"Beauty queen of only eighteen she

Had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her, she

Always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up

At your door

I've had you so many times, but somehow I want more..."

My heart is going and I'm welling up, Toby is staring at me the whole time he is singing. This song is one of my all-time favourites and Maroon 5 is my favourite band. Toby has got a beautiful singing voice, and he is drawing me in with his eyes and the way he is looking at me.

"I don't mind spendin' everyday

Out on your corner in the pourin' rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved, and she will be loved.."

He finishes the song to a massive round of applause from everyone, I would even go as far to say that he was even more popular than Adam Driver. I must look like a mess, so I drag myself up from the booth I am sitting in and head to the toilet. I can hear two people in there, obviously fooling around, I go to throw some water on my face and I realise Toby is right next to me. "Did you like the song?" He asks, his voice ignites the same passion in me that I felt last night. I grab his face and start kissing him roughly on the mouth, his tongue is stroking mine ferociously and I push him into a nearby cubicle and lock the door behind us. I go for his trousers and start unbuckling his belt, undoing the button and zip, I'm so going to give him a blow job right now I think to myself. "Sam, you're so fucking sexy, do you know that?" Before I can reply I can hear voices from the cubicle next to us. "We can continue when they've gone." It's Adam Driver, I put my hand over my mouth trying not to laugh. I can hear a woman's voice, "No Adam, I've got to go. I'm sorry. This was a mistake." I'm floored, "Bloody hell, someone's just turned down Adam Driver," I whisper to Toby. He's running his hands up and down my back, "Well, you're not turning me down tonight. I won't let you." I can hear Adam sighing in the next cubicle and I say to Toby, "We'd better go." He nods and we leave the cubicle and the restroom quietly. When we return to the bar, I can see a crowd of people hovering over a guy on the floor. He must have had a fit or something, Toby takes my hand and we make a swift exit through the front entrance. Once we are outside, I suggest that we go back to my hotel room. He shakes his head. "Nah, I'm not spending one more night in that dive. We'll go back there, you can pack your shit up and I'm taking you somewhere else, some place better." I agree and we make our way back to the Edison, I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve.
