One Thousand Club
(Sorry for not waiting for a reply, but I don't want Xander to miss out on 'protecting' Katarina.)
Xander - regardless of whether Chris decided to stay with him or not - begun strumming a tune on his guitar. He was very skilled, even perhaps enough potential to be spotted. Soon enough, he had drawn a crowd as he began to sing Sam Cooke - Wonderful World, his voice matching the skill level of his guitar, if not better.
"Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the french I took"
He had defiently drawn a crowd by now, and already had gained a few tips, strumming his guitar and tapping his head to the music he was making, his boyish charm rubbing off on the girls who had gathered. One in particular gave him a flirty smile, her hair obviously bleached blonde, and - not that Xander recognized this - but she was wearing the latest designer labels. Xander smiled back at her and focused on her as he sung his next lines, thinking she was quite pretty with her light green eyes.
"But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be"
The girl blushed a rosy pink and he knew he had got her. As he carried on with the song, looking around as he sung but always directing the romantic bits at her, she slowly began to cool, still smiling at him cheekily as she folded her arms.
Once Xander had finished his song, he got an appreciative round of applause before people began chucking money in his case and walking away. The last to go was the blonde girl, and as she walked up to him she smiled at him, her green eyes twinkling, "That's a beautiful song." He could tell by her dialect she was obviously well educated, not a street kid like him, "Sung for a beautiful girl." She flushed red again and chucked two notes in the case along with a piece of paper, "Call me" She winked at him before walking away, he frowned lightly, picking up the paper to see that it had a number written on it. He sighed, looking back up to watch her go. He wished he could call her, but firstly, he didn't have a phone. And it would never work. She was a pretty rich kid; he was a runaway street kid.
So, he scrunched up the paper and pocketed it, having the decency to not throw her number on the floor where everyone could get it. He looked down at his tips, and his widened. The girl had chucked two fifty dollar bills in his case. He picked them up, to check they were real, yup, the rich kid had chucked 100 dollars away on his guitar playing. He pocketed the money, then looked up to check if it was worth playing another song or not.
Then he saw Katarina. His eyes narrowed. What the fu*k was she doing? Was she....? His eyes widened again as he watched the intimateness between her and the guy. Fu*k she was selling herself?!? Unless that was her secret boyfriend, which didn't seem very likely in their situation. He shoved his guitar in the case, picking it up as he moved a bit closer and ducked behind a tree to watch. Overprotective brother mode switched on.
