The Sticky Note Girl (2019)

CHAPTER 20

After filling our plates up with food, we took our seat again at the living room, not wanting to miss more about the movie we're watching. I watched Hunger Games a million times but I can't get enough of it. Agnes, it's her first time though.

It's already past 12:30AM but I'm still wide awake. Happy that someone is with me tonight. At last, I finally opened up to someone, I finally felt a little free. I owe everything to Agnes.

Half an hour passed and the movie ended. Yawning, I stood up from my seat and pulled out the CD from my DVD player.

Stretching a little, I walked towards her. "Sleepy?"

She shook her head. "I don't know why but nahh, I'm not."

I sat on the floor, thinking of what to do. "I don't feel like sleeping, too."

Minutes passed by and silence danced in the air, I just sat there, playing with my feet awkwardly while she was humming a tune I think I know.

I shifted my body to face her. "Don't just hum... Sing." I demanded, smiling ear to ear at her.

"Fine. Pick a song." She poked my cheek.

"Oh. That. I hate that part. I can't think of any whenever I was asked to do so." I groaned in frustration. I hate trying to remember a title of a single song, 'cause I'm always having a mental blocked whenever I'm trying.

"Wait. Lemme' think." She closed her eyes.

I tapped the table beside me, waiting for her to open her eyes and start singing.

"Anything will do." I sing sang.

"You know Ed Sheeran? I'll sing one of his songs." She said, finally sitting up, her chin resting above her knee, both her hands intertwined near her feet. "I don't know but I love this since the first time I heard it at the music store."

I beamed at her, excited to see her perform only for me. "Agnes Greene, Williams' popular band lead singer, singing only for me." I clapped my hands.

"Yeah. Be grateful." She rolled her eyes, then smiled.

Clearing her throat, she started singing.

"Give me love like him,
'cause lately I've been waking up alone.
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt.
Told you I would let you go."

While she was singing, her eyes we're closed. Tapping her hands in her feet for some beat. I smiled at her figure.

"And that I'll find my corner,
maybe tonight I'll call you,
after my blood,
turns into alcohol.
Well, I just wanna hold you."

I heard her voice shaking when the last two words escaped her lips.

"Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out,
we'll play hide and seek, to turn this around.
All I want, is the taste that you're lips allow.

M-My m-my, oh give me love."

Somehow, her broken voice was more noticeable than before. I wonder why? I stared at her with confusion, but her eyes we're still closed.

"Give me love like never before,
'cause lately I've been craving more.
And it's been a while but I still feel the same.
Maybe I should let you go."
