Disclaimer: Same as Chapter One. Thank you guys for leaving a review! If you leave a review again, that would be great!

The bar was couple blocks from my apartment so we decided to walk there.

While we were walking to the bar, Stella explained to me that when they would get done for the day, they would always come down there and have a drink or two.

When we got at the bar, I looked up at the sign. It's called "55 Bar"

"A jazz bar? I didn't know you like jazz?" I said to Stella when we were about to go inside.

"Oh no, it's not exactly my subject but it's cheaper at least." replied Stella. I laughed at her response as we went inside.

Inside in the bar

There were a couple of people inside the bar, drinking and playing the pool.

There was music playing in the background, a female voice singing "My Blue Heaven"

The only thing that stood out of the crowd is the several people sitting at the round table, the people from Stella's workplace.

It was Lindsay, Danny, Don, Sheldon, Adam, Sid, and Mac. They were drinking beer when Danny asked them " Do you know where is Stella? She was supposed to meet us about an hour ago."

"I think Stella is with her best friend right now... She might bring her here to meet all of us." responded Lindsay.

"Oh really? That's interesting." said Don

"Don't even think about it. She is way out of your league." said Danny. "I know that cause we met her at the airport today. She is hot, dude" He groaned when Lindsay elbowed him the stomach for saying that. "Sorry babe." Danny said kissing her.

Lindsay was looking at Mac while Danny was talking to Don. "He looked sad and so quiet. I cannot believe that Peyton dumped him by the letter. That was cruel. He has been hurt twice, one by Claire's death, and now Peyton. I just prey to God that he will find someone to spend the rest of his life with." she thought.

They were interrupted by Mac. "I'm going to get some beer. Does anyone wants some?" Mac asked.

"Yeah, sure" said everybody at the table.

Mac came back with bottles of beer and gave them out to everybody.

They continue to talk until Lindsay had spotted Stella come in with Isabella.

"Oh, here they are. Hey Stella!" said Lindsay, waving at Stella.

Mac looks up and saw Stella with Isabella. The first thing he notice about Isabella was her eyes. God, they're beautiful. he thought.

Isabella's POV

As I came into the bar with Stella, I heard someone call Stella's name. So I looked across the bar and saw Lindsay waving at us.

So I walked across the room with Stella to the table.

"Hey guys, This is my friend, Isabella." said Stella.

"Hi" said everybody. I waved at them as a response.

"Isabella, this is Don, Sid, Sheldon, Adam, and of course you met them at the Airport, Lindsay and Danny, and finally, Mac."

"Well, it's nice to meet you guys" I said as I prepared to sit next to Don.

Stella went around and sit down between Mac and Lindsay.

"Well, I heard alot of good things about you guys. Especially Don's reputation." I said, giggling at the reaction on his face.

"What do you mean by that? Stella, what did you tell her?" said Don.

"Oh, just interesting stories. I'm not gonna to tell what I told her. You'll have to guess." said Stella.

"Alright, I'll tell you. One word: Player." I said, lifting one of my eyebrows.

"What? Ok, I deny it. It's not true." replied Don, lifting his hands up to defend himself.

Everybody laughed at him, some shaking their heads at him.

"Anyway, I'm gonna get a beer, Isabella, you want one?" Stella asked

"Yeah sure, I would like a Zest beer please." I replied.

Stella started to walk toward to the bar when she overhears two female waitresses talking:

"Oh my god, what are we going to do? Our singer never show up and we need someone to sing tonight!" said one of the waitress.

Stella thought of something and smiled; she walked to them and explain to them that she got someone in her mind.

A few moments later, Stella came back with the beers.

"Here you go, Isabella" said Stella as she handed me the beer.

"Thanks." I replied. I took a sip out of my beer.

We continue to talk until an announcer comes up on the stage.

"I'm sorry to announce that our singer will not be here tonight. However, we have a replacement. Here's Isabella Whitney!"

I spit out my beer when I heard my name. Everybody started to clap and look at me. I looked at Stella and gave her a dirty look.

"I'm gonna to get you when I'm done!" I replied as I started to walk to the stage. I got up there and saw a guy at the piano.

I thought of a song and told him. The guy nodded.

I walked up to the microphone and looked out at the crowd. The only person that stood out was Mac. I smiled at him, and he smiled back.

I cleared my throat and nodded to the guy. He started to play.

I waited for my cue, as it came, I sang:

That certain night, the night we met,

There was magic abroad in the air.

There was angels dining at the Ritz

And a nightingale sang in Barkley Square

I listened to the music with my eyes close, waiting for the next lyrics to come.

I may be right, I may be wrong

But I'm perfectly willing to swear

That when you turned and smiled at me,

A nightingale sang in Barkley Square

Couples stood up and went to the center of the floor, dancing slowly.

When dawn came stealing up, all golden blue,

To interrupt our rendezvous.

How I remember how you smiled and said,

Was that a dream or was it true?

Our homeward step was just as light as

The tap dancing feet of Astaire

And like an echo far away,

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

I know 'cause I was there,

That night in Berkeley Square

The music continued until to the end. Everybody started clapping and cheering for me. I bowed down and said thank you alot.

Two Hours Later

Everybody had gone except me andMac. We had been talking for few hours, getting know each other.

"How long have you been singing?" asked Mac.

"Well, I started singing when I was five years old, and my parents decided to send me to a music school where they taught me many forms of music, including Opera. Tonight was the first time I sang in a long time."

"Oh really? Why did you stop singing?"

"It's something that I rather not talk about. I will tell you someday when I'm ready. Just not now. Now, Stella told me that you play bass guitar for jazz band."

"Yeah, I play when I have a time off. This song you sang tonight, why did you choose it?"

"It's my favorite song. It's the first song I was singing when I was a little girl. I remember hearing it on the radio and I sang along with it. It's silly now." I laughed at my memories as I was telling him.

"We are closing the bar. You might as well go home." said the bartender as he got ready to get home.

We looked at him, then looked at each other.

"Well, I might as well to go home. It was nice to meet you, Mac Taylor."

We both stood up and shook hands.

"Bye." I said and walked away but I heard my name being called and turned around.

"You think I'm gonna let you to walk home by yourself. I don't think so." Mac said as he put on his suit coat and walked to me.

"It's only 3 blocks from here. You don't have to do that."

"Doesn't matter. Now, let's go."

We left the bar and we continue to chat until we reach to my place.

"Well, that's it. Thank you for walking me home." I smiled at him. He smiled back and says "No problem. I just want to make sure you get there safe."

"Well, good night."

"Good Night." said Mac.

It was very arkward so we decided to handshake.

I walked up the stairs and looked back. Mac was standing here.

I get inside.

"She looked back." said Mac. He smiled.
