The fuck guys! Thank you for 1k reads! This is insane!

Sarah POV

I woke up to the sound of his steady breathing. I propped myself up on one elbow to get a better view of his beautiful features. The bright morning sun cast dramatic shadows on his face making his cheekbones stand out. He was glowing and I wanted to kiss him more. I gently cupped his cheek with my hand, afraid to wake him up. I watched as my numbers lit up as my fingers came on contact with his soft skin. He was clean-shaven and looked like a prince. I was lucky to have this man as my soulmate. I observed his closed eyes that shifted from time to time as he watched his dreams unroll in his brain as if they were films. I slowly ran my fingers over his soft lips and felt a smile creep onto his face underneath my fingertips.

"Take a picture, it will last longer." he mumbled in his morning voice as he slowly opened his eyes.

"How long have you been awake?" I asked.

"Long enough to feel your every touch against my skin." He cupped by face with both of his hands. "I wish I could wake up to the sight of you every morning."

I gave him a quick kiss on the lips in response. "Get up! I'm gonna make breakfast." I got off the bed and headed into the kitchen. Dan's fridge was empty all I could find was some milk and cereal. "I guess that's what I'm cooking today." I chuckled to myself. I poured two bowls of cereal and set them up for me and Dan. I also lit a few candles just for fun.

"Tada!" I said as he walked in. He looked as the cereal and laughed.

"Gourmet?" He smiled.

"Yes, here we have the staple dish called Le Cereal Magnifique. It's made with a spoon on sunshine and a sprinkle of love." I said in a fake French accent. He laughed and gave me a kiss.

"I love it!"

We sat and ate the cereal in a comfortable silence. His eyes squinted against the harsh sunlight as he watched the cars pass in the window making his laughter lines more evident. His eyes darted after every car as if they were chasing something. His spoon was filed with cereal but it just hovered over his mouth for minutes. He was mesmerized by the motion of cars and I just sat watching him, afraid to disrupt his train of thought. Soon he dropped the spoon, picked up his phone and ran to the washroom.

"Dan?" I called after him. He didn't answer. He just locked the door to the restroom and turned on the water. I was confused by his sudden actions so I tiptoed to the restroom. I placed my ear against the door.

Singing.

His beautiful voice filled my ears. He was humming a melody. A melody I heard before. Then he proceeded to recite some chords.

"C, A sharp..." He mumbled.

Is he songwritting?

When I heard the water stop I silently jogged back to my chair and sat down like nothing happened.

"Sorry, my manager called. We need to be at the stoods in an hour." Dan said as he walked out of the washroom.

"Is that so?" I had a sly smile plastered on my face. I honestly couldn't wait for him to play me his new music.

"What?" He gave me a questioning look.

"It's nothing. I'll go get ready." I said as I cleaned up the dishes and placed them into the dishwasher.

In 30 minutes we were all dolled up to "hit the stoods" as Dan would say. When we arrived no one was there yet. Dan switched on the lights and I saw as a bunch of different instruments emerged from the darkness. The black piano on the middle of the room caught my eye.

"Where is everyone?" I asked Dan.

"They won't be here for another two hours."

"They what's up with all the rush?"

"I wanted to show you something." He blushed as he took my hand and pulled up a chair in front of the piano seating me there. He then opened the lid of the piano running his fingers over the sleek keys. He played a few chords before sitting down and cracking his knuckles. I watched him and suddenly felt a little jealous. He looked at the keys with such care and love, his eyes sparkled with every sound the piano made. He was married to his music. Soon his fingers danced making the most beautiful melody I've ever heard. I recognized it.

"Let those fools be loud
Let alarms ring out
'Cause you cut through all the noise
Let the days be dark
Let me hate my work
'Cause you cut through all the noise"

I jumped up from my chair and stood there watching him in utter admiration. His eyes were closed and his shoulders heaved with emotion.

"Bring me some hope
By wandering into my mind
Something to hold onto
Morning, noon, day, or night"

He looked up at me and paused his playing. I stood this my mouth slightly opened. I loved his man to bits.

"Go on my love." I smiled at him. He picked up his playing but this time he didn't look down, he was focused on me as he played the chords.

"You are the light that is blinding me
You're the anchor that I tie to my brain
'Cause when it feels when I'm lost at sea
You're the song that I sing again and again"

I heard him sing this song in the shower. I herd him hum it in his sleep. I heard him whistle it as he drives.

"All the time, all the time
I think of you all the time"

When he finished playing I just passionately kissed him.

"So... uh.. yeah.. I wrote a song for you." He smiled against my lips.

"It's fucking beautiful. Thank you mu love." I whispered. "You should let the world hear it."

"You think? But I don't know what people would think... I don't usually write love songs... And this one is pretty personal... And I only want you to have it."

"I think it's so beautiful that it would be a shame if you don't share it with the rest of the world. "

"Hmm... Maybe I'll put it as the opening track..."

I just laughed and cupped his face admiring his features. But my smile fell as I noticed something strange....

"Holla amigos! We are a little early" Kyle screamed as he barged into the studio. I got off Dan as fast as I could leaving him a blushing mess.

"Hi I'm Sarah." I introduced myself to Kyle and the boys.

"Oh! So YOU'RE Sarah!" The bearded man joked.

"Kyle!" Dan slapped Kyle's arm.

"It's nice to meet you I'm Woody and that's Will." Woody pointed at Will who had a permanent blue steel look on his face. I smiled politely. "Yeah and that weirdo is Kyle." Woody looked over at Kyle who was teasing Dan.

"I know. My friend is a fan of yours." I chuckled.

"Are you Dan's lady friend?" Will gave me a sly grin.

"Yep. A Lady. Friend." I giggled.

I watched as the boys set up the instruments with an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I itched my numbers. Why were they flickering when I was holding Dan?
