Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 40:

The club was alive with music and dancers moving freely, fully immersed in the rhythm. Norah and Joanna were having drinks upstairs when a group of bold men approached them. Unlike Jordy, these men took the hint and moved on after being politely declined.

“It turns out that actual combat training is worlds apart from Taekwondo. Once I’m fully trained, I’ll be more than capable of fighting for you, Norah!” Joanna declared.

Sitting beside Joanna, Norah propped her chin up, half-listening to her tipsy ramblings while occasionally sipping her drink.

Then, suddenly, a wave of excitement erupted from downstairs. “It’s Rosy Secret!”

“Rosy Secret has arrived! They’re finally here!”

The entire club darkened, save for the spotlight that found its way to the stage. The DJ paused the music, and the previously energetic crowd stopped, all eyes drawn to the stage.

The band featured four members: a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, and a singer—a striking woman, with the instrumentalists donned in masks.

“I don’t know what’s happening,” Norah murmured, but then the singer’s rich voice filled the room as she began to sing, her band providing a compelling backdrop.

As the chorus hit, the crowd couldn’t resist the pull of the music, moving along to the beat. “Did you think about me, baby?” The infectious tune had everyone smiling and dancing along.

For Kathy, bars and clubs had been off-limits, and Rosy Secret was a band she had only heard of, making this her first live experience of their music.

“I’m a huge fan! I’ve heard all their songs are self-composed hits! They sound amazing live! Absolutely incredible!” Kathy yelled excitedly.
