Aeryn let out a small smirk at his words. Normally, if a guy said he spent time staring at other men's muscles at the gym, she would have thought he was gay, but when David said it, she didn't. Maybe it was because he just didn't have that look about him, or maybe it was because he was just joking around, she didn't know. The longer she sat with him, the more she was learning how kindhearted he seemed to be, and it was nice to have some genuine camaraderie when she hadn't had it for so long. Sure, there was Spencer, but Spencer tended to be a little... harsh. Aeryn looked down at her guitar before looking at the stage once again. "Wanna go up and play?" She asked, smiling. It wouldn't hurt to try, after all, if they didn't have onstage chemistry, the whole band thing would end up to be pointless.

There was long silence between them. It didn't seem too awkward though, considering they took turns strumming on their guitars every minute or so. At Aeryn's question then, David looked up to the stage, feeling the sudden urge to go up and play his heart out again. "Hm..sure." he grinned, "I'm sure it wouldn't hurt any. What song you think we should play?" he asked, already moving his body out of the booth, getting up on his feet again, waiting for Aeryn.

Aeryn stood shortly after David did, but leaned against the table after she was upright. After his question, she found herself deep in thought, staring at the wall with her finger tapping against her chin methodically. She knew that it would have to be a song that would suit both of their voices, and having heard him sing only once didn't help much, even if he did have a pretty distinctive voice. When she made a decision, Aeryn smiled and looked at David again. "What do you think about The Script?" She asked, unsure if he even knew the band, let alone liked them or knew a certain song. "For The First Time?" She really just wanted to have fun with it, so what if they sucked together. Sure, it might cause issues for the band if they did, but at least they would find out now instead of later. "It's a good song." She said with a shrug.

David took the moment to think up of a decent song as well. It surely had to be something great enough for both his and Aeryn's voices. Even if they sucked, this was only a so-called practice round. They would have plenty of other opportunities to work on whatever it was that called out to them. "Oh. The Script?" he repeated, intrigued in the idea. "Hm. That would work." he nodded agreeably to the suggested song. He had listened to that song many times before, even sung it allowed, although he had never got the chance to play it on guitar. So hopefully he wouldn't mess this up. "So then...Shall we?"

Aeryn nodded when David asked her if she was ready. Ready as she'd ever be, she guessed. She couldn't help but wonder why she was nervous to go back up on stage. She had been up there, and on even bigger stages before, so what was so different now? Maybe it was David, and his easy going attitude and heartwarming smile, or maybe she was just scared to open that part of her life again. One thing she knew was, though, was that this was the point of no return for her. Once got up on that stage with David, in that small town coffee shop where she spent most of her days, there was no looking back and tainting their future with her scared thoughts. Aeryn waved at her coworker, who watch them from his spot behind the counter. With a deep breath, she glanced at David before stepping up the three small steps onto the stage.

David followed Aeryn up onto the stage, getting his guitar set up around his neck, and tuning it out before getting the mic situated next. He looked over to Aeryn next with a smile across his lips, and gave her a simple nod saying he was ready when she was. He tapped his foot a couple times getting the beat in his head before he started strumming along the strings of his guitar. After a few strums, he began the start of the song, leading Aeryn up to her words so as they could take turns. He just hoped they would be in tune with each other at least. If they didn't at least had the right tune together, then how the hell would they be able to be in the same band?

When David made his way onstage and smiled at her, Aeryn conjured up the courage to release what had been holding her back. It wasn't as hard as she thought it was going to be, his smile seemed to call out to her, making her long to be up there with him. With a grin, she followed him up and sat on a stool next to David, she too adjusting the mic stand. When he began to play, she followed along, strumming softly and quietly, glad her guitar was already in tune. As he sang, Aeryn picked up the harmony, careful not to sing too loudly and when her part came up, she switched seamlessly and effortlessly into singing the lyrics. Chancing a glance at David, she smiled for second. Everything seemed to be going great, and for that she was thankful.

David picked up the pace of the tune as Aeryn started singing, he got even more into it actually. Surprisingly, their melodies were working, they were in sync, their voices were in the right tone, everything was perfect. The only thing that wasn't perfect was that it ended. And when he spotted Aeryn give him that quick smile, he smiled back in return, and got right back in the song, feeling more confident than ever, as it showed in both his voice and strumming of his guitar. As the song ended, he heard the crowd give out a loud cheer and applause which eventually turned into a standing ovation. David was greatly pleased by this. His smile widened as he gave just a slight wave to the crowd, mumbling a quick "Thank you" in the mic and lead Aeryn down the steps and back to their seats. David's smile was still shining even after the crowd had calmed down and silenced once again. He was just so glad that he had finally gone up not alone, but with a partner! That felt amazing to him. Something that felt right.

