Waking I sit up and look around my room. With no window in here its hard to see anything but darkness. Standing up I walk over to my dresser and grab the costume I had bought a few weeks back for Halloween and walk to the bathroom intent on taking a shower before work tonight.
After washing my hair and body I step out of the shower and grab my towel. Intending on leaving my hair wet today I dress quickly into my lacey naughty angel costume. Fixing my hair appropriately I walk out of the apartment and head down to the bar.
Walking in I look over to the bar to see aaron floating near the ceiling over the bar itself, with a drill. Making my way to stand below him I stare at his back for a sec. "What are you doing exactly?" I said while taking a look at what he was installing. Jumping down he landed next to me looking me up and down while letting out a wolf whistle.
"Nothing much really, Angela saw these while we were out shopping and asked me to install them for her. I have a vague Idea about what she wants them for, but I don't know for sure." Smirking at him I laughed to myself.
"I know exactly what she intends on having those for." Looking back up at the stripper poles now installed into the bar.
"wow Aaron that was fast, Hey Alex you look great… but I have some for you to finish off that costume turn around." Turning around I felt her pin something to my back. Looking back I notice a small pair of grey feathery wings now on my back.
"Awe sweet now its complete, So Aaron what do you think." Twirling slowly for him with a smile on my face.
"the wings tip it off big time." He said with a smile.
"good, hey Angela Aaron was wondering what the poles were going to be used for… wanna show him?"
"hmm, SO I WAS RIGHT, that is what you wanted them for. I think I'm really going to enjoy tonight." Angela started to head to the bar with a grin when we heard footsteps behind them.
"wow guys you did an amazing job tonight. So are you all ready for tonight's bash?" turning around I see Fred standing in the door way staring at the decorated club.
"Actually Fred it was all Aaron, I mean I helped alil, but it was mostly him." Angela pointed out while taking a seat on one of the bar stools
"I'm ready for tonight it's going to be a smash. Everyone's going to love it here." I said excitedly
"Hell, Yeah I can't wait for tonight, it's going to be killer." Aaron said as he let out a howl.
"Well good we open in 30 minutes be ready I already unloaded all the liquor so we are fully stocked, Oh and guys Have Fun." He said then proceeded to turn and walk away towards the back.
Standing behind the bar mixing drinks, I look up to the stage and watch aaron walk out for his performance. He sat a chair in front of the mic and started stum the opening for Hey there Delilah on his guitar. Listening to him play I continued to serve the drinks.
~Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.~
Finishing the notes for his first song he started to play the notes for another, when I'm with you by faber drive.
~Saw you walk into the room
Thought I'd try to talk to you
Babe am I ever glad you wanted me to
It's been two years to the day
Half the time I've been away
I know I'm not there enough but that's gonna change
Cause I'm coming back
To show you that I'm keeping the promise I made
When I'm with you I'll make every second count
Cause I miss you
Whenever you're not around
When I kiss you
I'll still get butterflies years from now
I'll make every second count when I'm with you
Yeah we've had our ups and down
But we've always worked them out
Babe am I ever glad we've got this far now
Still I'm lying here tonight
Wishing I was by your side
Cause when I'm not there enough
Nothing feels right
So I'm coming back to show you that
I'll love you the rest of my life
When I'm with you
I'll make every second count
Cause I miss you
When ever you're not around
When I kiss you
I'll still get butterflies years from now
I'll make every second count
When I'm with you
Whatever it takes I'm not gonna break
the promise I made
When I'm with you
I'll make every second count
Cause I miss you
When I'm with you
I'll make every second count
Cause I miss you
Whenever you're not around
When I kiss you
I'll still get butterflies years from now
I'll make every second count
(Make every second count)
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
Yeah~
Finally finished he stood and gave a slight bow before walking off the stage to stand by the bar. Walking up he smirked. "Can I get a rum and coke." He asked. Turning to him I smile innocently.
"No." I said trying not to laugh
"eh, that's mean I always got you yours. Fine then I'll just let Angela make yours from now on." Grabbing the cup and bottle I made his drink and took a sip of it.
"That's cool I got kinda used to them anyway." I said with a grin sliding the glass across to him.
"Ahh but there not as perfect as mine." He said with a grin as he downed his drinkin one gulp. "And do you know how many people here would pay for this. To drink after Alex…and I get it for free, aren't I lucky." He walked around the bar and kissed my neck before excaping back towards the stage.
