Gamer Superstar - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: 198 – Jay and Emma Reaction
Before Jay knew it, he was on his third beer and still watching the show with Emma.

At first, Emma was worried that Jay would ask her to change the channel, but when she saw his leg tapping to the rhythm of The Lazy Song, she realized that her dad was enjoying the music too!

So she turned it up a bit and just enjoyed the music and the show while chatting with some friends on her cell phone and posting on twipper about how she felt about it.

[Now it’s time for me to sing one of my favorite songs] BlackVelvet said on the TV screen, making both Emma and Jay look at the screen.

Emma was excited that he was going to sing her favorite song, and seeing how handsome he looked, she was even more excited to hear him sing it.

As more than 30 minutes of the show had passed, BlackVelvet was already sweating, sweat dripping down his body and his hair slightly damp, which only added to how attractive he was in Emma’s eyes.

Jay, on the other hand, was curious as to what song this boy was going to sing.

So far he had sung a few songs and Jay had liked them all!

There were a few that he liked best, especially the Bar Song, which was apparently the song that got the boy sponsored by Jack Daniels.

The lyrics were very relaxing and went very well with the beer he was drinking, so he was curious to know what the next song would be.

[To be honest, this is a song I have to be very careful with when I sing in front of a crowd]. The boy said to the screen, leaving Jay confused. [Because the lyrics of this song are about a boy who has his eye on a girl he’s been dating the whole party and is waiting for the girl’s boyfriend to leave the party so he can hit on the girl…].

Listening to this, Jay was surprised by such lyrics.

He’d heard a lot of songs about men suffering for love, which was very common in country music, but a song about a man who had his eye on another man’s wife? That was certainly a first.

Which piqued his curiosity.

Hearing the melody, Jay started to enjoy it and became even more interested, the problem was when the boy started to sing…

🎼🎶🎤

I can’t believe we’re finally alone.

I can’t believe I almost went home

What are the odds? Everyone’s dancing

And he’s not with you

🎼🎶🎤

Unlike the other songs, which the boy sang with a lot of lightness and charisma, in this song the boy sang in a much more intimate and sensual way, which made Jay a little uncomfortable.

Still, the musicianship was very good.

Even though the style of singing in this song was different from what he was used to, Jay was able to adapt to it quickly and enjoy it just like the boy’s other songs.

The problem was when he looked over and saw Emma’s rosy cheeks as she smiled silly and looked at the TV.

No way, right? Jay thought as he looked worriedly between the TV and Emma.

Seeing Emma’s reaction and reading the comments that were rapidly appearing in the corner of the screen, Jay realized that there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of girls who were crazy about how this boy was singing right now!

This was even more intense than the way girls acted towards rock stars in his day!

All this because of the way that boy sings?” he thought in shock.

Looking at the boy singing, Jay realized that his appearance was also a crucial fact, adding up how good the boy looked with how good he sang and how enjoyable the music was, Jay could only admit that this was bound to happen.

Fortunately, the boy his daughter was interested in was a singer she was unlikely to come into contact with in the future, right? So he didn’t have to worry too much.

The problem was that even after realizing this, Jay still had a bitter taste in his mouth until the song ended.

Without realizing it, he drank the whole bottle of beer during this song, which made him sigh and get up to get another beer before the next song.

Emma didn’t even notice her father getting up from the sofa to get more beer, just concentrating on typing on her cell phone and talking to her friends about things that would drive her father crazy if he could read them.

When Jay returned to the living room, he saw the boy drinking some of that non-alcoholic Jack Daniels and was interested to see what it tasted like.

[The next song is a song I only performed once, incredibly something I only performed at the opening gig I did for the band Dark Pistol, because of the problems and drama you already know happened, I haven’t been able to edit, post or even perform this song anywhere else, so this will be the second time I perform this song in public, as well as the first time I perform it on the internet!] He said with a smile.

Seeing that it was a new song, Jay was curious again and wanted to see what it would be like.

Emma, on the other hand, was shocked and began to focus 100% of her attention on this song, wanting to know what it was like.

[For those of you who liked ‘Boyfriend’, you might also like ‘Too Sweet’,] he said with a slightly mischievous smile on his face, without explaining any further as he began to play.

Hearing this, Emma’s eyes lit up with excitement, while Jay frowned, not knowing how to react.

At least the feeling of this song was even better than the feeling of the previous song, making it sound like it was really a rock song of the style he liked.

🎼🎶🎤

You can’t say I’m an early bird

It’s ten o’clock before I say a word

Baby, I can never say

How do you sleep so well?

🎼🎶🎤

When Jay heard the beginning of the song, he was a little confused.

Even though he realized it was a song about a guy singing to a girl, it didn’t sound as straightforward as the first song.

🎼🎶🎤

You keep telling me to live right

To go to bed before the light

But then you wake up for the sunrise

You know you don’t have to pretend, baby, now and then

Don’t you just want to wake up, dark as a lake?

Smelling like a campfire, lost in a haze?

If you’re drunk on life, baby, I think it’s great

But while in this world…

🎼🎶🎤

Hearing this, Emma was shocked to realize that the lyrics were different from the song she had imagined.

Emma was sure that this would be another song like “Boyfriend” where BlackVelvet was trying to win her over, but it seemed that this was actually him trying to end a relationship? Was he dumping her?

Jay, on the other hand, smiled when he heard this.

Remembering back to his youth when he’d dumped a girl for the same reason, he found himself liking this song even more.

🎼🎶🎤

I think I’ll take my whiskey neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

You’re too sweet for me

You’re too sweet for me

🎼🎶🎤

Hearing the relationship of the boy singing that he liked whiskey neat and seeing him pick up a glass of Jack Daniels neat and drink it with a smile on his face, Jay understood the analogy perfectly!

Whiskey was an extremely strong and fiery drink, something you drank and felt like your throat was burning.

You could add energy drinks or other beverages to sweeten the drink, but those who really knew how to appreciate a drink drank whiskey straight, just like the boy sang in the song.

And since the song was about a relationship, Jay understood that the boy wanted something more intense, a fire that the poor girl couldn’t provide because she was too sweet…

Subconsciously, Jay looked at Emma, wanting to know what she was thinking and how she was reacting to this song, but what he saw shocked him.

Instead of seeing Emma sad or disappointed, he noticed that she had an intense look on her face, a look he had never seen on her face before.

What is she thinking?’ he asked himself in confusion.

Emma, on the other hand, after hearing what BlackVelvet had sung in the song, realized that she probably did look very sweet…

Maybe so cute that she wouldn’t attract boys?

Then the idea came to her to simply change her style, to start acting in a more intense way, to change from a pleasant, comfortable flame to a stronger, more powerful one.

If Noah knew what happened to some girls who heard this song for the first time, he could only laugh at the situation, because although he understood the lyrics, as a personal preference, he really liked sweet, cute girls…

Too bad he didn’t even know what was going on with the girls listening to him and just kept singing, enjoying every minute of the show.

Especially when I saw so many comments and the number of viewers went up and up!
