Laura

Chapter 1

"Go, Kurt!" I shouted hard as I listen and enjoy the performance of the well-known band ION, and Kurt was the known lead vocalist of the said band.

"Hey! You are a fan of that jerk, huh?" a girl beside me suddenly said.

"Well, he is not a jerk. He is a stunning hottie, and an angel came from up above," I said, smiling widely.

"An angel? Maybe a demon who creates a piece of music to catch every victim that he wanted." As the girl continues to bluff, I don't care at all.

I waved the banner I am holding as the beat of the song shoots my heart. I am well aware that the band does have thousands of haters, and I believed that the news about them is a hoax. I already knew that ION's antagonists were spreading that news out. They are just making issues to turn down the group holding the #1 ranking in the music industry.

The music change into rock, and I can't resist loving them even more.

Every heartbeat that I make

Keeps calling out your name

Keeps hunting you.

Keeps hunting you.

I was stunned when Kurt suddenly points out my direction. I looked to my sides, but it seems that he was really into me, so I pointed myself, and Kurt's blink melts my heart into mixed emotions. It feels like heaven. I can't deny the fact that butterflies in my stomach start to dance out of excitement. I screamed more out of my lungs as if it was my last day.

"I love you, Riley!" I glanced on my side when I heard a familiar voice and found my best friend waving her banner for her little drummer boy, Riley.

"Louise?"

"OMG! Laura, you're here too!"

We are both shouting to hear each other's voices.

"Of course, I can't surpass this kind of event. I've been waiting and dreaming of this," I explained.

"Me too. I love how my lovey-dovey Riley shakes his head while playing his drums."

We are both startled when Kurt suddenly jumps off the stage and goes near us. I started to feel all the amazement when Kurt held my hand leading onto the stage. I can't deny the fact that I feel embarrassed and nervous about what was happening right now. At the same time, it was full of fun. Looking at the hundred thousand people looking at us, I know now how it feels to be beside the man of my dreams while everyone was watching you and handling all the jealousy. I felt the chill when Kurt gives me a quick kiss on my left cheek, and the whole crowd started to shout out loud.

It was almost midnight when ION ended the concert. Louise and I can't explain the fun and enjoyment that we two have been. For us, it was the best night concert we have attended so far.

"She was so lucky to be kissed by Kurt. I am jealous."

"Yeah! I hope someday. I will experience that too."

"Well, in your dreams."

"Someday, it will happen. You'll see."

I glanced at Louise as we heard the two girls teasing each other while hoping for a dream come true.

"You are so lucky, Laura. Well, aside from being lucky, you already have the looks, the curve, and the brain. You are way too perfect, but the height is the disadvantage," Louise laughed and hugged me afterward.

"I am not that pretty, just as you said. If I am, why am I still single? Besides, no one tries to date me," I said, opposing.

"So, wouldn't you mind if I date you?"

Louise was startled when they heard someone speaking from their behind.

Louise and I started to feel the excitement when Kurt goes near me. As in, did he ask me out on a date?

"K-Kurt?" I feel embarrassed when Kurt holds my hand once more.

"Let me introduce myself formally. Hi, I'm Kurt Cruise." He smiled widely and shook his hand, holding my hand.

"I-I am Laura." I don't know how to express my feelings towards Kurt now that he is an inch away from me. I was like flying up in the sky or lying gently on the clouds.

"Such a lovely name."

"Yeah! She is lovely." Louise teases.

"Louise..." I felt awkward and shy at the moment. I never imagined that Kurt would approach me. I thought that my dream would end on the stage and never imagined for more but look what I get now, an idol right in front of my eyes.

"You can date her anytime." I can't help but pinch my best friend's waist. I don't know how to cover up my face now that it is already turning red.

"So, your friend already agreed. Can I bring you home?"

"Oh! I forgot I have somewhere else to go. You take good care of her, Kurt. See you!" Louise quickly runs out of the scene. I don't know how I would feel. Did my friend push her to this hottie holding my hand?

"Don't mind her. She's always like that." I said.

I thought we would be heading home, but he asked me for a cup of coffee. Who am I to reject his invitation? It is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for me to disapprove. All other girls wished for something like this, and I am so lucky to be the one. I know it's already late night, but I want to treasure this night that might not be going to happen again anymore.

I can't take my eyes off him while he was talking about his songs, his friends, and all about their tours. While sipping his cold coffee, I saw how his blue eyes tell many stories. He has a pointed nose and a perfect jawline. I can smell his manly scent that stuck on my nose. What would I feel if this beautiful creature will hug me? His firm black eyebrows and his full red lips that I wish to be mine.

"Hey! Laura, are you alright?"

I put back my attention on him when I finished checking him up. I blink three times while looking and smiling at him before I could finally speak.

"Oh! Yeah. I'm okay," I said.

"I hope that we could meet up again some other day." He sips his coffee while his eyes are still stuck on my eyes, waiting for a response. It was like a magnet that I also can't take my eyes off him.

"S-sure, anytime. Just give me a call."

"Thank you, Laura. I hope that you enjoy this night."

We enjoyed the night. It was already 2 a.m. when I arrived home. Kurt was a gentleman. He didn't allow me to go home by myself. Instead, he did take me home.

"Thanks for the ride, Kurt. I enjoy your company," I said as we both get off the car.

"Always, Laura." He traced my face with his right hand.

"Drive safely." I smiled at him and held his left hand in return.

"Good night, Laura."

"Good night, Kurt." That's the time when Kurt leans towards me, and we shared a good night's kiss that I will never forget.
