Matt Brown: A Year of Short Stories

Twenty Three: Beautiful Soul

Christina wasn't expecting Matt to show up one day with his guitar and start singing to her one day. She had always thought he was a nice guy. On this day, he showed up at her door and asked if he could come in and play her a song. She told him he could come into her house. So he walked into the house and sat down on the couch and started tuning his guitar. As soon as he got done tuning the guitar, he asked her to sit down next to him and to listen to the song that he was about to sing to her. So she sat down next to him and got ready to listen to him sing to her. In her head she was wondering why he was going to sing to her. Secretly she didn't think that she was good enough for him. Just as she was thinking of those thoughts he started singing, "I don't want another pretty face." Right then and there all of her negative thoughts stopped, but then they turned into confusion. She wondered why he would be singing that song to her. She got out of her head and looked at Matt. He was smiling at her as he was singing this song to her. So he finished the song and asked her what she thought about him singing to her and the song that he had picked out. She told him that it was great but why would he sing to her. He told her that she was the one who opened his heart and soul. He also told her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and nobody else.

Author Note: This song and story idea has been stuck in my head for days, so finally I got a chance to work it out.