Aeryn walked off the stage, the adrenaline and applause pumping through her veins. Her heart was beating a mile a minute, and she loved every minute of it. She sat in her seat before getting up again quickly and sitting down again. Her leg bounced under the table and she have David a grin. That couldn't have gone more perfectly, she knew she enjoyed it and the crowd enjoyed it, but the question was, did he enjoy it? "Wasn't that great?!" Aeryn blurted out after a moment. She didn't think she'd had that much fun performing in a long while, and it was beyond exciting for her. "And they loved it. We got a standing ovation, David! A standing fucking ovation." She shook her head, utterly mind blown. She knew she was probably being utterly ridiculous about such a tiny little song, but couldn't help it. It was by no means her first standing ovation, but the fact that it was with David made it all the more special to her. She played onstage, with a partner, and it was amazing. And that onstage chemistry they seemed to have? She wasn't complaining about that either.

David couldn't help but smile wider when he saw how exhilarated Aeryn was. "That was fuckin' awesome." he nodded in agreement, a small laugh escaping. He was feeling a bit exhilarated himself. He wasn't sure if it was because he had just accomplished something he hasn't done before, or if it was all because of Aeryn. He felt it was Aeryn, she was amazing herself. The way she smiled at him while up on stage and after the song, he could tell there was definitely some sort of chemistry in the air. "I've gotten standing ovations before, but this one just takes the cake. It felt so fucking amazing. Especially knowing that I won't be standing on the spotlight alone anymore." he smiled warmly at her.

Aeryn was glad David didn't seemed put out be her cheery disposition. Maybe she was being a bit presumptuous, but she thought that they did had chemistry, be it onstage or off. Something about the way he smiled made her look at him in a new and different light. And to be honest, she really didn't mind seeing that way. She just hoped he didn't feel like he had wasted his time on her in the end. No matter how good she felt now, she knew that the doubt would come back soon. His comment made her smile form into a grin, and for a moment she felt it could stay plastered there. She couldn't remember the last time she had smiled this much. "I can't remember the last time I had so much fun." The admission saddened her a little. She had spent so much time hiding herself from the world and now her eyes were opened. Was this what she had been missing? She looked into David's eyes and found herself longing... For more. She wanted to live. Aeryn nodded in agreement, it really was great. "It's do much better than being... Alone." She said softly, and couldn't help feeling the double meaning behind her words.

"Really??" that question sounded more shocked than he had planned. David thought, or at least it seemed like, Aeryn had performed on stage like this within like, a week ago! He was surprised its been so long since then. "Well if its been that long, then congratulations. That was just, fuckin' fantastic what you did up there." he complimented to her, noticing a few times how she started to glance over to him with that sparkle in her eye. She really was something. Just the way she smiled wider and wider each time he spoke a new word to her, like it just lit something in her. Something warm, and good. He nodded in agreement to her last statement, with a simple reply back to her, "Yes. It is." with a smile never leaving that lit face of his.

Aeryn nodded solemnly when he asked her that question, noting his surprised tone. It had been so long since she was booted out of the band she helped to build. The people she were supposed to trust, just tossed her aside. She wasn't surprised when the band tanked after two months. "Yeah, it's been..." She began, looking to the side. Aeryn counted on her fingers, her lip in between her teeth, the months since. "Nine months. It took me three to even to be able play again." With a shrug, she smiled when David complimented her playing. It meant a lot to her. Sure, she got praise from audiences full of strangers, but it was different coming from someone who she cared about. And it was the truth, she really was starting to care about David. He was nice to her, and seemed like a genuinely good person. "Thank you, it means more than you know." She told him. She was glad she didn't just walk away from him when she was leaving the coffee shop earlier that evening. "So, David, tell me about yourself."

"Damn." It's really been nine months? he thought to himself. And another three to get back to the ol' guitar? It was hard to believe to him, considering how great she was up on stage just a couple seconds ago. Maybe it could of been a couple weeks she took a break, but nine months? Really? It was hard for David to believe that. But he did. When Aeryn asked him that next question then, David bit his lip, thinking of what to tell her exactly. Should he tell her that he was a father? That he had gotten a girl pregnant three years ago? What would she think of him then? "Well.." he started, "Other than music being my life," he laughed, letting his confidence get the best of him before finally admitting to her, "I do have a daughter. And honestly, she's the one where most of my inspiration comes from." He wondered what Aeryn would say next. Would she think differently about him now that she knew he was a young single father? He sure hoped not.

Aeryn nodded solemnly. When they first kicked her out of the band, she was filled filled with a pure and blinding rage. How dare they? But, after the dust settled, she was left wondering why. She was left wondering what made her so invaluable to them. This was the thinking that led her to not be able to play for three months after it happened. It took a lot of coaxing by her friend to even try, and not long after that first time she was back to blowing minds again. Aeryn waited for him to speak, and he looked nervous for some reason, for which she was curious. Did he have something to hide? What he said though, surprised her. Her eyes widened when he said he had a daughter. He looked so young to have a kid, not that it wasn't impossible or even wrong. "Wow." She spoke, a smile forming on her face. "That's really great, David. I think it's awesome that she is such a big part of your life." She knew what it was like to have a shitty parent, and from what she could tell, David had to have been a fantastic parent. She didn't even know her own father. Aeryn moved so she was leaning against the wall of the booth and pulled her knees up to her chest. "How old is she?" She asked curiously.
