chill in ye olde shanty [ a-hoy captain! ]
and many more, as time goes by!
actual concept playlists
summer indie - guitar themed tracks about life and death and all that’s in between
ingenium voluntatis - r e d  y e a r n i n g  but make it existential. it starts well but something happens. probably society and its non-sense rules. 
the apocalypse and other related catastrophes, merrily told by yours truly - the world is ending and shit is going down. but is it? are you certain this is the world and not some other unnameable thing? are you already dead? is it the apocalypse you dreamed, the one you’ve been waiting for, or is it too slow-boiled? deathly, rotting acceptance of the end of times, with a hint of child-like storytelling.
gotta go FAST -  it’s 34°C. the streets are a desert. you’re 20 minutes late. run.
daydreaming on main - can we stay like this forever? lost in a neo-classical painting, full of celestial things, and symmetry, dreaming away.
dreamy drum pop - is it a dream? are you in love with a dream, in the street of some ancient, modern city, following their shadow? or are you just having a bad case of hypotension? we may never know.
an evening in beige - cruelly posh but in a classy, bitter, hollow way
ready for the lazarus pit, shaka-brah! - a collection to sell your soul to a demonic entity of your choosing to. mostly dark techno, but with a classical twist.
chillin! - or the "dude put on some good music" playlist - when you’re chilling with laid-back pals and they ask you to put on some music and you need a quick, safe, society-tolerable playlist to hit shuffle on and leave there
sweet music playing in the dark - jazz n stuff, some old gems. also, the songs quoted by Almost (Sweet Music) by Hozier.
time. - feel the flow of endless thing going by. the clock is ticking, but what the hell is time, anyway?
audiobooks!! - it’s what it says on the tin, my dudes. including: macbeth, metamorphosis, orlando, the call of cthulhu, iliade, the time machine, the tell-tale heart, the black cat, dr. jekyll and mr.hyde, pride and prejudice, black beauty, treasure island, the phantom of the opera, de profundis, frankenstein, carmilla, beowulf, dracula, the raven
fuck this, keep running - from society. from civilization. it’s just you and your ideas against the world, kid. let’s go give them hell. they will never take us alive. 
oh gee golly what a disaster - oh, this is bad. //  that's so sad alexa play this playlist
a witch in the woods - in the throat of the forest, whispered chants and incantations. it’s the voice of the survivors, the ones that escaped the pyre. hush now and dream.
till the end of the world and back - it’s ride or die. the cavalry's here and it's here to stay. 
italian oldies - italian culture. every italian i've ever met knows every single one of these by heart somehow.
:))))))) - am i happy? am i on the edge of a mental breakdown? have i gone completly insane? gee golly! who knows
stars, who am i? - did someone say existential crisis?
personal hyperuranium - my happy, serene place. when everything is too much close your eyes and listen to this. 
young punks, get off my lawn - wreaking havoc with ur gang  / girl gang.
self torment - me @ myself: why r u like this
razzle dazzle jazzle - you like jazz? 
knightess in a shining armor - heroines with swords, here’s to you
playlists inspired by stuff!
songs to be a flamboyant asshole to - swag walk. i blame anthony jantony crowley for this. 
the mad prophet - loosely inspired by friedrich nietzsche’s theories
the star traveller - laugh hard, run fast, be kind // inspired by the thirteenth doctor
getting to it, that's not the hard part. it's letting go. - i left my heart, 3 friends, and 37 gold bars in the sierra madre // inspired by Fallout New Vegas - Dead Money
pew-pew // (i'm three ounces of whoop-ass) - "Another female operative broke into my house and attacked me." "What did she want?"  "Dinner." | a killing eve playlist
les mis, les amis - those brave fellows. honestly, squad goals.
prince(ss) of verona - inspired by a theatrical performance of Romeo and Juliet, in which the prince of verona was. well. she was powerful.

