Chapter 9

*obviously the song played isnt one that was created by Tarian, it was created by Niall Horan. Its called: "Put A Little Love On Me" only a more metallic version of it*

"My dearrr nieeecceee! Can you play me one of your beautiful songs?", Cynthia said playfully, her eyebrows dancing up and down. Tarian sighed, running a hand through her wavy black hair as she said, "Auntie.. I stopped making.. music 4 years ago...".

"What?! Why?"

"Auntie... because I became Queen"

"Queen? Oh yes yes, Queen. Im sorry dear, I forgot about that"

"It's alright Auntie, I'll play you a song alright?", Tarian said gently as she patted Cynthia's thigh. Cynthia smiled and squealed, cupping her cheeks as she pressed a kiss onto her cheeks. Tarian chuckled and peeled her hands off of her face as she said, "okay! Okay Auntie, let me go get my guitar".

Amira watched as she walked out of the living room with a raised brow. She turned to Ronaldo and leaned over to him whispering, "She used to make music? But isn't she the Queen? I thought that type of stuff was like forbidden?". Ronaldo nodded and said, "Yep, and she was bloody brilliant at it too, well when she was able to make it. Her parents didnt care much for it, if she promised to keep it as a habit and not lose sight of her true role whuch was that of Queen". Amira noticed the sadness that was buried deep in his serious tone as he said that, but she was able to pick it out. 

She hummed, deciding that was a sensitive topic and  watched as Tarian came back with a cherry red electric guitar in one hand and an AMP in her other .

Cynthia clapped excitedly as Tarian plugged the AMP into an outlet in the wall. "Can you play that one song..? Ehhhhh... t-the one you wrote for that beautiful girl.. eh her name was uhhhh... Vicky? No no.. thats not it.. ehh.. OH! OH! Devika!". Ronaldo's eyes widened as he said warningly yet gently, "Ma'am.. I dont think that's a good idea..".

Tarian put her hand up and said dismissively, "Its alright Ron" before turning to Cynthia and said, "I'll play it for you auntie". Cynthia beamed, her smile was so bright it almost brought tears to Tarian's eyes as she sat down and tuned the guitar. Cynthia, Amira and Ronaldo sat in awe as Tarian strummed the strings flawlessly, playing the riff of "Back in Black", by ACDC.

"You guys ready to be blown away?", Tarian says with a smirk. All of them nodded as Tarian  rolled her shoulders and let out a relaxed breath. She placed her fingers on the neck of the guitar, as she strummed the strings, as she sung softly, "We fight, we get high holding on to love, We came down 'cause there was nothing holding us. Is it wrong that I still wonder where you are? Is it wrong that I still don't know my heart? Are you all dressed up but with nowhere to go? Are your tears falling down when the lights are low? Another Friday night tryna put on a show. Do you hate the weekend 'cause nobody's calling? I've still got so much love hidden beneath this skin, So darling.."

Tarian closed her eyes and strummed a little harder, her fingers switching between chords as she sung meaningfully, "Put a little love on me, And put a little love on me. When the lights come up and there's no shadows dancing, I look around as my heart is collapsing. 'Cause you're the only one I need
To put a little love on me, We wrote and we wrote. 'Til there were no more words. We laughed and we cried, Until we saw our worst. Is it wrong that I still wonder where you are?
Is it wrong that I still don't know my heart?". Cynthia rocked back and forth, her hands on her chest, her eyes filling up with tears of pride and happiness.

" Are you all dressed up but with nowhere to go? Are your tears falling down when the lights are low? Another Friday night tryna put on a show. Do you hate the weekend 'cause nobody's calling? I've still got so much love hidden beneath this skin. Will someone, Put a little love on me, yeah. Put a little love on me. When the lights come up and there's no shadow's dancing, I look around as my heart is collapsing. 'Cause you're the only one I need
To put a little love on me", Tarian sung with a low hum accompanying her brazen voice as her fingers worked musical wonders on the guitar leaving Amira and even Ronaldo in awe.
