Thanks for reading.


Roni was behind the bar watching Henry, out of the corner of her eye, who moved from side to side, arranging the instruments and sound for the presentation of his newly formed band. She rolled her eyes at the emotion emanating from the boy and the stupid little smile that adorned his face.

Sean was in a corner of the bar, watching carefully the guitar that Henry had got him. Roni was really intrigued by that man; they had lived and worked together for almost a week and the man still didn't remembered anything about his past life and without mentioning that he caused her a strange sensation in her chest every time he was near to her. The man looked up from the guitar and realized that the brunette was watching him, and in response, He gave her a half-sided smile that made Roni feel chills.

—Everything is already installed. — Henry informed animatedly, as he approached to the bar. — We'll just have to wait for Nick to arrive to do the sound check and start.

—And who is this Nick? — She asked raising an eyebrow.

—It's a childhood friend of mine. Probably the only thing left of my past life. — The boy looked down with a touch of melancholy but seconds later shook his head and smiled again turning around to continue installing the instruments.

If something Roni admired of Henry, it is that despite everything the boy had gone through, after a rather unfortunate life, it was his little ability to let himself be reduced or saddened by problems or sad memories.

Sean put the guitar aside and started walking towards the bar; He had nothing to say to Roni, but still wanted to be close to her. The brunette stared at him as he approached her. Both opened their mouths but did not utter a word.

The presence of Henry, who had arrived at the side of a boy with brown hair, big eyes and of his same height, distracted them.

—I want to introduce you to Nick — The boy spoke. — Nick, he's Sean, and she's Roni.

The boy extended his hand to greet Sean and stared at him for a few seconds feeling that he knew him from another side. Then he made a gesture with his hand to say hello to Roni and she answered with a smile on her side.

—If you don't mind, I would like to check the sound of the keyboard — Nick said.

—Come on, we have to start now — Indicated Henry to Sean giving him a pat on the shoulder.

—Break a leg. — Roni commented with a small smile, that Sean answered with a half-sided smile before turning around to go on stage.

Sean was nervous, when he took the guitar his hands were shaking and his throat felt dry. He heard Henry give the drums a couple of punches and Nick start playing several keyboard keys. Sean closed his eyes and began to remember the chords he wanted to play, then he took a few steps towards Nick and whispered the name of the song and the same he did with Henry. Both boys nodded and at Henry's time, they started playing.

Roni looked up from the bar as the melody began to take shape and her mouth fell open as Sean began to sing.

"Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love

Can you hear me?

Came back only yesterday

I'm moving further away

Want you near me"

The people at the bar focused their attention on the three men who were starting very well. Roni putted one of her arms on the bar so she could observe more comfortably the three boys on the improvised stage that consisted of being on top of a step.

"All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you"

Sean looked at Roni and smiled at him, he continued to sing and she continued watching him. The song made something inside her move uneasily.


In another realm.

Regina left her tent with a kind of nightgown like pajamas; she looked at the sky and let out a long sigh. It was passed midnight and she still couldn't fell asleep. Her breath was like a white vapor due to the cold of the night that made her cross her arms. The brunette walked a couple of steps and stopped at the edge of the camp.

—It's cold out here, milady. — Robin spoke behind her.

Regina jumped and turned around quickly, her face frightened.

—Robin! You scared me.

—I'm sorry, milady. — He approached the brunette slowly and putted his cloak around her shoulders making a knot at the neck so delicately that Regina felt her body shaking. —I saw you leave and it didn't seem right to leave you alone at this time of night.

Regina smiled, why did he have to be so gentlemanly and charming?

—Insomnia? — She asked raising an eyebrow and putting her arms under the cloak to cover herself from the cold.

—Sort of... Every night I wake up from the same disturbing dream. A man points at me with a strange device and a white light hits my chest and I feel strange, then I turn around and... I wake up. — He explained.

—Don't you remember anything else? — Regina was excited waiting for that answer but all illusion disappeared when Robin shook his head and pressed his lips in a thin line. — Since when do you have that dream?

—It's been so long that I can´t remember it.

They both stared at the ground and by an act of impulse, Regina slipped her hand to take the thief's. Robin was surprised but didn't stopped the gesture, on the contrary, he linked his fingers with the queen's and he smiled sideways. Regina squeezed Robin's hand tightly when she felt that she was going to fall to the floor at the feeling that his touch was causing her.

—Can't sleep either? — He asked without letting go of her hand.

—I feel a little restless — the brunette replied with a shrug.

—For all the business about the girl you talked me about?

—Sort of…

—Well, there's something positive in all this.

—What thing? — She asked looking at the thief.

—Now I will have someone to accompany me in my insomnia.

