~ the next day/ at y/n's work place~

Luckily it's towards the end of my shift anyways! Today has been quite busy and we had a lot to do! I'm looking forward to clock out and then spend the day again with Will and on top of that, meet his band mates! This is still crazy to me to think that I, ME, hangs out with a band I've met at a festival!
I can't quite wrap my head around it but yet this is the reality of things. I'm blessed to have this opportunity!

I'm still in my thoughts when I see someone snap their fingers at me- it's James!
I quickly shake my head and look at him as he's looking at me.
„y/n are you there?", he says while waving his hand in front of me.
„Oh uh- yeah I'm here! Sorry I zoned out", I told James as I greeted.
„That's not very professional of you is it?", James giggles as I roll my eyes.
„Whatever. Anyways, the usual for you?", I ask him to which he nods. „alright, coming right up. How are you man?"
„ I'm doing good thank you! How are you y/n?", he asks me.
„I'm doing really great thank you! Also James, I'll meet the lovejoy boys today!", I happily announce to him!
„You will what? You haven't met them yet?", he says surprised.
„No i haven't and yes I will! Will has asked me to hang after work which will end in about 30 mins", I smile as I give James his coffee.

„You and Will are getting really close huh? I hear you guys spend lots of time together lately", James smirks at me, sipping from his coffee.
„I mean yeah we're friends, obviously!", I roll my eyes, laughing.
„ I can tell. I hope you'll have fun meeting the rest of the boys! They're honestly great!", James continues to say.
„Thank you, I will", I smile at him.

We continue to talk for a bit until my shift ends. James remains for a bit longer so I tell him goodbye and I clock out. Telling also my coworkers goodbye and off I go.
5 mins later, Will comes around, picking me up from work. We fall into a hug.
„Hey y/n! How are you?", Will asks me with a smile.
„I'm good thank you! I'm fantastic! How are you?", I ask back with a smile.
„Great, thank you!", he replies. „Let's go, the boys are waiting already".

We begin to chat while we walk to the studio. Will asking me how my day went and I ask him how his day went so far.
„You know y/n, now that you're here, my day is going better", he says winking at me.
„Oh stop it!", I blush. „My day is going better now too, now that you're here".
„your day HAS to go well with me right?", he says sarcastically to which I laugh.
„Believe me it does", I jokingly poke him.

We arrive at the studio and once inside, I got greeted by his band mates. They're all sitting on a sofa, chatting with each other.
With a shy smile, I say greet them. They turn around and greet me back!
„Guys, this is y/n! Y/n, these are my band mates:  Joe Goldsmith, Mark Boardman and Ash Kabosu. Joe is our 2nd guitarist with the marvelous mom guitar, mark is our magnificent drummer and Ash is our wonderful bassist!", Will introduces them to me.
„ Heey y/n", everyone is greeting me.
„Hey guys", I say back, waving at them.
„It's so nice to meet you y/n. We have heard a lot about you already", mark says as he shakes my hand.
„Oh do you?", I giggle.
„yep! Well, Will always fills us in about you", he says with a smile.
„Hii it's nice to meet you! Weren't you the girl at the festival that Will spoke to?", Joe asks me to which I nod.
„Now things make sense", he laughs.
„Nice to meet you y/n!", ash says, shaking my hand.

After introducing myself to everyone, we've had a little conversation about things and even talking about the festival of when I met with Will after the show. I explained them how we just started a conversation and one thing led to another and now I'm here. They seemed intrigued of my story. Also  telling other stories of how they formed and when they started out and me complimenting them of how talented they are. They were just in awe.

I could watch them jam out/ practice for a while, hearing what kind of songs they have been working on and have been practicing for future live shows so they sound even better.
I was so fascinated by everyone's work and just listening to them jamming out together.
„You guys are doing great!", I yell out to them, to which they all smile.
They continue to play music and I'm vibing along, also singing along too.

