They walk into the building.
"Come on Justin you know how much I love this band." Daphne whined.
"But Dap it's just going to be a bunch of breeders getting high and drunk. Let's go to Temptation. I heard it's the hottest gay bar in town."
"Justin we went clubbing last night, tonight is my night and you know how much I love Eric Moore." She sighs lovingly.
"Fine…but I don't see what's so great about him. His songs aren't that good."
"That's just because you only love the thumpa thumpa. There is more to music than the beats of Babylon or Temptation."
As they walked into the room where the band was going to play an instant smell of puke and straight sex filled Justin's lungs.
"I'm gunna gag."
"Oh shut up its not that bad."
Justin saw on the stage where the band was setting up to get ready to play.
"Come on let's go to the bar and get some drinks." Daphane said as she dragged Justin.
"A beer please."
"A Cosmo" Justin ordered.
"You can't order that drink here."
"Fine a beer then."
They hung around the bar for a half an hour waiting for the band to start. Justin watched all the people slowly start to come in. He felt so out of place.
After about an hour of watching people and listen to mindless talk with Daphane the lights went out and the stage lights came on.
"Guys and Girls……Temptation!!!!!"
The crowd started to scream and clap. Daphane pulled Justin to the front so they could see the band better.
As the lead singer of the band took the stage he instantly bewitched Justin. It was a certain kind of beauty that Brian never had. It was his eyes. It's like they lit up the whole room. They were a glowing green. They captivated him. He had loose fitted jeans on with an old ramones t-shirt. His nails were black and his eyeliner was smudged which highlighted his eyes even more. His hair was messy and unkempt. He had the words Lust and Love tattooed on his arm. Then he smiled.
Justin almost fainted.
He was a hidden beauty.
"Thank you guys for coming out here tonight!! It's great to be back in New York City!!!! How you guys feeling?"
The crowed cheered and screamed for the boy.
He grabbed the mike and started to sing.
Temptation fills you up inside
Desire makes you come alive…
Died, from the deadly look in your bright eyes
Come to me my love…
Come...come…come to me.
I'll set you free…
Lust for me
Lust for me
I'll break your heart
You'll see
The rest of the night Justin couldn't take his eyes off of him. He was so magnetic. Something about his presence consumed Justin. He had to meet him.
"So what did you think?"
"What did you say his name was?"
"Who"
"The lead singer"
"Eric Moore…do I detect some interest in the lead singer of the best band ever? I knew you would love him. Every girl does. To bad he's straight."
"I don't like him." Justin said as he was trying to hide the growing smile on his face.
"Yes you do. Don't try and deny it."
"Fine…he isn't bad looking."
"Are you kidding me? He's fucking gorgeous."
Justin smiled.
"I haven't seen you this happy since…."
"Since when"
"Forget it."
"No Daph tell me."
"Alright, since Brian"
"Right. Whatever, you just have to get me to meet Eric."
"But he's straight."
"He's not going to be when I'm done with him." Justin said with a devilish smile on his face.
They both laughed.
