Blue Rose - Reneé Rapp

The First Song

The past week had been a whirlwind of texting and fleeting conversations. Y/N and Renee had exchanged playful messages, their texts filled with teasing and innuendo, but the kiss they had shared remained a silent, unspoken topic between them. Y/N found herself caught in a loop of hesitation, unsure how or if she should bring up the kiss again. Each time she thought about it, she struggled to find the right words, fearing it might complicate things or make them awkward.

In the studio, Y/N was in the midst of a brainstorming session with her producer. They were deep into discussions about her next projects, when Y/N's mind kept wandering back to Renee. She had been mulling over an idea for a new song—one that would channel her emotions and the story about whatever they had. Inspired by their unspoken connection, Y/N felt compelled to express her feelings through music.

After the meeting, Y/N spent the entire day in the studio, crafting a song that was raw and deeply personal. She poured her heart into the lyrics, capturing the essence of her feelings for Renee. It was her way of articulating what she found difficult to say in person, a method of communication she had hinted at during their conversation by the pool.

Verse 1:

From the first spark of light, you caught my eye,
We danced through the shadows, under the night sky,
Our laughter was a melody, sweet and bright,
But the path we walked was far from black and white.

Chorus:

In every stolen moment, in every whispered dream,
I wished for more than what we'd ever seem,
In the chapters we've written, through the highs and lows,
In the spaces between us, my heart always knows.

Verse 2:

You taught me how to see the world anew,
In every sunrise, there's a hint of you,
We've grown from strangers to something so real,
In every heartbeat, I sense what we could feel.

Chorus:

In every stolen moment, in every whispered dream,
I wished for more than what we'd ever seem,
In the chapters we've written, through my highs and lows,
In the spaces between us, my heart always knows.

Outro:

So here's my heart in every note I sing,
A testament to what your touch could bring,
In the story of us, in every song's refrain,
I find the courage to hope and meet you again.

By the end of the day, Y/N was exhausted but exhilarated by the progress she had made. She decided to share a teaser of the song on her social media, hoping to gauge her audience and Renee's reaction. The video, a brief yet poignant glimpse of the track, quickly sparked a frenzy among her fans. They were eager to guess the inspiration behind the song, and speculation about its subject matter spread like wildfire. She saw that Renee had commented already.

"Is this your way of hinting you've finally met someone special?''

Y/N's heart fluttered at Renee's comment. It was more than just acknowledgment; it was a sign that Renee was paying attention. With her pulse quickening, Y/N decided to seize the moment.

She quickly typed out a message:

"Hey Renee, I want to show you something. Would you be up for hanging out later? Maybe you could come over?"

She waited, her phone feeling unusually heavy in her hand. The minutes ticked by slowly, and just as doubt began to creep in, Renee's reply arrived.

"Hey! I'm actually tied up tonight and can't make it. Sorry!"

Y/N felt a pang of disappointment and anxiety. Why wasn't Renee offering more of an explanation? Was there something she didn't want to share?

Two minutes later, Y/N phone buzzed again.

"I'm taking care of Towa's cat for the night, so I need to stay home. Could you come over instead? I'd really like to see you."

Y/N's nervousness turned to a smile. She quickly gathered her things and headed to Renee's place, her mind racing with anticipation and hope. Again, was it too soon?
