*Ring*
"Hello?" I sleepily asked still half-asleep.
Girl. Are you seriously still sleeping? I called you like 2hrs ago and you now just getting up.
Samantha asked me through the phone.
Yes, I'm now just getting up Sam.
I retorted sitting upright in my bed.
Hate to burst your bubble but you're in for a rude awakening.
Samantha stated.
How so?
I asked.
I'm outside your house silly one.
Samantha said.
"No, you're kidding me, right?"
I asked abruptly getting out of bed with an adrenaline of energy I didn't have there a second ago.
'No, boo."
I'm not kidding you, I'm seriously outside. Check your window boo.
[Walking towards the window]
Peering through the shades, sure enough Sam was indeed outside of my house.
Decked out in a pair of body-hugging camouflage cargos, accompanied by a crop top that read "Flawless"
Along with her all black converses and her hair braided up into a bun, with her bang swooped to the side.
This girl is seriously outside my house, this late at night.
I remarked, biting down on my lips as I glanced over myself in the mirror.
"Hello, earth to Elise."
Samantha announced through my phone.
"My bad girl."
I seriously can't believe you came over to my house during this time of the night.
Are you feeling okay? I asked mentally rolling my eyes.
"Don't even play with me like that."
Samantha remarked while letting out a laugh.
"We don't have much time left girl. Hurry up and get ready.
There's a mini concert going on at this park I happened to be passing by.
Sam remarked.
'Alright' I'm coming, give me 10 minutes to get dressed.
[End of call]
Rushing to the bathroom. I quickly bathed and dressed up.
My outfit consisted of my usual style.
Baggy pants with a crop top, and my all black Adidas.
Not wanting to take up too much time than I already were, I quickly put my hair up in a bun.
"I see you than dolled up."
Samantha remarked glancing over at me as we both got into the car.
(Parked on the curb; near the park)
Stepping out of the car and closing the door behind me. I glanced over to see Sam motioning me to follow behind her.
Following her lead, we soon came into view of a miniature stage set up and upon it was handsome guy who was well built and singing one of Jay Park's songs. "The Truth Is"
As we were coming close to being able to see him face to face.
Someone suddenly came up beside me and held onto my arm tightly.
Delaying me from moving forward.
Glancing over, I noticed the person holding my arm was none other than Chelsea.
"Elise."
Omg, girl you won't believe me when I tell you who's coming out to perform next.
Chelsea teased continuously grabbing onto my arm.
Despite her enthusiasm I was becoming annoyed in all honesty.
The "Only" person I really wanted to see performing before my very own eyes was "Lay" and in my mind's eye he was performing "MYM" without his back-up dancers. He was the only one on stage performing before me.
[Author's note]
It's like her friend, heard her thoughts? ﾟﾘﾂ? ﾟﾘﾂ
"Girl, your man is coming up on stage to perform next."
Chelsea teased.
Taemin?
I teased, trying to get the butterflies out of my stomach.
"Nah."
Lay.
Chelsea announced smiling while she pointed towards the stage where the guy who was singing this entire time was wrapping up for the next performer.
"No freaking, way."
I remarked, half-dazed.
"You're pulling my leg, aren't you?"
No, he's here to perform.
Chelsea assured. Matter of fact, thanks to Sam we both could get in touch with EXO's manager and request that Lay perform solo at this very park.
Lay's manager was a bit skeptical, since it was little risky for a singer to be traveling to the states alone to perform various songs.
Chelsea further explained.
You both are the best-
I was saying when suddenly music started to play. I knew the tune by heart. It was Lay's "MYM" song.
Suddenly I see a tall figure appear on the stage wearing ripped jeans, wife beta, all-black vans. Sporting a cap.
When he looked up, I noticed his right dimple and those beautiful brown eyes I fell for back in junior high.
"Oh, my gosh."
I-it's r-really Lay I stammered feeling my eyes water. My "bias" was literally before me displaying his dancing physique and incredible vocal ability.
"Baby, your soft voice (oh no)
Makes me open my heart (open my heart)
I don't hide anything
I got into your heart without preparation
(I want to say goodbye)
Without hiding anything, I open my heart
(I open my heart)
You say I'm a fool
(I don't know why)
You and I broke silence (silence)
I want to say something to you
secretly
I've got a bad habit thinking about you
I can't do this (no 5x)
I want you to be the center of my life
You tell me (no 5x)
Oh my gosh, he's seriously here before me in the flesh.
I croaked. Still entranced by Lay's very presence. He's literally in front of me.
"Elise look up."
Samantha suddenly said while pointing towards Lay.
Turning back towards the stage I see that Lay is literally staring at me as he's doing the move where he humps the floor as the chorus plays
"I've got a bad habit thinking about you
I can't do this (no 5x)
I want you to be the center of my life
You tell me (no 5x)"
I immediately feel my heart leap. While we continuously make eye contact.
