Thread: You're Like a Song Stuck in My Head [FxF] (Clearsight X Javorcek)

Out of all of her band mates, Tessa admired Alex the most. It wasn't just because the other woman was charming and their leader of sorts, but so many reasons. She wasn't afraid, and even if she was she didn't let it stop her, which was a huge problem for Tessa. She was also a singer, not that anyone would know, and it was one of the reasons she wrote such terrific songs, because she always imagined it from the singer's point of view. Tessa didn't have the courage to sing in front of others though, even these three idiots, her best friends. Maybe it was sad to say her work friends were her best friends, but they were, their profession fostered close bonds and luckily they all liked one another. Alex was definitely the centerpiece for their group, it was undeniable, she kept them going, she was amazing. Tessa's admiration had been powerful early on, almost from the first day she had met Alex. Part of it was how Alex was everything she wasn't. Meeting her, talking to her, and especially listening to her play and sing had sold Tessa on the band, no hesitation. Talent wasn't everything, they all still had to work hard, but with Alex's charismatic self at the helm they were starting to make it in the professional music scene. Enough so that this next tour was a pretty exciting one, they had some really spectacular locations to look forward to! It also helped that they had all been together long enough to build up a relationship and work out the kinks, it made performances go a lot more smoothly. Whether I make more than him shouldn't matter if he doesn't at least try to pay. I mean, I probably would have paid anyways, because letting someone pay when you're not interested in another date seems rather low, but he didn't offer! She huffed, being obviously over-dramatic and grinning over at Alex, then seeming to get distracted for a moment before looking over at Alex, not speaking the odd thought that crossed her mind about how she would pay for Alex if they ever went on a date. She chalked it up to random before willingly switching topics. Yeah, I know it's rough and probably a bit strange compared to my usual... She seemed distracted again randomly, huffing a bit as she tried to pin down the inspiration behind the lyrics she had been writing. It was sappy, but in a confusing way. Tessa thought Alex would understand it better than she would, sometimes her lyrics hit Alex or one of the guys in a different way than they hit her, or she meant them to be perceived. It was good to get another opinion. And don't act like we ever need a song to take a breather. Half the time I feel like you could get on stage and just stand there with a mic in your hand and the female fans would melt. They had work to do, so Tessa didn't keep poking at Alex and her crazy female fan-base, but it didn't make it any less true. Alex had a shit ton of groupies, more than the rest of the band combined, and each one of them was ready to jump on stage and rip her clothes off at a seconds notice. It was why she consistently didn't come back to the room, though there had been that one time she had and Tessa had to hear the entire thing. She wanted to sneak out but by the time she had considered that option the fact that it would become clear she hadn't been asleep and had listened the entire time was too much, she couldn't move. Maybe that was a little bit of an exaggeration, she didn't sleep around every night, she would be exhausted a week into the tour, but Alex didn't hide her desires either, at least Tessa couldn't imagine having so many one-night stands. --- One-night stands weren't just for Alex, Derek enjoyed picking up random women, although his success was minimal compared to Alex. Hmph... I could be reading... Tessa mumbled, looking around the bar and not wanting anything to do with the other people, and barely being in the mood to drink. There were real reasons, reading definitely wasn't one of them. For one, the piece she had written and showed Alex needed to be worked on, and she liked using her piano for that, which was at home because she didn't tell anyone that she played. Second, she fucking hated watching people flirt, and it was going to piss her off when Alex and some girl hit it off and her role in the night came to an abrupt end. That was the only reason in her mind as to why she could possibly be so cranky for no reason, because she didn't want to be the odd one out. For now Alex was paying attention to her, who knew how long that would last. You better not run off with some floozy and leave me here drinking alone Alex. Tessa shot her friend a threatening glare, coming off more adorable than anything. Whatever was causing her funk she refused to let it completely ruin the night, as long as Alex didn't actually leave her they could have fun. Some alcohol that would eventually make for some sound slumber time, maybe a game of pool, and then dancing. Now, the drinking would absolutely happen, Tessa could definitely cheer up after a few beverages. The pool, Alex would win regardless, because she was good and Tessa was... Not. Then dancing, because Tessa didn't feel like being groped by strangers and Alex was the perfect shield, no guy would dare come feel her up if she was with Alex, and if they did it would be impressive bravery, or stupidity. If they played pool first she could even use that as her leverage to make Alex dance with her, but even that wouldn't be until a few more drinks had flooded her system... Despite being a drummer in a popular band, Tessa had a slight thing about being in front of a bunch of people, and dancing in a bar was enough to warrant a few drinks. She could get over herself when it counted, like for a show, but why not take the easy route on their night away from performing.
