You Only Live Once

Chapter 7: I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl

When I finished my hair and makeup, Anthony couldn't keep his eyes off of me.

I smiled at him , and asked when are we starting our date.

" Right now. You'll see."

We walk to the car and he puts a blind fold over my eyes.What is he up to?

"Can you sing for me again, pretty please?" I say.

I can feel him laughing at me , and I feel myself blushing again.

" You just love the sound of my voice don't you? Fine , this time I choose the song, alright?"

I giggle. "Okay, Kiedis. You're the man." He starts rapping/ singing (no one really knows what the fuck the genre of this band really is tbh):

All around the world we can make time. Rompin' and a stompin' cause I'm in my prime. Born in the north and sworn to entertain ya, cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania . I try not to whine but I must warn ya about the girls from California . Alabama baby said hallelujah , good god girl I wish I knew ya. I know I know for sure that life is beautiful around the world ....

I fell asleep during his singing. I just love his voice . I wake up and I hear the car turn off.

" Anthony , are we at the mystery place you were talking about?"

I don't hear anything. That's absurd. I get worried and take the blind fold off. What the hell?!

The band I've loved for so long. In front of my face. Flea ,with a ridiculous hair cut, Chad, John (John still in the group in my world), and beloved Anthony.

I stare at them with eyes wide open. I'm speechless . What is life? Anthony begins to speak but then Flea cuts him off.

" You must be Y/N right? Anthony's been blabbing about you ever since he met you."

I blush at his comment. "Nice to meet you too, Michael."

He looks at me with a You're-a-fucking-stalker look. " Well , don't we have a stalker fan? I'm just kidding , kid."

I nod . John pushes Flea aside and shakes my hand. He says, " Well , hi there beautiful. I can see why he likes you. He also said you play the electric guitar , is that right?"

I speak in a shaky voice, " Uh, yes , that's true , and thanks for the compliment."

Time to meet Chad. Chad on the other hand doesn't seem too excited. His facial expressions consist of tiredness and agitated.

He walks up to me and says, " Uh, I didn't know this was going to happen, but it's good that you're here, I guess. Sorry, I was sleeping  on the airplane and I get cranky when I have to wake up."

I laugh and say, " I feel you man. Every time I go to school I feel like my soul is being ripped out and put back in my body."

His face changes into a generous smile.

I actually made Chad smile. Incredible.

" You're funny. We need more of that in this band , dude. I wouldn't be surprised if you replaced John here,"

I laugh hard, and John doesn't look to pleased.

Anthony clears his throat , then speaks, "Well, lets get going shall we?"

He and the other band members lead me into a building that says "Extreme Indoor Sports"  There are posters of people engaging in paint balling, laser tag, and all sorts of other crap.

The guys look astonished as I do. "Kiedis, this place looks amazing, but what are we gonna do ?"

He looks around as well, admiring . "Well, you'll see."

    Everyone had agreed on laser tagging, so that's what we went with. We split up into pairs , so I went with Anthony.

After 10 mins, Anthony had really gotten into the game. He just kept shooting zombies , and I sucked at it. I mean I had played a couple of zombie games on my PS4 but it wasn't anything close to this.

When the game was finished, we all decided to eat together at this Chinese restaurant in the Bronx.

I know it sounds ghetto but people wouldn't really recognize them there. After we all ate, we said our goodbyes, and me and Anthony chilled out at the hotel he was staying at.

His hotel room was nice. It had a chandelier in the living room and other stuff.

We went to his bed which was comfy as hell. I checked my phone for the time. 5:45 pm. Fuck! My mom is gonna kill me and Anthony

"Uh, Anthony?"

He raises his head, " Yea , Y/N?"

I gotta go I have class tomorrow at 11am .

" Bye Y/N", he blows me a kiss.

Such a charmer.
