Marley's POV
I just finished my song when I get startled by a deep voice behind me.
"Omg you scared me, " I said placing my hand on my heart.
" Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." the voice said
"It's uh fine..."
" You have an amazing voice you know."
" Thanks... ummm do you mind stepping into the light I kind of don't wan to be seen talking to the dark alone." I said staring into the darkness.
" Oh right sorry..."
I see that it was Cole behind the darkness. I start to get a little nervous when he gets closer onto the balcony. He sits down next to me, right by the body of my guitar.
" What song were you playing?" He asks
" Oh just a song I've liked for a while now... a Shawn Mendes song."
"Cool.." he says " Mind playing me another song?"
" Sure I guess umm mind if i play Tori Kelly?" I say looking at him
"Yea sure I love Tori Kelly" He says smiling. I smile back and start playing.
(Listen to Beautiful Things by Tori Kelly)
" I've been afraid, I've been away too long, every city whispering your name.
Won't ask you to wait, but darling when I get home, I'm hoping that you might still feel the same.
But if you go I think I'd understand it's not that easy holding my hand, but you should that I miss you all
time and I wish that I could tell you that will be alright
But I cant be where you are tonight. Ohhhhhh."
Out of no where Cole begins to sing the next verse. I look at him in so much shock but I continue to play.
" I only dream beautiful things about you, so waking always seems to hurt
And I hate goodbyes but baby I'll try to make them work If you choose to break my heart when I return
But if you go I think I'd understand it's not that easy holding my hand, but you should that I miss you all
time and I wish that I could tell you that will be alright but I cant be where you are tonight ohhhhhh. "
I start smiling on how he knows the song so well, the way he sings is so amazing. We then begin to sing the last few lyrics to the song.
" I can't be where you are... if you go I think I'd understand it's not that easy holding my hand, but you should that I miss you all time
time and I wish that I could tell you that will be alright but I cant be where you are."
I finish the last few chords of the song still looking at Cole and smiling. I begin to blush a little. I look down to avoid eye contact but then Cole places his finger under my chin to lift me head up to look at him. He pulls a strand of hair behind my ear and begins to lean in. I begin to also lean in but then next thing I know one of my guitar strings pop and break causing us to break apart before anything can happen.
" Ughhh stupid guitar, I swear this thing is so old." I said trying to take the old string out.
" How come you can't just give that one up and just get a new one?" Cole asks
