"That's what I'm talking about!" Alex seems excited about my decision to be myself and high-fives me.
I laugh and reply, "I'm hungry. I haven't eaten much today, do you want something?" I take my wallet feeling the cold black leather wallet out of my pocket feeling the silver painted engraved crescent moon and 3 stars. The moon in particular is freezing. Weird.
"Sure. Get a pie and when Danny gets back we can all split it." She hands me money. "Here's five it's ten in all."
"Thanks." I take the bill and walk over to the five person line just as Danny walks on stage. His form fitting black jeans match his black longish hair. I'm captivated. His tight green shirt matches his eyes. My throat tightens when his velvet voice starts singing "Lullaby" by Chase Coy and his fingers effortlessly strum his dark acoustic guitar that has the same exact engraving of the moon and stars on it as my wallet. He shakes his head to move his hair away from his eyes. Do I know him? I quickly place the order and walk back to Alex.
"Who's that?" I ask breathlessly.
"Danny" She replies proudly.
"I thought so." I mutter.
"I know."
"Come again?" I'm so confused right now, you have no idea.
"Ah shit, never mind." She quickly saves herself. "Every Friday at 11:59 at night Danny plays three songs."
"When exactly does this place close?" I ask sitting down.
"Two am." Alex smiles.
"Sweet."
The pizza comes just as Danny finishes his last song and walks over to the table. Talk about an awkward moment.
"Good job oh nightly one." Alex smiles jokingly.
"Thanks." He replies. Oh my lord, his voice is gorgeous!
Danny turns to me noticing my presence and turns back to Alex and says, "Al is this...?"
"I don't..." She replies.
"Alexia." Danny says scolding.
"Daniel." She states.
"Elenore?" I jump in awkwardly. It's okay, I'm just an awkward person.
Daniel looks at me terrified.
"So I win?" Alex asks. I look at her questioningly but she doesn't acknowledge me at all.
"Nyx?" Danny asks me.
Now where have I heard that name before...