Standing back up on his feet, lay gazed through the crowd.
Stopping when he noticed me staring back at him.
Not breaking eye contact with me, he suddenly gesturedwith his hand for me to come up onto the platform with him.
Not caring, about how the females around me took in a deep breath as they stared at me full of jealously and pride and their eyes.
Stepping up onto the platform, I begin making my way towards Lay.
Once I got closer to him. I stood silently beside him admiring his facial features.
A moment later, lay suddenly entwines his hand with mines.
While singing the lines "like your fragrant hair
It's like honey and it makes me intoxicated
(Baby)
Your skin is like water and I've already been surrounded by you
I keep savoring it even though my body is soaked with it
Lay gazes lovingly into my eyes, like that time when he gazed at Tao in such a way while he was giving a speech during the Mama 2014 Awards when Overdose had won the "Song of the Year Award"
Smiling, I meet his gaze as well.
In response, he displays those "cute" dimples of his.
While I was still staring into his eyes, lay unexpectedly places his hands around my waist bringing us closer.
Treasuring this moment, I began swaying to the beat.
Pretty soon, I'm dancing to the beat so good, that Lay wraps his arms further around my waist as he closes in and begins swaying side to side with me in tune.
While we were still dancing lay unexpectedly stops and motions for me to stand with him in the center. following his lead. Lay then motions for me to do the floor dance with him.
Nodding my head, I get into the groove as the chorus comes back around.
"I've got a bad habit thinking about you
I can't do this" (no 5x)
I want you to be the center of my life
You tell me (no 5x)
Sitting on the floor in tune with lay, I began doing the sliding back and reaching out hand motion along with him.
Afterwards we do the "Thrusting the hips" move. Turning over, I began to grind the ground. Once the chorus passed over, we got back up to our feet.
Upon standing, lay immediately engulfs me into a hug and kisses me on the forehead as he runs his hand alongside my face and gaze into my eyes for what seems like the longest.
[Music suddenly stops]
Turning our heads, both Lay and I are surprised to see everyone applauding our dancing.
Turning back to me, lay said to me
"You were amazing, where did you get your adaptability from?"
It runs in my blood.
I answered placing my hands in my back pocket.
"My father used to be a backup dancer for MC Hammer."
While my mother, was Toni Braxton's backup dancer.
"Nice."
You caught on very well to all of the dance steps.
Lay remarked. Once more touching the side of my face with those agile hands of his.
"Thanks"
I said while smiling up at him once more.
Lay suddenly glances above my head as someone calls out for him to come over to them.
Stepping back from me, he mouths "Sorry, my manager calling for me."
"No worries."
I mouth back.
"Elise!"
Samantha yells drawing attention.
You were, sooooo amazingggg
She says her Busan accent coming out.
Oh, no. she must have drunk a bit of alcohol.
I mentally answered myself.
Girl, you were amazing.
You did your thang. Did you s-see how he couldn't k-keep his h-hands o-off of you.
Samantha stammered, while gripping onto my hand.
"Thanks."
Yes, I've noticed that too.
[Chelsea comes up]
"Elise, girl you owned it up there."
Chelsea remarked her eyes full of admiration.
"You seriously have to teach me them dance moves girl."
Chelsea said coming up to stand beside me.
"Sure, swing by my house anytime you want me to teach it to you."
"Deal!"
Chelsea exclaiming raising her fist towards me for a fist bump.
Smiling, I fist bump with her in agreement.
[Lay PV]
Glancing over I see the girl I just finished dancing with on stage, with her arm draped across another girl's shoulder who happened to be intoxicated and highly possible her friend. While on the other hand, she was yet talking to another girl. Who was identical to the girl she was holding up.
Overhearing their conversation, I couldn't help but be drawn into it.
"Elise, girl you owned it up there."
The girl exclaimed.
"You seriously have to teach me them dance moves girl."
She furthermore went on to say while a look of admiration starting to form upon her face.
"Sure, swing by house anytime you want me to teach it to you."
Elise stated.
"Deal!"
Elise's friend Chelsea called out while raising her fist towards Elise for a fist bump.
Smiling, Elise fist bumped with her friend in agreement.
During their exchange of fist bumps Elise suddenly looked over at me and smiled.
Smiling back, I couldn't help but take advantage of this opportunity for further acquaintance with her.
Gathering up the courage to talk to her I began making my way towards her.
[Elise PV]
*Recap*
While fist pumping with Chelsea.
I smile at Lay, who for a moment stares, shortly afterwards he sends me one of his charming smiles along with a wave of his hand.
Shortly afterwards, he begins to walk in my direction.
Meeting his eyes as he is ascending upon us. I can't help but stare at the way his shoulders go up and down flexing.
