Love's Like A Tidal Wave
May These Noises Startle You
Vic’s P.O.V.
“Go over there. She didn’t seem to know who I was or you. She said you can come to talk to her since you’ve been staring at her.” Mike said as he walked back to the table and sat down next to me.
“Alright.” I finish the last sip of my drink and start to walk over. She’s talking to someone when I walk up.
“Hey.” I say as I sit down next to her. She turns around to face me.
“Hey.” She smiles and damn her smile is perfect. It’s bright and wide. It’s beautiful. Her eyes are really what caught my attention though. They’re like this deep blue color. I’ve never seen someone with eyes like that. She has dark brown hair so it kind of fits.
“Can we talk outside? It’s kind of loud in here and I don’t wanna scream in your face.” I laugh a little.
“Um…yeah sure.” She says and turns to her friend and tells her she’ll back.
“Don’t die or do anything stupid. Oh! Condoms are good for the soul!” Her friend said. She turned around and gave her a dirty look. She told me just to ignore her.
We go outside and go to the back. There’s a sidewalk that runs all the way around the club and she doesn’t take a second thought about sitting on the sidewalk
“You just sit on the ground?” I ask sounding more confused than I tried to come off.
“Yeah. I’d rather sit than stand. I dunno. I’m weird.” She doesn’t look up at me so I decide to follow her lead and sit next to her.
“Guess I’m gonna be weird too.” I smirked. She started laughing. She has the cutest laugh I’ve ever heard.
“So…what do you for a job?” I asked even know though I already know.
“I work at the theater down the street. My uncle owns the place and gave my sister, brother and I jobs. The people you saw in there next to me were my brother and sister.”
“Oh yeah I gotcha. Do you like working at the theater?”
“Yeah. It’s pretty cool honestly. I don’t pay that much attention to the bands and artists most the time though. I’m too busy.”
“Well that sucks. Working in a theater and not being able to really watch.” She knows who I am. I know she does.
“What do you do?” she asked in more a confident way. Maybe she doesn’t? Shit. What do I say. I’m not going to tell her. I don’t feel like having someone else use me. Ugh.
“ummm….I just started to work at the tattoo place down the road a few weeks ago.” Well that was stupid for me to say. She clearly lives here. She’s gonna know I’m lying.
“Really? I got my tattoo there a few weeks ago.” She gave me a suspicious look. Fuck! The odds of her getting a tattoo during that same time were like 1 in a million.
“Oh, well I do all the paper work and stuff so no one really sees me. But what did you get done?” Hopefully she’ll stay on that topic for awhile.
“I got hakuna mata down my side. I know…everyone says it’s lame because it’s a Disney movie quote.” She looked at me then looked away.
“No. I don’t think it’s lame.” I laughed a little. “Can I see it?” I think it’s working.
“Um okay.” She turned around and pulled her shit up on her right side. It was an awesome tattoo. The letters looked flawless and it had these flowers right before and after the quote. It’s colored but it’s hard to see in this light.
“It’s cool. Why’d you get it? Just a really big Disney fan or something.”
“Um sorta.” She smiled but only in the corner of her mouth. “I have really bad anxiety and stuff. I worry too much so it’s kind of just irony and a reminder to stop worrying so much about everything.”
“What’s there for a pretty girl like you to be worrying about?” I smiled big at her as her cheeks turned red.
“A lot of stuff. I don’t know. You probably won’t get it. No one really does.” Her smile fades.
“Maybe I will though. You don’t to tell me or anything though.” I looked at the ground.
“Thank you though. For saying I was pretty.” Her smile was back along with her red cheeks.
“I’m not gonna lie, you’re beautiful.” I smile back staring right in her eyes. I wanna kiss her more than anything.
“You’re not so bad yourself.” She says as I can feel my face heating up.
“Well thank you.” Just as she was about to say something, her brother came around to find her. He glared at her and gave her the signal to come over to him. “Is he okay?”
“Yeah…just Konnor being konnor.” She gets up and dusts off the back of her pants. She starts to walk away but I grab her wrist before she has the time to leave.
“I never got your name.” I half smile.
“Oh right.” She laughs. “Kaylee. You?”
