singing in the shower

They see each other sometimes, across the parking lot, sometimes making small talk in the elevator, or passing by in the hallway, yet they've never really  talked. They think each other are wildly attractive, but never act on it.

One night though, they both hop in their respective showers, and he starts singing to a song. She hears him, as her shower is directly next to his, on the other side of the wall, and she joins him in song.

He stops in surprise, but she keeps singing. He marvels at the stranger's voice, then joins back in at the chorus, their voices a harmony over the noise of the showers. 

They see each other again the next day in the elevator, him going down, her coming up, yet they have no idea that they are neighbours, much less that they sang together the night before. They exchange polite "hello"s, and move on with their days. 

Two days later, she's singing in the shower, and he hears her. He joins into the song, and they sing together for the entire shower. Both leaving their separate showers with a smile.

They continue on like this, singing with each other to various songs, only in the shower. Their paths keep crossing, but they have no idea that the person who they check out in the parking lot is the same person who they sing in the shower with.

A few months later, the man hops in the shower, shivering at the cold water blasting him. He turns it up to hot water, and clicks play on his music, smiling to himself when Rewrite the Stars plays.

"You know I want youuuu," He grabs his shampoo bottle, using it as a microphone. "It's not a secret I try to keeppp."

The woman who lives in the next door apartment is also showering, and her eyes light up as she hears the song. She hums along, waiting for the female part, then sings. "You think it's easyyy, you think I don't want to run to youuu."

The man in the shower next door laughs softly at the woman's voice, excited to hear her again. He joins in. "All I want is to flyyyy with you, all I want is to fallll with you. So just give me allll of youuu!"

The woman's heart beats, hearing the other voice join hers. "And how do we rewrite the starss, say you were made to be minee,"

The man puts his hand on the wall, "And nothing can keep us apart, 'cause you are the one I was meant to findd."

The woman places her hand on her side of the wall, having no idea that the man opposite of her is doing the same thing. "It's up to you, and it's up to me, no one can say what we get to be."

"And why don't we rewrite the stars, changing the world to be ourss."

The woman sighs, "You know I want you, it's not a secret I try to hide. But I can't have you-" she pauses, "Wait, why can't I have you?"

The man pauses the music. "What?"

"You wanna go out for coffee?"

The man freezes. 

"I mean, only if you want to."

"Uh," The man stutters. "Yes, of course."

"Great." The woman smiles, finishing her shower in happy silence.
