You Only Live Once

Chapter 3: Go ask the dust for any answers

This was incredible. I have loved this man for so long . I couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes.

Anthony Kiedis casually sitting in a cafe.

I decide that I'm gonna go make conversation as this is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I drop a fork purposely next to where he is currently sitting. He looks up and looks at me with a caring smile. I get up from my booth and walk over to get my fork.

" You're Anthony from the Red Hot Chili Peppers."

He nods while chuckling, " Yep that's me alright." He beams an attractive smile to me that would melt anyone's insides.

I continue the conversation, not caring how much I'm blushing and shaking because at this moment, I'm with my idol and dream guy.

I try not to quiver my voice " So are you here on tour?" 

" No, I was just here on vacation from Cali."  Noticing my nervousness he asks, " So, what's your name?"

"My name's y/n, but you can call me y/n/n", I answer nervously.

He motions for me to take a seat on the bar stool next to him to continue the conversation.

"That's a really nice name y/n. Are you from here? New York I mean."

I nod, " Yep, born and raised. I'm from Queens actually."

Staring at me intently, "Aha, the most underrated borough, I've been there a few times, it has a cool vibe."

After having eaten with Anthony and making great conversation, he pulls out a pen from his tote bag and writes on a napkin.

"Due to the fact that you're literally the first fan that hasn't tried to maul me like a bear, I'd love to keep talking to you. Here's my number." I stare at him dazed. This last for about 1 minute before I come down to earth.

I question him, "Wait what, hold on. You want to continue...speaking to moi?", I point towards myself.

"Yeah why not?," he gives me a Cheshire grin.

I take the napkin enthusiastically from him ,"Okay, Mr. Kiedis."

Before I left the cafe , I obviously had to get a photo with him and then said my goodbyes to him because I had to get home and he had to prepare for a performance in MSG,

The handsome and talented Anthony Kiedis gave me his number and had a full on conversation with me. What the hell happened just now?

  By the time I got to my apartment it was still pretty early. Though I had some missed messages from my mother.

I looked over my work for school and began on my French project.

Having my own apartment is a blessing and curse . Blessing, cause I can do whatever the hell I want . Curse, because rent is high.

After finishing some of my work, I took a long shower. Stepping into the shower, I thought about my encounter with Anthony.

His smile, his hair. His voice. Oh God, how I love his voice.

I shook him out of my head before I got any "weird" thoughts. Although he was a rockstar, he's still a stranger to me.

After 5 minutes, I hopped out the shower, I get dressed and decide to call my mother. 

I call her and it give out 2 rings until she finally picks up. "Hello y/n what's up?" she asks sounding tired as hell. 

"Are you okay Mother?" 

"Yeah, I'm just getting back home from work." I hesitantly tell her the news of my encounter with Anthony.

"Um, so I went to Hard Rock cafe in time square an-", she cuts me off.

"Wait you went to Hardrock without me?!"  "That's not the point! I met someone", I respond quickly before she cuts me off again.

"Huh? Who did you meet? Was it a cute guy?" 

"Yeah, it was a handsome man, actually." I pause for a moment and then tell her. 

"I met Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers!" I squeal so loudly that i think my neighbors heard it through the thin walls of this apartment.

Mom gasps ," No way y/n! Are you sure it was him and not an impersonator?" "Yes, I'm very sure because I ate with him and had a whole conversation ."

She skeptically asks, " Are you lying to me y/n?"

"No, I am not lying. I even took a selfie with him to prove it. I'm sending it to you right now."

I go into my phone's photo gallery and send the picture to her. I can hear her audibly gasp meaning she saw it.

"Oh y/n that's so insane! How do you feel?" 

"Um, just trying to process it still. I mean, you know I've been a fan for years and years."

"Wow, I'm happy for you. Sorry I gotta let you go, I just pulled up to the house now, I'll talk to you later honey, love you bye."

"Okay, bye mom."

   After hanging up the phone call, I continued working on my project. 

Having completing my work, I decided to turn on the tv to watch a movie. What a day I had.