"Hey Angela let's give these things a try shall we…" Making myself a shot I down it quickly.
"Yeah lets go for it." I watch her take a shot as well watching aaron climb on stage he grabs the mic.
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN, I think its time we geared up for the night, how about you." Aaron said with a grin and let out a howl just then Mac started up the tune for This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson. Hearing the music start Angela and I climbed up on bar and started to twirl on the poles hearing loud hoots from the customers by the bar as Aaron started to sing with a deeper voice.
~Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange
Come with us and you will see
This our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll scream!
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green
Aren't you scared
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the who when you call, Who's there?
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
In this town
Don't we love it now
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King, now!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat]~
As he finished Aaron began to look around the crowd and bowed. As he was standing back up he caught sight of something right in front of him, or someone. His jaw dropped as he spoke forgetting he was holding the mic.
"MOM?"
"What?" I said losing my grip I fell off the pole and landed on the floor on my back. Seeing Aaron walking over to me he reached down to help me up. Once standing he pointed to a table near the front of the stage.
"That's my mom and bro."
"You're mothers here? So you were living in this dimension?" reaching back I start to pull my hair in front of me to cover myself.
"I guess so, I stopped trying to stay in contact when I found out it traveled dimensions." He said as he reached behind the bar and grabbed his Jacket and handed it to me. "So why don't I go over there and introduce you to them." Wrapping his jacket around myself I button it up and stare down at my feet.
"This thing is huge…"
"Here, let me help." Reaching over he pulled a string inside the left arm and the bottom of the jacket raised up to my ankles. "Better?"
"yes much thanks."
"Well then, let's go." Hooking her arm in his, he walked up to the table "Are these seats taken?"
"Not at all go ahead," the woman dressed as a witch said. Aaron then sat down and I sat next to him.
"So mom, chris how have you been." He asked grinning at them, as they looked at him confused.
"I don't remember having a son that looked so much like an old man." She asked staring at him.
"How do you know my name" the young man by the name of chris asked with caution. Aaron laughed slightly. As he did his trademarked smirk.
"Aww, you saying you forgot your oldest child mom? I'ts me Aaron."
"Aaron…Aaron who …how…why… what happened to you, you look so old." His mother stuttered slightly at first.
"Many things mom, many things. Oh yeah I would like you to meet my girlfriend Alex. Alex this is my mom and brother." He said motioning to everyone.
"Hi it's nice to meet the two of you."
"Likewise, I'm Mary" she said exteneding her hand to me. Taking it I shook it softly.
"hi I'm Chris, if you don't mind me asking how did Aaron meet such a hottie like you." Blushing slightly I turned to his mother.
"Are all you sons so blunt?"
"Actually, not all of them, just these two."
"Yeah, but DJ's only 16." Aaron said smirking again. Turning back to Chris I smile still blushing.
"Actually, he saved my life… I was being bullied in my home town, and helped me out."
"Oh, wow, never knew he had it in him, he wasn't much of a fighter when he left." Chris said looking as if he was starting to doze off.
"Hey that was then. You'd be surprised at what I could do now. Hey Chris, you ok, you look tired." Aaron asked noticing the same thing.
"Yeah, just the guys in 11A wouldn't keep quiet so I couldn't sleep." Heart stopping all the blood rushed to my face. Pulling the jacket up to cover my face I hid inside of it. Hearing Aaron laughing I shrink down lower into the jacket.
"Hey, whats so funny." Chris asked grouchily
"OH GOD, lets just say that Alex lives in 11A and I live in 11B"
"SO THAT WAS YOU TWO." Chris said then mumbled "lucky bastard"
"Say why don't we continue this discussion in our apartment, it's getting late , and I think it's about time we got back before rich and dj get into another scuffle." His mother said standing up.
"Sure I'll meet you up there when alex's shift is over you don't mind, do you chris."
"Nah its fine, I could use a couple more drinks after finding out that it was my brother that made all that noise last night."
"Ok well I need to get back to work umm…. Aaron heres you coat back." Slowly I unbuttoned it and turned around. Taking it off I tossed it over to him and walked off to go talk to Angela, hearing the duel wolf whistle coming from behind me.
