Thanks to @JustPlay_AT for the idea
When Alexander first came into the office, it had been hate at first sight. He was annoying, stuck up, and always thought he was right. Not to mention he played right up to Washington to make himself a favorite. However, things have been changing recently between me and him. I have genuinely wanted to get to know him better and genuinely wanted to change the way things were between us. I just never got the chance, until recently...
I didn't exactly mean to stumble in on him, but it happened. I don't exactly regret it either but, it's still a surprise when you walk in on someone on something they've obviously been hiding. But the singing I heard behind that door was quite hard to ignore, and before I knew it, the door opened and I (almost) fell into the room.
Alexander jumped in surprise, rapidly putting the hard to hide guitar behind himself. He became defensive almost instantly, "What the hell are you doing here, Jefferson?"
"Slow your roll, Hamilton, it was an accident! No need to be all guard dog, it's just a guitar", I retaliated, still shocked at how easily his mood changed.
"Well it was a private room, and the door was loc—"
"It wasn't."
"..well I thought it had been locked and you have no reason to be here. Please just leave." He looked so embarrassed and upset. I felt a little bad.
"Look, Hamilton, I didn't mean to but I heard the most wonderful singing coming out the room so..I decided to explore", I stated. Somehow made Hamilton blush, which made no sense.
"Have you... never shown anyone your singing?" He shook his head gently. I sighed and plopped myself down in front of him.
"Let's hear it then."
"Are you insane?! Hell no! Why would I show you?! Of all people! You're just looking for stuff to make fun of me for", he began yelling, again getting defensive. I shook my head. "Look Ham, I honestly just wanna hear this."
His glare softened and he put his guitar strap back on. "Fine. No one has heard this before so.."
He strummed a bit, then began.
"Have you got color in your cheeks'
Do you ever get the feeling that you can't shift the tide
That sticks around like something's in your teeth
And some aces up your sleeve
I had no idea that you're in deep
I dreamt about you near me every night this week
How many secrets can you keep'
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
When I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying
things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawlin' back to you.
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and
if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt it's just I'm constantly
on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together, if you wanted to
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying
things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (calling when you've had a few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you, (do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying
things that you can't say tomorrow day
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know)
Do you want me crawling back to you?"
My eyes widened as Alex ended and I began to clap.
"Wow..."
Alex smiled at me. "Y'know, you're the first person I've shown this too.."
"I'm very honored. You're extremely talented.. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN SOME OFFICE JOB?!"
"I had a deal with Washington, and even then, it's hard to get noticed in the music industry." I stared in shock for a little more.
Slowly our conversation strayed away from music and we both began to leave the office. I didn't know it at that time of course, but something definitely started to grow where the hatred had once been. I didn't know it, and Hamilton didn't know it either, but something had definitely begun to grow between us. Almost like a friendship...
A/n: hey guys! I've returned. I can't say I'll update regularly, but I've returned for a bit. A lot has happened. Got dumped, got with a new guy and he's definitely planning to stay. My dog died and the other one ran away so there's only one left :( and I've been pretty active on Instagram. So if y'all wanna talk to me about sum, just drop a follow @ilu_dani
I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter, definitely took a while. I love y'all.
