Chapter ten!
yay!
We walk through the doors of the diner, and I was hit with the loud pounding music.
"How many?" I hear a girl ask.
"just two." Four replies with an easy smile
"is a booth alright? We're packed tonight."
"Yeah, give us whatever you've got, we don't mind." I love the way he's so laid back.
"Ok, right this way." She says and leads us to the booth way in the back.
"Thank you." I say and sit down.
"Hmm, should I sit next to you or-"
"sit on that side." I say to him with a smirk
"Oh! I see how it is!" He scoffs and holds his hand up like a girl.
"I just wanted to see your reaction." I said, laughing slightly.
"You can sit next-" I didn't finish because he plopped down next to me.
"thank you." He says with a smirk
I sigh because, I am now squashed against the wall. I didn't realize how big Four actually was, until now. And no he's not big in the fat way, he has very broad shoulders and bulging muscles, ones that are shoved into my side.
"You realize the point of a booth is for you to sit on one side and me on the other.."
"Yeah, but I'm not like normal people, I'm gonna sit where I want to sit." He says and moves in his spot a little.
"Hello, I'm Tina and I'll be who your waiter." I look up and see a blonde chick, chomping on gum.
"Hi." I say to her and she rolls her eyes
"what do y'all want to drink." She asks while looking at her claw-like nails
"I'll have a beer." Four says
"which kind?"
"whatever's the best."
"Sure thing."
" Just some ice tea please." I say, as I apply some lip balm.
"I'll go get that." She says with a sigh and walks away, hips swaying
"she looks nice." Four says sarcastically.
"Yeah." I look around and see them getting ready for karaoke. "Hey! You should go sing something." I say giving his shoulder a shove.
"wait, what?"
"Karaoke! You should sing super-" I stop myself
"haha almost said it!"
"Ok but seriously, will you?"
"ugh I don't know.."
"Please?"
"come on."
"pleaseeee?"
"Tris.."
"Pleaseeeeeee?"
"do you like my singing that much?" He asks, lifting his sunglasses a bit
"Yes."
"than I will for you." He says.
"here you go." The blonde chick -Tina- slams the beer and ice tea on the table. Some of my ice Tea sloshed out and onto the table.
"What do you want to eat?" She asks, obviously annoyed.
"what's good?" Four asks her and she rolls her eyes.
"everything. Did that help?"
"yes it did." He says sarcastically "I guess I'll have the triple cheeseburger, with everything on it." He tells her.
"you?" She asks looking at me.
"Oh um, I just want a cheeseburger with bacon,mayonnaise, and pickles, lots and lots of pickles." I say nodding my head.
"okay." She says and grabs the menu rather harshly from my hand And leaves.
"Pickles?'' Four asks, looking at me
"Yes! I love pickles! They are the best!" I say laughing.
"Okay." he says rolling his eyes and laughing, oh how I love his laugh..
"I guess I best get this Karaoke thing over with huh?" He says adjusting his sunglasses. He had taken his hat off when we walked in. I'm actually really surprised no one noticed it was him.
I watch him walk up to the small stage and ask to sing. of course they allow him to. He walks to the center and tests the mic. He sees me and flashes a smile.
"Lets get this party going!" He shouts before nodding to the band to play.
When the days are cold And the cards all fold
And the saints we see Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
At the curtain's call It's the last of all
When the lights fade out All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave And the masquerade
Will come calling out At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
By now every body is dancing and jumping around, including myself.
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
The whole place started cheering and clapping. Everyone was yelling for more and I started laughing.
I love how he didn't sing one of his own songs, not that it'd make a difference. The girls next to me where saying how he sounded just like Four, and how they wished he would take off his sunglasses.
"thank you!" He says before speeding off the stage. He runs right to me and grabs a hand . He pulls us back to the table where our food was sitting.
"you know, this would be so much better if you didn't have to hide behind sunglasses." I say smiling at him.
"I agree, than I could see your beautiful face better." He says and I blush.
""don't say that." I say looking down.
"what, the truth." He smiles and wraps his arms around me "I wish I didn't have to leave."
"Me too."
