to an end with a quick drum solo.
“I promised you something a little special. I normally wouldn’t play a new song until it was perfect, but I have been working at it all week long. It isn’t finished yet, but I want to share with you the first few verses and see what you think. I am still waiting to see how the song will end.”
The lights dimmed down, the bassist and the other guy on guitar stepped back away from the front of the stage.
Leon looked directly at Lilly. His foot started to tap on the stage. He then started to tap on the front of his guitar. Once he started to pluck away at the strings he closed his eyes.
In an instant
With just one look
Your light shone so bright
In an instant
I knew you would lead me
Something’s been missing
In an instant
I found all the right that had been missing
He looked up at me while he interchanged tapping the outside of his guitar and picking. He danced into his tapping foot. His moves swayed him from side to side. He leaned forward and started to sing again.
When will I see your light again
Like a star guiding through the night
The sweetness in your smile
Carries me through
In an instant
In a dream
Where will I see you again
A prisoner of my life
Won’t you set me free
Leon strummed and slapped at his guitar as he shook his head and danced into the beat. He repeated the two verses again the second time the band joined in behind him. While he was singing he kept his head down with his lips nearly touching the microphone. When his eyes weren’t closed he was looking into Lilly’s soul through hooded eyes.
Lilly’s stomach all but fell out onto the floor. She hardly knew this guy and he was singing a song he wrote for her, about her. She felt like she was dreaming. Lilly’s lack of success at dating had begun to make finding a man a painful challenge. She now found herself sitting in the back of a bar watching one of the hottest guys she had ever spoke n with singing a song to her.
The crowd was going wild screaming. Some people were dancing and others were looking around trying to figure out who he was singing to. As he finished the second round of the partial song he swung his guitar around behind him.
“I think that is only the beginning of a long and passionate song. I have waited to find the right path to walk down, and I think I may have found one worth sprinting to. The suspense and anticipation are electrifying.
“We were going to wrap it up after that , but I think we are going to finish the night with a cover. We have played this song before, but tonight it is just perfectly fitting.” Leon turned to the band and said something away from the mic. “This is our version of Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet.
“Here we go…”
The band started to play again. Lilly knew the song and recognized the tambourine and peppy beat. Lilly grabbed her drink and sucked it down nervously.
Leon changed the Lyrics to fit her and their situation to a tee.
“High stripy heels,
Long blond hair…”
Well I could see,
you home with me,
but you were with another man, yea!
I know we,
ain't got much to say,
before I let you get away, yea!
I said, are you gonna be my girl?
He was laughing a little while he was singing. Lilly felt both flattered and embarrassed. It was true that she was there with another man. She could see herself home with him so much so it scared her.
Her so called date with John felt like it was eons ago. He couldn’t have been gone more than an hour. To Lilly it felt like a lifetime ago. Her heart was pitter-pattering at the realization that her life had only just begun.
Lilly had only had a brief interaction with Leon, and the connection was exhilarating. She was tempted to have another drink to deal with her raging emotions, but for her that meant it was time to be sober and live the experience. She didn’t want to forget how she was feeling anytime soon or have a fog of alcohol jading the
