Sam decided it was a good idea to relax. It was almost Christmas break, and he had an easy grade load for finals week. Walking into Bootleggers, he ordered some food and a pitcher of beer and sat down. As he watched those on stage he smiled, he hadn't remembered the last time he was up on stage, so he decided he would give it a go. After downing two cups of his beer, he moved to the stage.

Picking the song, he alerted the person in charge and grinned as he stared out at the crowd. When the music picked up, he began to sing.

"We're both looking for something. We've been afraid to find. It's easier to be broken. It's easier to hide..."

Taylor had been hanging out with some friends from the academy. They were all in a study group together and after a long study session they all decided to let off some steam. They shared a few rounds of beer and then left. Taylor was the last one to go. She was just picking her coat up to leave, when she turned her attention to the stage. She couldn't believe what she saw. She placed her coat back down, a big smile appearing on her face as she watched Samuel James sing.

Sam enjoyed the stage, and those two beers had him feeling warm. As he was on stage he had an air about it, something different from his usual countenance. He picked some people out in the crowd to sing to, focusing on them making them feel like he was singing only to them, "Looking at you, holding my breath. For once in my life, I'm scared to death. I'm taking a chance,letting you inside." He put his hand on his heart and then took the mic from the stand and moved off the stage to weave through the crowd.

"Feeling alive all over again. As deep as the sky, under my skin. Like being in love, she says. For the first time. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'm feeling right where I belong. With you tonight. Like being in love. To feel for the first time," he winked as he sang, at an older woman who grinned at him.

Taylor watched, completely fascinated as the song went on. This was not the Professor James she knew. He was always more outgoing when onstage in class, but this... this was something else. She laughed as she saw the way he was moving around, winking and smiling at the girls. She abandoned her spot at the bar and made her way towards the stage. She let out a scream over the crowd.

Sam moved back to the stage and started walking in another direction, when he heard a scream over the crowd. Turning his head, he noticed Taylor and just smiled. He then spun where he was, doing a little dance before he walked over to where she was and started to sing to her, "The world that I see inside you. Waiting to come to life. Waking me up to dreaming. Reality in your eyes," he switched the mic from one hand to the other.

"Looking at you. Holding my breath. For once in my life. I'm scared to death. I'm taking a chance. Letting you inside." He then repeated the chorus and went into the end of the song.

"We're crashing. Into the unknown. We're lost in this. But it feels like home," he then took Taylor's hand and spun her into his chest before spinning her back out and moved back to stand up on the stage.

"I'm feeling alive all over again. As deep as the sky that's under my skin. Like being in love, she says, for the first time. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right. Where I belong with you tonight. Like being in love to feel for the first time." He finished the song with a bow, and a kiss to the audience who were clapping like mad.

Taylor's smile widened as he made his way to her. She danced as he sang, jumping up and down, and loving it like all the other girls were.

When the song was over Taylor clapped, then cupped her hands around her mouth, screaming.

"Samuel James, the rock star! Who knew?" she laughed greeting him as he got off the stage.

Sam had a huge smile on his face as he hopped off the stage. He was greeted by Taylor and he laughed, "Please. No autographs," he joked.

"Even teachers have their guilty pleasures. Mine happens to be singing to lovely folks who may or may not be heavily intoxicated."

Taylor laughed,

"Wow, one song and five minutes of fame and you are already letting it get to your head.

She folded her arms, a smile on her face.

"Well, I have to say I am very impressed."

He bowed, "Thank you. Thank you." He then motioned for her to take a seat at his table. He poured himself another cup of his beer.

"You just get here? Can I offer you a drink or something to eat?" He pointed to the beer and the pizza that was sitting there.

"I was actually just getting ready to leave, before you came up. So glad I didn't though," she smiled.

Taylor looked over at his table.

"I definitely could eat something. Let me just grab my stuff from the bar and I'll meet you at the table." She smiled again at him, before walking through the crowd to get to the bar. She grabbed her coat and purse, then pushed her way back to Sam.

Sam grinned, "I'll be waiting."

He then took a seat at his table and downed his beer, pouring himself another and took a piece of his pizza while he waited for her. He put a plate in front of her seat as well as a glass of beer and smiled when she returned.

"The crowd is insane tonight isn't it? Did you make it back in one piece?"

Taylor placed her stuff at Sam's table.

"I think so," she pretended to check herself over.

"I guess your performance just riled all the girls up."

Sam grinned and looked her over, "I think you're all there."

Taking a gulp of his beer he chuckled, "I could have done horribly and they would have loved it. Most of the people here are drunk."

"Well I'm not drunk, not yet anyway," she gave him a smile.

"And I think you sounded pretty good."

"Well then! Drink up!", he joked, "I admit, I may be a bit tipsy, beer gets me drunk pretty fast."

He then nodded, "Thanks.
