Serenade

Studying hard for school was the hardest thing to concentrate on right now. All I wanted to do was binge Netflix, scroll through my social media or both at the same time. Basically procrastinating from my responsibilities. I had upcoming quizzes, extra homework to complete and a group project with my classmates. What could be more frustrating?

I decided that I should just get everything over with so I can lie in bed and taking a freaking break. After dinner with my family, my siblings were watching the TV downstairs, which would be really distracting for me. So, I went up to my room for some peace and quiet. And also to finish whatever I could accomplish in one night.

Getting through my algebra and memorising facts about the history of your country could really put a person to sleep. I quickly got a couple of cans of Redbull from the kitchen so I wouldn't fall asleep on my work until the next morning. It would probably keep me awake the whole night but I had no other choice.

While writing down some equations in my notebook, I heard knocking sounds on my window.

TAP. TAP.

I turned to look but there was nothing there. For a moment, I felt scared that someone was breaking into the house. But there weren't any more sounds. I ignored it and continued on my work.

TAP.

There it was again coming from the window. I slowly got up from my chair and walked towards the sound.

TAP.

Someone had thrown a small pebble up to my window. I unbolted the latch and opened it. Looking down, I saw Mark with his guitar in hand. He waved up at me. What is he doing here?

"H-hi, Mark. What...what are you doing here?" I hadn't expected anyone to come knocking on my window with pebbles at night, let alone him.

"Sshhh, don't speak. I'm here to give you the best serenading you will ever get." He began strumming a chord in A minor on his guitar and sang.

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man~

'Oh my gosh, he's actually singing...for me. Kinda like Romeo and Juliet. How romantic!' I thought to myself.

These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But, darling, stay with me~

I clapped after his wonderful performance.

"Wow, that was...amazing!" I didn't know how to put it into exact words, but it was definitely more than 'amazing'. His voice was deep and melodic. At the same time it was mesmerising to listen to. I wanted him to sing some more.

Mark pushed the guitar to his back. He then climbed the tree in the yard that can easily reach the small balcony to my room. "Don't mind me. It's really hard to have a conversation all the way from down there. I'm coming to you."

I closed the window and went to the balcony. He was halfway up the tree, I was surprised he didn't break any branches. I checked to see if my parents heard anything. I didn't want my family to think I was slacking off upstairs. Hopefully they didn't hear Mark's playing outside.

He was at the top of the tree and was reaching for the handrail. I helped pull him over so he wouldn't fall.
Once he was over the rail, I hugged him tightly. He felt warm and solid. I wanted to stay in that moment forever.

When I looked up at him he was a little startled by the sudden hug. He smiled at me and said, "May I come in to your room?"

"Uhm, sure." I let him walk in after me, closing the door behind me. I'd never thought I would hear those words coming from him. He sat on my bed and laid his guitar on the side of it. I sat next to him.

"What are you doing here, Mark? We have a pop quiz coming for Mr. Deckers class."

"Eh, I studied for it already and got bored." He looked to my desk and picked up the empty Redbull can. "Did you just drink this entire can? And you have more? How are you gonna sleep?" A concerned look flashed across his face.

I waved him off. "Its fine. I'll get a few snoozes in when I'm done with the extra work I got."

"No, no, no. That is not acceptable. You need to relax. For a beautiful person like yourself, you have to get your beauty sleep." I blushed at his words, playfully bumping his shoulder. He pushed me back with a cocky smile.

"Come (y/n), lie over here." He patted the bed on his left side. I moved over to my pillow, looking up at him. Mark grabbed his guitar and sat himself onto the chair.

"Are you going to sing me to sleep? I don't think that's gonna work with all the energy juice I just had," I chuckled.

"Trust me, this will definitely work. Well, more with my dog but hopefully it'll work on you too." He positioned his fingers on the guitar and began playing.

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away...

As his melodic voice went on, my eyelids started getting heavier. How was I getting sleepy so fast? I gave out a short yawn. Soon, I closed my eyes, fast asleep on my bed. When Mark realized I had begun snoring, he put away his guitar. He drew the blanket over me.

"Goodnight, (y/n)." Mark kissed me on the forehead. He left through the same way, sparing one last glance at me before he closed the door to the balcony.
