Luciana// Zayn Malik

[4. Music]

"Don't worry Gigi, Presley will be fine with me." Luciana says to a questioning Gigi.

"If you need anything Zayn will be here but only for a while." Gigi says as I listen from the top of the stairs.

"Go to work before your late, G. I got everything under control." Luciana assures her as she says goodbye to Presley and heads out.

I wait for her car to leave the driveway before I go downstairs to bother Luciana. "What do you want to do, baby?" Luciana asks Presley while I'm coming down the stairs.

I hear nothing from Presley and it must be because he's shy and doesn't really talk to anyone. "Music." He says and I'm taken back by his words because all he does is give me mean looks, especially when I wake him up in the morning.

"What do you wanna listen to?" Luciana asks sitting on the floor next to the little boy that's the spitting image of me.

"You music." He says as I watch him and Luciana from the bottom of the stairs.

"You want to listen to my music?" She asks and he nods his head while playing with his legos.

"Let me ask your dad if I can hook my phone up to a speaker." Luciana says and gets up and sees me watching her and my son.

"Hey Zayn, do you mind if I hook my phone up to the speaker?" She asks and I tell her to go ahead while she quickly turns it on and puts some music on.

A familiar beat goes through the whole house and then the bass line comes in. It's Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston.

"You must've been a little kid when this song came out." I tell her as I take a seat in the couch and opening up my laptop. "Probably starting middle school." I continue on and she's laughing now.

"I have a vast amount of music that way out of my timeline." She tells me making a figure from the legos.

"What do you listen to?" I ask her as I type away lesson plans. Based all around Luciana.

"I listen to a lot of classic rock music from the 60's, 70's and 80's, 90's alternative music a lot of rap, and of course Mexican music. There's a sprinkle of pop music in there but it's mostly a couple of bands." She says and I'm in awe at her knowledge of music and her expansive taste.

"You're a choir teacher so you must sing, right?" She says and I suddenly become shy.

"I don't sing that much" I say nervously feeling my face heat up. Presley is quick to call me out on my bullshit though. "Daddy can sing pretty." He says and I just look at him like what the fuck bro and he's just smiling at me.

"Can I hear you sing?" She asks and pull up my music on my laptop.

"Listen to this." I say and she pauses her music and I play one of my songs. Fool for you. As the intro comes in I tell her how I recorded this song back in L.A.

She just sits there with no general emotion on her face as she listen to my voice. God I hope she like it.

The song is halfway done and she still hasn't said anything or moved or made an emotion and I'm getting nervous. As the song ends Presley claps and then goes back to his legos and Luciana takes a breath.

"That's really pretty. It's so good I have goosebumps. Can I download that onto my phone? Do you have more music?" She says asking me all these questions and I take a breath of relief and tell her I'll send her the song.

"I showed her my music, Liam." He stops eating his lunch and gives me a small wow.
