Ellington Imagine: Singing You To Sleep

"182, 183, 184, 185, 186...." Ratliff was counting. "187, 188, 189-"

"Ell," you interjected. "I really don't think that's gonna work."

"Gosh darn it...you made me lose count." He pouted.

"Yeah...Ratliff we'd be here for several eons if you tried to count all the stars. Besides, you probably would've lost count once you hit 1,000." You giggled and he laughed too. You and E-Rat were out at the park under the stars that night. You both had run around goofing off and being your "normal" selves but now you were both exhausted. The two of you were sitting in the grass talking about nearly anything. You decided to lie down beside him.

"Aww Baby." Your goofy friend said in a baby voice. "Is it baby's nap time? Do you need Ratliff to song you a lullaby?"

You laughed," Actually yes. Can you sing for me, Ratliff?"

He thought for a moment while looking out at the darkness. "Sure, anything for you, Darling."

You shut your eyes and listened to the breeze and the crickets when suddenly, Ratliff's handsome voice registered in your mind. It was very soothing and calming.

He was singing "Fix You" by Coldplay and it was then that you realized how exhausted you were and dozed off. When you woke up, you were startled, forgetting where you were.

"Whoa...wait what...." You said stretching.

"You fell asleep, Gurl." Ell said with amusement in his voice. "Hey, let's getcha home."

"Okay." You said in a drowsy voice. He helped you up and held your hand and for the walk all the way back to his car, he serenaded you.
