Hey, sorry for the wait. I've been really busy with stuff. Hope you enjoy this one. The song is 'Ready To Fall' by Joey Fatone.
Greg nervously glanced at his watch. It was already five the end of shift and Sara was five minutes late. Maybe she bailed, he thought. That thought was quickly erased from his mind when he saw Sara walking towards him. He couldn't help but smile. "Hey Sara." "Hey." she replied, giving him a peck on the cheek. I am so loving this, thought Greg. "So, you ready for our first date?" Sara nodded. "Yeah." "Okay then. Let's go." The drive to the bar was short and uneventful. They got out of the car and Greg, being a gentleman, opened the door for Sara. "Thank you." "You're welcome."
They took a seat at a table, facing each other. They ordered their drinks and let the awkward silence creep in. The waitress came back with their beers. Greg took a sip from his. "So…" he started. "How are you?" Damn it, he thought. That was real smooth of you, man. "I'm good. A little overworked but good. You?" "Same." Greg's eyes darted around the room and finally rested on the TV, which was showing a basketball match. Sara noticed what he was looking at. "You play?" Greg quickly turned to her. "What?" "Basketball. Do you play?" "Oh…yeah. Sometimes." In the background, some bald, overweight, drunk guy was singing very badly. When the song was over, one or two people clapped out of politeness. The guitarist then took the microphone. "That was Mikey with 'I Touch Myself'. Anyone else brave or drunk enough to come up here and give us a song?" Greg suddenly had an idea. "I will." Sara looked at him, surprised. He's going to sing, she thought. Wow.
Greg made his way up to the stage. He flipped through a book, searching for the right song to sing. He finally found it. "This one." he said. He put the microphone on the stand and spoke. "This song's for the lovely lady that I'm here with tonight." The band started playing the song. Greg took a deep breath and started singing.
I get a feeling
I can't explain
Whenever your eyes meet mine
My heart spins in circles
And I lose all space and time
And now that we're standing face to face
Something tells me it's gonna be okay
And I'm ready to fall in love tonight
Ready to hold my heart open wide
I can't promise forever
But baby I'll try
Yes I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
Greg's voice was smooth and clear. Sara couldn't help stare at him in awe. She never knew he could sing like that. Other people in the bar also turned to watch him sing.
I know you've been watching
Choosing your moment
I've been dreaming of that day
No one before you
Has gotten to me this way
And now that were standing face to face
There's something that I need to say
And I'm ready to fall in love tonight
Ready to hold my heart open wide
I can't promise forever
But baby I'll try
Yes I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
Nothing is certain
This I know
Wherever were heading
I'm ready to go
I can't promise forever
But baby I'll try
Yes I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
Yes I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
Yes I'm ready to fall
In love tonight
In love tonight
In love tonight
Once the music and singing stopped, all the bar patrons clapped. Sara's eyes were filled with tears. Greg made his way back to the table. She gave him a hug. "That was amazing, Greg." "Thanks." They ordered a few more drinks and decided to leave before they ended up like Mikey, who had gone to the bathroom
over an hour ago and still hadn't come out. They guessed that he had probably passed out on the toilet. Greg drove her back to her apartment. On the way there, they talked about Mikey, work and other stuff. "You know Sara, this is probably the longest conversation we've ever had." "Yeah, I guess." When they got to their destination, Greg walked her to the entrance of the building. At the top of the steps, Sara turned back to Greg. "Um..I had a really great time tonight. Especially when you sang." "Again, thank you. So, can I look forward to another date with you?" "Why, yes you can." Sara leaned in and kissed him. "Goodnight Greg." "Night." As Sara entered the building and closed the door behind her, Greg had the biggest smile on his face.
