Places (A Thomas Brodie-Sangster Fanfiction)

You Play?

Natalia's POV

I take my phone out of my pocket and take a picture.

"Let me take a picture of you, Natalia."

I smirk. "Only if I can take a picture of you and leak it on Facebook."

"Fine." I hand him my phone and smile. "There."

"Your turn!" I take my phone and click a couple pictures.

"One together?"

"Don't push it."

"Fine."

"I can leak a picture, right?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

I start to quietly sing. "Every time I see your bubbly face, I get the tingles in a silly place."

Thomas joins in. "It starts in my toes and it tingles my noes, wherever it goes I always know. You make me smile, baby stay her a while."

"You're brilliant, Natalia."

"Thanks." I blush and try to hide it. Thomas smiles.

Suddenly, the wheel stops. People must be getting off. It turns and stops a couple times until we get off.

"That was fun."

"Sure."

"Would you like to get some lunch?"

"Please. Is there a pizza place around here?"

"You want to get a Papa Murphy's so we can go back home?"

"That sounds good."

We walk back to Thomas' car and get in. He drives to Papa Murphy's.

"Meat lovers?"

"Perfect."

"I'll be right back." He goes in and I just wait in the car.

Some guy, obviously drunk, approaches the car.

"Heey preddy girl. You wanna sip? Or some sugar?" He slurs

I ignore him.

"Did you heear meee? Come on oud or I'll... I'll..."

"Hey! Get the bloody hell away from her you *bleeeeep* (censored)!"

The guy takes off.

"Thanks Thomas."

"Did he hurt you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Let's just get to your house and get that pizza in the oven." He gets in and we drive back in silence.

"Home sweet home!"

"Pizza!"

"And pizza!" We go in the house laughing. "Let me pop this in the oven." He puts the pizza in and sets the timer.

"Now what?"

"I want to show you something." He takes my hand and pulls me down the hall. He opens a door and I walk in.

My mouth drops to the ground.

This room was full of instruments. A cello, an electric bass, a grand piano, a violin, and a bass you would find in an orchestra.

"Oh my God."

He smiles. "Fantastic isn't it. I can only play the electric bass."

I nod. I sit at the piano. "Can I try?"

"Sure."

Thomas' POV

I thought she would play a simple scale, but no. Natalia starts playing Für Elise on the piano flawlessly.

Wow.

"Did I leave music on the piano?"

"No, I played that from memory, but you have music?

"You play?"

"I dabble. Can I try the cello?"

"Sure." I wonder what she's going to play. She starts playing a familiar tune. Then starts to sing.

"I need another story. Somethin' to get off my chest, my life gets kinda boring. Need somethin' I can confess.

"Until my sleeves are stained red, from all the truth that I've said."

My jaw drops as she keeps singing.

"Tell me what you want to hear, somethin' that will light my ears. So sick of all the insincere. So I'm gonna give all my secrets away."

I clap. "Amazing, fantastic, beautiful!"

She blushes. "Thanks."

"You only dabble? You just played an entire cover by memory!"

"I liked playing, so I practiced."

"You have one?"

"A cello? No, I would stay after school and use the one that belonged to the orchestra."

She's beautiful, unique, and insanely talented. She's incredible. She's so many things. She makes my heart go a hundred miles a hour when she blushes. When she smiles, fireworks go off in my chest-

Stop it!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Pizza!" We simultaneously shout. We run through the hall to the kitchen. I pull the pizza out of the oven. It's already sliced so I grab two plates.

I serve two slices for both of us. We take a bite.

"Hot!" We both drop the pizza. She smiles.

Stupid fireworks.

We eat our pizza until we're stuffed.

"So, what do you want to do, Natalia?"

"Can I go back and play the instruments again?"

"Sure, they never get used."

She grins ear to ear.

"Thanks." She runs off like a little kid.

I sit there grinning. Just the sound of her voice makes me happy.

I go over to the instrument room and stand outside the door. She's playing 'Stay With Me' by Sam Smith on the piano.

I sit down and lean against the wall. I listen to her play for a while. She starts playing 'Drops of Jupiter' by Train on the piano and sings. Everything about her is beautiful.

I quietly sing along. She's good. I mean, concert, maybe even professional good.

I'm falling for her.
