Tenant's Secret Love

Chapter 150: Close To You

After a moment's thought, Brittany told us, "I'll sing 'Close To You'."

After Brittany said this song, I looked at Robben. This English song with some jazz and blues styles is quite a test of piano skills.

Robben smiled and said to me, "Easy."

I was relieved. I hoped that the song would be performed perfectly, because it was Brittany's favorite song. I remembered that one year for my birthday, she went to a recording studio to record the song for me. I saved it on my phone, but unfortunately, on the day Natalie and Harlan got married, I got drunk and threw the phone into the moat, and the song sank to the bottom of the river and was never seen again.

I think these coincidences coming together is what is called fate!

I took a deep breath, then gave Robben a look, and the two of us played our instruments at the same time, while Brittany's graceful body swayed gently to the lazy rhythm.

Robben's playing skills are very high, Brittany's tone is also very good, full of a woman's charm, and she is fluent in English, so she perfectly performed this jazz blues-style song. Even I, playing the guitar, was indulged in an indescribable relaxation until she sang the ending part...

"On the day you were born, the angels gathered and decided to make your dreams come true. So they sprinkled golden moonlight in your hair and stardust in your blue eyes. That's why all the girls in town follow you around, just like I did, and they long to be close to you, just like I did. They long to be close to you, close to you, close to you..."

Suddenly, I felt suffocated. She once cared about me so much, and I cared about her too. That's why when she passed that song on to me, I listened to it over and over again for a whole day. Even after we broke up, I wasn't afraid of the pain of missing her during those dark nights. I smoked and listened over and over again, until my lungs and heart ached...

I missed a note in the suffocation, so that this song that was supposed to be perfect had a flaw, but the audience didn't mind, and many people even took out their phones to record Brittany singing the song, because she was so beautiful, and her singing was even more beautiful, and the impact was no less than Renee just now.

The audience began to talk again in private, naturally curious about the background of this bar and why there were so many beautiful women singing for it. You have to know that neither Brittany nor Renee were in any way inferior to those so-called stars. For example, Violetta, who is in the entertainment industry, is at most on a par with them, and she doesn't dare to call herself a beauty.

But I couldn't care less about that. I was still annoyed at myself for playing the wrong note at the end, and I even wanted Robben and Brittany to work with me to start over again, but I knew that was impossible. This wrong note is like our love. Although it had a beautiful beginning and process, it also had a terrible ending that can negate everything. We are destined not to start over again, so that wrong note is more like a summary, summarizing this unforgettable love.

...

After the song ended, I left the venue under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and then curled up in the bathroom smoking to relieve my emotions. At this time, I was disgusted with the carelessly touched past, and even more disgusted with myself. Why was it that Brittany had already started a new relationship, and I was still distracted and distressed from time to time because of nostalgia?

Did I really still love her?

No, I no longer loved her. I only loved the happiness and ease of being together.

When I was about to finish my cigarette, Robben also came to the bathroom. As he opened the door to pee, he said to me, "Hey, can it smell the smell of nostalgia in this toilet?" Then he shook his body and didn't say the rest of the sentence.
