Her Royal Shyness

Ch 21- Little Things

(Club Zero)

Shaun's POV

I can feel the erratic beating of my heart.

Why am I so tensed?

"Chill bro! I know she'll come." Justine tapped me in the shoulder.

I looked at him incredulously.

Justine scoffed.

"Don't play dumb Shaun, I know you like her."

"What!? Who?"

"Your roommate." he said that in a 'duh' tone.

I grinned.

"You're too obvious Shaun, too obvious." he said that while shaking his head.

"You're on. Sing for her." he pushed me to the small stage.

'Okay here it goes Shaun. Don't chicken-out.' my subconscious mind said.

"Good evening everyone! I would like to dedicate this song to this beautiful girl who makes me smile every day."

The audience applauded as I start strumming my guitar.

~Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me

but bear this in mind it was meant to be

and I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

and it all makes sense to me~

I scanned the faces of the audience to find her. And after a few moments, I saw her smiling at me from one of the tables.

~I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile,

you've never loved your stomach or your thighs

the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine

But I'll love them endlessly~

I can't help but feel blissful at the moment. We locked gazes, and it's like we're the only ones in here.

~I won't let this little things slip out of my mouth

But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to

I'm in love with you and all these little things~

Our eyes... trained on each other until the song ends.

She gave me a thumbs-up and I mock salute her before I bid goodbye to the audience.

I was on my way to her table when a bunch of girls surrounded me. Damn. I just want to come to her but this girls won't let me go.

Being this good looking and talented really have some side effects.

I smiled at my crazy thoughts. And when I looked at her direction, all I saw was her retreating back.

"Yssa!" I shouted her name but she did not seem to hear me.

Either she didn't hear me or just completely ignored me.

What's wrong with her?

Yssa's POV

"Yssa!" I heard Shaun called me but I'm too pissed to face him.

'Your jealous.' my subconscious mind stated.

"No, I'm not!" I exclaimed and that earned me glances from the people around.

Nice Yssa, they'll think that you're a heck of a crazy girl.

I mentally slapped myself.

"Yssa wait!" Shaun suddenly grabbed my hand as I arrived at the parking lot.

"What?" I snapped, ignoring the tingles I felt in his touch.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked while giving me a confused look.

"No, just go inside. Your FANS are waiting for you." I replied bitterly as I look at his face to see his reaction.

He smirked. "Are you jealous?"

"No!"

"Then why are you acting like a jealous girlfriend?" he teased.

"No, I'm not." I shrugged and crossed my hands over my chest.

He stifled a laugh before hugging me.

"I don't care about them. Aren't you listening earlier? That song was for you." he said while hugging me tighter.

Shocked at the sudden contact, my hands fell on my sides and my throat is suddenly dry.

"F-for me?"

He nodded then leaned closer to whisper in my ear.

"I like you Yssa."
