The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 213: Kiss The Rain

Even so, Suzy felt like an ass for making Jackson sad. From the way he spoke about his mother, it was obvious that he looked up to her. How can she not understand Jackson when she also misses her mother badly, no matter how long it had been since her mother passed away?

"Mind if I join you playing here? I'm not really into games, so I wouldn't be able to understand what they are playing."

Even before Jackson could answer, she sauntered towards him and gestured for him to make space for her to sit. The seat was able to cater two people, but considering Jackson's build, he wouldn't be able to give Suzy the safe zone she needed.

Once she was seated, their arms brushed against each other, making Jackson shiver from the contact, which Suzy failed to notice. He wasn't used to being this close with a woman, but he didn't dare to comment over Suzy's sudden invasion of his private space.

"My mom used to play too." She commented, with a smile that put Jackson in a trance.

"Does that mean that you know how to play too?" He asked, not wanting her to get bored in his company.

"I knew a few pieces, but nothing too complicated. This is the first piece I learned by myself." She grinned, her arms moving to touch the black and white keys of the piano in front of them.

She then began playing a few notes, allowing herself to get the feel and familiarize herself again. Suzy made sure it was tuned properly before she started playing. The music came out as a haunting melody of a piece that Jackson surely had heard before.

'Kiss The Rain'. How could Jackson not know about it?

The piece was known for its melodious, lilting notes. Every single tone perfectly shapes it. No lyrics or voice accompanying it, but it rhymes elegantly, swelling the flow of every key's tone played dramatically by its virtuoso composer.

Jackson could hardly verbalize what he was feeling while listening to it. It melodiously hit his ears, and brain, and eventually he could feel it, literally feel it. Was it even possible? He wondered.

Suzy playing was so relaxing, and it hardly left his ears. He found himself enjoying it as it gave him a sort of peace until he was reminded of what this music was about.

This piece was about an unrequited love. He gave Suzy a side glance, wondering who she was thinking as she played it. He was aware of the meaning behind this piece.

The first verse explained how she had feelings for this guy, and she loved him so much that she would give everything she could to him, even how much it takes to let him love her.

And the chorus followed, expressing that she had confessed her feelings toward that person, but she was left wondering if he loved her, leaving her confused and hurt at the same time.

The second verse expressed her loneliness as she had never felt being loved and no one was there to be with her.

'So she has been wanting for someone to always be there for her?' Jackson thought.

Overall, it gives him the impression that Suzy was saying that she will be okay, not being loved by someone that she loves. It was as if she was assuring herself by saying she would just need to cope and get on with her life.

Just who had a broken heart? Jackson couldn't believe someone wasn't able to appreciate Suzy's beauty and personality, because in his eyes, she was already perfect.

His loss, not mine.' He thought.

If no one was able to ensnare her in all these years, it was their loss. They were missing such a fine specimen of a woman, one that was currently seated next to him. If only he could keep her to himself, he would, but he also knew that the moment he showed his intent towards her, Suzy would bolt out of his life for good and that was something he wouldn't want happening.
