Amber

"Sing another one!!" Someone shouts and others agree.
I look at uma unsure and she nods at me. I kneel down and pull up another instrumental.
I stand up and nod at Harry who presses play.

I begin singing the song, the drink in me helping me be brave enough to do another one.

"Well, I've been deep in this sleeplessness
I don't know why
Just can't get away from myself
When I get back on my feet I'll blow this open wide
And carry me home in good health
God it's been so long
Wide awake that I feel like someone else
I miss the way that you saw me
Or maybe the way I saw myself
But I came back to you broken
And I've been away too long
I hear the words I've spoken
And everything comes out wrong
I just can't get this together
Can't get where I belong
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Well I've been deep in this sleeplessness
I don't know why
Just can't get away from myself
When I get back on my feet I'll blow this open wide
And carry me home in good health
Screaming
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love?
From fable to fumble
From stable to stumble
Never more
I'll say goodbye to my demons
And all my breakevens
Ever yours
I, I won't come back to you broken
I won't stay away too long
Even the words I've spoken
They seem to still come out wrong
I get my sh-t back together
Get right where I belong
Who do you love?... (who do you love? who do you love)
Well I've been deep in this sleeplessness
I don't know why
Just can't get away from myself
When I get back on my feet I'll blow this open wide
And carry me home in good health
Screaming
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Everything's goes quiet
It's like I just can't move
You say I might as well try it
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing will change if you never choose
Well I've been deep in this sleeplessness
I don't know why
Just can't get away from myself
When I get back on my feet I'll blow this open wide
And carry me home in good health
Well I've been deep in this sleeplessness
I don't know why
Just can't get away from myself
When I get back on my feet I'll blow this open wide
And carry me home in good health
Screaming
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love? who do you love?
Who do you love?..."

When I finish everyone claps and cheers once again.

I stare at the ground as I attempt to get down but I'm honestly slightly dizzy.

Harry walks over and holds out his arms. I hesitate then allow him to help me down me. When my feet are on the ground safely I still nearly fall over he helps keep me steady as I laugh.

He looks down at me, a smile on his lips," ye still ne'er fail to amaze me. Who knew ye could do that?"

I shake my head," no one did. First time I sung in front of someone."

I turn away from him and put my speaker back in my bag and go to grab my phone but he snatches it up first.

I glare over at him," Harry give it back."

He stands there for a moment thinking then grins," nah."

I sigh, holding my hand out," I don't feel like doing this right now. Give it back you are clearly not to be trusted around it."

"To bad lass," he smirks," we're doing this now. Don't ye want to know what I thought about it? Or how I felt?"

I glare at him," no not really. I could really care less."

He leans closer his smirk even more wide, and his breath clearly showing he's been drinking as well," I don't believe ye."

I lunge forward to grab my phone but he dodges laughing, " well if ye wanna play that way, have it yer way~" He takes off running into the trees.

I chase after him and lose him in the dark and the twists and turns of the trees. I sigh and lean against the tree. If his reaction was bad I don't want to know.

Suddenly my hands are grabbed and pinned to the tree above me. Harry stepping quickly and gracefully around the tree as he does so.

"Step three~" he hums in my ear softly," don't let yer guard down."

He leans up and looks down at me, extremely close. I feel my face heat up as I try to pull my hands free but he holds them firmly.

I huff, "let me go."

He smirks at me," why will I do that? It's much more fun to watch ye squirm."

I glare up at him, "I'm not scared of you Harry Hook."

He tilts his head to the side still smirking, " not even a wee bit?"

I hold my head as high as I can without our faces meeting, my eyes locked to his. A battle of who would give up first.

"No," I simply say.

"But ye are afraid of what I have ta say," he replies amused.

"Not really," I reply even though I know that's a lie. I honestly don't know what's going on or what he's thinking.

"Wouldn' ye like ta know the answer ta yer question?" He hums out amused by our back and forth.

I roll my eyes," what question?"

He grips both of my hands in one hand and the other one grazes my cheek gently before resting on it," the one ye sang."

I looked at him confused, what question did I sing?

"Do ye trust me?" He asks.

"I shouldn't," I reply," but I do."

"Prove et then. Close yer eyes," he whispers," and don't try ta run away."

I watch him closely unsure what he's going to do. My whole body jittery with anticipation. He releases my hands and pauses as I lower them to my sides. He places his other hand on the tree by my head, staring at me waiting. I sigh and close my eyes to see why he wants me to. The curiosity outweighing my anger at him.

His hand on my cheek slides to the back of my head as I feel his lips press into mine gently.

My eyes fly open in shock as a tingle goes through me, he continues to softly and slowly kiss me as if waiting to see my reaction.

I close my eyes again and wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back.
His hand that was on the tree goes to my lower back as he pulls me closer, his kiss growing in passion. My mind in complete shambles as to what's going on and why. 

When he finally pulls away he trails his lips to my ear as he whispers, " the answer is I love ye, Amber."

He immediately goes back to kissing me not giving me the chance to react or reply.

My arms tighten around him as my fingers intertwine in his hair. I just try to enjoy the moment, who knows what will change when he sobers up tomorrow. If he figures out he didn't  mean it then there's no use worrying about it.
