(Too Much In The Heights Reference?)
Eliza walked into the club and sat at a table waiting for Alex to come. She kept hearing shouts. "Liza! Lemme get the next one!" a man shouted at her, obviously drunk.
Alex walked up to her and started talking. "Hey Eliza! I'm glad we could come out again! Damn, this is nice. I really like what they've done with the lights. You might be right, this music's tight. Yo, did I mention that you look great tonight. Because you do you really—"
Eliza rolled her eyes. "Alex relax!" she wrapped her arm around him. He tensed in her arms.
"Relax? I'm relaxed! You need to relax! So you've been here before. I don't go out much. I write too much so my arms are sore! No time for the dance floor. But maybe you and me should hang out some more. I know I'm such a dork, but I—" he started rambling again.
"Alex let's get something to drink." She chuckled and lead him up to the bar.
"Champagne right?" He asked and she nodded.
"My favorite." Eliza hailed over the bartender. "Two champagnes."
The man handed over two flute glasses with bubbly drinks. The couple found a secluded table in the corner. "So. I've been meaning to tell you…"
"Yes?" Eliza asked and sipped her glass more.
"Um… Here… Can someone put this on?" Alex handed a disk to the DJ, whispered something and the man came over the speakers.
"Yo yo yo! This special song is dedicated to a special lady! Can we get some quiet for this special couple? 'Liza and Mr. Smooth here!" The DJ cat-called and put the disk on. (Insert Music Of Alex's Rap In Helpless)
"Eliza I don't have a dollar to my name, an acre of land, a musical hand, a dollop of fame. All have is honor, a tolerance for pain, a couple college credits and my top notch brain!" he raps, a small beat he came up with at my house the day before. "Insane, your presence brought out a different side of me! You confide in me, though girls may try to take a bite of me, no stress, these feelings for you are never in doubt. I'll try to get a place in Harlem, try to figure things out. Have been living without a fam'ly since I was a child, my father left, my mother died, I grew up kinda wild but I'll never forget my mother's face it was real. As long as I'm alive, Eliza can you help me not feel so helpless?"
The beat dropped along with Eliza's jaw. "Hamilton." she whispered and the bar went even more quiet than it previously was, with everyone still whispering before she talked. "Are you asking me what I think you are?" Alex nodded slightly. "I-I'm sorry Alex, but I hardly know you. It wouldn't be right."
His face dropped and the shorter man nodded. "Right. Yeah. I'm sorry. I um.. I-I should g-go.." you could hear his voice waiver, as if he were about to cry when he left.
Eliza felt her face flush hot under the burning stares of everyone in the club. "What? Don't you people have lives?!" she shouted and stormed off in Alex's direction.
"What do you want?!" he snapped, tears were running from his eyes and she felt a pang of guilt hit her hard in the gut.
"Alex I wanted you to know that it wasn't you, it was me. I'm not ready for that. Not after.. him. Look-"
"No! You know what, just get away from me! And stay away!" he shouted.
Eliza's eyes softened. "Alex please-"
She couldn't finish the sentence. Alex took a step forward and socked her in the jaw. "I told you to leave me alone!"
Her eyes went wide but she said nothing as he turned on his heel and walked out of her sight. What had she done to deserve this? She could feel the bruise starting to form a nasty purple shade on her cheek. This was a disaster.
Sorry this took so long to get out and it's so short. I had my friend over today and it's hard to write when you're rolling on the floor laughing.