A few hours later of jamming and playing music, the boys and I got hungry so we decided to go to a Pizza Hut together which is not far from here.
we've been chatting on the way to Pizza Hut and I get along with the boys quite well. Joe and I kept cracking jokes about the things we saw as we walk to Pizza Hut. Everyone else just kept rolling their eyes or laughing along with us.

We finally arrived at Pizza Hut and placed out orders. Ash insisted to play for all of us so we thanked him for it.
We sit down and wait for our pizza.
„Well y/n, tell us a little bit about yourself", mark asks me to which I gladly answered.
„Well, I'm 24 years old. I'm working in a coffeeshop so I'm a barista. When I'm not at work, I do a bit of painting and reading, I listen to a lot of music and yeah, I don't really paint much at the moment or read since i haven't had the time to do it but I like doing these", I tell them with a smile.
„Interesting! What kind of music you're listening to?", Joe asks me.
„I'm a huge arctic monkeys fan, I love tame impala, big The front bottoms lover, I love Queen and I go a bit heavier with Evanescence and stuff. I also listen to other things but these are my main bands", I say.
„Damn girl you have a sick taste", ash points out.
„thank you!", I giggle!

The pizzas come around and we start to eat. Thank god- I have been pretty hungry now.
During our meals, none of us really talks so we fall silent but it's a good kind of silent. It's not too awkward so I can enjoy sitting with them in silence.
Some words will be exchanged but I guess we all have been pretty hungry at this point.
Once everyone has sort of finished, the boys started to talk about different topics and things that they felt like sharing. I just listened to them ramble, drinking my water.
I enjoy being around them and so far, their vibe is really fantastic! They're all such goofballs.

Some time has passed now and we decided to pay and head back to the studio, where we hang out for a bit more, chatting away, cracking jokes or them trying to explain to me the different types of instruments lying around and how they work.
I've also asked mark how paying the drums work since I have no knowledge on how you play any sort of instruments.
Mark has greatly shown me and it seems complicated- which it may be when you don't know what you're doing but I think it's easy when you know what you're doing.

„Hey y/n? I've been meaning to ask you but me and the boys will have a show tomorrow here in Brighton and I was wondering if you'd like to come see us?", Will asks me with a smile.
„Oh my god really? I'd absolutely love to", I reply happily!
„Aww great! I'll put you on a guest list so can join us also backstage", he says.
„wow thats so thoughtful of you - thank you! I can't wait to see you guys perform tomorrow", I say, clapping my hands together. „at what time do I have to be there?"
„Well the show starts at 7pm and for the first 2 hours we'll have our support acts and then at 9pm it's our turn so be there before 7", Will says to which I nod.
„I'll be there", I confirm!

~10PM~

after a bit more band practice and discussing about tomorrow's show, the band, me and Will exit the studio and Will insisted of walking me home. Even tho I have assured him that he doesn't need to always guide me home, he does it anyways.
We say goodbye to the rest of the band before me and Will walk towards my house. It is quite late already and I'm starting to get really tired.
Will and I chatted on the way when he suddenly put his arm gently around me.
I was shocked to say the least but I didn't say anything since i've enjoyed him doing it. I just smiled at him and he smiled at me back.

Once we reached my house, we hugged goodbye.
„I'll see you tomorrow then y/n! I'm excited to see you there", Will says as he backs up from the hug.
„I'm excited too Will. I've never been backstage at a show before", I smile at him too.
Will and I remained looking at each other for what felt like ages. God his eyes are so beautiful... and so charming!
We wouldn't break the eye contact until Will eventually broke it, realizing that he just looked me deep in the eyes for a good 3 mins.
„I'll see you y/n", he repeats himself, smiling at me.
„See you Will", I smile at him back before he backs up and leaves.
I wave at him one last time before going inside too, taking my shoes off.
HAVE WE JUST MADE EYE CONTACT FOR 3 MINS AND DIDNT BREAK IT??

After doing my usual night routine, I go to bed but I can't stop thinking about locking eyes with Will for a good 3 mins. My heart starts pounding again just thinking about it. And he has the most gorgeous eyes my eyes have ever seen...
