Thanks For Making Me A Fighter

Chapter 2

“But what if someone comes in after me, who is more beautiful? I wouldn't have been the most beautiful woman to come in then would I?” I twiddled with my hair.

“I doubt that would happen,” once again he winked and walked away to carry on serving. With that Shaunna appeared,

“That was either the longest pee ever, or, you decided to just stand in the toilet for as long as possible to make me look like a loner,” I didn't really mind I got to flirt with the hottie barman, which I feel guilty about, if Damo knew he would go mental, but a little flirting never hurt anyone. Did it?

As the rest of our friends turned up we went and got a table. Few hours later most of us were tipsy, dancing and having a laugh, it was karaoke night tonight; some of the people singing were dreadful. I was a bit tired so I decided to sit down for a bit, when the barman came over to collect glasses, he held his hand out,

“I'm Shay by the way,” I laughed at the fact it rhymed, I stopped when I realised how immature I looked, I held my hand to his,

“Amberley,” he held my hand to his lips and kissed it, causing me to blush.

“Amberley, I like it, never heard it before,” he sat opposite me

“Yeah, my parents decided to name after how I was conceived,” he just looked at me, puzzled “Well my name is Hindu for the sky, my parents decided whilst on a plane they wanted to join the mile high club, which led to my mum getting pregnant, therefore I was conceived in the sky,” he looked at me quite impressed, and looked like he was thinking hard,

“Hmm interesting, I would off just called you Sky though” he laughed, oh my god he laughed at his own joke, I think he noticed I did not like his joke very much,

“So can you sing?” He asked looking hopeful, I shook my head, just as Shaunna interrupted

“Yes she can, she is amazing” she smirked and walked away, wow sometimes I could strangled her,

“Good,” he winked got up and walked off.

Truth was, I actually loved to sing, and I was pretty good. I loved anything to do with performing, singing, dancing, and acting. I’ve been in all the schools performances, which reminded me how much I was looking forward to the next one.

 The senior year performance was always a big deal, everyone in the year had to be involved in some way or other, obviously those who do drama, singing or dancing had the major roles, but I take all three and intend to be the lead. Usually the school only lets you take one of the three options, but I begged and begged to be able to take all three and promised I would take extra curriculum classes and tutoring to keep up with my other classes.

“Oh my god,” I shouted, the karaoke dude just said my name, I put my head in my hands and hoped no one would notice, when I felt myself being dragged up, I looked and noticed it was Shay,

“I can't believe you,” I squealed

“It will be fun,” he assured me

I stood on stage waiting for the song to start, Summer Loving popped on the screen,

“Cheesy much,” I really am not impressed.

The song ended and I must admit it was quite fun, Shay gave me a hug and I walked towards Shaunna, she was smirking,

“Oh my god he is so into you, you should well swap numbers” I actually found it funny how excited she sounded

“I don't think so, he is just having fun don't think he will be interested in seeing me again” I sighed when I heard a voice behind me,

“Oh but I am very interested,” he winked, I've never known anyone to wink so much and get away with it, I can't believe he actually wants to see me again,

“I'm sorry but I have a boyfriend,” I heard Shaunna tut and I looked at her,

“Amberley he is an absolute asshole, he don't even deserve you and you know it, anyway we're all leaving now you ready?” I nodded, I didn't know what to do, and Damo is perfect fifty per cent of the time but is that really enough?

“Sorry I have to go” I walked away before I got tempted, I headed out of the door and was just about to get in the cab when I felt someone grab my arm. It was Shay. He handed me a price of paper with his number on,

“If you decide your friend is right, and your boyfriend is an absolute asshole call me ok”'

 I took the paper and nodded and then he pressed his lips against mine, I should of pulled away, I knew I should off, but I didn't, I wanted this, and his kiss was amazing, he pulled away and looked into my eyes,

“I'm sorry I just had to kiss you before you left, see you around” and he walked back into the bar, I wanted to follow him but before I knew it I was in the taxi heading home, replaying what just happened in my head.

 

DAMO'S POV 

I stood on the corner and watched him kiss her, I waited for her to pull away but she didn't, I've watched her in the bar all night flirting with him. It was wrong to follow her and watch her I know, but I had to, I don't know why, I just knew that I should. I felt the anger exploding inside me like a bomb; I turned and punched the wall, hard, very hard. I felt warmth down my arm I looked down to see it was bleeding badly. I wanted to hurt him, I wanted to kill him. I pulled out the knife I always keep in my pocket, my dad tells me to keep it for my safety, and he has a lot of enemies. I thought about it, not tonight, but once my parents are away I'll make him pay.
