If anyone would like to listen what I listened to when writing this:
• Pull up to mi bumper - Konshens, J Capri
•lose control - meduza, Becky Hill, good boys
• Runaway - Galantis
• Million voices - Otto Knows
• Freaks - Timmy Trumpet
• Five more hours - Chris brown • Where have you been - Rihanna
They say where words fail, music speaks. If that's the case, I need to hear what Pull Up To Mi Bumper is saying to Lizzo and Chris Evans considering they've been grinding on the crowded dance floor for the past few minutes.
"Get yours, girl." I mutter before taking a swig of my drink, letting the burn slip down my throat.
I'll be honest, when I was asked to DJ the night of the Marvel wrap party, I sure didn't think it would be as entertaining as it had been. If I was allowed to take pictures I'd of made a fortune.
It's only about 12:30 and I've already witnessed Lizzo and Chris Evans putting on a show for the ages, Lizzie Olsen has been stood on top of the bar singing along to Rihanna, and surprisingly RDJ ripping his shirt off when belting the chorus of Runaway. That was one I really didn't see coming.
But with all that said, this is what clubs are for and what the power of music can do to people. There's currently hundreds of people who are seen as super professionals, who have worked hard for god knows how long to perfect their career, currently letting loose in Club Apex. No stress, no thinking about work, no worrying about any potential hangovers tomorrow. Just a group of people letting loose and living in the moment. It was probably the best think about my job.
No, that's a total lie.
The best part is free drinks and the hot girls that come in. But my first answer felt a lot less sleazy.
"Excuse me, are you taking any requests?" A faint voice from my left side shouts.
Absolutely not.
I shuffle over to the left side of the booth as the next song I already preloaded came on, meaning I had about 3 more minutes till I had to actually do some real work. The booth in Apex is raised above the dance floor with stairs leading to it which are usually cornered off after one too many people waltzed their way up here and annoyed me too many times.
Two people were stood there waiting with giant smiles on their faces. The real question now is do I play it cool and pretend I don't know Zendaya and Florence Pugh? We'll see. My mouth betrays me a lot.
I felt my eyebrows furrow in confusion and jut my chin out, signalling for them to repeat what they said. Zendaya smiled and pointed to Florence who put her hands on the divider of the booth and stood on her tip toes.
Girl is small.
"Are you taking any requests?" She repeated herself again.
I gave her a thumbs up. "Sure." I told you, my mouth betrays me.
The bass dropped on the song that was playing which timed itself with the smoke and confetti machines located around the dance floor causing everyone to cheer. I looked down to Florence's lips which were moving but I couldn't hear a single thing that was said. I stuck my hands out and frowned before pointing to my ear, trying to signal that I couldn't hear her. Her smile widens as I see her grip the divider harder before letting one hand go and reaching up and over to grab the back of my neck and pull me closer to her. She pushed her head next to mine before turning so her lips were next to my ear. "Can you play Five More Hours?" She shouted in my ear, sending chills down my spine. The husk in her voice is something else, even when she's shouting down my ear drum.

I nodded as she still held my head in her hands before turning my own mouth to her ear. "Chris Brown and Deorro?" I asked. I already knew the answer...but if Florence Pugh had her face next to yours, you'd be doing anything you could to keep her there too.
"Yeah!" She shouted excitedly and let go of my head to give me a thumbs up and a grin.
I smiled back at her before motioning with my hand for her to come close again, which she quickly obeyed. This time I put my hand on the side of her head, bringing her face next to mine so I could talk in her ear. "I can play it but it'll be in like, 20 minutes or something. That okay?" Florence nodded against my head before pulling away and sending me one more smile before she turned around, both her and Zendaya making their way down the stairs, arms linked, both girls throwing their heads back in laughter. I watched them both walk away.
Obviously.