chloe eliz4bet2 price m0od - hella punk but also hella sad // inspired by chloe price, from life is strange
rachel amber mood - hey i've just met you and this is crazy but heres my number so let's burn down a forest maybe // inspired by rachel amber, from life is strange
musical journeys!
a Comedy. | a musical journey. - someone falls from grace and gets thrown into the world. lands in a forest. confused, resolves to survive at any cost. killing, stealing, partying, fleeing, living. eventually, with time, discovers a gentler, happier way to live. they still throw the best parties. doing no harm, taking no shit.
calliope bae gimme a hand wouldn't ya: a musical journey - a tale of poets: young tragedies and cursed gods; laughs and fights; transcendental roadtrips and hellhounds; parties and their aftermath.

Evidence, you
"The final, crucial piece of evidence...you."
-
Reasons to fall:
1. Darkness
" Im.."
"What is it? "
" Kinda thinking about change this 'broken white' wall's colour-"
"That's good.."
" I'm gonna paint this wall with black-"
" Wait, what? Don't be ridiculous no one will come here at night because of the dark.."
" Well, haha.. Are you afraid with the darkness?"
" Not really.."
" Liar~"
" I'm not. But may I just ask why are you really love those dark colors?"
" Then I'll just ask you back before I answer that. What do you think about 'black'? Let's forget about navy or grey because everyone usually like that."
" People usually think that they describe the darkness, or maybe sadness(?)"
" Right, that was people thought. But, I don't think the same. It's a serenity for me."
" I see.. So that was your reason, huh?"
" Yes. So if I change this room colour will you-"
" No."
" Ok nevermind forget that I'm just kidding"
2. Photography
" Why is this so confusing..."
" What's wrong?"
" I'm getting confused with this camera, why is this so hard to change the settings I don't get it."
" Which part?"
" The results make you looks brighter-"
" Are you trying to say that I'm too 'dark'?"
" Yes hehe ok no I'm kidding but you look so pale here"
" Let me see that and stop make me curious- wow yeah I'm too pale".
" How to change that? There are too many buttons I'm confused."
" Come here I'll show you. There's nothing wrong with the exposure, you just have to change the ISO. Here's the button.. So I'll let you try it, here..."
" You're right.. Thanks"
" I learned about camera when I was in the high school. I often borrowed my friends' camera, and then asked how to set them.."
" Hmm.. Ok got it."
" You said you want to be a photographer. Then you should have to learn a lot about how to set camera. Don't give up! I'll help you later."
3. Nyctophilia
" Here let me take a picture of you."
" Don't, I'm not im the mood, really.. Why don't you take a pict of Isola instead?"
" Hmm you know? I often went here at 10pm.."
" Going here? At night? Wow, I'm surprised that you didn't afraid.."
" I told you earlier I'm not afraid of darkness.. Why should I? Besides, I really enjoyed the night view of Isola.. It's so beautiful.. You should try it sometimes."
" I will, and what were you doin'?"
" Not much. Just read my books & drank a cup of coffee, and layin' outhere to see the sky.."
" I see.. Anyway, thank you for you recommendation.. I'll try it maybe if I have a chance.."
" Anytime, I'll promise you won't regret it".
4. Casing
" Im, I wanna ask you something".
" Go on.. What was that?"
" Have you bought something online?"
" I have, and why is that?"
" Um, how to?"
" ....buy something online?"
" Y-yeah.."
" Do you want something?"
" I want to buy a phone case like yours."
" Hm? Like mine? Oh....black, isn't it?"
" Hehe..."
" Do you think I want to have a same phone case with you?"
" Hm, no?"
" Exactly."
" Ok nevermind but please help me find another black phone case, will youuuu?"
" Why me?"
" Psssh I don't know how to buy something from an online shop and I don't know how Sh*pee works. Besides, I heard it's more cheaper if we bought it online. Can you show me?"
" Are you sure you didn't know about that?"
" I am... Please help me."
" Fine.. What's your phone type?"
