Current Song: Upon A Burning Body / 'Til the Break of Dawn Play Here: β« |
Dustynn's response made Leo laugh loud enough to be heard over the music, he didn't expect her or anyone else to enjoy the performance as much as they did. Even so, he had fun and was already running songs through his head for his next performance. In a world filled with cheesey music there was a plethora of options to choose from. "Well I'm glad you enjoyed it," he said, his wide grin stretching from ear to ear. Before they could talk more the next performer climbed the stage and began to sing. Leo soon found Dustynn up close against him dancing with her back to him. He matched her movements as best he could, he was much more comfortable crashing into people in a mosh pit than he was dancing like a normal person.
Soon enough the music stopped and Dustynn turned him, moving in close and speaking into his ear. The single sentence gave way to her touching his chest before climbing onto the stage, much to his surprise. He expected her to be a few more drinks deep into the night before getting up to sing but he was glad to see her letting loose. When the music began she began to lose herself in the music, clearly taking some enjoyment from the more risquΓ© lyrics at the beginning of the song. She began to move in perfect harmony with the music, her raspy voice pleasing to the ears. She sang taking in the crowd in front of her, Leo and everyone else lost in her voice. Then it happened...she looked directly down at him and sung the words clear as day. She didn't blink as each word hit Leo with a sincerity that made his heart skip beats. He looked right back at her and for the briefest of moments he forgot that there was anyone else in the bar, seeing only her and her performance. As she closed her eyes once more he felt himself struggle for breath, he wanted her to look back at him more than anything at that moment.
Soon enough the song finished and she made her way off to the side. Leo turned and began to walk through the crowd towards the bar, his mind raced and his heart pounded. He didn't know how to handle the feeling that was sweeping over him, it had been such a long time before he had felt anything remotely like what he felt now. When he reached the bar he ordered a straight double of JΓ€germeister and quickly drank it in one go. It was one of the few spirits he liked, usually just sticking to beer or lager. Neither would be strong enough to calm the nerves he felt. With the JΓ€ger polished off he ordered another pint and the same for Dustynn. With drinks in hand he turned and looked for her, unable to see her amongst the sea of people on the dance floor. Turning back to the bar he spoke to the server, "Have you seen Dusty?" Slightly swamped with orders, they gestured to the toilets with their head. "Ok cool, thanks." Leo headed towards the toilet to wait for Dustynn.
At the mouth of the corridor to the toilets were a few small tables with stools, the music audibly quieter allowing for people to talk much easier. Leo took a seat and began to think over what to say when she came back. What could he say? Maybe he shouldn't say anything? For all his charm and likeability, he was absolutely useless when it came to his feelings. Before he could decide what he would do he saw Dustynn emerge from the corridor. He got off his stool and took a few steps to the side, stopping still in front of her. The gap between them was much smaller than he intended, his heart beat so hard that he was worried she would be able to feel it. He looked down at her to speak but was found lacking the words, for a moment that seemed like an eternity he stared deep into her dark eyes. Trying to break the silence he rubbed at his neck and laughed nervously. He quickly gestured to the table, "I...I got you another drink." As they moved to the table Leo muttered to himself, Leo you're an absolute tool...
