Opposites (Shuri x reader)

Part 38

My dad had left for work after our little get-together earlier, so Shuri decided to stay at home with me to watch a movie. We didn't cuddle or even touched each other for the whole time, I could see she was giving me some space and respecting my boundaries, but there were times when I would look at her and felt my whole body shivering at the thought of her being there and so far from me. 

"So..." she whispered looking at me with a mischievous look.

"What now...?" I smirked at her readjusting myself on the couch.

"I actually brought you something" she ran her hand through her hair and I noticed her getting a little nervous.

I stood still looking at her a bit confused while she slowly got up and made her way to the front door opening it and pulling something from outside.

"Shuri what the fu" I gasped as she came back with an embarrassed look on her face holding the most beautiful guitar I had ever seen in her arms making me get up.

"Now that I think about it...it's probably too much" she frowned her nose "But I saw how happy you were back in that bitchs room" she rolled up her eyes with a smirk on her lips "And I wanted to get you something"

"Oh man" I sighed holding the instrument in my hands "It's amazing!" I smiled at her "Are you trying to bribe me!?" I smirked at her.

"Is it working?" she tilted her head.

"Shut up" I said trying to contain the excitement in my voice before leaning in and kissing her cheek "thank you"

"C'mon... play something" She nodded with her head in my direction.

"Nah..." I bit my inner lip sitting down again still looking down at the guitar "It's not even tuned"

"Tune it then" She shrugged her shoulder sitting next to me stretching her arms behind her head. "You played for her but you won't do it for me?"

"You're being petty" I mumbled making her laugh "I can't remember any songs now..."

"Oh I know you're lying" she chuckled.

"Okay...there's one... But it's really embarrassing..." I whispered with my eyes on the floor.

"Why?!" 

"'Cause... it was the first song I ever learned on the guitar and it stucked..." I said looking again at her.

"Why is it embarrassing tho!?" she raised an eyebrow.

I looked into her eyes trying to figure out if I could tell her or not, maybe she would make fun of me... 

"C'mon..." she looked at me a little more seriously.

"Ugh...If you laugh I will make you leave...." I said "And you know I can do it" 

"Yeah yeah..." she shook her head "play".

"It's... a Taylor Swift song" I finally mumbled through my teeth feeling my cheeks turning red.

"Is a what now?!" She opened her eyes and I noticed a smile forming on her lips.

"BYE" I yelled at her laughing.

"No! Shit! I'm sorry!" she pressed her lips together leaning back on the couch and gesturing with her hand for me to play. 

"Just letting you know, that I was really into her when I was younger..." I tried to justify myself before letting my fingers run down the strings.

I kept playing casually looking up at her who was smiling at me, her eyes sparkling a little making me almost lose focus.

"I want to wear his initials on a chain around my neck,

not because he owns me

Because he really knows me,

Which is more than I could say,

I recall late November

Holding my breath, slowly I said

You don't need to save me,

But would you run away with me?"

She kept quiet for the whole song, and as I finally put down the guitar, I stood still looking at her waiting for something, but she only smiled at me.

"So yeah...it was the first song I learn.." I shrugged my shoulders leaning back on the couch.

"I liked it" she chewed on her inner lip "I really liked it"

"You liked a Taylor Swift song" I mocked her a little.

"No, I didn't like the Taylor Swift song, I liked you singing that specific Taylor Swift song" she frowned her nose "There's a difference... And also... you look really hot and cute playing it..."

"Oh hot and cute" I asked her raising an eyebrow as my eyes focused on her lips.

"Yeah...it's a weird mix I know" she whispered also staring at my lips.

Shit shit shit... I tried to calm down, but I just wanted to grab her and kiss her so bad...But, I didn't, I wouldn't do it... She had to earn it.
