Chapter 53

Alycia's Pov.

"Wait...you're playing the song for me now?" I asked with a huge grin and he chuckled. "On your guitar but it's not finished whatsoever. It's just a couple of lyrics. I just...liked it and I haven't shown it to anyone yet. So I wanted to show it to you. Maybe get some help with those lyrics too." He said with a wink and I smiled before following him to my living room.

He grabbed my guitar from its stand in the corner and sat on the couch.

"C'mere." He said with a little smile and I realized i'm still standing.

I smiled and sat down on the couch as he started strumming chords.

"So...I don't think I want much guitar in it at all so it won't sound much like this but...you get it. Okay, so there's only a few lyrics." He said and started strumming and the sound was pretty.

He had his phone on his leg and was looking down at it, I guess looking at the lyrics he had typed down.

"Sunflower" He started off singing and I immediately smiled.

I adore his voice so much.

"Sunflower
My eyes, want you more than a melody
Let me inside
Wish I could get to know you"

He smirked down at the guitar as he watched himself play and started the next part.

"Sunflowers
Sometimes
Keep it sweet in your memory
I was just tongue-tied"

He tapped the guitar with his fingers as he played to make a little beat and I smiled.

"I don't wanna make you feel bad
But I've been trying hard not to talk to you
Sunflower (Sunflower, sunflower)"

He sang the last little part as a bit of an echo before slowing down the playing and looking at me.

"That's all i've got." He said and I know I look insane with such a big smile on my face but I loved that. And I love how he showed me first.

"That was so pretty Harry." I said genuinley and he chuckled. "Was hoping you wouldn't take offense to that last part." He said with a smirk and I immediately felt confused.

"What?"

He strummed the guitar and sang again.

"I don't wanna make you feel bad
But I've been trying hard not to talk to you"

Wait, it's about me?

"You don't wanna talk to me?" I asked and suddenly I did feel a little offended. He shook his head with a little smile. "No no, it's how I felt in the very beginning. I tried to stay away from you for those few weeks. I was trying hard not to talk to you. Didn't work but.." He said with a nonchalant shrug and I bit the inside of my lip to stop the smiling.

"Wish I could get to know you..." I repeat his lyrics before continuing, "awe did you write a song for me?" I said with a dramatic cute pout. "Oh shush, you write about me too." "Yeah. I do. Started writing one today actually." I admitted and his eyes lit up.
