Baton Rouge, Louisiana 1984

"I'll see you tonight uncle, thanks again" leaving out of the bar continuing on with my errands

Putting my headphones on and walkman into my bag I accidentally bump into someone almost tripping until I catch myself. Turning to apologize I get star struck seeing as it's none other than Eddie Van Halen

"You're....oh my god...I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention" rambling on like a mad woman

"It's okay, honest mistake I should be more aware of my surroundings" looking at his smile I can't help but stare, Lord have mercy, he's so beautiful up close I nearly forget where I am

"No no it's my fault really, clumsy me but um...I should get going you're a busy man and probably don't need a fan bothering you" getting ready to walk he stops me by grabbing my wrist

"You're a fan that's awesome, what's your name"

"Y/n, yeah huge fan really you're one of the biggest reason I finally picked up a guitar and learned it" shyly smiling not looking at him, way to be smooth y/n real smooth

"I feel honored, so where you heading y/n" damn the way my name just rolls off his tongue is so sexy, give me strength god

"I still have some errands to run before tonight so I really should get going but um do you mind signing something for me please please please" looking at him with very much hope in my eyes seeing as this is a once an a lifetime chance to run into your idol basically

"Sure whatever you want"

Taking out my Polaroid I step back to take a picture, after it finally comes out and seconds from fanning out the photo I get him to sign it

"I'm gunna cherish this with my life, thank you so much for this" staring at the signature not believing it's real

"So why aren't you going to the concert tonight" breaking me away from daze

"I didn't get the tickets in time they sold out pretty damn quick, but next time right? Either way I got a small gig to play so I'm happy it's a distraction"

"Here" pointing to my uncle bar "what time I would hope I'm finished in time to come see you play"

"I'm scheduled for 11:30pm so I would think you would barely be finishing but it's okay, running into you is more than enough. But I'm sorry I'm running out of time I really need to leave nice meeting you Mr. Van Halen thanks again" quickly walking down the sidewalk carrying on for the day, the smile never leaving my face after what just occurred

Later that night

"So lemme see if I get you, you ran into Eddie Van Halen himself and all you did was get a picture and an autograph......bitch are you dumb ?" Looking at Jamila with a displeasing demeanor I stop in the middle of walking

"Remind me again why we're friends, honestly"

"I mean he ain't my kinda man but anyone with eyes could see he fine so why didn't you give him a taste of chocolate"

"Because he might not be interested in chocolate women so I know when it's not necessary, besides I'm not that crazy about him it's a mutual respect thing" continuing up the street

"Mhm, well there's plenty more fish in the sea, and you're a beautiful, classy black woman who could have any man at your feet here in the city so no worries"

"Yeah but there's only one Eddie Van Halen" walking into the bar finally I go to the side speaking with my uncle until it's time for me to play

Eddie's POV

Finally finishing up the set I quickly get to the back to change. Upon doing so Alex comes in with this look on his face as to why I'm rushing

"What's got you in a rush ?"

"Well there's this girl I ran into today while taking a walk, she's playing tonight down by the bar and I actually wanna see her play" quickly changing my shirt

"You wanna see her play or play ? And since when have you been interested in girls other than a quick one" watching him grab his jacket

"Since I'm the inspiration for her to lift a guitar, she's cool a huge fan even so why not" finally finishing my shoes I quickly go for the door until Alex speaks up

"I'm coming too then wanna see what the big deal is bout this one"

Waiting for him to put his jacket on we leave seeing as it's already 11:40pm and we're already late

Your POV

Finishing the second song I look up at the crowd smiling as they cheer, taking a small drink of my water I lean forward to the mic stand

"Thank you, this next song actually is my favorite to play when I'm alone. I see there's a lot of beautiful black women in the audience tonight. This is for you lovely ladies" changing the tune I strum the first cord taking a quick glance at the crowd I see Eddie and his brother Alex walk in

All through the song I would make various glances up to the crowd but couldn't really keep my eyes from Eddie. It wasn't until the outro of the song I finally look up seeing his smiling face that brought butterflies to my stomach

Leaving the small stage I go to the side to put my guitar away, as I do so I hear Jamila's voice

"Girl you're gunna go far if you keep playing like that, ready to go?"

Nodding I stand up seeing Eddie and Alex coming this way

"Killer performance y/n, I think you know who this is" gesturing towards Alex "Alex this is y/n big fan of the band"

"You trying to give me a heart attack Eddie? That's 2/4 members of the band I've met in less than 24 hours" laughing trying to hide the shock and nervousness on my features

"You play really good y/n might replace Eddie here soon if you finally make it to the rock world" shaking Alex's hand not believing his words I wave them off

"That'll never happen, but thank you means a lot coming from you" smiling at the compliment

"That must be the beautiful smile you were talking about huh Eddie, you're right she was worth it"

Did he just- nooo, me beautiful pshh yeah right

"Hey beautiful why don't you and I go to the bar and I buy you a drink while these two talk about guitars" taking Jamila's hand in his they leave me and Eddie to ourselves

"Sooo-

"Beautiful smile huh, what else were you and Alex talking about" trying to cover up my smile with a serious look

"Uh, I can explain that" watching him scratch the back of his neck nervously stumbling over his words it's cute finding him flustered, let alone I'm the reason he's a stuttering mess

"Well why don't you tell me over a drink and seeing as I missed your concert would it be too much to ask you to play for me"

"It's gunna cost you, but definitely" taking my guitar case in one hand as he grabs my hand with the other leading us to the bar
