Symphonies (5 of 6)

I was set on his lap, my arms wrapped around his shoulders, our lips molded with one another.

The room was only illuminated by the candles surrounding us and the rose petals were scattered everywhere.

I was literally on cloud nine right now. I couldn't be any happier that Ben had asked me what had been on my mind a few days ago too.

Not only were we in sync when it came to music, but our minds and hearts came together as well.

"Wait, wait. I.. I'm sorry to ruin the mood and all but you kinda have to put something on again. I'm sorry I just can't miss the opportunity again." Ben says as he hands his shirt for me to wear.

I slowly nod, taking the shirt from his hands and shrugging it over myself, covering my body.

I raise a brow at him as he sets me beside him on the bed and grabs his guitar from the corner of his room.

What was he up to now?

"What's going on, Benny?" I ask and he gives me a shy smile as he kneels infront of me with one leg forward and sets the guitar on his knee.

Was he going to play a song for me?

"I-I couldn't let go of this moment again. When I planned confessing my feelings to you, I wanted to do this for you and that obviously didn't happen. You know why." He says and I laugh as I recall that particular Valentines day.

Of course I still remembered. It was the day he had told me he liked me, our anniversary.

Our first kiss.

"Benny, you're too cheesy." I say and he lets out a chuckle as he starts to play.

He starts to pluck at his guitar strings and I realize he's playing a solo.

Not just any solo.

He had played one of the solos I had wrote when we first started playing.

When I had first met him.

I had been trying to teach it to him for a while and I can't believe he had mastered and remembered the tune.

"Oh, Benny. You remembered." I say and fall even more in love with him as he nears the end of the solo.

You've got to admit that it was kinda hot when a boy plays music just for you.

He stares up at me in nervousness as he finishes and I smile down at him, clapping my hands and tearing up a bit.

"I love you, Kelly." He says and I nod, wiping at my tears, bending down and taking his face in my hands, pressing a kiss to his lips.

He kisses me back and I pull away before chuckling down at him.

"I love you too, Ben. That was amazing. I can't believe you remembered my solo." I say and he chuckles before setting his guitar down and swiftly bringing me down on his lap on the bed.

He kisses up my neck and sighs before grinning up at me.

"Of course I do. You don't know how much I had already fell for you when I first heard you play. You were perfect, Kels. You still are." He says and I press my lips back to his.

Ben was absolutely the sweetest. I didn't know what I did in my past life for me to get a boyfriend like this.

He was too much.

He helps me remove the shirt I still have on and throws it behind me below the bed.

Our bare chests are glued to each other as I wrap my arms around him and continue to kiss him like there's no tomorrow. It was as if we were in a frenzy or something.
