That is why this chapter, is the longest one yet. WOOHOO!
Ok. Enjoy. Tell me what you think.
Chapter 3
Day 3
"Guess what tomorrow night is?" Morgan sang as he entered his cubicle.
"Err... Friday?" Scorpius answered not looking up from his paperwork
"I said NIGHT, tomorrow night!
"Friday NIGHT" Scorpius replied.
"Har-har funny. No. Its Employee Appreciation night" Morgan said practically wetting himself.
"So what? Last year we had dinner, and we were all home by 8 o'clock" Scorpius deadpanned "They're never really fun anyway."
"Well you obviously haven't heard of where we're going tomorrow, because if you did, you'd be as happy an excited as I was"
"Ok, where're we going tomorrow?"
"KARAOKE BAR!"
Scorpius finally looked up from his paperwork. "Seriously?"
"Hell yeah. I love Karaoke Bar. Remember last time we-"
"You mean the time when you got shitfaced and sang a whole bunch of songs, started a fight and broke a bottle of Vodka on the bartenders hand even though you were aiming for his head? How can I forget?"
"When you put it like that it just sounds bad"
"You could say it however you wanted and it would sound bad"
Morgan just nervously laughed "you think I'll be allowed back in?"
"Don't count on it"
Karaoke Bar
Morgan was officially banned from the Karaoke Bar. He was stopped at the entrance and sent away. Scorpius carried on inside because apparently he needed a drink. What he didn't expect to see was Rose Weasley in the Crowed. Usually only the men in the office ever came, But then again there were only 2 women, 3 including Rose. Scorpius being the ever so brave one walked up to her to strike up conversation. After two minutes of awkward conversing they went their separate ways.
Scorpius sat at the bar, with his third whiskey and coke. He was bored, he'd been speaking to Frank and Bob (from the IC department), but they weren't able to form coherent sentences. Scorpius took a look around the room and saw Morgan, he turned back to the bartender ordered two beers and walked towards his table.
"Weren't you banned?"
"Yes"
"Why are you here?"
"Because I wanted to sing"
"I meant how'd you get in here?"
"Oh! The back door"
"Ok, here you go" Scorpius said handing Morgan the Beer.
He sat down adjacent to Morgan, only then did he notice someone sitting opposite him. Rose Weasley.
"What are you doing here?" he asked sounding rude
"Morgan came and sat with me. This is my table" she replied with her nose in the air
"Oh, sorry" he said looking at his beer bottle "where are the others?"
"Oh, they left, families to get back to and all"
"Okay" The next five minutes was a combination of awkward silence, awkward stares and probably a world record on the fastest finished beer.
"Okay, so I'm going to get another round of beers" Morgan said leaving the awkwardness behind as he headed to the bar.
Scorpius stared at Rose. Rose stared at Scorpius.
Suddenly the bar was filled with a very drunken off key version of Hey Jude. Scorpius and Rose both turned around to see Morgan up on staged with a drink in one hand and a mike in the other.
"We are going to get kicked out again" Scorpius said with his head in his hands.
"Again?" questioned Rose
That is how Scorpius ended up telling Rose about the debacle of February 2024, this had Rose in fits for minutes. Scorpius looked at Rose and was mesmerised by her laugh. Now Scorpius believed in love at first sight. He believe in the BIG cliché, He believe that marriage was sacred and Divorce shouldn't be heard of. He was a Romantic. A very cheesy one, but a big one.
Rose on the other hand believe that nothing was left up to fate and destiny. Everybody made their choices, there was no such thing as Pull. If anyone had ever mentioned the concept of IMPRINTING to her she would have laughed for days. In simple words Rose didn't believe in Monogamy. Everything was casual. Always was, always going to be.
After The story telling the conversation started to flow, they sat in that booth for hours, talking about schools and colleges and jobs and every little detail. Finally the topic of relationships came up, and what Rose had to say about relationships shocked Scorpius.
"So, let me get this straight. You don't believe in Love? At all?"
"Well yes, that's kind of what I'm saying"
"How can you not believe in love? It's Love for crying out loud. Haven't you watched any Disney movies?"
"That's not love. That Animation"
"It's animated love. The strongest kind of love there is"
Rose gave him a sceptical look
"The way Andy loved his toys, the way Nemo's dad loved Nemo"
"You don't know Nemo's dads name?
"Nobody knows Mr Nemo's name" Scorpius said giving her a superior look
"Marlin"
"You just made that up" Scorpius argued.
"I did not, you can check if you want to" Rose said pulling out a Mini. "But if I'm right you have to go sing"
"Fine" Scorpius agreed not one to back down from a challenge
"Not just any song, Girls just wanna have fun" Rose smirked
"That's ancient"
"I don't care"
"Fine"
Two minutes later….
"HA! I win. Go sing wittle giwl"
"Oh shove off" Scorpius growled, making his way the stage.
Less than a minute later and Scorpius' rendition of Girls just wanna have fun was floating through the club. Rose was laughing, but couldn't help but notice his voice wasn't that bad.
I believe this is the day that everything started changing for Rose and Scorpius, this is the day that something clicked. But more of that to come, for now sit back and relax because this just might be a very long story. Maybe!
