First Meeting
"Wooooooh! we're having a fcking blast tonight!" said Jared my business partner and best friend.
"Tell me that Brother!" I answered him. "All these people are wasting their money and destroying their health by drinking, smoking, and staying in this bar that is full of pollution!" I added. We are basically shouting because we can't hear each other in a normal volume of our voices.
Oh! by the way, let me introduce myself; I'm Aika Johnson, 24 years old, gay, a musician, and the half-owner of The Zone Bar. Jared Roberts is my only best friend and the other half-owner of The Zone Bar. Well, tonight we are having a blast, the bar is full packed! I am smelling a lot of money for tonight's operation, hahahahahaha! Please don't judge me, come on! I'm a business person! money always comes first!
"Oi! Aika, my dear!" Jared called me out from my thought. "What?!" I answered him a lil bit annoyed. "Hahaha, easy there bitch! before you get annoyed, just wanted to tell you that it's already your number, so I think it is time for you to go up on stage, don't you think so?!" he answered me with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah whatever" I answered him with the lack of energy kind of tone while walking to the stage preparing for my number. Yep, I am preparing for my solo singing number, like what I've told you a while ago, I'm a musician, so I basically play guitar and sing.
"Are you guys having fun?!" shout by the MC, "Woooooooh!!! Fck Yeah!!" some people shout. "I can see that you guys are all having a good time, but I know that you are all waiting for this person to come up and take the stage with her guitar skills and beautiful singing voice! Well, I won't make you wait any longer! Let's welcome AJ!" the MC finished her introduction of me. They said that I am the crowds favorite, still, after years of hearing those lines, I still don't believe it, I'm an average singer, but I'm pretty sure I'm a good guitar player. Maybe that's why the crowd likes me.
Now let's go down to business, I started checking my guitar making sure it is on the right tune, next is my mic stand making sure it is on the right height for me, my personal mic by saying "1,2,3 mic test", my amplifier by strumming the guitar string to make sure that it is plugged, and will produce music. Everything is now perfectly set up, and all I have to do now is to start playing my guitar and sing.
Before I started singing, I greeted first the audience. "Hi everyone, I'm not sure if all of you here know me, so I will introduce myself for the new ones, I'm AJ short for Aika Johnson. I'm a singer and guitarist, hope ya'll enjoy this song. This song is titled Creep by Radiohead, but I'll sing Michelle Branch's version." I told the audience before I started strumming my guitar.
I started strumming the intro, readying myself to sing the first stanza when a beautiful person appeared right before my eyes, she's wearing ripped denim shorts, a white v-neck shirt, a dog tag necklace, and a black timberland shoes. "FCKN HELL! she's hot!" I told to myself, luckily, being a professional, I recover myself immediately enough time to sing the first stanza.
"When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye"
I started singing the song while looking at her intently, and damn! she's looking at me too!
"You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special"
I'm still looking at her intensely, and she's also doing the same thing, I'm not sure but it seems like we're eye fckng.
"But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here"
The crowd is singing with me when I hit the chorus part, some are shouting, others are kissing and dancing. But I am too focused on the hot brunet in front of me. "Fck!!!" I'm practically screaming in my head because I can't believe how hot she is.
"I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, oh, oh
She's running for the door
Running for the door
Running for the door
Oh oh
She's running for the door
Running for the door
Oh oh"
I'm singing my heart out, closing my eyes, losing myself in the song knowing that it's almost at its end. I can't hear anymore the echoes from the crowd's screaming. When I open my eyes readying my self for the last stanza and chorus of the song, I can see her smiling at me, so I smile at her widely before I sing the last two parts of the song.
"Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here"
When I stopped singing and I strummed the last chord of my guitar, people were shouting my name while clapping their hands. Damn! I guess I am really the crowds favorite, okay, I'm just speaking based on what I observed with the audience's reactions. I look and smile at her for the last time before I went down on stage.
"Someone is inspired, ey!" Jared teased me, "Nah! I just love the song, and it is one of my favorites songs so I sang it well" I told him, "Okay, if you say so! But you really did well bro" he told me while tapping my shoulder, "Thanks Big Bro, you always appreciate me." I told him this time I decided to hug him, not sure why, but I just felt like I want a hug. Weird.
Jared and I decided to drink in the front bar. While we were both on our second bottle, someone sits beside me and when I decided to see who it is, I am pretty sure God sends me his most beautiful angel. "FCK! FCK! FCK! is this really happening?!? shit do I look okay?!!" Again, I'm screaming inside my head. "Hi!" the brunet said, "Hey!" I'm containing myself because I wanted to kiss her right now so I acted cool "fck me!". "Uhmp I just wanted to say that you're really good, and the song that you sang is one of my favorite songs," she said. I answered still acting cool "Really! I'm glad you like it, and thanks for appreciating my voice, by the way, I'm Aika Johnson but you can call me Aika" I took the initiative by introducing myself first, again, to look cool. "I'm Red, Red Anderson" she told me, we shook our hands, and oh my fckn hell!!! I almost die, her hand is so smooth, it is warm and damn!!! she smell's nice.
I thought my life is already perfect, from having a bar, a flat, a nice car, and by doing music. But the moment that I held her hand, I know now that my life is not perfect at all, I know that I still need something for me to say that my life is totally perfect. I NEED HER, and I will do anything to get her.
