Waking up to a bad case of a stiff neck is not something good to feel on a Sunday morning—but waking up to a cross-legged Hanni with my mom's guitar around her neck is something good to admire on a Sunday morning.

"You finally woke up."

She teases, smirking that smirk as I push myself up by my hands, rubbing the drowsiness away from my lids as I give the girl a half-smile, narrowing my eyes on the guitar.

"How'd you get that?" I ask, tilting my head to the side as I feel the blanket we used falling down my chest.

Hanni taps her fingers on the instrument and shrugs her shoulders up.

"It was by your door, so I thought it was okay to borrow?" she hums, asking for my permission silently as I roll my eyes and nod.

"It's my mother's," I tell her as she continues to fix the tunings. "I guess she left it in my room the other day."

Grinning, Hanni winks at me. "Good thing she did because I get to do this now."

Furrowing my eyebrows, I bunch the blanket up to my chest and lean back on the railings, trying to ignore the heat of the sun as I shield my face with one hand.

"Do what?"

She smirks and strums down a few chords, creating this melodic tune as I sigh at the feeling.

Hanni giggles at me and strums again, humming a tune as I throw my head back gently and look up at the sky.

"I've been wondering if you remember—"

Body waking up, I feel my cheeks blushing and my heart racing at the smooth velvet voice of Hanni, it was so soft—so alluring and I can't help but stare at her deeply as she sings a sweet song.

I didn't know that she had this amazing voice.

"I said that we're not meant for each other
'Cause I don't believe in soulmates
But I won't let that get in the way
I don't mean to complicate it
But there's no other way around it"

Her face scrunches up when she hits the note of the last word, swinging her arm up to point at the sky for a moment before going back down to strum again.

It was so soothing to hear her voice, almost like I'm floating on the clouds and she's the angel with a harp.

"To try to make one out of two
When I am me and you are you
What am I supposed to do?"

She wiggles her chest, causing spurs of laughter to come out of my mouth as I clap my hands, impressed.

Hanni grins.

"When I fall for you
I'll change my colors if I have to
If anyone is worth it, I think it's you
Baby, I'd die for you"

With a lick of her lips, Hanni stops her strumming and decides to look at me in my eyes with sincerity.

Scrunching up my nose, I stifle a giggle—Did she just say that she falls for me? Or perhaps, she likes me too?

"When I fall for you
We'll dance like the leaves when their time is due
Forgive and forget to make room for new
Baby, I'd die for you"

Side-eyeing me, I see her gulping down hard and smiling.

"I'm done. Hope you liked it."

I smile and nod.
