Chasing Imperfection (Chasing Series 2) by Pamela Ann Read Free Book Online

Richard drive us to our next destination . We s lid out of the Bentley and Ivanna linked her arm with mine as we entered the punk rock-like atmosphere. The band that Lucy was tal king about already started playing. They sounded good and a large crowd milled around the stage.
         We were seated in a booth that gave us a great view of the stage. Toby took the liberty of ord ering us alcohol and I was relieved to get away from Ivanna’s clasping hands. I could easily brush her off, but I didn’t feel like being much of a brute tonight. It’s been a long day. The visit in Italy took another toll on me. My uncle had a heart attack. He’s stable now —but needs to rest. My aunt was barely hanging in there. I was trying to figure out a way to make things easier for them when the lead singer’s voice boomed over the microphone after their song.
         “I want to invite a very good friend of ours up here. He helped us out and signed our band. He became a very good friend and we found out that he can seriously jam. Kyle Matthews get your bloody arse up here!” T he crowd applauded and hooted for the “ guest. ” T he bloody fuck emerged and went up on stage.
         I tensed and looked accusingly at Lucy and Toby who had his hands held up. “Had no clue mate, don’t look at me.”
         “Lighten up will you? Now, hush . I want to hear this one out , ” Lucy ordered.
         Damn , I should’ve seen this coming when she invited us to go somewhere tonight. Lucy’s on Sienna side and it didn’t take much to realize that this is Lucy’ s way of punishing me for being so crass of late.
         “Hello , ” the smiling idiot said on the microphone. “This is my first time playing wit h a large crowd , so I beg you guys to be patient. I’m going to play Somewhere in between by Lifehouse. ” Strapping the guitar on his shoulder, sat down and strummed it a few times before speaking again. 
         “This is song’s for Sienna—the love of my life . Rem ember w hat you promised. ” He winked at someone in the audience and I examined the crowd looking for her. I found her sitting in another booth across the room smiling up to him. The room was dark but I could see her sappy looking face.
        What did she promise him? What the hell!
         “Goodness, he’s going to serenade her! Right in front of all these people! How romantic ! Sienna’s proba bly peeing in her knickers just about now.” Lucy’s excitement piqued my increasing annoyance of the damning situation.
        The fucking wanker’s going in for the kill and she looks like she’s eating it all up. I wanted to throw something at him to shut his gob .
         He start ed to play the guitar and sang . His soft raspy voice lulled the audience to silence.
     
          I can't meet
      Losing sleep over this
      No I can't
      And now I cannot stop pacing
      Give me a few hours
      I'll have this all sorted out
      If my mind would just stop racing ...
     
         “Gosh, did any of you know that he can actually sing? What a lovely voice! Is it just me or has Kyle gotten edgier ? Look at all those tats . It looks incredible , ” Luc e gushed with amazement.
        W ho cares? I wanted to yell at her. Ivanna even looked mesmerized at the crooning bloke . Women turn gaga over men singing with their guitars strapped on. The bad boy appeal, perhaps? Even the sweet proper Lucy simply looked awestruck. Bloody women.
         “Try not to gawk at the poor bloke love—he might get struck by lightning —I’m sure he doesn’t need any more trouble other than the wrath of Blake—that alone is deadly , ” Toby jested. He wasn’t even jealous when his girlfriend admired another man. I wish I was that confident when I was with Sienna.
     
        This is over my head
     But underneath my feet
     Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
     And
