As the night went on, the club grew crowded and hotter inside. The band on stage were dripping in sweat as they sang their own versions of songs by Elvis, Eddie Cochran and Little Richard.

People cheered and listened as me and John stood by the bar, having another drink and talking about ourselves.

"I'm really glad you took me out tonight John." I blushed looking up at him. He smiled.

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. You're the only bird I know from school that'd be proud to be seen in a place like this."

"Reminds me of America. We have lots of places like this. Rock N Roll is a lot more appreciated there."

"Yeah. It almost seems forbidden 'ere." He yelled over the music. I nodded and took another drink.

The band soon stopped playing and thanked the crowd. A slow song began playing on the speakers.

"D'you want to dance?" He asked looking down at me. I just nodded as he took my hand and pulled me to where other couples were swaying. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he rested his hands on my waist.

"I don't usually dance. So sorry if I'm shit."

"I think you're doing quite well so far Lennon." I smiled. His face turned a bit red.

"So, you and Cyn."

"What about us?"

"What would she do if she found out we were here together. Now."

He sighed and looked at the ground. "She'd probably go crazy. Bad enough she's jealous of ye already."

"Then why are you here with me?"

"Cause I like ye."

"But you love Cyn."

He shrugged.

"You do love her don't you?"

"I say it to her when she says it to me."

"Do you mean it?"

He bit his lip and looked into my eyes. I could see the small beads of sweat rolling down his face from the heat. His hair was a bit damp. He looked sexy.

"No."

"I see."

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Do you like me?"

I just nodded and reached over, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He smiled. The music soon ended and he led me back to our table.

"So you're a musician." I said lighting a cigarette.

"Yeah. Well in a small band at the moment. But one day, you'll be...."

"Buying your records at the shop?" I giggled. He smiled.

"Exactly. Ye know, for a bird you really know your stuff. I mean I've never met a bird so...perfect."

I scoffed. "I'm far from perfect Lennon. There's no such thing."

"You're right. But if there was such thing, it'd be you."

I smiled and bit my lip. He laughed and looked at his drink.

"I just can't believe I'm actually 'ere, with you tonight. I mean we just met and already I feel like...." He paused.

"Like what?" I asked intrigued. He shook his head.

"Nothing." He said downing the rest of his beer. I just looked away and noticed two girls pointing at me and John then talking to each other.

"Hey, d'you know those girls?" I asked as he turned and groaned.

"Shit."

"What?"

"Stay here yeah?" He said getting out of his seat. I watched as he walked over and talked to the girls. They were giggling and blushing like crazy. It bothered me a little bit. I saw John look back at me and started talking to them. I felt out of place now.

I stood up and put out my cigarette. He came back over and noticed me out of my seat.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing i'm just..."

"I'm sorry about that they were just girls I used to..."

"Oh.."

"Look they wont bother us."

"Maybe I should just go." I said looking at him. He looked a little hurt but just nodded.

"I'll walk ye home."

"You don't have to." I said watching him stand.

"It's ten thirty Lucy. I'm not going to let you walk alone at this time dressed like that."

I nodded and looked down. "Alright. Fine."

He grabbed his coat and led me outside. The fresh cool air felt amazing. But chilly. I shivered a little and felt him put his coat over me.

"John you didn't have to..."

"I want to. Please." He said looking at me. I nodded as we began walking down the lonely sidewalk.

"So...again I'm sorry about those girls." He said glancing at me. I shrugged.

"It's fine John."

"Is it?"

I stopped and looked up at him. "What d'you want me to say? That it bothered me?? That I was a bit jealous?? Because yes alright? I was! There I said it!" I yelled storming off. I heard his footsteps as he ran over to me.

"I...I didn't know." He said grabbing my arm and stopping me. I looked down.

"Yeah well, all is done already."

"Ye like me." He smirked as I looked up at him. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't flatter yourself Lennon."

He laughed. "Then why get jealous?"

"Cause those girls just wanted to steer you away from me when we were spending time together. That's all."

"Ah so I see. So you're sayin when you're getting to know someone, you want their full attention?"

"Is that too much to ask for?"

"Nah. You're right. That was rude of them and me. I didn't meant to make ye feel that way." He said looking at me. I could tell he meant it.

"All is forgiven." I smiled. He smiled back as we began walking again.

As we walked, he hummed and often looked over at me when he thought I wasn't looking. I had to turn away from letting him see me smile.

We finally reached my house and stopped at my front door.

"So I'll see ye tomorrow?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. Definitly.'

He smiled and scratched the back of his head. It was awkward for a few seconds.

"So um...I'm glad we went out tonight John. I really had a great time."

"I'm glad ye did. Maybe we can do it again sometime?"

"I'd love that." I smiled looking up at him. He smiled and leaned down kissing my cheek. I blushed and bit my lip.

"Well, gotta go or my aunt will slaughter me for being out to late." He said walking down the walkway. I watched him and smiled.

"Bye!" He yelled walking out the front gate.

I waved and watched as he turned and made his way home.

I walked inside and closed the door with a stupid smile on my face and made my way upstairs, to my room. I just realised, I still had his coat on.

....

It was one in the morning as I laid in bed and thought about our little date tonight. My hair was still damp from my shower as I ran my fingers though it. He confused me so much. I mean he made it clear were friends. But then he said he liked me. He doesn't love Cynthia. He probably just holds onto her for a good fuck.

I didn't want to think about it. I sighed and closed my eyes, letting Elvis sing me to sleep.
