Winter's Love

26

-Are you busy for a piano lesson? -Leo texted me.

-I'm not. On my way -I answered enthusiastically.

It had been several days since Ravi had caressed my face, but I still felt that caress as if it had been that morning. Each day that passed I felt closer to the group, I felt closer to him. I spent a lot of time trying to remind myself that I should kill this idiotic feeling I had for him if I wanted to keep me sane. He doesn't help much to the cause either.

I left the documents I was working with, which were not necessary for that moment. I was advancing work in case I needed free time later. The boys were working hard with their comeback, so I assumed that I would need that time for other things, like for example: stream the MV, voting and all the things that involve them coming back with something new. I was flying, because they had let me witness everything I ever wanted. From their meetings to discuss the songs, sometimes they let me be in the studio... At this point I didn't know what was worse, because now I was more anxious to hear everything complete.

-It's a surprise! -Ken told me one night that we had gathered to play-. You will be proud of us. You'll see -Prouder of them? Was that possible? I was really proud of them already, how can I be more?

I left the office happy, I was already in a good mood, but Leo was going to teach me a lesson today, it made me want to jump for joy. On the way I met Ravi talking with Hana. He gave me a charming smile when he saw me, but Hana seemed to be planning my death. I smiled back, though I felt a momentary twinge of jealousy in my stomach. He is not for you... It was the time five hundred that reminded me the same. I went on my way, thinking about what I had done to the artist to look at me in that way, then I remembered. I was wearing Ravi's coat. Normally I would leave it and use mine if I had to leave the office, to avoid torment later... I had forgotten it because of the emotion. I shrugged, I could do nothing.

When I entered the room where the piano was, Leo was there. He played the song he was composing but one part did not convince him.

-What if instead of making a high note altogether, you do this? - I sang the part so that he knew how it went-. I think that keeps the essence of the song feeling. By the end it can do what you are trying to do -He considered it a bit and tried. This time he continued with the song a little more and did what he was trying to do when I arrived. Making everything match to perfection.

-I've broken my head with this, thank you.

-It' nothing -I wasn't a genius in music, but I had decent knowledge on it. I was happy that my little knowledge could help him. Taking into count that the expert was him, I was very happy-. You're thinking about a lot of things, it's normal to get a little stuck.

-Come here -He left me aside in his seat-. Are you okay? -I arched an eyebrow.

-I'm perfectly fine -He shook his head.

-It's not what I mean.

-So, what do you mean?

-Ravi? -I opened my eyes wide and then I looked at the piano keyboard where my hands were playing.

-What are you talking about? -I played crazy.

-You like him, right?

-I like all of you -Leo sighed and then smiled.

-Are you trying to be clever? -I laughed and shook my head.

-I'm clever.

-You're right. Well, you know I'm your friend and you can tell me anything.
