Between the Lines

CHAPTER II

"Is it strange that you asked me to take you away knowing that we don't know each other?" The girl asked Chloe as they get off her car, stopping in a what seemed to be an abandoned building.

Chloe has been thinking about it too the whole ride, but she wouldn't be able to hold it anymore if she would leave her to be with Tom. Not tonight. Chloe smiled softly at the other girl, "Well, you are not going to kill me here, are you?" She joked.

The girl smirked at Chloe and walked towards the old building. "Well, yeah. Cause I'm not a murderer and to take note, that guy earlier clearly saw me with you. Oh, would I be charged for kidnapping?" she asked, mocking Chloe.

Chloe shook her head, a small smile still visible on her face. "It would be too dumb of him." She whispered as she set her eyes down. "Knowing that I voluntarily came with you." She added.

The other girl only nodded, not wanting to push any further from the conversation. She then headed towards the entrance of the building, before she stopped and turned back to Chloe. "You coming or just gonna stand there?" she asked.

Chloe looked back at her and slowly walked.

"I'll get you a sit, if you want to go, you can go ahead. I have a gig." The girl told Chloe. Chloe once again looked at her in amusement. Silently, she is just glad that she did not came with a drug dealer or some sort of a bad guy. Instead, she sings.

It was the only time that Chloe noticed the dark aura of the girl. From her black over black outfit, her dark chocolate hair, her dark eye make up that just seemed to emphasize those grayish-blue eyes that the girl possesses.

Her whole aura speaks badass.

And to say that Chloe was at awe would definitely be a dumb statement.

They entered the building and it somehow turned out to be a low-key bar. There wasn't a lot people inside, but there was quite enough to make a different ambiance. Maybe it would help Chloe clear her mind for a while.

She stood in the entrance as she waits for the alt-girl whom until now, Chloe has no idea what her name was. She should really thank her for being kind enough to look after her tonight. Not to mention that it was their first meeting.

It didn't take the other girl too long to come back. She motioned for Chloe to follow her inside. Then, she led Chloe to the second floor of the bar, finding her a decent seat. A VIP seat to be exact, she settled Chloe on the near corner of the bar, but it definitely has the best angle to watch the performance that would be held on the stage below.

"Would you be fine being alone?" The girl asked Chloe. She wasn't the best person to show any other expression other than a stoic one and a sarcastic smile, but she was trying her best to look generous towards the lady.

Trying to impress wasn't her thing. Really.

Chloe settled in her seat and nodded at her. "Thank you. I will be just fine." She assured her.

She looked at Chloe as if she was convincing herself that it is okay to leave her for a while. Because she really must go, so she nodded in agreement.

"My friend will come here, to check out on you. Just tell her everything you need. I'll head back once we're done." she told Chloe as she pointed out to another brunette girl, who looks younger while wearing a barista uniform. The girl waved at them.
