Craig took the iced drinks cooler, took a small step to the side and whispered in my ear.
"I'll be back in the lounge if you're pining for me!" His eyes met mine and he managed the prettiest smile I'd ever seen. He watched as Craig stood very close to me and said something to me until he finally came between Craig and me.
"I see you've already met my girlfriend?" Craig's eyes widened.
"Dude, what the hell are you talking about?" He rubbed my back gently and stood right next to me.
“Craig, take the vodka and go to Taylor, he's waiting! And do me one more favor: I don't care if you pick up any creature you come across....but not you !!« Craig groaned and went back into the lounge.
"Relax, I don't know you like that!" When Craig was out of earshot, I saw those green-brown eyes again. I didn't even know what to do or what to do.
"Girlfriend? What? ...After those horrible moments at the fair??” He had no more facial expressions.
"Listen...I was just trying to prevent my brother from having a girl I want!" Craig is his brother? I was stunned by his statement and I think my eyes said so too.
"Are you guys totally nuts? I'm not a toy to argue with, am I? I'm not an object to be claimed!' The gleam in his eyes finally faded. He put his hands on his hips and shook his head slightly.
"What? ...No... I don't think you understand...' But I interrupted him. What is he imagining? So just because he makes a little music he can have any?
»...-No, let it be! ...I don't know what got into me when we were on that ferris wheel together, but I take back everything I did there! I totally regret that I got so close to a complete stranger like you without knowing anything about him!!!! ....I don't even know your name!" He took a deep breath and held out his hand to me.
"Hey, I'm Jayden... and please give me one more chance to explain... Please!" He begged me. So Jayden! I shook his hand briefly and poured myself another champagne. Jayden smiled and his dimples showed. »...Okay, let me explain everything now, okay? ...You know I don't have the chance to meet someone like you. I play in my brother's band but we're climbing the charts and more and more people recognize you on the street. There's no chance of getting to know someone "just like that" without that person coveting my fame! At least that's what I thought...until before at the fair!! ...You had no idea about the band, didn't know me and see me as I really am. And in the Ferris wheel... I don't know how to describe it....b-but... something.... I mean... there was something between us! ...I couldn't stop thinking about you and above all about the impression I must have made on you!!« He laughed shyly and avoided my gaze.
Suddenly his head shot up when he heard Debora laugh with Dwayne. Jayden had probably not noticed the two and only mumbled briefly to himself.
"Deb'? What the... what does he want from my sister?” Sister? Debora is Jayden's sister and so is Craig? It's getting crazier. What's next? Jayden started toward Dwayne, but I grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"No, not! This is Dwayne... my friend! All right, please sit down again!” He looked at Debora again, exhaled deeply and sat down next to me on a vacant bar stool.
'So your friend?' He ordered a water.
"Yes, my best friend!" Jayden looked relieved but took a long sip from his glass.
Slowly we warmed up to each other and talked about all sorts of things. He talked about his life since the band became more famous, that there was a lot of downsides and listened intently to me when I talked about my last four months in Australia. I now knew more about this beautiful young man who could make my heart race with just a small smile. Jayden is 20, mainly plays drums in the band, but can also play many other instruments such as guitar and piano and even supports Craig in singing. He told me that he never wanted to be in this band, but a friend of Craig's left a year ago to start his own band. Actually, he had only joined the band out of necessity to help Craig and now they were conquering the charts. Debora was my year and from his very detailed conversations I could really hear that he cared a lot about her.
Dwayne turned to me on his bar stool for the first time since he sat across from Debora. He spotted Jayden and pieced it all together himself.
"Hey, you're..." At a loss for words, he pulled away from Jayden's gaze and looked at me and continued talking. »...Joe, you found your »lover« from the Ferris wheel«? ...haha... and then one from TheHeartbreakers ... Shit, I can't take it!...' Debora laughed sweetly at him.
"Dwayne, this is my brother Jayden!" Dwayne rose from his stool briefly, then sat down again.
"Holy shit, huh? ….haha…that's crazy…” Dwayne drained his glass and then turned to me. “What I was going to say, Joey, I got a message! Check this out…” He held out his cell phone.
Haven't found you.
Since probably already gone.
Let me know next time!
We are at home now too
LG Dan
“You okay?” Jayden gave me a quick pat on the arm. How do we get home now? Are they really easy? I checked my cell phone and had several missed calls. Crap.
“Joey, don't worry, we'll get home somehow! If I have to, I'll call a taxi!' He nodded encouragingly, but he was actually right.
"Yes, okay. Let's enjoy the evening, or do you want to go now too?' Dwayne looked shyly at Debby.
