Mi Amor [JeffxBright] [Completed]

Bright

I laid in bed, reminiscing over Jeff's comments. His words made me blush against my will and I kept thinking about it the whole night.

His voice makes me feel the same way and yet he said the same about me. Ugh! Why was a 28 year old making me blush and the best part, it was a guy?!

What the heck. I wasn't homophobic and I knew post 2gether, alot of people had thought something had been brewing between Win and me. But it wasn't and was just fan service. But this Jeff, ugh, his words were making me feel funny in my tummy, a good kind of funny.

I finally dozed off, my head full of thoughts about him and I woke up around 8am. Sitting up sleepily, I looked around confused until I recalled I was in Jeff's house. I took a quick shower and changed into my clothes that had been washed and dried and laid on the dressing table. I went out to the hall to find the house empty. The heck?

I saw a note on the table and Jeff had scribbled something about having to go meet his manager and that he will be back soon. He also wrote that breakfast was on the table and told me to help myself. I looked at the options and realized he had bought my favorites. He must have asked my manager again. A smile flitted over again, over his thoughtfulness as I sat down to eat.

I cleaned up and was strumming away on my guitar when he came back. "Had breakfast?"

"I did. Thanks for it. How was your meeting?"

"It was ok. I got a fan meet to go for tomorrow post rehearsal so it was about that."

I nodded. We hung out a bit more before I finally left. On Monday, we met bright and early for rehearsal. As we had done quite a bit of groundwork on Sunday, we actually achieved a lot more.

We started penning our song together, deciding to do a love song. As Jeff played the tune, I launched into the opening lyrics.

As my heart listens
For that first beat
That first hum
I couldn't help but wonder
Over the signal it was sending me

It sounds like love
But is it?
Oh dear one
Will you tell me before day sees night
Or is it a mystery that will be unsolved?

We practiced and fine tuned more before closing up for the day. Jeff quickly changed into another outfit for the meet and was about to take off.

"I see you tomorrow, na?"

I nodded, waving him goodbye. He ran off and a little while later, I heard my manager call out to me.

"Looks like you guys made up? I was hearing the song earlier. It sounds very promising."

"Doesn't it? I quite like it too. I seem to be able to resonate with the song abit."

"I could see that. I'm no expert but your voice knew how to change as you sang the lyrics."

I smiled at my manager and we were about to leave when we both realized that Jeff had left his phone behind.

"I will send it to him. Why don't you head home? You must be tired."

"Hmm its ok Phi. Can you drop my things off at home for me? I will go give this to him."

I caught my manager throwing me a cheeky look and I glared at her but she obliged. I took his phone and left, hailing an uber.

I reached the mall where the meet was happening. There were fans thronging the place. I had my shades on and quietly slipped backstage, waiting for him in his dressing room at his manager's suggestion. I really didn't want to wait upfront as that will divert attention away and I neither wanted that for myself or him.

It was almost 9pm by the time he was done. He came back to find me dozing away again.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

"Phi.. you left your phone behind. Wanted to pass it to you."

"You could have passed it to P Ning. You didn't have to wait."

"It's ok. I thought it will wrap up soon. How was it? All good?"

Jeff nodded, taking his phone and thanking me gratefully for it, filling me in on the event. I smiled as I listened to him chatter away. He seemed so aloof in public but seemed so much more warmer and chattier in person.

"Let me drop you home OK?"

Before I could reject, he glared at me and I smiled inevitably. I agreed. It was a quiet ride home as we were both exhausted.

Once we got to my place, I thanked him for the ride. He waved it off saying it was the least he could do. As he went off, I stood there, watching him and at the same time, the particular stanza floated into my head.

As my heart listens
For that first beat
That first hum
I couldn't help but wonder
Over the signal it was sending me

The heck?! I shook my head, trying to rid it of my thoughts before I made my way into my house, reminding myself not to confuse kindness with feelings.
