43- The Day It All Began

*Luke's POV*

It was it. This was my dream.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and I was sitting in front of a microphone.
Behind the glass in front of me, was Julie, and the record deal. The one that was making my dream come true.

'Okay, take one. Relax, and sing'- He said. I breathed in and soon, the music started playing. It started with a soft guitar, acoustic. I breathed in again.

I never understood
Why the moments would never fade
Why I can't forget you
And why wasnt my decision to make you stay.

Now Im here, standing.
Seeing you with him smiling wide.
Oh, how I wished that was me, myself and I.
And have you by my side.

Just in the first take, it came out perfect. By the end, I again breathed in.
I looked through the glass, and Julie was swelling up in tears. She smiled at me and she wiped off her tears with her fingers. The record guy just looked at me.
'Luke, you have such a talent. That was perfect.'- He said. I smiled.-'I have a surprise for you'- He then said. I looked at him confused. He handed Julie a pair of papers and she came into the recording room.I stood up and took her in my arms. She sobbed slightly in my shoulder.
'I love you so much'- She whispered.
'I love you more'- I answered.She pulled apart and took seat in the stool next to mine. She splayed the papers between us. The papers were all written with words I knew very well: it was a song that Julie and I had written together, just for me to sing. It was called Lovestruck. The words were highlighted, some with pink, others with yellow, and others with orange.
'I fixed it to be a duet. I hope you don't mind.'-She said shyly. I smiled. The fact that Julie thought of the idea of singing it with me filled my heart with joy. I knew how much I loved her. She was perfection upon my eyes.
'I am pink, you're yellow, orange is for both of us'- She said. I smiled at her. We both slipped our headphones on. Soon, the piano music began to swiftle in our ears. I looked at the paper. I was first.

Like a dream, a fairytale
I just want to make you happy.
I wanna embrace you, and fill you with love
I wanna be your lovestruck.

Then she started singing.

I wanna be your princess
And I want you to rescue me
And pull me off from all my fears
I wanna feel safe in your arms

I looked at her as we both sang.

Lovestruck,I was lovestruck.
From the first time I saw you and I dreamt about you.
All I could do is feel your heart next to mine.
Heart beats, and deep breaths.
Even if I want to, I can't forget about you.
Because im Lovestruck,
Im lovestruck for you.

The song came out perfect. It revealed our true feelings. I could tell her everything I felt for her.
I loved her.

I looked at her and she was again in tears. I leant over at her and wiped off her tears.
'Why are you crying?'- I asked softly. She didn't manage to answer. I held her jawline with my right hand and pulled her to me. I crashed my lips slowly into hers. She returned the kiss. Her arms made her way to my neck. I held her waist as I pulled her closer to me.
We pulled apart, and held our foreheads together.
'I can't. This is your dream.'-She said. I looked into her brown eyes.
'But my dream wouldn't be complete without you. Because you are my dream'- I whispered, before pulling her in to kiss her again.