"No, if it's okay with you I'd like to stay!" I nodded to him and he turned fully back to Debby. Jayden raised his eyebrows. He probably didn't know what to think of Dwayne and Debby. That's what unsettled him, too.
I stood up "Do you want to come with me?" and snapped him out of his deep thoughts.
“Where to?” I nodded towards the huge panes and started running, which overlooked the dance floor below. I just always loved people watching. At the front of the pane there were nothing but small tables and sofas and a few single armchairs. I sat at the farthest table in the corner, from where I could see everything. Jayden followed me with my glass, which I must have left at the bar. He handed it to me and sat right next to me. Actually, I thought he would sit across from me.
"Found anything good yet?" He looked down at the dance floor. I giggled and looked for crazy or funny people and even found a few.
“See that guy in the yellow shirt down there? I think he's trying to dance...” Jayden searched the ballroom and spotted the person I meant.
"That's not a guy!... Definitely a woman..." He made me laugh and we joked around for a while and enjoyed the time together.
I had no idea what it was about Jayden that fascinated me, but I felt the comfort in his presence that I've only known Dwayne to have. I didn't quite understand that a few hours ago we didn't really know each other and I thought he was a freak.
And how the hell can a human have eyes like that.
And his looks, they bored into me and left a nice feeling in my heart.
Jayden looked at his watch. It was really late, how quickly the time had passed.
"How are you getting home now?" I couldn't stop smiling and shrugged my shoulders.
“I rely on Dwayne! He never lets me down and always brings us home somehow!” Jayden glanced around the room, back into my eyes, back away, and then his gaze lingered on me... So heartfelt, warm, sparkling, loving, and sweet at the same time.
"Well, I could... drive you home?!" He explained that he hadn't been drinking because he never did when Debora was around. He always wanted to make sure that Deborah got home safely. I thought what he said was really cute. A brother like that is a godsend for Debby.
We went back to where Dwayne and Debby were, still sitting exactly as we had left them. Jayden explained to them that we were leaving now.
His bandmates and his brother were still sitting in the lounge with a few women. He and Debby wanted to say goodbye to everyone and Dwayne and I stood there like idiots.
They were all totally dolled up and styled. So much make-up and whatnot on the faces and then between the easygoing rocker boys. It just didn't fit.
Then there was Dwayne and I, totally inconspicuous with all the glamor girls and the band members. I was glad that we waited a bit apart and could watch everything from afar.
"Jayden, are you leaving?..." A tall, curvaceous black-haired woman in a glittery gold dress made her way over to him, her hair tossed over her shoulders. I rolled my eyes and Dwayne grinned at me. He had the same thoughts as me. bitches She put her arms on his shoulders. "Are you sure you want to go already? I really missed you Tonight, where have you been? You couldn't get enough of me last time either!” Ouch. That really hurts.
Let's get the hell out of here. Debora came back to us and Dwayne put his hand on my back and gently stroked it.'My brother's an idiot!' Debby gave me a sympathetic look. I looked beside me at Dwayne, who looked slightly angry."Can we go now, please? ...let's just take a taxi, please! ...I just want to go home!' He wanted to say goodbye to Debby, but I went downstairs and out into the night. Jamal was still standing in his spot, right in front of the club door."Hey kid, are you alright?" I looked at him really desperately and walked over to him."Can you get us a cab?" He gave me a charming grin and patted my shoulder."Two are standing in front, come with me, I'll take you there for a moment..." I followed him through the darkness to the main street. He held the door open for me and told the taxi driver that he still had to wait for someone. Before I could get in, he gave me a loving smile. "I see when sad looks like that are men's fault...well what can I say...men can suck!" I no
The last holiday weekend passed really quickly and everyday school life was there.Like every morning, I walked over to Dwayne, who was also coming out of his house.'Ready for the first day of school? The last year Joe!!! We're almost there!” I grinned at Dwayne, who got into the car, his hair all messy. Ever since he had a car, he always took me to school with him."Ask me again later! ...I'd rather be in my bed now.” Dwayne laughed and we drove off."Have you heard from Jayden?" He pulled into the school parking lot.“Thanks for giving my number! I thought I could just break up with him but now he texts me all the time!” He grinned cheekily and said he was sorry for giving my number to Jayden but I knew he wasn't sorry.Tomm-tomm. My cell phone vibrated. again."Is it him?" Dwayne glanced at me as the car came to a stop and he put on the handbrake. We got out and I pulled my phone out of my back pocket.»Yes...« This was followed by a deep sigh.can we meetJust the two of us?I ha
It's been two weeks now since I met Jayden. He still wrote to me every day, but sometimes I answered and sometimes I didn't. I thought about him a lot and started searching the internet for him over and over again.Debora and Dwayne were still sizzling, but sadly they hadn't been together yet. I have no idea which of the two needed an invitation, probably both. They spent a lot of time together and I was very close to Debby too. She really was totally fine. Debby had also become part of our clique and had found her place among us. We were very similar in many ways and attitudes and I was really thankful that we had almost every class together. We also sometimes studied together after school, which really showed in both of our grades, because not only I but Debby was an A student.It was only a week until that school party at Heaven . There were posters advertising it all over the school and it was the number one topic of conversation.Dwayne came into the cafeteria on Thursday with ou
He managed to grab me by the arm again before I reached the restroom. I turned to him and it made me furious that he grabbed me like that. "Let go of me!" I jerked my arm away from him and Mike stared at me, startled.“Joey, let me make it up to you. I miss you! I regret everything I did to you... Please give me one more chance!"I passed him again, but then stopped. The anger just came over me. I took a small step towards him and let a girl pass who had just come out of the toilet and pushed past Mike. I waited until the door to the club was closed behind me. "Are you completely out of your mind? You screwed me from start to finish! So I'm supposed to give you one more chance to fool me again and brag about it to your friends. You're a complete nut...' I did hear the door open behind me and the volume increase for a moment, but I got caught up in my freak and kept yelling at Mike.»...Who do you think you are? Just because you were the first one I loved doesn't mean you're the last!