" Xiaomi, Redmi Note 5A.. Ah yes, without fingerprint."
" Ok what about this?"
" No.."
" this one?"
" Hm no?"
" This one?"
" Too expensive please can you find another cheaper case? I trust you a lot."
" I am. Just wait till you saw this..... How about this one?"
" Oh sure.. I like this one."
" Okay.. I will bought a clear case too, so we can share the shipping fee together."
" Agree."
" Do you want me to use your address? Or mine?"
" Mine was fine."
" Ok.."
" So how long the shipment is?"
" About 3-4 days...usually."
" 3-4 days? Ok fine."
Day 1
" Im, why is the packages isn't arrived yet?
" I said it takes time around 3-4 days, and this is the first day so be patient."
" Ok."
Day 2
" Im, why is the packages isn't arrived yet?"
" This is the 2nd day and still on it way, calm down."
" Ok."

" Im, why is the packages isn't arrived yet? This is the 3rd day, you say it."
" Nah, maybe tomorrow."
" Ah, I see. Ok"

" Im, I want to talk with you after your division's briefing."
" Why? Is there anything you need?"
" Just finish it quickly-"
" If you asked me about your packages can you-"
" Hehe actually it was arrived last night."
" Oh, so how was it?"
" I like it very much! See?"
" That black phone case suits well with you."
" Yeah, and this is yours."
" Alright.. It's easy to buy something in online shop. But you have to check their shop review before buy something. Got it?"
" I will remember that."
5. Low contrast, High Exposure
" Im, can you please change the tone of your edit? It makes me more ugly-"
" Hehe finally you realized it."
" But it's too dark on me.. I took a bath before this photoshoot so please make it visible."
" With?"
" The brightness, Im........"
" Fine.."
" Listen, you just need to low its contrast and make the brightness higher. See? It looks like you use a 'soft filter' presets on this pic."
" Ah you're right. Isn't this edits technique looks like the 05 presets on VSCO?"
" I don't know... But I usually edit my pics like that."
" I see.. Thank you so much, Faw!"
6. Physics
" Why did you choose Physics, Faw?"
" Because I love it. And why did you choose Arabic?"
" It's my parents choice.."
" Oh, I thought you're the only one who choose your study."
" I let my parents choose too."
" Actually, I didn't want to be here. I really want to be a part of ITB. But, yeah-"
" Fate?"
" Yeah, something like that. But, I'm not going to regret it.."
" I see.. I feel the same. Actually, I have an interest to Chemistry, but yeah I'm not good at Physics and Math.."
" But, Chemistry is more difficult than physics"
" No, I think physics is more difficult."
" Ok what about biology?"
" I'm weak at memorizing something"
" Same here."
" Why are you so tall anyway?"
" I don't know either.. Maybe it's just my mom.."
" Your mom?"
" Maybe she eats bamboo when she's pregnant(?). Hehe I'm just kidding, because I don't know."
" Me either..."
7. K-POP
" Im, do you know this song?"
" iKON's Love Scenario?"
" True!!"
" DO YOU LIKE KPOP?"
" Hehe but I'm not a fans. I just love their song. Do you know about Super Junior?"
" Mr. Simple?"
" Yes, but my fav's Superman.."
" But, actually I'm STILL speechless because of this.."
" Hahahaha, you know? I have my old kpop song's folder. Oh, do you know this song?"
" It's SNSD's.. The boys, right?"
" How about this?"
" It's Big Bang's.. Monster."
" And this?"
" Wow, it's Trouble Maker's! Wait, DON'T TELL ME YOU SAW THEIR MV TOO PLEASE BE HONEST."
" HEHE BUT JUST ONCE I SWEAR!!"
" I DIDN'T TRUST YOU."
" Oh come on.. Hey, I have to show you something."
" What is it? WAIT, IS THAT YOU?"
" Y-yeah, the bald one."
" Did you just- did you join the dance club?"
" I- I did, in the past. When I was in the mid school."