Robin smiled as he looked at the queen, and Regina smiled at the deep clear eyes of her soul mate.


Hyperion Heights.

Roni hadn't stopped tossing and turning in bed, so she had decided to get up and walked to the bar in search of a drink of vodka to help her relax. She walked across the cool floor with his bare feet and leaned in search of a glass.

—Insomnia? — She heard Sean talk.

She raised her head and hit the bar.

—Shit! — She complained massaging her head with her hand and looking to her left to meet the light-eyed boy. —You scared me to hell, Sean.

Sean scanned the slender body of the brunette and she noticed the act, and seconds later, her cheeks flushed, she left the glass on the bar and with her hands she pulled on the long shirt she wore like her pajamas.

—I'm sorry, I was coming for a little water...

—What are you doing awake at this hour? — She asked with a frown still feeling the pain of the blow.

—I suppose I still have the adrenaline of tonight. — He answered with a shrug.

—You must be happy because you were a success.

—I admit that I liked being on a stage again.

—Well, I guess now it will be more recurrent. I don't think Henry would calm down with all the business of the band.

—If it bothers you, I can tell him that I will not participate anymore...

—Easy — Roni said quickly. — There is no problem, customers like it.

—Then... — Sean walked slowly until he was very close to the brunette and reached out to take the glass she had left on the bar. — Let me serve you a drink to celebrate. He grinned sideways and Roni bitted her lip nervously.

He walked to the shelves and looked for the vodka that he always saw her drinking. He served a little bit in the glass and then returned to the brunette, reaching out to hand her the glass. Roni looked down and found a curious lion tattoo on Sean's arm. She frowned and took the glass while still looking at the tattoo.

—It's a very curious tattoo.

—Oh yeah! Is the only one I have — Sean observed his tattoo and covered it with his hand showing some shyness.

Roni sipped at her glass feeling that she had seen that tattoo somewhere else, but her thoughts were interrupted as she felt a certain tingling move through her body as she realized the way Sean was watching her, as if he was trying to record her fully in his memory. The brunette decided to finish her drink and cleared her throat attracting Sean's attention. He smiled sideways and she left the glass at the bar.

—I think I'll try to sleep a little — She informed.

Sean nodded and he watched her walk without being able to take his eyes off of her shapely legs and realize that that woman, little by little, hypnotized him.


Another night without sleeping, unable to stop spinning on his little cot from which his feet were hanging, Sean was sitting in the small outdoor area that separated the bar from his room and his eyes were lost in the overcast sky. Just two hours ago, he and Roni had closed the bar and it had been, again, a successful night for the bar and the newly created band. Sean knew he would have to find a new repertoire of songs soon, but always, the first song that came to his head was "Only you" and he could tell that Roni liked it; every time the song started she shook her head at its rhythm and that made him smile.

He was enjoying being there, and he could not deny that the biggest reason was the company of the brunette, that beautiful and attractive woman who couldn't stop looking askance while serving drinks.

Sean sighed and closed his eyes for a few seconds asking his body to surrender to the fatigue that flooded his body.

—Again with insomnia? — Roni's velvety voice caused him to jump up from his chair and he turned around to look at her.

This time, she was wearing a kind of lycra on her legs accompanying her long shirt that she wore as a pajamas; It would probably be because she had realized that the night before he couldn't stop looking at her from head to toe. But what did she expect? She was beautiful.

—My head doesn't stop spinning — He answered, running his hands through his hair.

—Something wrong? —The brow of the brunette wrinkled and she crossed her arms.

—Only a recurring dream about the accident.

—Can you remember something? — Roni took a couple of steps towards him.

—Nothing, just the accident, and not at all... I only remember intense white lights, a pain in the chest and then nothing.

—I am so sorry.

The brunette smiled sideways and on an impulse she placed her hand on the gray-eyed man's cheek. Sean smiled, and with his hand he took Roni's hand, entwining his fingers gently. He looked her into her eyes, in those deeply brown eyes and without being able to control himself, with his free hand, he stroked the outline of the olive face with the tips of his fingers. Roni's breathing started to shake and he knew he was too close, so close that he could feel the warmth of her small body.

Sean thought no more and leaned over to kiss her; at first, it was a clumsy kiss, full of surprise, but Roni allowed Sean to take her by the waist to join their bodies without leaving any space. The brunette sighed and slide her hands through Sean's strong arms as she felt their lips devouring and their tongues beginning a battle. He placed one of his hands on the brunette's head feeling the need to kiss her more deeply, but it was no longer possible.

The air began to run out and she putted her hands on Sean's chest. Roni moved away from his touch, breathing hard, with her lips swollen and her expression surprised. She looked at him for a few seconds before walking at a brisk pace away from him.