I turned back to the booth and put my headphones over my ears ready to get back to work. As the preloaded song started to finish up I mixed in a generic bass build up before adding vocals of No Money, allowing the two to blend together before again extending the bass build up before letting it drop. I always try to vary what I do in the booth, messing with two many songs pisses people off, this isn't Tomorrowland, people want to dance and sing their heart out, and part of that is linked to what they know, which is why we have a set night of the week which is for the more party style of DJing, lots of remixes, lots of bass, as close to a rave as you can get, and then we have the rest of the nights which are for more typical clubbing, where most people like what they know.
After 15 minutes or so I loaded up Five More Hours for Florence followed by a few other songs.
"Need a drink, Cam?" Charlie, one of the bartenders, yelled from the top of the stairs. I gave him a thumbs up and watched the crowd on the dance floor again, not able to contain the smile on my face when I caught sight of Florence in the middle of the dance floor singing at the top of her voice.
The night continued much the same, making sure music carried on being played to match the atmosphere, watching the crowd, getting people hyped up which meant more money for the club. The usual. My shift ended at 03:00, meaning I had exactly 30 minutes left so I chose to start loading up the songs for the rest of the night.
"I didn't peak in high school, I'm still out here getting cuter." I sung along quietly to myself. Out the corner of my eye I could see hands waving from outside the booth by the stairs so I lifted my head to see what was going on, grinning when I see Florence standing there with a smile covering her face.
Cute little nose scrunch.
"You again?" I shouted with a grin as I made my way over to the barrier, resting my arms on the top of it as Florence threw her head back in laughter.
Someone's a little tipsy.
"I know, right? I'm such a pain." She yelled back, her eyes practically twinkling as she moved closer to talk into my ear again.
I shrugged. "I'll allow it. Just don't tell Hemsworth, he's been trying to come up here all night." She laughs and throws a wink my way before resting one of her hands on my forearms.
"Your secret is safe with me." She confirmed. "This might sound weird, right. But I want a song playing but I don't know what it's called, I just know the melody?" It's not the first time I've had that said to me, yet another reason people aren't allowed up here anymore. I'd usually tell them i'm not their personal sound machine, but, like I said, my mouth betrays me.
"Okay. Uhh, come up." I say as I pull the divider open and she takes the last step up. I stuck my hand out for her which she accepted and used to steady herself on her heels. She smiled at me gratefully before looking out at the crowd, waving a little at who I assume are her friends. I nudge her arm gesture my head to one of my laptops. "What's it go like?"
For the second time tonight she put her hand on the back of my head and pulled my head down as she stood on her tip toes so her mouth reaches my ear. She's so close I almost get distracted by her lips brushing against my skin as she yells 'Duh duh duh' down my ear. I let her do it a few times as I I repeat it in my head and nodding my head in time with the melody before pulling away and holding a finger up and picking up my headphones and putting one to my ear as I search a song before passing my headphones to her and placing them over her head. She turned to me with pure joy on her face and nodded. I smiled back before pointing to the screen on my computer to show her the name so she knew for next time.
I expected her to walk off like last time now she's got the song in the stack but she rested the palm of her hands on the edge of the table and looked out at the crowd, pure joy covering her face. "You have quite a view up here." She yelled.
I heard her with ease making me look at her with confusion. Has she just been pulling me close to her for no reason? God, I hope so.
"Yeah, it's a great people watching spot."
"Seen anything good?" She asked as she looked at me.
"I mean, I've spent half the night trying to guess if Lizzo and Chris evans are gonna bone or not."
She laughed loudly. "She better. We've had numerous girl talks in the bathroom." She paused for a beat as she turned and looked at me. "I'm Florence, by the way."
I smiled at her and stuck my hand out for her to shake, mostly just because I wanted to touch her again. "I know. I'm Camden. Nice to meet you, Florence."
She bit her bottom lip slightly and reached her hand out to meet mine. "Pleasure."
So, again, same story. A few tiny changes, once i've got these older chapters uploaded then I'll start uploading the chapters that have not been put up yet. Hope you guys are well. Tra tra
