Match Made On Stage

Chapter 17 - Unwanted Feelings

I stayed in my room for the whole afternoon, practicing some new songs for work. As I checked my phone, it was already 6:00 pm. I went to the weather report app, and it said that the weather situation will be continuing for the whole week. However, the roads will be cleared off after at least three days. Great. Just great.

After hours of practicing the music scores, I decided to abandon the piano and get my fingers running through guitar strings instead. I thought of writing a new song for me to sing in the café party. So I just started it. But there was this one problem. I just didn't seem to have any inspiration to even start off.

Then I heard someone at the door, "Ehem.." I said as I saw Luke peeping behind the door. He opened the door widely, until I could see him clearly standing outside the room. "Um.. May I?" He asked as he pointed at my guitar. He sat down, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and started to pluck the guitar strings. Then he started singing this beautiful song.

I need you your love to light up this house,

I wanna know what you're all about.

I wanna feel you, feel you tonight,

I wanna tell you that it's alright.

It was one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I just watched him sing the song until the second verse. When the second chorus was coming up, I took the piece of paper from his lap and sang the chorus with him. Our voices surprisingly blended smoothly. As we sing the last line of the chorus, he stopped, and stared at me with amazement. I gazed into his blue eyes. I felt him move towards me, until our faces were an inch close to each other.

"Shit. Is this happening? Is he really doing this?"

He moved closer, although not in front of my face, but to my ear.

"I've never seen the movie Titanic" He whispered. "Do me a favour and watch it with me?" He stood up and walked out my room.

I froze. As my my blood rushed through my cheeks, making me blush like crazy.

"Why didn't I move away?" I thought. "Why did I let him almost kiss me?"

I walked to the living room and saw Luke searching for Titanic. "Oh, here it is." He turned to me, smiling and holding up the CD. "Uh.. I'm gonna microwave some Pizza." I said while he was inserting the disk in the player. "Oh. Yes please" he replied as he bit the side of his lip where his lip ring was.

End of Chapter 17

Hi. I decided to get back on this, since I have the next chapters lined up in my draft. The other reason, is cause I'm bored :) Haha. Thanks for reading.
