Follow Me

I quickly changed into a skinny jeans and a pink top. I brushed my hair and pull it in a ponytail.
I went to find Robbert and Ashley at the bar. Most of the crowd left, still the vibe was good. Even my set didn’t went on there was still some music.
I saw Robbert talking to a guy who was with his back towards me. I didn’t saw Ashley anywhere. I walked to them.
“Hello.” Robbert gave me a hug.
“Are you alright?” He asked.
“Yeah I’m alright.”
“You were good up there.” I turned to that guy Robbert was talking to.
“Nail Horan.” I recognized him. I reached out my hand.
“Kim Post. Nice to meet you.” He grabbed my hand softly.
“So bad the power went out. You’re good.” He said.
“Tomorrow she will have another set here.” Robbert said before taking sip of his drink.
“Maybe I will come tomorrow to watch you again.” Nail looked at my straight into my eyes.
“I didn’t know you like this kind of music.” I joked.
“There is more you know don’t know about me.” He winked.
“Where is my beer?” I asked Robbert.
“The lady wants a beer? She gets one.” Nail orders a beer for me.
I turned around and noticed Ashley talking to a big guy with long dark hair. She was definitely flirting with him and he was flirting back.
“Here you go.” I hear and turned around to see Nial smiling at me holding my beer.
“Sheers.” I took a long sip from it.
“Thirsty?” Robbert joked when he grabbed his phone.
“I have to make a quick phone call.” He walked about leaving me alone with Nail.
“So again, what brings you here?” I start.
“Actually Robbert asked me to come.”
“You two know each other?”
“Yeah. He wanted to pitch a new track and want to know if my voice fits.”
“You doing a dance track?” He nods his head.
“That’s why he is here.” I know now. He didn’t tell me.
“And to be there for you.” Naill said.
“What do you mean by that?”
“He… I…. He came…”
“What are you saying, Nail?” I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around.
“Kim, I think I’m going back to the hotel.”
“Ashley. Already?” I looked up to see a guy standing behind her holding her hand.
“Don’t be up late, Kim” She said smiling at the guy and left.
“I think I leave after this one.” I hold up my drink.
“Want to ride back to your hotel?” Naill asked.
“No, maybe I can share a cab with Robbert.” I looked over his shoulder to see Robbert still was talking with someone on his phone. Naill placed his beer on the bar.
“You sure you don’t want to stay around for a bit?” He asked.
“Tonight didn’t go as planned already. I just want a hot shower and go to bed.”
“Why not drink one more, please? With me?” He looked at me with puppy eyes.
“I don’t know.”
“I would like it, if you stay with me? Just be my company for tonight.”
“You really know how to persuade a woman with those eyes.”
“Sorry.” He went shy.
“Don’t be shy. I’ll stay.” I smiled. Robbert walked back to us.
“I have to go back to the hotel. I have to catch a plane back home tomorrow morning.”
“Really? You’re not staying for my show tomorrow night?” He shakes his head.
“I’m sorry. Niall, we have to meet up another day.”
“That’s alright. I will come to you next time.”
“Have fun with Niall.” Robbert whispered while hugging me.
“I will call you tomorrow morning.” He said letting go and walked away.
“So, it’s just you and me now.” Nail handed me my drink.
“Too a great night.”
“Too a great night.” We hold our beer up.
“So what are you doing now you are on ‘a break’?”
“Haitus,ey!” He pointed his finger at me. I hold my hands up.
“Sorry. So what are you doing?” I asked relaxing on my barstool.
“I’ve been traveling around the world for some time. Now I want to stay some time here at home with family and friends.”
“I didn’t see much of the world yet. I only been around Europe. Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy…
“Italy is great. Love the food.”
“Ow the food and the wine.”
“Love it.” He smiled.
“What?”
“I have a crazy idea. We were both love Italian food. I know a little place nearby. Maybe we can go there for a little bite. At least for a glass of good wine.”
“Like now?”
“Yes, now. I don’t have anywhere to go and I would like to get to know you better.”
“I…”
“I’m sorry. Are you and Robbert….” His smiled disappeared
“What? No, Robbert and I are great friends. Nothing more. Really.” His smiled came back.
“Maybe tomorrow?” He asked.
“No, why not now? Maybe this night will turn out to be great. Shall we go?” I finish my drink and got of my seat.
“Ow okay. I have to get my jacket.”
“I have to get my things from my dressing room.”
“I will meet you in front. I will get us a cab.”
“You said it was nearby. Can’t we just walk?” He looked down at my feet.
“I thought you were wearing heels but you’re not.”
“No, sometimes I wear boots to give me a little height but I’m not a heels kind of girl.”
“Then let’s walk. See you soon.” He gave me a small kiss on the cheek before leaving me at the bar. I watching him move forward. He turned around with again his great smile.
This night was going to be better that I though a hour ago…
