Who's In?

Natalia's POV

As we walked inside the room I noticed just how quiet it was. Then I heard the strum of a guitar and singing soon followed so I headed towards the sounds.

When I reached the music I found Mikayla singing her fav song and Tyler playing on the guitar backing her vocals. I stool there in awe of their performance, it was truely amazing.

I made eye contact with Tyler and then I just couldn't take my eyes off him. I felt like he was looking straight at me and at that moment all the hairs on my body stood upright and my heart beat faster.

Once Mikayla finished the whole entire room went berserk. Matt ran over to his sister and gave her a crushing hug. As he did she she a single tear from her right eye. He was whispering something into her ear whatever it was, I could tell he was sending his love and gratitude. What a perfect gift.

Tyler remained seated on the stool, he had this delicious smirk across his face. His eyes hadn't strayed off me since I entered the room. He got out of his seat and headed towards me with his guitar in hand. I turned around to check if he was looking at someone else cause it honestly felt like he was communicating to me when he performed.

With no one behind me he approached with a brilliant smile. Shyly he spoke. "I hoped you were coming tonight."

I blushed a deep red and dropped my gaze.

"I see you like my shoes, not bad hey!" He started doing a twirl.

I giggled still unable to look up at him.

"Natalia, can I get you a drink?" Tyler pleaded.

I slowly nodded and he grabbed my hand taking me towards the bar area. "You can have anything you want, so what will it be!"

"You!" I whispered so low I thought there was no chance he could have heard. "Surprise me."

"I'll be right back I just want to put my guitar away so it doesn't get damaged. Please don't go anywhere and wait here for me."

I nodded as my mind became slightly scattered with all these feelings. I couldn't believe I just said what I did, despite him not hearing me it was still a brave thing for me to do.

Mikayla and Matt came over and I got a kiss from each of them.

"Happy Birthday Matt." I returned his kiss.

"Thanks Nat. And can I add how gorgeous you look tonight." Matt smiled.

"You're hardly wearing makeup and your skin is so wonderfully flawless." Mikayla commented.

"For my Lady." Tyler had retuned with my drink.

"Thanks kind Sir." I whispered blushing again.

"Well a few people are arriving so I'll see you around." With that Matt walked off.

"I have to go check on a friend, see you around." Mikayla winked and giggled.

"So, why do I get the feeling that everyone's in on something!" I was quietly spoken.

"Oh, something very special will happen tonight. Trust me." Tyler winked. "My Lady, will you accept this dance?"

Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed my hand leading me onto the dancefloor.

To say that Tyler was a good dancer was an understatement, he had music in his blood. Our bodies completely and perfectly moulded together as he sang out the lyrics of every song.

We were dancing to the 4th song when I noticed my Mother watching. She grabbed Matt and I could see she was asking him questions about Tyler.

She'd be over analysing this situation, was he good enough for me to dance with? What was his family like? Where did he live? Did he come from money? What kinda of car did he drive? Who were his friend? What uni course did he want to do?

Blah, blah, blah. What about asking the important questions? Could he make my girl smile? Would he treat her right? Will he love her forever? Those questions were not in her radar!

In the end I knew he wasn't going to be good enough for me? They never were!

People say the eyes spoke a thousands words, with my Mum, it was her mouth which spoke volumes. And right now it was saying stay away I don't approve! As the line became straighter. But then out of no where it turned into a smile.