"You and only you will be the only thing on my mind the whole time." He whispers to me and I smile.
"you can't say that, besides we've only known each other for what five, six days?"
" and we had one hell of an amazing kiss." He adds for me.
I don't reply I look down at my lap.
"hey! there are rumors of us dating, why not make it true?"
"excuse me?"
"Tris, I like you, like really like you, and I can't get you out of my head."
"But-"
"Don't say it. Tris I never thought it was possible, but I think I fell for you."
"but just hours ago you said you were falling for me." I point out, popping a pickle slice in my mouth.
"I did, but now I know I fell for you."
"Four, I think I have too, and not because your famous or rich or whatever. It's because your Pinot afraid to be who you are around me, and I like that." I tell him.
"Good, than lets make it official."
"I don't know if I'm ready.." I whisper
"what do you mean?"
"I like you, I really do, but I.. I just.. I'm not ready for a boyfriend.. I'm still trying to get over what.. He did to me.."
he looks at me for a second and smiles.
"that's okay, Tris if you want o take this slow tell me. I'll always listen."
"Your not mad?"
"No, I'd never be mad Tris. If someone really likes you, they'll give you all the time you need."
"Thank you." I say smiling, glad he understands and isn't mad. I hug him tightly and rest my head on his tight chest.
"Tris?"
"yeah?" I mumble
"If you want me to not freak out and kiss you, you might want to release me."
"Oh, sorry." I say blushing and sitting up
We begin to eat and talk, while people sing along to the karaoke machine. No ones to terrible and no one is incredibly good.
"HEY SHADES!" Someone yells and we look up. There stood the DJ and he was looking at Four.
"Care to sing again?" Four looks at me and I push him, as if telling him to go. He smirks and grabs my arm.
"Sure! Only if it's a duet!" I feel my eyes widen and I shake my head 'no'.
"Cool, get up here."
"Four no, please no.." He shakes his head and drags me to the stage "Four I'm serious!" I cry and pull at my arm
"Tris it's not that bad, once you get used to it."
"Four-"
"please, for me?" He says giving me puppy dog eyes.
"I, I Can't"
"But I leave tomorrow, and I want to hear your voice."
"I-"
"to bad, your up here now."
I gulp and look at all the people looking at me.
"here" four hands me a mic and I begin to shake...
"Hello, I guess I'm shades and this is my beautiful partner For this um duet."
The crowd cheers and the music starts.
"This is one I'm sure you know." He says to me and I nod At him.
instantly recognizing the music I hold the mic to my mouth. Sucking in all and any confidence I have I sing.
Tris:
Rearview crosses
Railroad ties
Oh, Hail Marys
Friday nights
Heartbeat baby
Low-beam lights
God, I miss when you were mine
Both:
Back when that song was a song
I could sing along without thinkin bout you every time it came on
Every beat, every line, every word, every time
When a road was a road
I could roll on through without wishin that empty seat was you
Money was gas, dreams were dust
Love was fast and we were us
Four:
Shotgun sunset
A cool mint kiss
Backseat promise
Breaking it
Floorboard feeling
County lines
God, I miss when you were mine
Both:
Back when that song was a song
I could sing along without thinkin bout you every time it came on
Every beat, every line, every word, every time
When a road was a road
I could roll on through without wishin that empty seat was you
Money was gas, dreams were dust
Love was fast and we were us
Four:
In a sleepy town, just jumping in
Far too young to know that summers end
Tris:
We were us, we can't go back
It's what it is, but God I miss
Both:
Back when that song was a song
I could sing along without thinkin bout you every time it came on
Every beat, every line, every word, every time
When a road was a road
I could roll on through without wishin that empty seat was you
Money was gas, dreams were dust
Love was fast and we were us
Tris:
Every beat, every line, every word, every single time
Four:
I just close my eyes and you're ridin shotgun
Tris:
You and me, baby, on the run
I can feel your heartbeat, baby
When I finish I quickly run off the stage and back to the table.
"Hey, you did amazing." Four says walking up to me.
"I can't believe you made me do that." I whisper
"you have an amazing voice Tris." He tells me and sits down.
I just can't believe I sung with a superstar.
