illicit affairs

24. first night anxiety

She had made her way from her piano to the middle of the stage, waiting for the darkness to leave and the heart shaped lights to envelope the room. As soon as she came into view of the crowd, they once again, began to scream.

Aaralyn started to wave and blow kisses at everyone, waiting for them all to calm down as she brought the mic to her mouth. "I want you all to be loud tonight."

"Told me, told me I'm your only
It's all unfolding, babe
Slowly, slowly, lies you told me
All saw the light of day
You been wasting time on the other side
If you're satisfied, touché
Now you say you hate all the empty space
And if you could go back, you'd stay
Didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurt to see me out of your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now
Chase me, chase me
That's right, baby, yeah
Feel the way it feels
When you don't have control of who I'm holdin'
Is it feeding you all your fears?
You been wasting time, on the other side
If you're satisfied, touché
But the lights are off, your so called friends are gone
Oh, I know what you're 'bout to say
Didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurt to see me out of your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now
Didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurts to see me out of your reach
Bet you wanna touch me now
It's could out there, let me know what you found
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now
I bet you wanna
I bet you wanna

Aaralyn began to feel the music even more as she sang the lyrics at the microphone stand, it was surreal watching the people around her sing the lyrics that she wrote, she couldn't believe that people had memorised them.

She also found it crazy the different types of people that she could see in the crowd, everyone of them had a clear different story, it was crazy seeing so many people together, enjoying the same thing, in one place.

Bet you miss me, bet you're reminiscing
I bet you hate the way that you said goodbye
And you still can't even tell me why
I hate the way that you left me dry
But I'll keep that between you and I

Aaralyn rolled her eyes slightly as she sung the lyrics, remembering the situation between her and Tom that occurred those few months ago where he completely blew her off, she knew it came as a surprise for him when she released this song.

I bet you didn't think about it when you let me down
Hurts to see me out of your reach, bet you wanna touch me now (oh, touch me now)
It's cold out there, let me know what you found
Bet you wanna love me now
Bet you wanna love me now"

"I promise you guys soon that we'll take a break and have a little chat but for now, this next song, I think the lyrics say everything in it. Im sure every girls been in a situation where you know that.. that guy is bad for you but you just like him so much you can't let him go. So, with that, this is bad for business..."

"He's good for my heart, but he's bad for business
Tears me apart when he grants my wishes
All of my friends think I've gone crazy
But they don't know me like my baby
We look good in photographs
I liked the way you laugh at dirty jokes
I know they'll always land
Used to get to work on time
But now you're taking up my nights
Never been so glad to be so tired
Ooh, I'm mad for you"
