He walked with her across the street, to enter the building where his apartment was, opening the door he allowed her to enter first, then he followed.
"A bit small, but better than the shoebox I lived in. Apart from the guitar, bed, table an chair...wait, only the bedsheets, cutlery and plates oh and the clothes are mine."
He grinned and pulled open a window, to let the last light enter the apartment, then he pulled clothes from his drawer and went to the bathroom.
She looked at his place it was rather nice which was a good thing for him, she smiled when he tapped her nose and sat on the couch to let him do what he needed, sighing a bit she was thinking of him and her together in bed and shook the idea and thought way out of her head.
Once they got to her place she went through her stuff and took out a black dress that was backless and went around her neck to keep it up as she came out looking at him. It was actually a very simple dress nothing glittery or anything on it. "What you think?" It was not very long either about the top of her knees.
She sat down dragging a pair of thick high heeled shoes they were good for dancing in since they were comfortable and form fitting around the ankle smiling a little bit she grinned a little and sighed a little and stood up "okay hot shot lets go" She winked
Another cab and they got out at a club, things was in swing already, Charles took Luna's hand and walked up the stairs with her.
"Charles you old rascal!"
He smiled at the bouncer and shook the huge hand offered,
"Hey Dustin, how's things?"
"Nah good good, where's the guitar?"
Dustin looked Luna up and down,
"Surely you are not going to play her?"
Chales laughed,
"Tonight I'm her to party, this is Luna. My muse and best friend."
"Ah then get inside you two, Corrie will be happy to see you."
"She always is."
Dustin chuckled and Charles led Luna inside, it was busy, but not packed. He led her over to the bar and ordered a bottle of water for himself, then turned to her as they sat down,
"I came here sometimes when the band needed a guitarist, learned a bit about the other trades while here. Seems like I just have an inborn knack to play an instrument once I know how. Of course practice will make me better at it."
He smiled at her,
"I went everywhere, played there in the hope to get noticed, it was only when you came along that my luck changed."
Sipping her beer she listened to him talk and smiled listing to him and when he said it was when she came that her luck changed.
"I am far from a lucky charm Charles you got the job because your damn good, I was never given the chance to ever be anything which was why I stopped trying a year ago and then bumped into you, seeing your dream was like mine but I would not let you stop your passion like I did"
"You know in all honesty what would be a dream come true would be singing one song with you and perform it on stage or have it recorded. But you are the talent I am sure I am nothing that the studio has not heard, I have a new way of singing but its experimental for me it is any way. "
She finished up her beer and was rather glad for it as well, she did not know how everything would turn out. But then this woman came up and she was hugged, Luna hugged her back to be nice.
Sure she had no idea who she was but Charles knew her so really she was content. Nodding to him she grinned.
"I kinda have a little surprise for you to after your performance, I called in a favor since my father knows the owner of this place" She said knowing she would for the first time really exposed what Charles got her to do without him even trying.
Looking at him and smiled "Corrie, dad knows a few people he is rather popular in making friends. Wish I could make friends as easily as he can" She smirked.
Luna smiled at him and grinned "I wouldn't have even mentioned it if we went to another place" She laughed.
And then ran with him through the crowed and got up on stage with him unsure what song they were to do. But when he asked what they got she wondered if he was talking to the DJ or Her, she grinned a bit waiting.
He grabbed two mikes and gave one to her, the current song ended and the Dj's voice came over the system.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a rare treat for you tonight. Charles Streak and Luna!"
The intro started and Charles stood next to Luna as the spotlights highlighted them both,
"Go ahead just leave, can't hold you, you're free
You take all these things, if they mean so much to you
I gave you your dreams, 'cause you meant the world
So did I deserve to be left here hurt?
You think I don't know you're out of control
I ended up finding all of this from my boys
Girl, you're stone cold, you say it ain't so
You already know I'm not attached to material."
With the chorus she joined in with him,
"I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, my love, my love, my love
My love"
Yeah
What did I do but give love to you
I'm just confused as I stand here and look at you
From head to feet, all that's not me
Go 'head, keep the keys, that's not what I need from you
You think that you know (I do), you've made yourself cold (Oh yeah)
How could you believe them over me, I'm your girl
You're out of control (So what?), how could you let go (Oh yeah)
Don't you know I'm not attached to material
[Both:]
I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, my love, my love, my love
I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, my love, my love, my love
[Charles:]
So all this love I give you, take it away, (Unh, uh huh)
[Luna:]
You think material's the reason I came, (Unh, uh huh)
Charles:
If I had nothing would you want me to stay (Unh, uh huh)
[Luna:]
You keep your money, take it all away
I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, my love, my love
I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, my love, my love
I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, my love, my love, my love
Ooh, my love
Ooh, my love
Luna had a lot of fun singing with Charles meant the world to her.
Luna had a lot of fun with him when they did the duet felt nice to be able to do something so nice, she felt like an equal in that moment. But deep down she was afraid even though he said he would not forget, that his manager and those he work for. Making him forget the life he had before, having a hard life made him into who she cared for now. Words stuck in her throat, a kick to the ass and she felt useless. But smiled sitting down.
