Love in the Spotlight

Ch.7: Henry

"So what the surprise?" Astrid asked as she entered the car. it's been 2 weeks since we started working together and each day we grow a little closer. there had been days when she had come close to finding out who I really am but thankfully she didn't. It's not that I don't want her to know but for the first time in a long while someone is treating me like I'm a normal human being. I know that I will need to bell her at some point but not now not today. "What do you mean I don't have any surprises" I faked confusion trying not to let the grin I have since yesterday night when I texted her. "What do you mean? You texted me yesterday and said that you have a surprise for me" She said with a raised eyebrow and I couldn't help but grin at her which earned me a pointed look. "A ha surrender and tell me the surprise," she said with a finger pointed in my direction and a laugh at the end. God her laugh is so beautiful

wait what.

I cleared my throat and opened my phone. "I finished a demo of the song" She stares at me for a few minutes then breaks into one of the most beautiful smiles I have seen on her. It looks like I just gave her a star from the sky. "Wait really! Can I hear it?" I nodded mesmerized by her before sobering up. "Of course give me one minute " I murmured as I played the song on the speakers. I turned to her so I could see her every reaction.

Usually for all my music I stick to some basics that make all my Songs Feel similar no matter the genre but for this one, I felt like I could change it. after all, I'm trying something new right? As the song finished the smile on her lips hadn't left her face since I told her. "So what do you think? I asked kind of nervous. "This is better than I could ever hoped for, thank you" I Smile as she tries to hug me from her seat I Smile as I said. "I did not do anything I Just sang the song and added a few music to the background if this song turned out to be a banger which it will it's all because of you." She broke the hug too quickly in my opinion and looked at me with that look that I learned to mean that I'm not going to win whatever desiccation that we are having "don't you dare say that you made one of my dreams come true" I smiled as a text on my phone caught my attention. It's from my sister. "One moment" I murmur as I take my phone to check the message.

"dear brother as you failed to mention the fact that you have met a girl and that there is someone who might Say that you like this girl I'm coming to Chicago myself to see what is going on. I will be waiting For you at the airport" 

this is what the message said along with a photo of here ticket. Fuck my sister is coming, That will not end well at all. I'm screwed, and I see to talk to Heather cause of Course She is the one who told Hannah about Astrid. yeah, I'm screwed. "So change of planes we need to go to the airport right now" I said as I started the car. "wait what! Why?" She exclaimed as I drove lowers the main road. "My sister is coming" I tensed as realization just dawned on me. I hadn't given it a thought when I said that but I don't regret it. "Wait a minute you have a sister!" She said in shock. "Yeah She lives in New York For College". I explain. "College? How old is she?" I can hear the curiosity in her voice so I answer with a smile. "She's 18 years old " She nodded, and my smile couldn't be removed as she asked more questions about Hannah and I happily answered. It's not every day that I get to tell Someone who isn't Jack and Elsa or Heather about Hannah. So right now I'm going to live my dream about the older brother who talks Fondly of his younger sister. "So do you two live in New York together" she asked. "well no I live in lot Anglo's duo to work and she stays with me during summer" I answer as we reach the airport. not even five minutes and my sister is coming toward me with her bag. "Well hello hello I missed you," she said as she hugged me. I hugged her back as I said. "I miss you too little trouble." I could hear the protest about the nickname but I just smiled and took her back to the car. "Hannah this is my Friend Astride. Astral this is my sister Hannah" Hannah raised an eyebrow at me as I took her bags and went to put them in the truck, well this is going to be fun.
