In Her Eyes

Chapter 8: Write A New Song

She went towards the source of that voice. She was amazed by what she saw. A beautiful woman lying on a small fluffy mattress. There was a worn-out lamp on the side. Beside her lay a few stuff like a few cans of non-alcoholic drinks, a small diary, a pen, and an iPod. She had a Bluetooth headset on her head and a small shawl wrapped over her spread legs.

Her hands were behind her on the ground and she leaned backward and looked up at the sky. The moon was up and shining brightly along with the company of a few stars. She was humming some song.

Ashley straightened up slightly picked up a can of drink and took a sip. Suddenly, she smiled as she thought about something and Scarlett was stunned by it.

She had never seen such a bright and beautiful smile. It was the most pure and innocent smile she had ever seen. She didn't know why but her heartbeats accelerated real fast when she saw that smile. She slowly walked towards Ashley.

Ashley didn't realize someone was approaching her until that person was just a few steps behind. She was stunned and quickly turned around to see. Her long hair flowed with the air and blurred her view. When they finally rested, her eyes landed on the person she's been thinking about.

She was surprised for a moment but soon a beautiful smile swept up her face. Scarlett felt her heartbeat accelerate again and it was getting harder to calm it down.

" Hi."

" Hi~ How come your here?" Ashley sat up energetically as she asked with a genuine smile.

" I was looking for you."

" Oh. I thought you had left so I came up." Ashley was surprised yet happy to hear that.

" Nah. I just went to drop off my friend. Then I came back to find you but you were nowhere to be found."

" Sorry bout that. How did you find me then?"

" I went to your friends and they told me you'd be somewhere quiet. I've looked everywhere and almost gave up when I found you here."

" Sorry. You should've called me. I would come to find you."

" Hmm. But I wasn't sure if you'd left too."

" I see. Let me just wrap up my stuff then I'll take you out."

" No need. How about we just hang out here? It's beautiful here."

Hearing her, Ashley smiled. A warm feeling filled her heart as she said.

" No problem. Just a second I'll make it more comfortable for you." Saying that, Ashley got up. She pulled the mattress backward around the wall so they could lean on it. She had a small pillow she put on the wall for Scarlett and settled the cans and all on a side. then she sat down and told her.

" Come on." She offered her hand. Scarlett smiled lightly and took it. Her heartbeats were a mess as she took out her heels and sat down. After she sat comfortably and spread her legs, Ashley took the shawl and dropped it over their legs. Then she asked her.

" Are you comfortable?"

" Yeah."

" Good. Wanna have a drink? It's non-alcoholic."

" Yeah. Do you have a coke?"

" Yes. Here."

" Thank you."

" Your welcome."

There was a silence for a while. It wasn't awkward but beautiful. Both of their heartbeats were a mess and were feeling nervous.

" So how'd you find this stuff?"

" What? Oh, this mattress and all?"

" Yeah."

" Well, I occasionally come to this bar with my friends for a party or signing. But since I don't really drink or dance, I went here and there until I found this place. It's simple and beautiful so I bought the mattress from my home and got this lamp from my friend. She was gonna throw it out so I thought I could put it here. And since then, this has been my secret hiding spot."

" Do you like staying alone? Do you do this a lot?"

" Yeah. I like letting my thoughts wander. I am an artist. These are the times I get inspiration. Sitting here, I've wrote quite a few of my songs."

" Really? Is that what you were doing with that dairy?"

" Yeah. I write the lyrics and record the song in my iPod so that I don't forget."

"That's amazing. Did you just write a new song?"

" Well, today has been special for me. And this song is also special cause for the first time I wrote this type of song." Ashley said as she looked into her eyes. Scarlett felt a little nervous but she hid it well and smiled as she asked.

" Can I hear it?"

" Of course. But not now. I'll sing it for you on the stage someday."

" Alright. I'll be waiting."

" You better be." Ashley tried to say a little smugly. Scarlett giggled a little at that and that brought a smile to Ashley's face.