" Seriously, you make speechless twice in a row."
" Surprised, aren't you?"
" Kinda.."
" Please just keep it secret I am shy."
" Anyway, you should hear BTS' songs. It's good, really.. You'll like it.."
" Ah I've heard about BTS before.. So maybe I'll download their song later.."
8. Patience
" Im, can I talk to you now?"
" Sure.."
" Where have you been? It's been a while since you didn't come to our secretariat. Why is that? Do you have any problems?"
Actually, I'm just dissapointed with all of them but-
" I'm alright.. There's no need to be worried."
" Are you sure?"
" I will talk about this later."
" Hm? Why didn't you just say it here?"
" It can't.. I have to tell you directly.."
" So can you just come-"
" No."
" Okay, let's meet again, later?"
" Yeah, okay..."
" See ya!"
9. Last scene, white rose
" Isn't today your graduation, Faw?"
" Um- yeah.. Will you come?"
" I will.. So when you'll be free?"
" Maybe after the ceremony.."
" I have to go to the Gymnasium or the-"
" Please just go to FPMIPA instead.."
" Okay, I'll call you later."
14.49 PM, FPMIPA
" Where are you?"
" In front of the building"
" Where?"
" Turn around!"
" Oh!"
" Happy graduation.."
" Thank you"
"......"
"......"
" So, you really graduated now."
" I am.. Why is that?"
" YAH WHY ARE YOU LEAVING ME SO SOON?!"
" Hahaha, am I not be able to graduate?"
" It's not like that but, finally.. Baraakallahu fii Ilmi.."
" Thank you."
" Let's take a pic"
" Sure, but can you send it to me later?"
" I will!"
" Thank you, Im.. Please, forgive me. So sorry, I can't protect you from them earlier.. I'm sorry."
" Nevermind, just forget that problem. I should apologize too.. So sorry, I didn't contribute to you as much as I can do. I'm sorry too, I didn't do my best.. I didn't help you a lot.."
" It's okay.. Thank you for being my partner."

Favourite Songs 2016 ~A Mixed Bag~
This is probably the longest I’ve put something off in my life, for one reason or another whenever I started writing this list I became overwhelmed or really down on myself. What do I know? Who am I? What value is this at all? Well, none of those questions really matter. I’m doing this for myself and hopefully there’s the added benefit of friends looking at this and maybe getting an idea for what I’m into.
It’s no secret my interests have vastly changed between 2015 and 2016 making this an incredibly hard list to curate, but that process made me realise that this whole thing is kinda nonsense. It’s a fun thing I’m throwing together based on what I enjoyed, it’s not me scouring every release throughout a year and giving you my take on it. I’m going to miss things and skip songs and entire albums, this is an unranked list except for my absolute favourite of the year.
However, before I get into my favourite releases I want to give my take on a hobby I had a couple years back. While I think their releases are often really poor and lacking in mostly every regard, it’s worth highlighting the very rare gem they manage to spit out.
Tumblr media
AKB48 - Love Trip
This song is kinda fantastic in that it’s everything I personally feel AKB48 should be. It’s energetic, youthful and intense. AKB48 is often bogged down with releases that are mellow and way too easy going for the sheer amount of personality they have. They should be fun, and Love Trip is exactly that, and well executed, too. The mix of acoustic guitars and wailing electric guitars throughout give the song an energy more reminiscent of their older output, the accompanying layered gang vocals, while they leave something to be desired on a technical level, do add to the intensity of the song itself. It’s not abrasive, it feels just right. Love Trip could be described as a beautiful chaos, as it is a mess, but a mess that works to the benefit of the listener, it’s a song about young love, and the song sounds as chaotic as that moment in your life feels. Overall, I’d say this is the best AKB48 song in years, and continues to be.
