Lincoln remained lying on the seat. The boy's face was red and sweaty, and his pants zipper was still down. "Why can't I talk to a girl without her ending up harassing me?"
-It was six thirty in the evening-
Lincoln wore gray pants and a black shirt. He also wore a leather bracelet on his right wrist.
Suddenly, his cell phone started ringing. But not the one Venomus gave him. When he regained his sight, he bought a cell phone to keep in touch with his family.
When he saw the screen, he found Luna.
"Hey Luna. What's going on?"
"Hello love. Hey, I was wondering if you would like to go somewhere fun tonight. Like a movie or a hotel."
"I'd love to. But I've already arranged to meet Tabby to go to Krakatoa tonight."
"Oh really? Can I go?"
"Um...I don't know. Three is a lot."
"Says the man who has four girlfriends"
"That's different. Tabby doesn't know about us."
"Yeaahh. Of course not."
"Huh? Why did you say it that way?"
"For no reason. And that's okay. I understand. You have other obligations. You can't always be looking for us."
He really felt it. "I'll make it up to you when I get back."
"How?"
"I don't know. What do you want? Aside from sex."
"Okay. I'll think of something else."
The call ended, and Lincoln went back to preparing himself. When he was ready, he got into his car and headed to the club.
Tabby was waiting for him at the entrance. When she saw the boy, she bit her lower lip because he looked so handsome.
"Well, well. You didn't have to be so nice to me."
"Well. Since it's our first date, I thought I should dress up for the occasion."
"A date, huh? Are you proposing to me to be your girlfriend?"
"But you said it was..."
"So does this mean you don't want me as your girlfriend?" Tabby made sad puppy eyes.
"Uh... well... I..."
Tabby kisses Lincoln on the lips. "Don't worry. Let's go slow." The girl clung to Lincoln's arm, and they entered the party.
After a few hours of listening to some well-known and new bands play, the director came on stage.
"What a great night. Fantastic array of talent."
"But now, it's time to give our fans a chance. It's time for open mic night."
"Hey. Shouldn't we go?" Tabby encouraged.
"Um, I don't know, Tabby."
"Please," Tabby says again, making sad puppy dog eyes at Lincoln.
"Heaven. Not those little eyes again... Fine. Come on."
They both talk to the announcer, and he announces them.
"And now. To start tonight. A young couple will be playing for us."
Tabby will play drums, and Lincoln will be the guitarist and vocalist.
"Okay. Are you ready, love?"
"I think so."
"Okay, let's give it a shot."
Tabby started playing the drums, while Lincoln started singing while moving his fingers on the guitar strings.

When the song ended, the audience's applause and cheers filled the place.
Lincoln and Tabby stood next to each other and bowed to the audience.
It was nine o'clock at night, and the couple decided to go to the park.
Lincoln didn't really like this place at night. Because every time he went with his sisters, someone tried to assault them.
They were both sitting on a bench. It was still cold at that time during the night. So, before going, they stop for a coffee.
Tabby had been watching Lincoln for a while. Which the boy noticed.
"Hey Lincoln. Can I ask you something?"
"Yes. What do you want to know?"
"Why do you cover your eyes? I mean, it doesn't look bad on you. But I always liked seeing your face."
Lincoln looked ahead, in the direction of the pond. "The thing is... I'm not the same anymore, Tabby."
"Yes. I realize. You're getting really hot, and it's huge, buddy."
"That's not what I mean, Tabby!"
"What then?"
Lincoln hesitated for a moment. But he had to trust his friend. "Okay... but please... don't panic."
"Panic me? Why am I going to panic?"
Lincoln sighed and then proceeded to raise his bangs, exposing his eyes.
When she saw them, Tabby dropped her coffee on the floor. After that, Lincoln covered his eyes again.
"I knew. I see myself as a phenomenon."
Tabby doesn't answer. She was still looking at Lincoln with her eyes wide open.
"I think... It is better..." The boy was silenced by a kiss from Tabby that lasted a minute.
"Tabby. Why did you do that?"
"Because I like you, Lincoln. It doesn't matter what you look like. I love you so much."
Lincoln smiled, but then he remembered something: "Tabby. I like you too. But... I'm not the boy you think I am."
"What are you talking about?"
"This... I... there are things about me that no one should know. Things that would make you sick just by seeing me if you knew them."
"Are you talking about sleeping with your sisters?"
This made Lincoln spit out his coffee and start coughing.
"What the hell!? How?"
"Luna told me once when she was drunk."
"Damn it, Luna! You and your big mouth!" Lincoln covered his face with his hands, which turned red with embarrassment. "I want to become a monkey. Please kill me."
"Link. Calm down; it's not that bad. Well, I'm not going to lie to you. It seemed a bit disgusting to me at first."
"And you still want to go out with me? Because?"
"Okay... Let's say Luna told me something that made me feel less upset."
"What? What did she say?"
"I'm sorry. She made me promise not to tell you anything."
"Please, Tabby. Tell me."
"Well, if you convince me, maybe I'll tell you."
"I convince you; how?"
Tabby whispers something in Lincoln's ear.
"Of course you were going to ask that."
