Return To Me

by DaniellePowell

When Rose goes to a bar for a karaoke night she doesn't expect to know anyone there but what happens when she bumps into a familiar pair of brown eyes? Will she give him another chance or will she find someone better? ALL HUMAN. Kind of a songfic. Rated T for language.

4. Chapter 4

Return To Me – Chapter 4

A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long. There really isn't any excuses for the amount of time it's taken for me to write this so I'm just gonna get on with the chapter:-)

Rose POV:

Oh shit. This is gonna hit hard. I turn around so I'm facing the bar again and try to slow my racing heart. I hadn't expected him to do this. I quickly order a shot of tequila and drink it as soon as the glass hits the bar. As soon as the first one was gone the second one was sliding and burning down my throat. I heard him clear his throat from on the stage. " This is gonna be a cover of Come Back Song by Darius Rucker. There's a girl in here that knows this is about her and I just want her to know I regret what I did."

The music starts to play through the speakers with a nice melody from a guitar and then he starts to sing and all I can hear is the emotion he is pouring into his words.

"I woke up again this morning

And wouldn't you know it... pouring rain

I went and burned a pot of coffee

And like us I poured it down the drain

'Cause I didn't know I needed you so

And letting you go was wrong

And baby I know you got your radio on

So this is my my bad, come back song

I know I said I wouldn't miss you

But now I'm saying I'm a fool

You're on the feel good side of leaving

And I'm the backside of a mule

And I didn't know I needed you so

And letting you go was wrong

And baby I know you got your radio on

So this is my so sad come back song

And now I'm laying down without you

In this king size empty bed

And I wish I had my arms around you

But I'll just dream of you instead

'Cause I didn't know I needed you so

And letting you go was wrong

And baby I know you got your radio on

So this is my get packed, come back

Hey, I didn't know I needed you so

And letting you go and letting you go was wrong

And baby I know you got your radio on

So this is my my bad, come back song

Oh yeah yeah

I know I said I wouldn't miss you

I said I wouldn't miss you girl, yeah

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

We all sang na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na, yeah

Come on now

This is my my bad, come back song"

Dimitri then finished singing and the audience applauded his performance. He always had been a good singer, damn. If he thinks that a song is just gonna get me to forgive him then he's crazy. He hurt me and he just left and never told me he'd come back. For all I know he could have died, gotten into a car crash but he didn't even give a shit so he could go fuck himself. I turned around, searching for Liss. My eyes scanned the room and I finally found her sitting with Christian, her date. I walked over to them still reeling from what happened only a few minutes before. "Hey Liss, I need to head home, I can't stay here much longer could you get a home ride with him?"

"I'd be happy to give her a ride home." Christian said not once taking his eyes off of Lissa, obviously trying to impress her.

"Good, well I'll see you later then, or will I see you in the morning?" I said with a cheeky grin, knowing exactly how this night will probably end up for my best friend.

"Haha, who knows, see you later Rose."

I turn away from them both kind of disgusted. I am happy for her though she deserves to be happy with all of the bad relationships she's been through so hopefully Christian will be that guy and if not I know how to kick his ass. I start walking over to the bar to grab another drink before heading home. I get there and a guy from behind the bar immediately heads over to talk to me despite how busy the bar is. He leans on the bar, obviously very comfortable with himself and his body, which was evident from just the way he walks. He is quite tall, must be around 6'2 or 6'3, and has brown hair. As soon as I'm close enough the smell of cigarettes envelopes me, lets just say it's not attractive. He flashes me a grin and says, "Hi Rose, I'm Adrian Ivashkov, manager of this bar, glad to know we're still attracting beautiful women."

I roll my eyes at his last comment, obviously he must be a sleaze ball. "Yeah, as you know I'm Rose but what the hell do you want?" I say a hint of impatience lacing my voice, I wanted to be out of here by now. "Well, little dhampir, I was going to compliment you on your wonderful singing voice and your obvious song writing talent but you seem to be in a hurry" he said running his hand through his messily styled hair. "Oh and I was gonna see if you were interested in playing at a gig next saturday but I guess that doesn't matter."

Little dhampir? Was this guy crazy? "A gig? As in just me?"

"Yes, just you. I think you have a lot of talent and my customers obviously enjoyed your little performance. I must ask, did you write those songs yourself?"

I take a closer look at him, only just realising how young he is, at the most he's gotta be 24. He's also really attractive and his eyes in this light are either green or blue but his whole image just portrays the whole bad boy thing. "Yes, Mr. Ivashkov, everything is my own work, I love to write songs but I've never really sang them until tonight."

"Well that is a shame. I'm gonna give you my card and I'm gonna let you call me tomorrow so we can set up that gig. I sure would love to see you again." He said flashing me a lopsided grin and handing me a small card.

"I'll be in touch." I said turning away from the bar while flashing him my man eater smile. I start to walk towards the exit and as soon as I'm outside I take a big breath of fresh air. Tonight has definitely not gone to plan, seeing Dimitri has messed up my head. Was he ever going to call me? Obviously not.

A/N: Thanks for reading, there should be another chapter up tomorrow with any luck but it definitely won't take as long as last time, I swear:') Anyway, I wanna say a huge thank you to 123hereigo456 for her song suggestion, I thought the lyrics fit perfectly so I had to use it:-) I hope you don't mind that I brought Adrian into this and I just couldn't help myself with his little nickname even though it is an all human story:') Anyway thank you for reading, please a review, I love to hear your opinions.

Danielle, xo
