Enemys to lovers Julex( alex turner x julian casablancas)

Part 2

Both Alex and Miles arrived at the outskirts of new york and outside a sketchy apartment.

"Um... i guess i should knock" Miles said as he went to knock in the front door

Alex you can tell was the quiet one. Very reserved. Could you blame him though? He had just moved countrys not long ago.

The door flung open and it showed a guy in a grey sweater smiling over "Hey c'mon in !" He said as he motion inside

Both Miles and Alex went inside. Alex slightly cling onto Miles jacket since there was a lot of new faces.

"Im gonna go get a cup of water... im feeling a bit thirsty" Alex mentioned as he let go of Miles

"Ok be safe i'll be here" Miles said as he stood awkwardly

Alex hung his head low since he didnt really like making eye contact. Ironic since he was the leas singer of his band. He mainly let his hair cover his eyes so he didnt have to see people.

Big mistake of Alex though because as he was heading down he bumped into someone almost making both fall

"Hey watch it !"  Said a tall grungy looking guy

"I-Im sorry" said alex as he looked to the ground

The guy sighed and rolled his eyes

"Just be more careful next time, By the way im Julian, Julian casablancas"

"Alex" said alex as he looked up at him.
"This guy is very very tall". He thought

Julian smirked and hunched down to meet alex eyes

"So alex, What brings you here ?"

"I was invited here, by a friend of a friend"

"Youre not from around here are you?" Asked julian

Alex gave him a funny look and crossed his arms

"What gave it away my accent? Hm?" He said sarcastically

"Well duh" Julian said mockinly "Look this is a party for musicians only. I dont know if you are a plus one or whatever but only musicians are allowed here"

"I am a musician!" Alex angrily exclaimed "I-Im... m-my band is called the Arctic Monkeys"

"Arctic monkeys huh? Never heard of it here in the underground music scene, you guys must be nobodys that get no gigs"

Alex couldnt believe what this guy was saying. He waa so rude and mean. Might be a new york thing. But still he couldnt believe it.

"I bet im a better musician than you" Alex said undoubtly

"Oh you really think that?" Smirked Julian "Well hot shot. Prove it. Theres a battle of the bands next week i'll put you against me and we'll let the crowd decide who wins"

"Deal!" Said Alex "And if you lose you um... you... You have to stop being so arrogant with me!"

"Pft deal. And if you lose you have to give me your most precious guitar that you own. A musicians worst nightmare" Julian said as he stuck out his hand "Do we have a deal?"

Alex looked nervous. He only owned one guitar the one he uses for gigs. If thats gone then his band will also be gone. But he couldnt let Julian win. Plus who is he anyways? Cant be a good musician if hes hanging out here.

Alex gulped

"D-Deal"

"Awesome. Heres the flyer" Julian said as he handed Alex the flyer "Be there next weekend with three songs, youll go after us, so be there at 10pm"

Alex took the flyer and saw the name "the strokes" on it

"Wait... Youre... the strokes?" Alex said nervously

"So you've heard of us huh? Well i cant wait to hear you guys play"

Julian walked away and all that was left was a dumbfounded Alex just standing there

"Alex ! Ive been looking for you, where have you been?" Asked Miles

"Um.. Miles i have something to tell you..."
