Eyes Behold

31. Eyes Behold

For the first time , concert was a torture to him. He couldn't help but glance at the door again and again. Jordan just couldn't wait. Rose was taking too much time. Her friends too , but it mattered less. They were all good , Jordan agreed to that , but they were not Rose. That's the explanation he found everytime he nagged his brain for one and now he had come to terms with it.

The concert hall today was the living definition of huge. The stage was in the middle surrounded by towering racks of seats. The stage was the only part which was well lit. The rest of the racks had fans with their mobile torches on and swaying from one side to the other. The hall was a sight to behold.

Jordan was looking as if he was standing in a sea of stars , right in the middle.  The whole scene was so angelic that Rose couldn't help but gasp at the sight. That's exactly when Jordan turned his head and his eyes locked with the eyes he had grown to love now. He drew a quick breath in and his mouth split up into a wide grin. The whole crowd went into a frenzy and Jordan immediately broke the eye contact. He didn't want to push Rose into this world , yet .

Rose was flustered as she was continuously being nudged by Stephanie and Catherine. Jordan felt as if a large boulder had been lifted up from his shoulders. His mood lifted up and the ever so irritating concert now seemed much more lively .

That's when he realised, he realised it that he likes his little one a lot , too much that it might even touch love. Might. He didn't want to go that far yet so he just controlled his thoughts bringing them back to the present. But he couldn't supress the longing to do this.

"  PARIS !!! HOW ARE WE ?"

A series of loud shouts and squeals resonated . Jordan glanced over at Rose who was directly looking at him shouting his name. His eyes twinkled and his smile widened. Rose was escatic but confused. She saw something in his eyes , she hadn't seen till now.

" Paris! The city of love. Today standing here I'm so so so happy that I can't tell you. And so-"

He was cut by loud shouts and screams again. So he repeated himself.

" And so today as I stand here , I would like to dedicate a song to a particular someone I met a few weeks ago . "

Another set of shouts cut him off yet again. He glanced over at Rose who was standing with her eyes wide open , almost bulging out. She was seeing where this was going but she wasn't ready to accept it .

' It couldn't be me, could it be ? Nah ' she thought , but even she wasn't satisfied, it was way too obvious.

Next to her the girls were squealing like mad people nudging pushing and even toppling her over. It seemed as if Rose was being declared the heir to the throne of England. Ryder and Carlos were busy holding them back . They had gone berserk.

" I had written this song last year. This year it seems I've found the person most suitable for it. "

" This one is for you LITTLE ONE ."

With that said , he started strumming the strings for his world famous ' Eyes Behold'.

"Letting me free of my remorse
The beautiful colour that your eyes behold
Giving me a reason to hold
To my life which is icy cold"

He sung as he slowly made his way towards Rose. He looked into her eyes telling her that the colour of her eyes often brought him calm even in the most difficult moments of his life. He told her in his life which is full of pretence and cold people , she brought him warmth , she brought him home.

"Don't you let me go
Hold on to me a bit longer
Let the things go slow
Cause you and only you make me stronger"

He said out his insecurities. He didn't want her to leave him like his mother did, like his father did. He wanted her , he needed her. And for that he was ready to let things go slow and let them savour each moment slowly.

"When I look into your eyes
And hold your hands tight
The whole world in my sight
Lights out and you become bright

So come closer to me
Let the whole world see
The love your heart stores
And the magic your eyes behold "

He let out his emotions relaying it to her in the way he could do it best , by singing it out to her. He told her the control she has on him , the effect she has on him just by simply holding his hand. He let the emotions reign him . All the love, care , adoration was left bare for the world to see in his eyes , his eyes that were looking at the ones which always behold him .

Rose was awestruck. She couldn't take her eyes off of him. He had dedicated it to her. His most famous and successful song to her, to his little one. She couldn't help the tears that flowed down her cheeks but she didn't bother to wipe them off.

She just wanted him to know how greatly he affected her . She knew she couldn't do it through words. So she let her emotions take control and left them bare on her face , in her eyes for him to know and he knew , he could see it and it was the best moment in his life. Nothing could top this.

She was frozen at her place unable to comprehend anything else other than his voice. She couldn't see the awestruck faces of Catherine and Stephanie, she couldn't hear the squealing Claire and Amelia. All she could just see was her Mr. Grumpy and could hear was his voice. It was just him .

Jordan was satisfied with her reaction. He didn't like the tears though but the twinkle in her eyes and the soft smile dancing on her face overpowered it all.

To him she was looking angelic even in her messy bun with a few strands of hair swaying to and fro on her face. Even if she was wearing a baggy crumpled shirt tied at the front in a knot , she was looking better than the thousands who were jumping there in dresses or shining outfits . As long as she was his little one , everything was perfect.

All through the song he would just glance briefly at the audience but most of the time , his eyes were on her , only her . He winked at her finishing off the song with the last beat. The whole hall was in an uproar. This was by far the most memorable performance of his.

This is when Rose broke out of her trance. Finally she was able to concentrate on her friends who were dancing around as if they had been crowned the royalty of England. She immediately turned red and she was sure to make it seem like she didn't know these six people who were dancing like monkeys right now.

She even went far enough to take a few steps back to seem to merge into the squealing crowd behind. Even they were better than the maniac people she called friends.

" Jordi -boi is a goner Eve . Tell me what did you do to make him like this ?" Claire slung her arm over her shoulder wiggling her eyebrows at her.

" Jordi -boi ?" Rose laughed out loud.

" Hey! Don't change the topic . Tell us what did you do or should we ask him directly. "

By now the monkey dance was over and  everyone was hovering over Rose.

" And little one ? Oh my my Roe. When did that happen?"

Rose was bewildered, flushed and couldn't say anything.  Suddenly the bodyguards who had escorted them here held all the six back giving Rose space to breathe. She looked over at Jordan who had already started with the next song. He wasn't looking at her but a look at his lopsided smirk , she could make out the bodyguards mystery. A small smile crept on her face followed by another blush .

Jordan glanced over at her, satisfied with his work. Oh ! Only if she knew what effect that blush had on him and how much he loved it . Only if she knew what he felt for her. Only if .
