ht not ever have come back here,” Lilly stated as if she never had any intention on returning.
“I see.”
“What do you see exactly?” Lilly was not usually so forward.
“Right now I am looking at the very thing that has consumed my t houghts since I bumped into you,” Leon told her.
She thought she was going to pass out.
“About that. Where is your girlfriend tonight?” Lilly wondered what exactly his deal was with the screaming maniac troll.
“She is not and never has been my girlfriend. I grabbed coffee with her once. I don’t know what I did or said that led her on to believe we were more than that. I honestly think she has some mental health issues.”
Lilly sucked in her cheek and lifted the same brow in an inquisitive manner. She wasn’t sure she was buying his story. “That girl was really pissed off. I’m not sure I have ever seen anyone flip their shit like that.”
“You’re telling me. I had to get a new phone number and she is officially on the banned list here. It is really hard to get permanently banned from this place.”
“The guy working the door seems to have a pretty good memory. I don’t think he will need a list.” Lilly was starting to feel bad that she needed to get back to John. Of course she wanted to talk to this guy until he would at least officially ask her out or for her phone number.
“Who, Jay, the big black guy?”
Lilly nodded.
“That guy is the best. We go boarding together sometimes.”
“I better get back,” Lilly said. “I’m Lilly by the way.”
“Pretty, your name I mean. Yeah I gotta go get ready to go on stage, they are probably wondering where I am.”
“See you then.” Lilly started to walk away from him and he caught her by her waist and pulled her back against him. Her back was pressed against his chest.
“Meet me after the show,” h e whispered against her neck. His words tickled their way all the way down to her toes. He had her captivated with his rich voice.
Lilly pulled away slowly from him. She turned around to him before she walked out from behind the wall dividing them from the bar crowd and her date. “I don’t know, maybe.”
“I will be at the Red Flag Diner at midnight. I hope you will be too.”
She practically had to drag herself away from him. Holy crap he just asked her to have a rendezvous with him.
She walked back to the bar. John stood there waiting for her. She realized looking around at everyone that he stood out. She couldn’t put her finger on what it was, maybe just that he was one of the only people not watching the stage. He looked like he couldn’t wait to get out of there.
“Hey.”
“I was starting to worry you fell in,” John said.
“Oh there was a crazy line. I don’t know what always takes girls so long to pee.”
“I was afraid maybe something happened. I was going to come check on you.”
“Is that why you look so gloomy?” Lilly asked him.
“I don’t know, I am just so tired. I really wanted to selfishly spend another night with you, but I maybe should have been resting.”
“It’s no biggie. W e can get together another time,” Lilly said, even though she really didn’t have any interest in spending any more time with him. Bethany was going to kill her.
John pulled Lilly in close and went to kiss her. She felt his move coming before he might have set it in motion, she grabbed her drink from his hand and took a sip of her beer to subtly block the kiss.
“It would be cool if you could stay for the rest of the show, but I totally understand if you want to head out.”
“I don’t want you to travel h ome alone at this time of night,” John said.
The music playing in the background was again the DJ or cd they had popped in while West Front started to set up.
“You do not have to worry about me. I have been getting myself home alone for quite some time now. Besides, I just downloaded that new app on my phone where I can order a car service.”
“Well, I don’t