Tumblr media
Nogizaka46 - Harujion ga Sakukoro
I was once writing what was basically a love letter to this song that I never got around to posting. When this song first came out I adored it, the composition and arrangement is so uplifting and beautiful that it’s hard to put into words how exactly you feel about it. The song is a mix of a thumping house beat and string sections with what sounds like a synthesized chorus vocal line, and it works perfectly. The music itself never really resolves itself in its transitions from chorus to verse until the end where the story of the song is resolved, and I thought that was a very smart, well crafted touch.
I don’t hold Nogizaka46 to the same standard as AKB48. I personally feel that Nogizaka46’s output is very solid for most releases even if they falter in some coupling track decisions here and there, but Harujion ga Sakukoro is a very, very special song and I feel it is a highlight when it comes to idol songs.
Now with that out of the way I get to my favourite songs of the year. These songs are in no real order but at the very end I’ll give my absolute favourite song of the year, so if you only came for that then just skip to the end because this’ll be real boring otherwise.
Favourite Songs
Tumblr media
Perfume - Flash
People like to rag on Perfume these days for whatever reason, can’t say I really get it. I understand the music has changed but that doesn’t mean it’s objectively better or worse. I find Flash to be a highlight in Perfume’s discography, and the Cosmic Explorer album, while I understand it’s a bit more western influenced and trendy, it’s a lot of fun. Flash kinda just goes in, heavy on the synth leads, snares for days, it’s dumb fun. It knows it’s dumb. I’d also like to give a shout out to the album mix of Flash, it’s rearranged and the dynamic and structure of the song sounds completely different but it’s also really good, just in a different way.
Tumblr media
Kariya Seira - Colorful World
A very fun, electro-funk song. I love the electric piano throughout, the bendy bassline, swimmy, sparkly and stabby synths. I also love Seira’s singing, she’s become a really beautiful singer over the years and this song highlights it unlike no other. If you’re ever feeling down I’d really recommend this song among Seira’s other songs.
Tumblr media
BiSH - Orchestra
Probably BiSH’s most ambitious song to date. It gives off the melancholic yet optimistic vibes of a smoother Nogizaka46 song, but with a really intense double-kick build into a flurry of orchestral strings. It’s not really a mix you think of to often, but the mix of metal and a string section with this really off-kilter idol punk singing works beautifully. Idol music can sometimes feel a bit fake, but BiSH always manages to feel authentic and I feel Orchestra is a good example of that.
Tumblr media
Fujiwara Sakura - “Kawaii”
My favourite side of Fujiwara Sakura is her really emotive singing, and that especially shows in the chorus of “Kawaii”, it’s a very pretty, sentimental jazz song. It’s very jazz, so if you don’t like jazz maybe this won’t be your thing, but it’s jaunty, it’s a lot of fun. Please try it, she’s really good. I’m on my knees begging. I love her so much.
Tumblr media
Maison Book Girl - lost AGE
I’ve never been able to describe Maison Book Girl, they’re a unique genre unto themselves, very heavy on strings and acoustic guitars but chopped and mixed incredibly weirdly. I honestly wouldn’t recommend a single song by them, but their entire discography. It’s so unique, it’s indescribable. It’s all one cohesive style so if you don’t like one song you won’t like any of their songs, really, but you need to check them out.
Tumblr media
Ladies’ Code - Galaxy
More jazz! But now lower key and subdued. Galaxy is very pretty musically and visually, so definitely check out the music video. I really like the places the song goes, in the bridge it kinda builds this jazzy momentum in contrast to the very mellow beginning and they carry it towards the end. It’s a very neat, chill song, I thoroughly recommend it. Also I adore the bassline.
Tumblr media
Ladies’ Code - The Rain
More upbeat and less subtle than Galaxy, but the bouncy synth on top of the continued jazzy feel from Galaxy makes The Rain my favourite of Ladies’ Code releases from 2016. There’s also something about the lead in with the heavy violin into the hard hitting chorus that makes The Rain feel a bit more intensely emotional than Galaxy. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I like it a lot.