I followed him into the parking lot in front of Heaven . I looked for an expensive car, but we headed for awhite pickup. “Wow, so this is yours? If I hadn't thought of it, I was expecting a fat Audi or BMW! No Ford pickup!' He unlocked the car. “No, mine is with my mom! It's my dad's!” Jayden gave me his shy smile. "And what kind of car do you have ?" He walked me to the passenger door. "A fat BMW!" When he tried to mock me, he had to laugh. "Where are we going?" He lifted the passenger door for me and I was surprised at how big and roomy the car was inside. But I didn't get an answer. He drove off and I had no choice but to listen to the radio. We were almost out of town, in a neighborhood I've never been to. When he stopped the car at the side of the road, I finally wanted to know more and broke the silence. "Jayden, where are we? What are we doing here?” He got out and before he closed the door I got my answer. "Just wait here, I'll go get something!" It wasn't the answer I
I started telling him about myself and trusted him completely. His gaze was directed at me and he radiated this warmth and security towards me.»Okay,.... well, in kindergarten I had my first great love, if you can call it that. His name was Thomas. We'd even kissed, just on the mouth, but he was my first boyfriend...' I smiled, thinking about that weightless time with Thomas. What was he doing today? After second grade, Thomas moved away with his family and I hadn't seen him since."That doesn't count..." Jayden laughed and gave me a quick wink. I had to laugh a little too."...okay, okay... So my first kiss....I had..with Dwayne..." I watched his reaction and he looked genuinely a little surprised. I got a little unsure at his look again and quickly continued talking. »...but that was just out of curiosity. We wanted to know how to kiss when we were twelve. So we thought we could try it together and kissed... It was so awful...' I laughed at the memory. Jayden just grinned. I had ne
There we were in Jayden's dad's pickup truck, right in front of my house. It was already six in the morning. I had no idea how the time went by so quickly, but Jayden felt the same way, I knew that.I looked over at him and he smiled at me with his tousled brown hair. "Thanks for the great evening... or rather night?!" He took my hand and kissed the back of my hand again. I didn't let go of his hand and kissed his cheek."I hope it wasn't so bad that we left your school party?" I shook my head slightly and stroked his hand, which I still held tightly."No, it was just right and the best breakfast I've ever had!" He smiled familiarly and pointed to the front door. I saw that the curtain on the window next to our front door moved a bit. Oh no."You'd better go inside..."I got very nervous because I didn't know what to expect at home. Hopefully I didn't get in trouble. "That must be my mom." I leaned in and planted a kiss on his warm lips, then quickly got out of the car. He waited unti
That's a really fat BMW. A matte black BMW was parked in front of our house and I was blown away by this car.Jayden held the door open for me and put his sunglasses back on. He planted a kiss on my cheek and I got in.When we finally drove off I turned the radio down. "What did my dad want from you?"He stared down the street. "It's not that important."I crossed my arms. "Jayden! Tell me!"He took a deep breath and began to explain it very calmly. "He made me realize I should be careful."I didn't understand. "What should you watch out for?"Jayden braked at a red light and looked at me. "Well, that with us! He warned me to leave you alone if I wasn't serious about you. After all, I'm a rock star!...” He looked at me, waiting for a reaction, but I looked sadly at the traffic light. “...Joey, it's okay. Look at the situation. He sees a famous guy with his vulnerable little daughter... I would do the same if I were him!'I shook my head. "It's not okay to threaten you!"But Jayden def
