A Modern Fairytale

The Music Club

"What did you say!?"Stephanie asked excitedly as soon as I told them Zimar finally asked me out on a date.
"I said I’ll think about it and let him know", I replied for which I earned a frown from Stephanie.
"Are you playing hard to get?” she asked sounding rude as if I did a mistake.
“Of course not. I really wanted time to figure out if he’s worth a try” said I with a glare.
"You kidding me? You know how many girls out there are dying to have him! He has everything you want in a guy!”she almost shouted as if keeping him wait was a crime.
“Its not a rule to like what the majority likes, Steph. It is true that he seems a nice person but not nice enough to go on a date” I said which again earned me an ugly look from her.
I myself couldn’t figure out why I’m reluctant to give him a solid answer. Even though he seems to me like my ideal prince charming, something in me was not yet ready to accept it. Stephanie kept trying to persuade me to say yes to him so I decided to go out and get some fresh air after a boring history class. 
I was heading to the library passing the music club cabin when I saw Ariana inside. Seeing her after some time gave life to the butterflies in my tummy. To me she looked prettier. Alas, the butterflies were killed when Harry stepped into my beautiful frame. That was the first time I saw him for real. I must admit he looked better than in the photos. He was about to kiss her when she spotted me watching and stopped him. I felt hot all of a sudden now that both of them were looking at me and I stood there petrified not knowing what to do.
Arry came out of the cabin while Harry watched from inside.
“Is there anything I could do for you?” she asked and it sounded to me as “give us some peace and get lost!” I was about to say no and leave when I saw Harry waiting for her girl to come back so he can continue what he was about to do. Suddenly the devil inside me started to take control of me.
"I wanna sign up for this club. I’m keen on learning music” I blurted out and was surprised with my own words. She stared at me with a questioning look yet asked me to come in.
For a second I felt victorious. Now harry can’t kiss her yayy! I applauded myself. Arry produced me some papers and asked me to fill it. I somehow managed to fill the application with some lies here and there for the questions related to my music experience and interest. She read it still with her questioning face.
“you can join this weekend, I think Zimar will be able to give you the assistance you need” she said and I immediately rejected. “No! I need you!” I almost shouted too loud and both Ariana and Harry looked at me like I was insane.
“I don’t have the time to give personal coaching to anyone. Zimar is one of the vice presidents of this club and have good experience with music. You’ll have a lot to learn from him” she said and gave her sweet smile which made me even more furious.
"I said I need YOU to teach me and I do NOT take no for an answer” said I with my temper rising.
“Excuse me? I’m the president of this club and I’ll be making the decisions here! If you can’t comply you’re very much free to leave” she said giving me a deathly glare that actually scared me. This was the first time she has talked to me that rude that it just triggered my tears to pour down but I controlled myself with all my might. I felt like trash there sitting in front of two beautiful people who think I’m wasting their time. I cursed myself for my impulsive behavior and collected myself. With a voice well under control I said “I'll come on Saturday” and left without waiting for her reply.
I rushed to the bathroom and let the tears pour down. My chest lightened a bit with the release. I didn’t know why exactly I cried but I just felt hurt. Even before the tears dried I decided to say yes to the date with Zimar. I so badly wanted to forget about Ariana and the unexplainable feeling I had around her. Zimar was quite happy when he learned that he’ll be supervising me in the music club. “Its a chance for us to spend more time together” he said. He was actually good at music. He taught me the basics on the first day and I surprisingly found it super interesting. I grew to like learning it and it wasn’t that bad learning from a handsome guy. He made our sessions smooth and easy for me and made sure to make me laugh. I got to know alot about him and his interests and slowly began to like him. I looked forward to my music classes even though Arry hardly showed up.
I was trying the guitar on my fifth day while waiting for Zimar. Few other members were already there practicing for an event. Arry came in wearing a brown leather jacket that looked so cool on her. I couldn’t help but stare at her. She gave a wave towards me and walked towards the crowd practicing. I went back to figuring out how the guitar works when she returned back to me. “You weren’t lying when you said you were passionate about music", she said smiling. “youre a quick learner” she addded, “i say, you must showcase your talent to everyone in the upcoming event!”
I was dumbfounded. I wasn’t expecting her to be this nice on me after I shouted at her last time. “I'm just a beginner. I’ve got lot more to learn” i said truthfully.
“you do have a lot more to learn, but you will learn em soon, I’ll train you myself for the event” she said. I couldn’t believe my ears! Finally I got what I wanted. I can now spend some time with her and maybe talk to her about our past. I’ll explain her about my visions and maybe ask her if she feels anything like that as well. I was too busy thinking all these I didn’t even notice Zimar coming in until he talked to me.
“A sweet morning to my sweet lady” he said, giving me a beautiful red rose. The freshness of it bought me back to my senses. “Thankyou it’s so beautiful!” I thanked him feeling genuinely happy.
“Not than you", he winked and walked behind me to guide my hands on the guitar. He wrapped his hand over mine and caressed it while inhaling my scent from my neck. His hot breath and the closeness made me feel uncomfortable but I didn’t want to push him away as it’d be rude.
“Ahem!” Arry coughed to remind him her presence. “Zimar, I was saying Amelia could sing at the upcoming event. I’ve noticed her getting better and I thought of training her myself for the event” she said while giving him a dry look. “Oh that’s great. But I’ll take care of the training. I know my student better so I know which side of her needs improving” he said, almost smirking. She smirked back at him and replied “I wasn’t asking for your opinion. I was just informing you.” and she boldly removed his hand which was caressing mine and held my hand in hers.
“we can start working right now” she said looking straight at me and walked out of the cabin dragging me along with her. I happily went with her to a peaceful place with no one to disturb us. “lets try to sing this- * she was cut in mid sentence because of the unexpected hug I gave her. I was just too happy that I hugged her tight and whispered thankyou in her ears. I could feel her warm body against mine, her breasts felt nice and soft. I felt as if I’m home until she decided to break the hug. She had her warmest smile on her face and poked my nose playfully. “you’re very welcome! Can we start now?”
