Chapter Text
You heard your phone ringing but you just ignored it, knowing who was calling. Five minutes later it started ringing again, for the fourth time, so you decided to pick it up.
“What?!” you asked tired and irritated.
“Wow, calm down girl! Be ready, I’m going to your house,” answered Mary.
“Why?”
“Friday… Hello? Bar and karaoke night!”
“You go, I’m not.”
“Oh yes you are, I’ve talked to your mum and-“
“You did what?! Why the hell would you-“
“Five minutes. Be ready!”
You were about to answer her but she already had hung up. 'Damn it! What the fuck do I wear to not have to listen Mary complaining about my clothes…Let’s see… Yes, this may work…' You pick an informal black knee-length dress and three minutes later you were leaving home with your friend.
Just when Mary was about to open the karaoke door, both of you met more friends and entered to the local. There was more people than you expected but your group sat in a table and asked for drinks while they picked their first song. You glanced over the people laughing and having a great time until you felt someone looking at you far at your left but it was too dark to see clearly, so you forgot about it and looked to a couple singing out loud while the crowd cheered.
“You want to sing?” asked Mary bringing you back to earth.
“Hell no, you go, I’ll stay here thanks!”
“I’m not even going to try to persuade you, stubborn woman…”
“You know me” you answered winking at her.
Said that, the whole group stood up and headed to the stage. The music started and you automatically chuckled “Classic…” as they sang ‘We are the Champions’ by Queen. You lost yourself in the song and started to sing in a low voice that only people really near to you could hear. But in the middle of the song you stopped and looked left again feeling someone looking at you, but this time you didn’t go crazy. At the other side of the room a man was staring at you, although you couldn't see his face because of the room darkness. 'What the fuck does he think staring at me all time?'
“Hello? Anybody here?” exclaimed Mary waving in front of your face.
“Yes, yes, sorry.”
“What’s up?” asked while looking where you were looking at.
“Nothing, forget it. Which one are you gonna sing next?”
~~
All of you were tired of karaoke so you decided to go to a bar next. As you were heading to the exit door, you looked for that mysterious man with no success.
The bar was dark and it was almost full of people, so you sat yourself at the bar and asked for a drink while your friends were dancing on the dancefloor. You watched them as they had fun getting drunk and dancing as if it was the last night on earth. Hating being surrounded by people, you sat there with you glass in your hand trying to distract yourself until you felt someone sitting to your left, too close for your taste, but you don’t look who it is.
“Hello.” said a low voice so you turned to face him and then you shocked. 'It cannot be… It’s impossible…'
“Hi,” you finally said turning to face you glass again. You heard him chuckle.
Seeing that you were trying to ignore him, he talked again. “You sing very well.”
With that, confused, you turned to face him when you saw him smirking ‘Really? Smirking? My goodness…’ “Why do you say so, if I may ask?” you asked raising an eyebrow.
“I’ve heard you.”
“When?” he remained silence, waiting for you to answer yourself. “Karaoke?”
He nodded.
“Impossible, I’ve not sang today.”
He laughed and raised an eyebrow “You sure?”
‘No, it can’t be. I’ve just sung when all were singing… Oh hell no’ You weren’t sure where this was going until he started singing.
“Weeeee are the chaaaampioooons my frieeeend,” You instantly went red and hid your face resting it in the bar and covering yourself with your arms.
“Oh god, this is so embarrassing…”
“Hey! Don’t be, please,” you felt an arm put around your shoulders and felt the man talking next to your arms. This made you more nervous “you sing very well actually! C’mon, don’t cover yourself women!” He took your arms and put them to your sides while lifting your face by the chin. “Aaaaw, you’re so cute,” he chuckled but you just turned redder, if that was possible “hey relax, I’m sorry.” He said with a slight smile.
“It’s okay. Normally anyone approaches to me, and less saying that so I just blush I suppose” you answered looking to the glass.
“Aye, I can see that.” While he answered, you noticed that he had his hand on your back. Then the music stopped ‘Finally, some peace…’ you thought. But not for long as a slow song started playing and you sighted. “What was that?”
You jumped as you totally forgot his presence next to you “Oh nothing, I don’t like slow songs, that’s all.”
“And why?” he asked interested.
You simply shrugged.
“Have you ever danced one?” ‘Okay, I wasn’t expecting that…’ You just shook your head looking down. “As I imagined.” As he said that he got up and left.
‘What a jerk, I should’ve imagined that-‘ you felt a finger poking your back so you turned and saw him offering you a hand. “Can I have this dance, please?” he asked bowing at you. You obviously blushed but at your surprise, you nodded at him taking his hand.
With a huge smile on his face, he guided you to the dancefloor and grabbed your hands putting them on his shoulders. He saw you doubt but he nodded to you so you wrapped your arms around his neck as he put his hands on your back and brought you closer to him gently. You felt something weird that you have never experienced at all, you felt safe, and he felt it as you rested your face on his chest and he rested his head on yours.
Time passed slowly as if only you two were there and nobody else, but you were brought back to earth as he leaned back to watch you face. “How is it going?” asked smiling down.
“Wonderfully.” You giggled.
“Excellent.” Nodded to himself proudly and with a smile from ear to ear. “By the way, I’m Aidan.”
“Yeah, I know who you are,” you answered smiling followed by introducing yourself.
“Beautiful name,” he looked right to your eyes “that’s all I needed.”
“Needed to what?” you asked confused as you saw him smiling and the next second he was kissing you. His lips were soft and sweet, you couldn’t believe what was happening but you didn’t care. The kiss was gentle, full of passion and joyfulness, like nothing you would have ever imagined. Unwillingly you grabbed the back of his neck while tussling his wild glorious hair. At the same time, he pulled your body closer with his hand in your back while the other hand was holding your head while tussling your hair and deepening the kiss as much as he could. You were feeling dizzy and light-headed, overwhelmed by the situation, so this made you moan softly in his lips and you felt him smiling. He stopped kissing you and looked at you, though you had your eyes closed, not daring to look at him.
“Everything okay?” he asked worriedly looking at you with glowing eyes, cupping your face in his hands.
“Hmmm” you answered and hugged him tightly by surprise.
“Whoooa! What’s this for?” he laughed hugging you back.
You felt how he wrapped tight your tiny self with his big frame and it made you smile. He rested his head on yours again and you decided that you loved that moment; his arms, his scent, his care... Reluctantly you separated from Aidan and looked at his shinning eyes 'Oh my god, what is happening to me?''. Unavoidably, his big smile made you smile as well as you answered winking an eye to him “Maybe you have changed my opinion about hating slow songs.”
He laughed and gave you a shorter kiss but full of emotion. He stared at you with admiration a few moments. “Let’s get out of here, m’lady” he said taking your hand and walking through the people towards the bar's door.
The bar that both of you would specially remember.