Tumblr media
Lee Hi - My Star
Lee Hi continues her motown streak with My Star, and it’s kinda motown-lite but there’s something about it that I really like. The hook is really catchy to me, it’s reminiscent of contemporary motown where it sounds a bit more pop than full motown and that’s alright for me. I also reward any song for expensing actual session played instrumental work, like this song has actual brass sections. However the main snare they’re using sounds EDM as heck. Song’s produced by Teddy so it’s to be expected to some degree isn’t it.
Tumblr media
TWICE - TT
What hasn’t been said about TT at this point? It kinda became a cultural phenomenon in East Asia. It’s a really great song. Excellent use of space in the mix, makes the song sound huge and ethereal, the deep house-esque bass synths are wonderful and the hook is super catchy. It’s a perfect pop song if you ask me.
Tumblr media
WJSN - Secret
I adore secret, some would call this maybe the biggest surprise of 2016, but it’s an e.one track, of course it’s fantastic. e.one can do no wrong. The music box lead into the melodic synth with an accompanying string section is probably the thing that immediately hooked everybody into this song. It’s a great, fun way to start off your song. That and, of course, the bimiliya aaaaaAa, it’s incredibly catchy. It never gets boring for me.
Tumblr media
REOL - Give me a break stop now
REOL’s vocal inflections and general vocal direction is the hook for me, I love her style, but the song is also the type of EDM trap I’m way into. Abrasive trap horns, heavy ass synth, weird ass BONK replacing the snare, the entire thing just kicks you in the teeth and it’s great. REOL and GigaP did a fantastic job at producing this.
Tumblr media
BLACKPINK - Whistle / Boombahyah / Playing With Fire
I’m putting most of BLACKPINK’s discography into one because I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed every release they put out in 2016. Whistle’s low-key, simple melodies are something I’m not typically into, but I was immediately hooked by the song, it’s so catchy.  The heavy sub-bass, cowbell rhythm, snare rolling into the bouncy, acoustic build unusually works very, very well and the hook itself is simple and fun, I recommend it.
Boombahyah is basically a pop-ified, big room house banger with all the arabic scale and reverb heavy snares you can handle. It’s almost comical how ridiculous the song is, but it’s a lot of fun, and that’s all I really want.
Playing With Fire is probably my favourite BLACKPINK song of 2016, the electro swing feel throughout, especially in the synth hook is really enjoyable. It’s a very charismatic song, Lisa especially hooks me as I love how she delivers her lines, she’s such a goof but in this song has a lot of attitude.
Tumblr media
Red Velvet - Russian Roulette
Russian Roulette is, despite the name, a fun synthpop song with a disco influence. The song is presented in a very monotonous fashion, it leads in with a flat, stuttering “la, la-la, la” and throughout the song the vocals are delivered in a similarly robotic way, very atypical for the blues-y, soulful vocals you’re used to from Red Velvet. I think that’s what makes this song really interesting. It’s a 180 from the absolute belter that was Dumb Dumb, but they still make it work, they, and pop music in general, do not need to be hinged on technical ability to be a fun, entertaining song. While not everybody can make it work, Red Velvet impressed me with their versatility. The music itself is very nice and simple, lots of synth drags, stuttery vocal leads and it even has the rare musical interlude which Korean pop tends not to do too often. Definitely one of my favourite songs of the year.
Tumblr media
Oh My Girl - Windy Day
Probably one of the weirder Korean idol releases in recent years. Windy Day is an acoustic heavy, ethereal, bubblegummy type song with very beautifully arranged vocals and an arabic scale (at least I think it’s the arabic scale) influenced musical interlude that completely contrasts the feel of the previous verses. The song is fucking nuts, and it’s great. It’s hard to describe. I really recommend you check it out regardless of the type of music you’re into because it’s a weird one.
Tumblr media
Lovelyz - Destiny
Synth, string heavy and intense. It’s not a mellow track by any means, but there’s something about Destiny that is eerie and even haunting. I’d go into Destiny further but I want to write a post in itself about Lovelyz discography at one point where I delve deeper into the sounds and style, but I need to include this because the song is fantastic and you should listen to it.
