"Thank you so much Nathan. I had a great time." I smiled as Nathan walked me to my flat. We sat at the coffee shop for hours, just talking about anything. When 8 o'clock rolled around we knew that we needed to leave. I was going to called Alfred, but Nathan insisted that he walked me home, which I didn't mind. It wasn't that far of a walk thankfully.

"No problem, I had a blast. It's hard to find people who don't just gush over me being famous. A lot of famous people even do it at times." Nathan laughed as we made it to my flat.

"See you later." I said really not wanting to go.

"Yeah, maybe tomorrow we can do something else."

"After I record vocals and a video for my channel." I said as it started to rain again. My eyes widened and I grabbed Nathan's arm pulling into the building. It was pouring and probably wouldn't let up anytime soon. There wasn't very many cabs out right now. 

"Brilliant." Nathan sighed.

"You can stay with me for the night. I have a guest room." I said pulling him over to the lift. 

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked when we were already moving up the floors.

"Little too late now isn't it?" I laughed as we made it to my floor. I unlocked my door walking in with Nathan behind me making sure to lock it after. I set my bag down on the couch walking into the kitchen. I started some tea. I could hear Nathan walking around my flat looking at everything, I started humming while getting out the sugar, milk, and tea bags setting them on a tray along with two cups and spoons. Soon I heard my piano being played, I giggled shaking my head as the water was ready. I grabbed with water setting it on the tray before carrying it into the living room. I set it on the coffee table taking a seat on the couch watching Nathan play the grand piano that sat at the edge of the room next to the glass wall that looked out over London. Probably my favorite thing about my flat.

I made my tea before sitting back and just watching him play. He was so at peace when he was playing. It was amazing. Soon he started playing a tune that I remember.

From the way you smile
To the way you look
You capture me
Unlike no other

From the first hello
Yeah, that's all it took
And suddenly
We had each other

I blushed seeing Nathan look at me out of the corner of his eye. He smiled closing his eyes once again.

And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again

So don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do
And I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands

I promise it won't get broken

We'll never forget this moment

It will stay brand new

'Cause I'll love youOver and over again

Over and over again
From the heat of night

To the break of day

I'll keep you safe

And hold you forever


We both smiled hearing the note that he had trouble with before come out perfectly. He stopped playing getting up and coming to sit with me on the couch. "That's all I've got. What do you think?" He asked making his tea.

"It's amazing. You're truly talented." I told him.

"Play me something?" Nathan asked.

"Oh no, after that I couldn't." I shook my head. I couldn't follow that up, no way.

"Please?" Nathan begged giving me puppy dog eyes. 

"Fine. Dang you." I frowned setting my tea cup down and walking over to the piano. I questioned what I should play, before just laying my fingers on the keys and letting them play.

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And In the dark I found, I stop and I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light

The bench moved next to me and I could see Nathan out of the corner of my eye. He held his hands over mine before I moved mind letting him play as I continued singing. I don't know why I knew that was what he wanted, I just did.

I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not the afraid when the rain won't stop
Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night

Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light light light,
You're my flash light light light
You're my flash light light light light light ohhh

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes (shinin in my eyes)
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight (you're my flashlight)
You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night

Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light
You're my flash light light light
You're my flash light light light
You're my flashlight

"You really shouldn't doubt yourself. Your voice is truly beautiful." Nathan whispered. I didn't know what to say. We sat there quietly, not saying a word to each other. Nathan playing the piano and I sat there and watched him, a feeling washed over me that I wasn't familiar with, but it was nice. This was nice.