“Vic. But I’d maybe wanna see you again. Can I call you?” That probably sounded so cheesy. I’m so stupid.
“Ye-“
“Kaylee! Get your ass over here before I come over there and make you.” Her brother yelled still standing at the end of the sidewalk.
“Ugh. Yeah you can.” I gave her my phone and she put her name and number in it. I gave her hug and she walked away. Whoever said sparks don’t exist is crazy. I got sparks from just hugging her. Kaylee. I check my phone and start to call her less than a minute after she walked away.
Kaylee’s P.O.V.
“I don’t know what the hell you were doing but it’s not happ-“
“Never thought you’d stay that’s okay!” My ringtone cut Konnor off thank God.
“Hello?”
“Kaylee?”
“Yeah…who’s this?”
“It’s Vic. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t give me the wrong number.” I could tell he was smiling on the other end.
“Nope. It’s me.” I laughed.
“Alright well, I’ll let you go and call or text you later or something.” He was still smiling.
“Okay.”
“Goodnight.” He said. He sounded disappointed that we weren’t going to talk any longer.
“Goodnight.” I hung up the phone and Konnor’s rant continued.
He was ranting about last time and how Vic’s too old for me and it’s gonna be horrible in the end. He’s not gonna listen to it. Blah blah blah. Same old shit. We get home in less than 20 minutes. Kelsie, Konnor and I still live at home since we don’t have the money for an apartment or anything. Kelsie and I share a room so I know she’s going to be begging me for all the details. I explained everything to her and she was actually interested.
“Wait. So you didn’t tell him that you knew he was Vic Fuetnes from Pierce The Veil? You let him continue with this whole tattoo job thing?” She asked with this weird laugh.
“Yeah…I was afraid he’d just leave if he knew I knew who he was. So I just let him tell his story.” I laughed a lot harder than I probably should have.
“You haven’t stopped smiling since you’ve talked to him.” Just as Kelsie finished her sentence my phone beeped from a text. “It’s from him.”
“How do you know?” I protested.
“Your smile just moved literally from ear to ear.”
“Shit.” We started laughing at the same time.
“Soooo what’s he want?” She interrogated me
“He wants to hang out tomorrow…well today I guess.” I squeled. It was after 3AM and this must have been really bugging him because right after I replied with sure he said he’d call when he woke up.It’s not too long after before Kelsie and I both fall asleep.
Vic’s P.O.V.
I walk into the bar and I can see the guys staring at me. I can tell that it’ll be a long night with them teasing me.
“Hey so what’d you guys do?” Mike nudged my arm as I sat down.
“Nothing.” I blushed.
“Yeah okay.” Everyone laughed not believing me.
We get back on the bus to go to the hotel and I guess I haven’t stopped smiling since I talked to Kaylee. I wasn’t really engaging in conversations either. I was too focused on her. I can’t stop thinking about her. Her eyes, her hair, her voice, her everything. I know it’s crazy. I don’t even know her last name.
“Vic?? Viccccccc? VICTOR!!!” Jaime yelled
“Huh?” I snap out of my thinking
“Just ask her on a date already damn. We’ve been trying to talk to you. We’re at the hotel.”
“Oh..yeah sorry.”I blushed and got off the bus.
“You ask her out or what?” Mike asks after everyone has fallen asleep.
“No…”
“You didn’t even get her number.” He shook his head in disappointment.
“Yeah I did.”
“Ask her out seriously. Do it.”
“It’s 3AM. She’s probably asleep.”
“Then she’ll wake up to a pretty awesome text won’t she? Okay we have reached an agreement.”
I text Kaylee and she replies within seconds. I think she likes me a little more than she was letting off. At least I hope she does. I can feel myself turning red as I ask her to hang out later today. It wasn’t even 30 seconds before she replied with “Yeah sure. Sounds fun.” I end the conversation after since I’m pretty tired. I don’t know how I’ll be able to sleep though. I can’t wait to see her again.
“She said yes didn’t she?”
“Go over there. She didn’t seem to know who I was or you. She said you can come to talk to her since you’ve been staring at her.” Mike said as he walked back to the table and sat down next to me.
“Alright.” I finish the last sip of my drink and start to walk over. She’s talking to someone when I walk up.
