*author note* This story takes place In phase 4 at spirit house
Laisa was washing a table when a group of kids walked in with Humanz t-shirts. She knew there was a Gorillaz concert in town because the band lived in the town and they were wrapping up their tour. Non the less you could say she was quite the fan. She didn't have quite enough money to go to the concert but she was sure she could save up for another. Laisa was a fairly short girl around twenty-five years of age. She had long blond hair that was so light it was almost white. Her eyes shone a deep blue and a cute button nose centered her face. She was pretty skinny but this girl had curves. She was pretty outgoing and had a beautiful singing voice that no one knew about. Except her mom. Laisa got this job at this bar/ diner a few years back to try to support her and her dying mother. Three years back she passed and Laisa continued working there because she didn't know what else to do. Laisa has constant headaches and migrains due to an accident. Actually, her friend got her into listening to Gorillaz for this very reason. Her friend Saidie said that their singer gets headaches just like her and that interested Laisa. Usually her headaches hold her back, but if someone with the same issue can live their dreams, so shouldn't she?
She went up to the kids an took their order.
"So how was the concert?" She asked as she brought their drinks. One kid eagerly spoke up.
"It was amazing! We were front row and I could FEEL Murdoc breathing on me!" The girl giggled and so did her friends. Laisa's mouth curved into a smile.
"Sounds like fun! Enjoy your meal." Laisa walked back to the bar and made herself a secret shot of vodka and chugged it down. She got off in two hours which wasn't soon enough. She sighed and got back to work.
*Meanwhile back at the concert hall*
2d had just changed out of his concert wear and stepped out of the dressing room. That was a good concert in his book! He got to the lounge area and Murdoc had already acquired two ladies, one at each arm.
"Well lads," Murdoc spat, then looked at Noodle "and lady. I will be in my dressing room don't bother me! If ye dare!" he hissed and the girls on his arms giggled and the door shut abruptly behind them. Noodle had a cool towel in her hand and was gently patting the sweat off her face.
"Hey 2d! Sorry I can't hang out tonight! I met a friend!" A very handsome man, in his twenties walked up and put his arm around Noodle's shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Adam!" He held his hand out and 2d shook it.
"Don't 'ave her out too late now! Noodle 'ave fun!" 2d sighed. What was he going to do now? His only plans for the night were to hang out with Noodle. Noodle and Adam walked out of the room and Russel had already passed out on a nearby couch. 2d sighed and walked out of the venue. He decided going to a bar was his best bet. He looked at his phone and the closest place that served alcohol was a little diner that was open 24/7. He decided to uber since it was almost midnight and he gets spooked out easily.
He payed the uber driver and walked into the diner. There were a few people but not a lot. He noticed there were some people with Humanz t-shirts on he quickly pulled his hood up. He wasn't in the mood for fans. He walked up to the bar area and there were only two people working. A middle aged man that looked petty grumpy came up and took 2d's drink order. 2d fiddled with his phone as he took sips from his beer.
Laisa walked out of the kitchen and saw a familiar face sitting at the bar. The famous 2d. Stuart pot. In the flesh. She calmed herself. "Act natural Laisa. He's a human just like you," she thought to herself. She went over to the group of kids to give them their bill. She realized they didn't even notice him. That's odd. Maybe he doesn't want to be notice. The group of kids left and now there were only like five people in the whole diner. She got off in thirty minutes. Thank god! She then walked back to the kitchen to start doing some dishes.
Stu saw this strange lady walk into the kitchen. He checked her out head to toe. "Damn that girl has a body to look at!" he thought to himself. He locked his phone and wanting a refill he called the grumpy man back over.
"Uh hi- uh can I have a refill?" 2d stuttered out.
"Sure thing. LAISA COME DO YER JOB!" the man yelled. He then walked into some sort of office. Laisa shyly walked out and headed over to 2d. She took his glass and refilled and set it infront of him.
"There ya go sir." her slight cockney accent was showing. It matched his as he replied.
"Why thank yew, uh.." He squinted at her name tag. "Laisa it is?" He was surely working his charm. This woman was truly beautiful.
"Just doing mah job!" She went to go tend to other customers when she saw him wink then take a sip of his beer. She almost tripped. He. Winked. 2d winked at me! She almost exploded. She rang up some customers and brought some others their food. She then walked back to the bar to 2d.
"Anything I can get you sir?" She asked trying to remain professional.
"Hmm. Not off te top of my head. Oh! actually, how about yer numba'?" He said with his toothy grin. She was caught very off guard.
"Oh. Well sir, I don't usually give my number out to strangers." She chuckled.
"Well that's a shame now in't it? How about I tell ye a lil about myself. So i'm not so much of eh stranger? Do you happen to know who I am?" He asked wondering why she hadn't mentioned anything before. She immediately blushed.
"Matter of fact I don't think I do." She played along. "You do look quite familiar though." She raised an eyebrow. Pretending to inspect him. "Yeah, nothing rings a bell. Maybe you should tell me something out you." she smirked and rested her elbow on the counter and rested her head in her hand looking intrigued. 2d smirked back and huffed a little.
"Well I am Stuart! But please call me Stu. I am just yer average blue haired black eyed stranga'. I don't fink there's much more to me. How 'bout you love?" He smiled back. She chuckled. Two could play at this game.
"Well, you seem pretty boring Stu." She faked yawned. "But I suppose I should introduce myself further more. I'm Laisa. You're average blonde hair waitress working for the dollar!" She dramatically raised her hand and fanned her face. Her and Stu both chuckled. "Oh and sorry, Stu was it? I dropped my phone and broke it yesterday. What a shame?" She huffed, not toning down the dramatics. "But, I do get off in five minutes, if you want to get to know each other more?" She looked at 2d who leaned back in his chair and folded his arms with a smirk on his face.
"Well you are good. Sure love." He slipped her the money for his drinks and she walked off saying,
"Ill go get ready then!" She half skipped to the office. He stopped her right before she walked through the door.
"Hey Laisa love, I think you dropped somefing." He pointed to a pin on the floor. She had many pins on her uniform of bands and Disney characters ect. She went to go pick it up. It was her Gorillaz pin. "Wow that's a great band! 'ave you heard of them?" He kidded. She blushed and went to get her stuff. The game was over. He knew she knew.
"Wow he knows."She thought to herself. "But who cares. I'm going out with 2d!" she internally screamed. She grabbed her stuff and met Stu out front.
