One Song Or One Love

Chapter 4

CHAPTER FOUR

Now I know how it feels. I know how it is to kiss Chloe's warm lips. I know how it is to kiss someone you love. Someone I've been dreaming about for the last years. Someone I've been seeing as my best friend the whole time.

I was always too afraid to think about this. I didn't allow my mind to even think about taking our friendship to the next step.

But the thing is that I don't know where this next step is taking us. The only thing I know for sure is that I liked it.

I knew she could feel my desire for her. It was like an exploding bomb of emotions that I never knew I was hiding in my heart. I could feel her passion and I was sure she was also dreaming about this for a long time.

She pulled back and broke the kiss, looking into my eyes as always. She gave me a smile and came back closer. "Sing me that song." She whispered in my ear. "Its written about me, isn't it?"

I giggled and looked at her beautiful face. "Yeah, it is."

"Sing it then." She whispered joyfully. I looked down at my hands, and I realized they were shaking. God knows where this tense is coming from.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. It felt like my voice was gone after the kiss. It was like that kiss turned my world upside down. And I admit it; It really did.

I sang the words slowly, and I opened my eyes, facing Chloe. Her eyes were stuck on me, just like during the rehearsal. The way she looked at me was unbelievable.

I stopped singing and touched her hand.

"What's wrong?" She asked me.

I gently kissed her hand and looked back at her shaking my head. "Nothing. I just want to enjoy this moment between us." I whispered and gave her a satisfied look.

"We won't let everybody know about this. Promise?" She said, while she was looking down.

What? She doesn't want anyone to know? "I promise but...why?"

She breathed in and held my left hand with both her hands. She seemed confused and sure at the same time. "There are no couples allowed in the Young Artist Competition. I know this might sound ridiculous but it is a rule." She said quietly.

I raised my right eyebrow and giggled sarcastically. Is she serious, or should I take it as a joke? I kept staring at her like an idiot, trying to figure out what she meant.

"We have to pretend we're friends until the competition is over. John is the only person of the industry that we can trust." She explained.

I looked at her with a frozen look. She was serious...but that's not the thing.

We have to pretend we're still friends. Does that mean that we're officially no friends anymore? Could she really...

"You mean that we're... Really a couple now?" I said amazed. Every word felt like honey drops on my tongue.

"I want us to be like this." She whispered.

I automatically smiled and headed for another  kiss. I couldn't stop smiling as my lips were gently kissing hers. I couldn't keep my excitement. My happiness.

Maybe miracles are real. Maybe this is a miracle. Maybe this is real.

I slowly started singing in her ear, and I let her face sink in my arms.

Days go by very fast. They're just like yellow leaves which get blown away by the wind during the fall. But it's not fall, is it?
