"Nooo..." I let out a muffled growl when the movie ended, hearing William chuckle.

"Get over it," he said.

"Now I'm bored."

"What would you like us do?" he asked, moving my laptop from his laps to the couch. I raised my head that laid on his chest, thinking.

"Uh... sing me a song," I beamed at him.

He scoffed, mocking himself. "I'm not a singer, just a trainer without a voice."

"C'mon..." I slightly pulled his arm, like a little baby asking for a candy.

"Okay, okay," he said, with small laughter in his voice as he faced me properly. "I'm going to try."

I smiled, giving him my full attention while he composed himself to start, with a little clearing of his throat.

Don't the water grow the trees

My smile grew wider as I recognized the song, All I Ever Need by Austin Mahone.

Don't the moon pull the tide
Don't the stars light the sky

He held a sweet smile while he sang, his voice a little deep, and silky, heating my heart with flames of passion. The liar could actually sing.

Like you need to light my life
If you need me anytime
You know I'm always right by your side
See I've never felt this love
You're the only thing that's on my mind
You don't understand how much you really mean to me

He captured me in his gaze, owning the words, with a playful demeanor and teases that made me blush and fall more deeply in love.

I need you in my life you're my necessity yeah...

He fondled my chin and I giggled.

But believe me that you're everything that just makes my world complete
I think you're perfect baby even with your flaws
You ask what I like about you oooh I love it all...

He sang randomly to the lyrics, saying the parts that mattered most to him and putting my head in the clouds, as his VVIP at his music concert.

When it comes to you, baby I'm addicted
You're like a drug, no rehab can fix it
I think you're perfect baby even with your flaws...

"You really mean that?" I cut him off quietly, as my heart could no longer contain the emotions he had provoked.

"Most, definitely, yes," he said and I chuckled.

"You sounded amazing." I dropped my honest comment.

He playfully rolled his eyes. "Please don't flatter me."

"Modesty doesn't suit you, you know."

He laughed. "Well, now it's your turn."

"Wait, what's the time?" I anxiously asked when it dawned on me, and with a confused expression, he peered down at his watch.

"Uh... ten minutes past twelve?" he said and looked at me.

"OMG!" I sprang up to the radio at the TV stand.

"What?" I heard him ask, with a soft chuckle.

I threw him a suspenseful smile and went ahead to turn on the radio. We were immediately greeted with a song that was soon ending. I hurried back to the couch and cuddled up with him, waiting.

"You're acting weird. What's up?" he asked again, more curious.

"Shhh..." I pressed my lips with my index finger, and he laughed.
