Emily's POV**

"Okay okay music time!" Amelia announces, and puts on some music.

"I'm the one" comes on from months ago, and we all sing along, even Leondre who never sings outside of the studio.

"Put despacito on I wanna hear Leondre do the Spanish!" Tyler laughs, and Amelia shrugs.

"I've only got the all-Spanish one."

"Put it on anyway. I can do part." He grins at me and I glare at him. "Come on."

Still glaring, I start in Spanish, "Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote
Tengo que bailar contigo hoy
Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome
Muéstrame el camino que yo voy
Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal
Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan
Solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso
Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro" I motion for Leondre to join in, the other two watching us as we do it together.

"Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito" I stop and let him do the rest.

"Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo
Quiero ser tu ritmo
Que le enseñes a mi boca
Tus lugares favoritos
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro
Hasta provocar tus gritos
Y que olvides tu apellido." He stops so I have to carry on.

"Si te pido un beso ven dámelo
Yo sé que estás pensándolo
Llevo tiempo intentándolo
Mami, esto es dando y dándolo
Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bom, bom
Sabes que esa beba está buscando de mi bom, bom
Ven prueba de mi boca para ver cómo te sabe
Quiero, quiero, quiero ver cuánto amor a ti te cabe
Yo no tengo prisa, yo me quiero dar el viaje
Empecemos lento, después salvaje." I'm out of breath, so Leo takes over thankfully.

"Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito
Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza
Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza

Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
Y es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas
Pero pa montarlo aquí tengo la pieza

Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo."

I join back in for the rest, and about half way through the last bit we started dancing ridiculously to it. "Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito

Quiero ver bailar tu pelo
Quiero ser tu ritmo
Que le enseñes a mi boca
Tus lugares favoritos

Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro
Hasta provocar tus gritos
Y que olvides tu apellido1
Despacito
Vamos a hacerlo en una playa en Puerto Rico
Hasta que las olas griten "¡ay, bendito!"
Para que mi sello se quede contigo1
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
Que le enseñes a mi boca
Tus lugares favoritos

Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
Hasta provocar tus gritos
Y que olvides tu apellido!" We finish, and the next song starts, the other two staring at us.

"Um hi." I smile uneasily at them.

"How the f-"

"Language Tyler!" Amelia frowns at him. "Okay but seriously how in shit do you know that?!"

I smile nervously. "This idiot bet I couldn't learn it in a week. I learnt in in five days, and who the hell do you think taught them the Spanish for their cover of it in August?!" I laugh, relaxing into Leondre who's looking at me fondly.

You have to tell him Emily. It's not fair.

I groan. "I sear if you don't fuck off- oh sorry not you, me." I smile awkwardly at Amelia and Tyler.

"Okay, well we got date night, so we have to leave now." Tyler says, and we say goodbye.

I turn and bury my face in Leondre's chest. "You know I love you."

"Of course baby girl." His grip on me tightens. "Is it back? That stupid voice?"

I nod. "And it can fuck right off." I mumble into his shirt. He smells so good, oh my days.

Leondre's POV**

I rest my cheek against her head as she relaxes into me.

"Yeah, it can babe." I sigh, and we stay like that for a bit. "You want to watch something?"

"No." She pulls away from me, pulling me through the kitchen to the back.

She's got a bedroom in here, except it's just a lot of duvets and blankets and cushions on the floor.

"I just wanna cuddle." She smiles shyly. So I kick my shoes off, lie down in the middle of the organised mess and hold my arms out for her. She slips her shoes off and curls into my chest.

We stay for what feels to be ten minutes before she moves, looking up at me.

"Can I play you something?"

I shift. In all the months of knowing her - about eight or nine months - she's never asked to play me something.

"Yeah of course."

She gets up, and I lie there for a bit.

This is what it will be like when she's gone. I have to stop that thought before I make myself sad again.

She comes back with a guitar and a stool to sit on. "It's not finished, but I have a first verse and a chorus."

"Okay, yeah, go ahead." I sit up and cross my legs like in primary school.

"I don't want to know who we are without each other
It's just too hard
I don't want to leave here without you

I don't want to lose part of me
Will I recover?
That broken piece,
let it go and unleash all the feelings

Did we ever see it coming?
Will we ever let it go?

We are buried in broken dreams
We are knee-deep without a plea
I don't want to know what it's like to live without you
Don't want to know the other side of a world without you."

I'm speechless. Literally speechless. I don't know what to say, it's-

"That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard." I hear myself saying. "Wow, Emily, wow. That's-" I can't even finish. She's looking at me doubtfully.

"Really?"

"Yeah! And it's not just me that thinks so." I smile. "Everyone at every single show loved you."

She smiles. "I was thinking of doing YouTube, but I don't know."

"Cause of the girl at one of our shows? Do it! And you'll see I'm right!" I go over to her, take the guitar and place it gently out of the way, making her stand. "I promise you, you won't regret it. And if you do, well then we'll have to fix that, okay?" I kiss her forehead and she smiles so much I think she might burst.

"Really? You really think I'm that good?"

I smile fondly. "I know you're that good."
