After Bella finished her songs, Josh applauded her. For such a small girl, she had a damn good set of pipes, and he always a applauded a great performer when he saw one. As she stepped off stage, he made his way over to her with his own guitar in hand. "That was pretty good, Hobbles. I knew there was a reason that I respected you. Thanks for reminding me." With a smirk, he gave her a pat on the shoulder and took over the empty spot on stage.

"Good evening, Seattle. How are you all doing? I'm Josh Williams...you may recognize me from adult films..." he paused and then laughed. "Just kidding, I work upstairs. Anyway, this is my first time up on this stage. It's kind of exciting. I'll only performing one song for you guys. It's called 'Gives You Hell.' I'm pretty sure that if you listen to the lyrics, you can guess what its about. So...here it is."

With another smile, he stopped talking and began to play.

She stuck her tongue out at him as he complimented her and used that nickname once again. It was fun to just joke around with him all the time. So she stood off to the side to watch him perform, she hadn't had a chance to listen to him yet. The song was catchy and great, she would definitely have it stuck in her head for quite a while. She grinned at him when he came off stage, "Okay, you suck a lot. That song is going to be in my head."

[another_slacker]

He rolled his eyes at her. "I hope it gives you hell," he said with a chuckle. "Besides, you like the idea of me being in your...head." He stuck his tongue out at her, before he started to put his guitar back its case.

She reached over to smack him upside the head playfully, "I hope that gives you hell. So who'd you write that song about? If you say a redheaded boss I might have to dock your pay."

Mason clapped along with the crowd. He'd forgotten just how talented she was. He did not recall the bitterness though. When she walked off stage he caught her and smiled, stepping in front of her. "Hey," he said with a half grin.

[spunky_bella]

Bella looked up at Mason and smiled, "Oh hey there, doesn't stalking involve not talking to the person you watch?"

[maceys_colt]

"I decided to go for a more direct approach," he said, that lazy smile crossing his face. The only thing he shared with his brother. "Thought maybe I'd buy you a cup of coffee, or better yet maybe take you out for a beer, possibly impress you with my knowledge of obscure music of some kind and then ask you if you wanted to go out to dinner on Saturday. Or I can just skip it all if you want."

[spunky_bella]

Oh wow, he just listed off a ton of dates between the two of them and she started to laugh a little bit, running a hand through her hair, "Whoa slow down there, dear. First, you can buy me some coffee here if you really want. Second, beer and trying to wow me with music knowledge would be fun. Lastly, let's see how much you wow me before we talk about a date on Saturday."

Anne got closer to Bella, already holding a glass of wine. "You know you're amazing, right?" She said, smiling sweetly. The brunette always got impressed by Bella's performances, no matter how many times she had heard her sing or play. She was sure her friend would hit it big one day. "I did think about bringing a poster written "BELLA I LOVE YOU" or something like that, but then I remembered you'd probably die of embarassement, so I changed my mind." Anne teased, laughing softly.

[spunky_bella]

"I'm really glad you didn't go with that, I would have died," She laughed as she ran a hand through her hair. She wasn't used to having so many fans of her music, so it was fun to talk to them all after the show. But the idea of someone holding up a sign declaring their love for her always made her feel weird, like that couldn't possibly ever happen to her.

[xannexporterx]

Bella was a sweetheart - it was like she couldn't imagine herself going up, which was adorable. Anne smiled broadly. "Yep, that's what I imagined. But I still haven't given up the idea of a shirt that says "I'm in love with the DJ" or "I'm in love with the singer". I remember a friend of mine used to do that to embarrass her friends. It worked quite well." She teased. "Oh, by the way, can I get you something, dear?"

[spunky_bella]

"Oh god, that would be terribly embarrassing," She admitted with a blush, extremely glad that no one had a t-shirt like that to wear around her. She wouldn't know what she would do, "And I'm fine. I've got my bottle of water. Thank you though dear. How have you been?"

Iona had been sitting in the back for some time now, listening to some of the music. She had to say she really did like Bella's music. It made you want to get up and dance, throw your body around. And it was catchy. When Bella was done, and a guy named Josh, Iona got up and slowly moved towards the front towards the small stage

[spunky_bella]

Bella was so glad that Iona had finally agreed to perform at one of their nights. She hadn't actually listened to much of her music, so she was excited to see her just as a performer. She crossed her heart promising not to go after her with her crutches and watched with a smile on her face. Performing was always great for musicians and Iona wasn't an exception to that rule. Once the girl got off the stage Bella was clapping loudly, "You did fantastic!"

[im_wilde]

"Thanks a bunch," Iona said to Bella with a smile. "It felt great," she admitted. "You did great as well. Your hard-rock punk music," she said with a laugh. Iona liked all kinds of music, though with her voice, the soulful, jazzy type stuff suited her better.

[spunky_bella]

"Hard rock, haha more like pop punk half the time," She chuckled. It was nice to be around someone who definitely had a different style from her own music, "I loved your song though, very soulful. And I knew it would feel great, that's why I harassed you so much."

[hayden_nicole]

Hayden had decided to come out tonight and go to Torrent, she knew that Open Mic Night was starting again, and that the record store was open too. Perhaps she’d find some new music that would be wonderful. She quietly made her way into the establishment, and then found a seat at the table. Once she noticed the red head, Bella, was finished she hopped up and whistled loudly through her fingers and then clapped loudly. She looked for Bella because she wanted to tell her how great of a job she had done.

“Hey,” she grinned, when she finally saw her. “You did wonderful tonight!”

[spunky_bella]

Bella was surprised when another person came up to talk to her, she hadn't been this popular in quite a while and it was kind of fun. She turned to the new girl and smiled, "Thank you very much. I don't believe I've met you before. I'm Bella, obviously, it's nice to meet you."

[hayden_nicole]

"Well that would be because I've never been here before," Hayden admitted, looking at her. "Bella, it's so nice to meet you, I'm Hayden..." she grinned, as she put a hand out to shake it. "I loved your second piece it was brilliant."

[spunky_bella]

"Well, then I'm very glad you stumbled into our humble little open mic night," She chuckled and took the girl's hand, giving it a firm shake, "It's really great to hear that from you, Hayden. Everyone really seems to be digging that piece tonight."