Absolute Favourite Song of the Year
Tumblr media
Gfriend - Rough / Navillera
Both of these songs, to me, are perfect. I find no faults in either of them. They both easily go onto my favourite songs of all time. From the string, guitar heavy Rough to the synthy, discopop Navillera, it’s hard to find a fault, they’re both essentially perfect songs for me. The vocal delivery is beautiful, the way the strings and synths are arranged are both beautiful and powerful, the cute guitar solos feel nostalgic yet unique for the current pop landscape. It all just works perfectly for me. They’re both perfect songs.
And that’s about it. You probably noticed “hey these are all title tracks” well, yes, they are. I wanted to make it easier for myself but I do recommend if you enjoy any of these songs that you check out the respective single, mini-album or album they come from. Also, respect to everybody who produced and was involved with the production of these songs and music videos.
Iggy Youngbae are my dads

OUT OF TOWN GIRL
Request: Can you do an imagine based on Justin's song "Out Of Town Girl" ? 😊
I really had writers block for this one. And writers block usually leads to shitty imagines. I’m so sorry if this one isn’t what you wanted. But I swear I tried!
I also incorporated a little bit of ‘Confident’ into it since it does have a little to do with being foreign.

The whistle of a tune dragged on, so familiar to my ears. My ears that were currently occupied with the drowning sound of screaming - barely legal - adults, chugging there drinks while looking for a ‘good time’. 
The lights shining from the corners of the room, illuminating a brightly fluorescent colour around the room was really the only thing breaking this place from complete darkness, yet people still found themselves stumbling about as if they could not see what was in front of them properly.
But that was because they really couldn't see what was in front of them, but the dim light wasn’t to blame, it was the alcohol flooding there systems. Gee, people in LA where much different to people were I was from.
Back at home, the clubs were pumping and high with energy, but the vibes given out were usually friendly and welcoming. The clubs down here really gave me a sense of uneasiness, like if caught off guard at the wrong time, you would more then likely be kidnapped by one of the many bulky and mysterious looking guys in the club.
Like the one I was currently starring at. I mean, this guy didn’t even look like he was here to have a good time. In fact, he looked as if he were here strictly for business. The way he presented himself was intimidating. 
Shaved down hair, buzzed all around, a beard scruffy but short presented amongst his face. The tight, black tee he sported showing off his bulging muscles underneath, tensed as he crossed his arms over his chest.
He did not look like a force to be reckoned with.
Yet still, women too skinny to keep there liquor down walked past the man, giggling up with giddy eyes. As if there attempt to act cute would draw his attention over, but the man didn’t even spare them a glance. 
What would a man like that be doing in here anyways?
 As if reading my thoughts, the guys eyes wandered over to mine, causing me to instinctively whip around in my bar stool seat and glance the other direction. It wasn’t until a couple seconds later I found myself looking back at him, that I realised the reason he had spotted me wasn’t off pure luck, but rather, a cute, toned boy next to him was pointing him in my direction.
The large guy nodded, as if approving of something and that’s when panic  settled inside me. I had only been in the country for a whole of a week and I was already about to be kidnapped! 
Jesus take the wheel!
But before I could plan my escape in my head, the boy from earlier - the smaller one who had pointed me out - came strutting over and placed himself on the bar stool besides me.
The bartender was at his side in seconds, seeming as if the boy was a highly respected man. “A corona.” The boy commanded the bartender. 
It wasn’t until then, his face seemed to click in my head. The way he dressed, the similar features, his signature now shaved haircut. The ‘boy’ was none other then world wide pop sensation - Justin Bieber. And lets not mention he was staring right back at me.
“Miss? Another drink?” The sound of another bartenders voice had me wandering back to reality, confidence striding up in my system after seeing Justin stare at me with amusement in his eyes. “Yes, a sex on the beach for me.” I requested. “And put it on his tab.” 