[Back to present]
"Hey, could I talk with you for a moment."
He asks me.
"Sure."
Turning to Chelsea, I mouth. Go on ahead and place your cousin inside the car.
"I'm pretty sure she'll sleep through the rest of the show."
I said while looking at Chelsea who nodded her head in response and began making her way to Sam's car, while carrying Samantha on her back who was still intoxicated from the alcohol she consumed.
I hope, I didn't catch you at a bad time.
Lay says while standing directly in front of all 5'ft inches of me.
Oh no, you didn't catch me at a bad timing.
"I wanted to know."
If you'd like to come to our comeback tour?
Lay asked me as he continued to stare into my eyes the entire time without missing a single heartbeat.
Oh, my word.
Yes! Definitely.
I practically shrieked.
Awesome.
I'll have the ticket personally sent over to your email then.
Lay said as he continued to gaze into my eyes.
Oh, and by the way
they're on the house by the way.
No need to worry about paying for them, this is my gift to you for being such an amazing person.
Lay said while handing me his phone, that was switched over to the Gmail application.
Inserting my email address 22 into the subject line I then handed him back his phone.
Smiling.
Lay sent me an email, confirming we were now linked up on Gmail.
Returning the gesture.
I smiled back and made a heart shape with my fingers.
Opening his hands, he pretended to receive my air blown heart while winking.
[Lay's manager calls out to him]
"Lay, it's time to get on with the show."
You, and the rest of EXO have a busy schedule these past few months to come.
"Get a move on it."
Lay's manger announced, while he quickly placed his cell into his back pocket. While motioning for Lay to get a move on.
Smiling, lay looked down at me.
"You're so cute."
He mouthed.
Afterwards he said to me "Sorry, it's time for me to finish the rest of the show."
I've enjoyed becoming acquainted with you Elise.
"Feel free to message me on that email. That's my personal email. I'll be sure to try and keep in touch with you. Despite my hectic busy life."
"Oh, and by the way. I heard your name pronounced when you were talking with your friend."
Lay stated while giving my hand a squeeze before departing from me.
Glancing back over his shoulder, he winked at me before he started performing the next song "Monodrama"
[An hour later]
I watched as Lay performed "Lose Control" for the grand finale.
Unlike his previous costumes, this one consisted of a black blouse, which he left open revealing his "Chocolate Abs" along with black dress pants, and dress shoes.
Lay also had a blind fold around his eyes which accentuated his hair, which he had parted to the side.
[End of the show]
I watched mesmerized as Lay sung the final verse
"Oh, baby, no, no.
Baby, no, no.
But I always lose control
Always lose control
Baby, I quit resisting
Just release with passion
You want it, me eagerly making my advances on you
As I lose control
with so much emotion in it, that he had me holding in my screams of ecstasy as I watched him dance magnificently in the rain, thrusting his pelvis in and out while the "rain" produced by the visual effects team came pouring down on him, drenching him, and making me "desire" him even more so than I already did.
[Farewell from Lay]
The entire time I was performing "Lose Control" I noticed that Elise, closed her eyes as if she was in deep thought.
Shortly afterwards she started swaying her hips to the beat of the music along with her friend Chelsea.
'Smiling'
I continued singing until I got to the last verse.
Oh, baby no, no.
Baby. No, no.
But I always lose control
Always lose control
Baby, I quit resisting
Just release with passion
You want it, me eagerly making my advances on you as I lose control
Afterwards, I come down from the stage to the sound of applauds.
"WE LOVE YOU LAY!" A trio of girls screamed out.
"I Love You Too!" I yelled back causing them all to erupt with screams.
Glancing to my left. I noticed Elise making her way to what appeared to be her friend's car.
Not wanting to lose the chance.
I quickly ran up to her
"Elise!"
I bellowed out, as I caught up to her.
Colliding into my chest she gasped.
Finally catching my voice.
I said aloud to her
"Thank you, for coming to watch."
I really appreciated you up there performing with me along to "MYM" I stated patting her on the shoulder before giving her a hug.
[Lay takes out a picture of himself]
Autographing one of my own pictures, I hand it to her.
Thanks for coming once again.
"Hope to see you at our comeback."
I said while pulling her into my embrace once again.
We were still hugging each other, when my manager suddenly called out to me saying "LAY, COME ON!"
"WE GOTTA GET MOVING MAN!"
[Elise]
Watching as Lay's form retreated and got into a vehicle that drove off, and disappeared into the distance.
I slowly began to come back to reality, and in the process, I bit down on my lip. Perfect timing too. I would say.
I managed to muffle out what would have been one of the loudest screams ever.
[Coming back to reality].
Turning around I began making my way to the car alongside Chelsea.
All the while, still thinking about how Lay hugged me and didn't let go of me until his manager called out for him to get a move on.
