Scoob watched as the waiter took their leftover food to pack it into to-go containers for them. Slim hadn't stopped smiling once tonight and that was all that Scoob wanted.

he didn't know if she could tell, but he'd been nervous the whole night. he'd been planning this date for about a week now because they'd never been on one.

he made sure that in some way, music was incorporated on their date because a majority of their time together was spent listening to music.

"you gone go up there?" he asked her.

"huh? no," she declined immediately. "you know ion sing for people."

"you not singin fa them," Scoob replied, grabbing her hand and kissing the inside of her wrist. "you singin fa me."

"you deadass?"

"yeah, mama, and you up next," he smirked. "youn gotta go if youn wanna, but i already picked the song."

Slim looked over at the man on the small stage singing an Ed Sheeran song and then back to Scoob before sighing.

when the stranger finally stepped down from the stage, Slim looked back to Scoob nervously and squeezed his hand. standing up, she adjusted her dress and took cautious steps towards the stage.

Scoob smiled watching as she got comfy on the stool provided and gave a nervous smile to the people in the area.

"hey y'all," she said softly and cleared her throat. "i'm Slim."

the instrumental of All I Want by Brent Faiyaz played in the background and Slim took a deep breath before she started singing.

Scoob gazed at Slim singing with her eyes shut tight; he could tell she was nervous, but that didn't affect voice at all. he could listen to her sing for ever and never get tired of hearing her—it was one of his favorite things about her.

every time he heard her sing, it felt like it was the first time all over again.

she opened her eyes slowly and looked Scoob the eyes, singing directly to him now, "love's a crazy thing, can't believe we're here again. lovers or friends? that all depends on you, shorty. love you so deep. and baby, did I forget to mention? that you got all my attention, baby. can we kick it, baby?"
