One Summer Day (BWWM)

CHAPTER 18

"You flatter me lady Cléo," He taunts and I laugh, "Please don't ever call me lady Cléo ever again, that is the corniest sh*t I've ever heard," I say attempting to catch my breath.

I open the door to the karaoke booth Yon and Jeno rented for us and we're met with the sound of laughter echoing through the room. Roman was the first person to notice me and he gave me a little smile, his eyes focused on the person next to me and his expression dropped slightly,  

Before I could question it, I was suddenly engulfed in a hug by the only person I know who smells like Sol De Janeiro 40. "Jagi, I'm so glad that you could make it," She exclaimed, turning to face Theo, "And you brought a new friend?" She asks and I chuckle at her expression.

"Guys, this is my new friend Theodore, he's from London," I say introducing. He gives a shy wave and chuckle. 

"Ay don't worry man, we don't bite," Says Tako walking towards him to dab him up. Theodore reciprocates the action. Jeno does the same, soon it's Roman turn. I couldn't help but notice how quiet Roman was being throughout this whole interaction. Not wanting to ruin the mood by bringing it up, I sit next to Yon and we start searching through the karaoke machine to see which song we were going to sing. 

After a long debate we had decided on our first song, Come Through and Chill by Miguel ft. J.Cole. Yon was in charge of the rap, and I was in charge of the singing.

"Uh, trust

Pick up the phone, show me it was real
Pick up the phone, show me it was real
Pick up the phone, show me it was real
Pick up the phone

Yeah, I don't wanna put no pressure on ya
I just wanna put a blessing on ya
Since our last undressin' session
I'm not really sure if you've been checkin'
I'm progressin', I just heard my songs is poppin' out in Macedonia
And even Serbia, I don't mean to burden ya
If you got a man since then, I understand

Last thing I wanna do is get you jammed
'Specially if he's a fan, he'll prolly never wanna hear my shit again
And I need every single sound scan
But if you single and you down, then
I'm in your town fiendin' for another round
I was countin down the days
Been more patient than a Browns fan
Where that chip at? Prolly on your shoulder, 'cause I forgot to hit back
Left you on read, apologies I said
But often never meant, well fuck that, I repent
For message never sent, now," Jeno was looking at her thoroughly impressed and I couldn't help but smile. Soon enough it was my turn,

"Hello, stranger
It's been a minute since we last kicked it
And by the way, just got in town
That I won't let cumulus clouds all in the sky
Ruin my vibe
Usually, I don't do this often
But since recruiting, isn't an option?
Due to unusual rain and thunder
Baby, I wonder, baby, I wonder, would you just

Put your sweats on, put your sweats on for me, yeah
'Cause I got the plug, I made the call for green
I'm talkin' late-night for you
Let me lay a great time on you
Don't hesitate, no, don't you, no, noJust say you will, will, will
Come through and chill, chill, chill
Just say you will, will, will
Come through and chill, chill, chill," I sang wholeheartedly staring into Yon's eyes and smiling. I felt so happy and stress-free. Just having fun with my friends and good vibes all around, I really truly felt content.

Yon and I kept singing, completely forgetting the existence of the boys in the room. We both spin and around, dancing to the rhythm of the song getting into the groove of the music,

'I wanna f... all night (Say it)

I wanna f... all night (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Come through and chill, chill, chill
I wanna f... all night (Say it)
I wanna f... all night
Just say you will, will, will
I wanna f... all night (Say it)
I wanna f... all night (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Come through and chill, chill, chillI wanna f... all night (Say it)
I wanna f... all night (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
I wanna f... all night (Say it)
I wanna f... all nightPick up the phone, show me it was real
Pick up the phone, show me it was real
Pick up the phone, show me it was real
Pick up the phone, yeah," We both finish out the song and bow to our audience of the four boys who are clapping and hooting for us.  

Yon walks over towards Jeno sitting next to him while I walk over towards Tako who seems to be enjoying his time doing nothing. 

"Cléo, you and Yon out there where actually fire, like I didn't expect Yon to spit like that," He says taking a sip of his beverage. I laugh, "Yon and I always do this in our dorms as joke, this is the first time we've ever performed in public so yo guys should be lucky, this is a once in a life time opportunity," I say as I reach out to snack on the finger food we had ordered. 

"We I'm glad I was one of the select few who were able to have this experience," He responds. "Also by the way, I've been wanting to ask you but you know life," He says and I nod in understanding urging him to continue, "I recently just dropped a clothing line," I turn around to look at him with excitement. "Tako ! Why didn't you tell me this, this is great news," I say grabbing unto his shoulders and squealing, " I'm so proud of you! This is big," I couldn't help but squeal in excitement. Not being able to contain my job hug him and we sway from the side to side.

Unbeknownst to me, two pairs of eyes were watching us.