The bartender glanced over at Justin, as if making sure it was alright. Justin seemed stunned, but nonetheless smirked and nodded.
“My tab?” Justin questioned from beside me, thanking the bartender who had retrieved his drink. “How do you know I have a tab?” 
“Don’t all you celebrities have one?” I spoke thick in my foreign accent. I seemed so out of place surrounded by all these Americans.
“Your accent.” He pointed out. “Your not from here are you?”
I shook my head vigorously, lifting my leg in its tight dress to cross it over the other. “No.”
“I like it.” He comments. “Where you from?” 
“Australia. Born and raised baby.” I spoke proudly, as if expressing my nationality would bring me more confidence. “But my parents are Lebanese.”
“An Australian - Arabic? That’s really different.” He stated, pausing for a few seconds before adding “I like different.” 
The smirk on my face was undeniably there, as I sipped the contents of my sex on the beach. I was quick to drown the cup, not realising that the entire time - Justin had been watching me.
“I heard you Australians like your alcohol, but can you all hold it down that well?” 
“Depends.” I smirked. “We all love a good beer, but hand us a vodka and we’ll be rolling on the floor.” 
Justin looked intrigued, obviously finding something about me worth talking about. But I was just getting started at this club and sitting around all night was not on my bucket list. 
“Speaking of floor, time to hit the one right over there.” I stood from the seat, readjusting my dress around my hips before making my way over to the crowded dance floor. 
I hadn’t known if Justin had said anything after that. The second I stood to walk away, all noise was drowned out by the music. The dance floor was flooding with drunk men and women. Some girls grinding up against other guys, sometimes the other way around. Hell! Some girls were grinding against other girls! It was chaos but just my type of party.
It wasn’t long before I had become one of those many girls. As I made my entrance on the dance floor, it took me a matter of 15 seconds to grab hold the attention of a hot drunken guy and began grinding my ass against him.
His hands slowly fell down to grasp my hips, squeezing the flesh as I bounced against him to the beat. He seemed to be enjoying my show a lot more then I’d thought considering the hard on I felt poking against my back but I mean, I wasn’t complaining. 
A hot guy in need of some relief? I’ll take it.
But yet suddenly, the feeling of the guy was stripped from my skin, leaving me dancing on my own. Tet I didn’t think much of it. A group of girls had joined me, and instead of being bummed about the loss of contact behind, I just decided to enjoy what was in front. 
All until I felt yet another presence behind me. The person slid there hands down my body, pushing my hips against there own, my back against there chest but I knew this wasn’t the previous guy. This one had a much firmer grip and seemed more manly.
“Tryna get away baby girl?” The voice growled in my ear. 
Justin.
 A smirk played against my face at his words, he obviously couldn’t get enough, so why not put on a show? 
My body twisted in his grasp, hands roaming his body as his flustered face came into view. One leg lifted, wrapping around his waist, the other stood on the ground. He wasted no time in pulling me closer, with one hand gripping the thigh around his waist.
“Why?” I questioned. 
“Why what?”
“Why out of all people are you here in this club with me? Look at all these pretty girls around you, what’s so interesting about me?” I just couldn’t help but wonder.
“I honestly don’t know. When you walked by you were the only one who caught me eye.”
Something about him made me giddy and I smiled up at him. Not a smirk. A genuine smile.
He starred down on me, admiring my face for a few moments and I just couldn’t help but do the same to him. He seemed so intrigued and it honestly confused me. I was different yes, but not special.
“I don’t even know your name and I already love your smile.” He whispered against my ear. 
“Well, It’s Y/N.” 
He smiled. “Y/N.” 
It fell of his tongue so gracefully. His own accent making it sound so unique.
“Well Y/N, In case you don’t know - I like an out of town girl.”
“Yeah?” I questioned. 
“Yeah.” He confirmed. “And anyone can tell that your an out of town girl.”
I hope its good enough...
