Elise - S01 E22

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

I was on my second beer when the crowd went crazy, whistling and stomping their feet, cheering and clapping. The band had come on stage and little Suzanne was at the mike smiling and then used her hands to calm the crowd down.

"I take it you guys have heard the news."

The crowd erupted again and Suzanne let it die down.

"I am glad you liked it but not as glad as for what it means for us so tonight is going to be special for us all. Hopefully it will work out for us and we won't forget you guys or this place. I have to thank Elise for giving us the chance to play here initially as we were struggling at the time, so, thank you Elise from the bottom of my heart. It was here after last week that we were approached by an A&R guy for you know who. It has been a hectic week for us so we are going to let off some steam tonight! OK let's get this show on the road!"

The crowd went crazy and it took a couple of minutes to die down before the band launched into Heart's Barracuda.

Rapturous applause greeted the end of the song and the band went straight into Walking in Sunshine. Without pause it was Led Zeppelins Rock and Roll. At the end of this Suzanne said,

"OK folks, we are going to tone it down a bit."

I wouldn't call Janis Joplin's Cry Baby toning it down! The crowd were loving it. The band played a couple of their own songs

The Cranberries Zombie was next and it was like a list of the most powerful female rock vocalists that followed.

After Kim Carnes Bette Davis Eyes, Suzanne announced the band was having a short break.

The crowd at the bar deepened and the waitresses were going back and forth non-stop to the booths and tables. I had to wait until I managed to catch Sean's eye to get another beer. He brought it to me and said.

"This is nuts! Never been like this on a Thursday before but as long as those registers keep going kerching, no complaints here."

I watched Elise serving drinks non-stop to the crowd. She looked at me and rolled her eyes and smiled. I smiled back at her and raised my bottle in salute.

The band came back on after twenty minutes and Suzanne started with Garbage's Only Happy When it Rains. Alanis Morissette's ,You Oughta Know followed. A couple more of the bands own compositions followed and I could hear why a record company had taken them up. Great melodies and rhythms with vocals to match.

Suzanne appealed for quiet at the end of it and asked the crowd, "Does anybody know anybody in here that can sing?"

Cries of, "Elise! Elise!" Went up from the crowd.

Elise shook her head smiling.

"Elise, you are not getting out of this tonight. This is special so get yourself up here with me and share."

Suzanne beckoned her from the stage.

"Come on girl, get your ass up here!”

Elise gave in and left the bar to cheers from the crowd and joined Suzanne on the stage. Again the guitarist set up his mike for Elise. There was no discussion as to what to play. The band broke into the Cranberries Dreams again and Elise had me hanging on every note. On the third verse she looked straight at me as she sang it and I could see her eyes glisten. She managed to the end of the song without losing it. The crowd roared approval as she and Suzanne hugged. They stayed together like that and I knew they were talking. Suzanne looked at me and smiled while talking in Elise's ear. I could see Elise nod her head.

They broke the hug and Elise hugged all the band before coming off stage. She went to the office for a minute or so and then got behind the bar again serving customers.

The band played another four numbers and ended with a medley version of Bad Reputation and I Love Rock and Roll. The crowd cried out for more but that was it.

The buzz in the bar gradually quietened as the crowd thinned out a little but still the bar staff were still busy serving.

Eventually the bar emptied out leaving just the band and staff. The band broke down their gear and took it out while Suzanne and Elise talked at the bar. Elise called me over and introduced me to Suzanne.

"So you are responsible for Elise being so happy these days then. You must be something special to do that."

"I'm just ordinary, nothing special at all."

"Ordinary?", said Elise. "Suze, would you call someone that jumps out of an airplane with you strapped to him ordinary? Or takes you for a boat ride in his own boat or has you hanging onto him speeding up the canyon on the back of a bike, ordinary?"

"Sounds like a fun guy to be with!" Suzanne laughed.

"Oh, he is fun alright! Most definitely!"

"Elise, I gotta go, looks like the guys are hungry! I can't thank you enough for what you did for us. You are an angel. Bye Ger, hope to see you again."

Suzanne hugged Elise and left with the rest of the band.

"What a night this has been. I doubt it will ever be a Thursday like this again." Elise looked around the bar, her crew were clearing up the last of the glasses and bottles. Sean was totaling the tills and the contents of the fanny packs. Soon there were just the three of us left and Sean was putting on his jacket.

"Places to go and people to see so I'm off home. Take care you guys." He headed out and Elise locked up the bar.

"Just us now, nice and quiet. Give me a hand with these please." She pointed at the takings.

I picked them up and followed her into the office and put them in the open safe, she closed it and spun the dial.

"Tomorrow will do for sorting it out."

She put her arms around me and said, "I meant every word that I sang tonight. That is how you make me feel. I nearly started to cry as the words meant so much more to me than ever before."

I kissed her and she pressed herself against me with her response becoming more intense as the kiss went on. I put one hand between her shoulder and the other on her ass and tried to absorb her into me. Her warmth I felt against every part of me that touched her body. My cock swelled in my jeans and Elise ground her hips against me kissing me harder.

We broke breathless and rushed upstairs to her apartment. As the door closed behind us, Elise was pulling at my t-shirt and I opened her shirt and pressed her breasts against my chest feeling her hard nipples push into my chest. Fumbling with her jeans in desperation I pulled them down and over her feet, smelling the musk that had made her thong damp. I kissed her mound through the material before rising to pull mine off.
