Jack was sitting on the bar stage with Edward, they were both arranging the sound check when he saw her coming into the bar. His jaw just dropped to the floor, seeing her, this gorgeous girl he had never seen before.
"Do you know who she is?" Jack asked to his drummer.
"No, but I would like to…" Ed replied.
"Shut up, Ed, I wanna hear her" Mercer shushed him to hear what she was talking with Joe, the bartender.
"Hi" she said waiting for Joe to come up from under the counter "I saw the flyer on the door, the band needing a bass player?" Jack's jaw dropped again, he hadn't noticed she had a bass case next to her.
"Oh, yes, the boys on the stage, they are 'The Spares', you go talk to them" Joe explained.
"Just them?" she looked confused.
"No, that's just the drummer, the guy in the red shirt and the other one, the blonde one, is the singer" Joe pointed at them.
"Ok, thanks" she said and walked over to the stage.
Jack saw her coming and tried not to stare, but it was hard, she had long wavy dark brown hair, green eyes, tall and some meat on her bones, she definitely had curves in all the right places and, of course, he couldn't help but noticed, she had a pretty good rack.
"Hi, there" she said and waived her right hand "I saw the flyer outside for the bass player, thought I could come in and ask"
"Yes, hey" Jack jumped off from the stage and stuck his hand out to greet "I'm Jack, I'm the singer"
"Well, hello, I'm Liz" she said shaking his hand.
"Well, Liz, show us what you got" he grinned.
She set her bass and started to play, she was great. Ed nodded as in 'yes, she's the one' and Jack couldn't take his eyes of her. When she was finished, she looked up to him.
"Ok, girl, you are in, you rock!" he said looking at her, thinking just how gorgeous she was.
"What do you mean 'I'm in'? I just played for like five minutes"
"I mean you are in the band, you are the best we've heard" he explained seeing her putting her dark red bass away in the case she came in with.
"Good, thanks you guys!" she smiled.
"We practice two or three times a week in the afternoon, usually at my house" Jack said while cracking his knuckles, a nervous habit.
"Ok, then" she handed a piece of paper "this is my number, so we can make plans for practice, I should get going, so, see you guys!" she said walking out the bar with Jack staring at the way she walked.
"Man, stop drooling!" Ed said and smacked the singer's arm "you know, she should come to the gig tonight"
"You are right, I'll catch her" Jack ran out the bar, he called her name but the wind was so loud, she didn't hear him. He reached her and grabbed her arm as she tries to light up a cigarette.
"Hey you" she said with her cigarette between her lips, Jack could only think of one thing but he pulled himself together and took his lighter out of his pocket "thanks" she smiled after he helped her lit it up.
"Tonight is Mark's last gig, you should come" he said as he handed a ticket and their fingers brushed, she noticed he was so cold "at the bar, like around 9"
"Sure, I'll be there" she smiled and saw him shake "where's your jacket?" she asked.
"I left it at the bar, I needed to catch you"
"Well, I have to get to work and you should head back to the bar and have a scotch" she grinned.
"That's a great idea" he laughed "where do you work?"
"Oh, I'm a chef; I work at a restaurant at 9th and Main"
"Chef, really? Nice! I should go back, bye. See you tonight?" he asked with his puppy eyes on.
"Yes, see you tonight" she said and started to walk away as Jack went back to the bar. He walked in and asked Joe for a scotch.
"What did she said?" Ed asked.
"She's coming" Jack drank "I need to go home, have a shower…"
Day passed and Liz finished at the restaurant and went back home, she lived alone with her black cat, Mousse, in a small one bedroom apartment over a nice book store. She arrived home and patted Mousse as 'hello', she had a shower and when she came out from the bathroom, and she heard the phone ring.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hi Liz? I'm Jack, from the bar, remember?"
"Yes, I do, how are you?" she smiled so hard her cheeks hurt.
"Fine, thanks, listen I forgot to tell you something about tonight"
"Oh, what is it?"
"The ticket I gave you this morning is good for two people, so you can bring a friend, what do you say?"
"Great, I can bring Sweet Jane."
"Sweet Jane?" he laughed
"She's been my best friend since we were kids, her dad named her like that in honor of the Velvet Underground song" she responded his question thinking how good was to hear his laughter and how nice it was.
"Well, that's cute! Her dad must be definitely something else!"
"He is, but don't tell her that, they don't really get along ever since she moved in with Ginger, her girlfriend" she explained.
"Well, she can come too-"he started but Liz interrupted him.
"Oh, no, don't worry, see, Gin is a nurse and she's on call tonight, so it'll be jus Jane and me"
"Great, I mean, see you tonight" he mumbled.
"Ok, I'll go get ready. Bye Jack!" she smiled broadly.
"Bye, Liz!" he hung up and rested his head on the wall behind him.
Liz went back to her bathroom and got dressed, she putted on a tight dark jean, a red low top and a black v neck sweater and black Converse, she texted Jane "get ready, we are going to a gig, pick u up 8.30", the response was "ok, getting ready". She went back to the bathroom and did her makeup, some eyeliner, black mascara an a little lip gloss. She grabbed her red coat and head to her silver Taunus GT Classic. Jane was at her doorway when Liz picked her up and they went to the bar.
"Hey, there they are!" Liz said as she and Jane walked in and saw the boys sitting on the counter "Hi guys!"
"Oh, hey, Liz, this is Mark, you are coming in for him" Jack said gesturing to Mark as he jumped out of his seat to see how beautiful she looked.
"Hey, I heard you are pretty good" Mark said shaking her hand.
"We should get up stage" Jack said grabbing his guitar "C' mon, you two you should get a spot near the stage" he said to the girls as he let them walk in front of him, he tried not to, but he stared at Liz's ass as she walked…
The boys got to the stage and played for like an hour and Liz was looking at Jack all the time, dressed in tight pants and a black shirt, she thought he was so good looking and wondered how would he looked without the sweaty clothes on.
"Stop drooling, girl!" Jane said to Liz.
"I'm not!" she protested.
"Yes, you are, and I gotta say, thou I don't swing that way, he is cute!" the lesbian friend stated, making Liz laugh.
As the band was almost done playing on stage, Jack bended down to talk to Liz.
"Come on stage, c'mon!" he said putting his hand out to help her up.
"No way!" she refused.
"C'mon, they don't bite!" he convinced her and pulled her up the stage to stand next to him.
"Hey, everyone" he started to tell the audience "many of you know that Mark is going to start his family with his lovely bride, Beth, to Miami, well, we want to introduce you the newest and prettiest addition to the band, this is Liz, our new bass player. He said holding her hand.
The night continued and Liz went home, she laid on her bed thinking about Jack, how sweet, nice, sexy and smoking hot he was, how much she liked him in every way.
At the same time, Jack laid on his bed with his hands behind his head, thinking of her, her smile, her hair, her skin, her entire body; he thought she was so cute, sexy and special. He knew he shouldn't want her, she was the new band member, but he did want her and so so much…
