Chapter 5
Ash and Michael began going out more often. They would go to the movies, walks in the park, to lunch, and enjoyed just being together. But they hadn't officially called themselves boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
Currently Ash was at Moon Theater practicing her new song. She managed to think of a song to sing, and now she just had to practice. When she finished the last notes, she felt very pleased. Then there was a knock at the door, and Johnny poked his head in.
"Hey Ash, lunch is here, and so is your boyfriend." he said.
Ash chuckled.
"He's not my boyfriend." she told him, then she whispered,
"At least not yet."
When she walked out, she saw Michael, and smiled. And when Michael saw her he smiled. He waited until everybody was digging into the food, then he went up to her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hi, Michael, how's work going?"
"Going great, how's the song?"
"Almost done with it. I have an idea for our date tonight."
"What's that?"
"There's this karaoke bar in the city, that I'd like to take you to."
"Sounds fun."
"Great, I'll take the metro to your place, and we'll drive there."
"Okay, see you tonight?"
"You know it, bye."
She planted a kiss on his cheek, and the two waved goodbye to each other as he left with the others.
That night, Ash took the metro train to Michael's apartment, and when she inside. Upon arriving at his apartment, she knocked on the door, and Brianna answered it.
"Hi, Ash." she greeted.
"Hey, Brianna is your brother ready?" asked Ash.
"Almost, he's just making sure he gets all the boogers out of his nose."
"Brianna." hissed Michael hurrying into the room, he looked very embarrassed.
"Hi, Ash. Don't listen to Brianna, she's just kidding around."
"Then why did u have your finger..." Brianna started to ask, but the doorbell rang.
"Well, there's Mrs. Stevens."
He answered the door, and Mrs. Stevens came in. After being introduced to Ash, the two left.
As they drove, Ash spoke.
"So are you a music lover?" she asked.
"I do like music, but I've never sang before." Michael explained.
"Then you'll have chance at the karaoke bar."
"Wait, you mean you want me to sing?" he wondered, nervously.
"Yeah."
"Uh, I don't know, Ash. I mean I don't want to look like a complete idiot in front of a bunch of strangers."
"Don't worry, I'll be up there with you, and people sing there no matter how they sound."
When they arrived at the place, they told a worker that they wanted to sing a duet of Broken by Seether. They took a seat at a table eating chips and salsa as they watched the other acts and waited for their turn.
At their turn they made their way onto the stage.
"I'm a little nervous, Ash."
"Relax, just follow the words on the screen, and I'm right here."
They grabbed two microphones, and after taking a deep breath, Michael started. Ash was surprised, he was actually a pretty good singer, then she joined him for the next part. Together they sang the song, enjoying the sound of each other's voice.
The patrons clapped, and the two bowed. Back at their table, they talked some more.
"You're a pretty good, singer." Ash complimented.
"Thanks, you're good too. But then again you know that already." Michael replied.
Ash giggled at his comment.
"You know, Ash I was wondering."
"What?"
"Would you want to make it official, that we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Well...I'll let you know my answer tomorrow night at the show. Here are tickets for you and Brianna."
She gave him two tickets.
"Thanks, we'll be there."
He then took the tickets from her.
When it was time for Ash to get home, he walked her to the metro station.
"See you tomorrow, night." said Michael.
"I'll look for you." replied Ash.
The two kissed, and she got on the train. Michael hoped to get an answer tomorrow night.
