Ocean || luke hemmings

Luke was sitting next to the ocean with guitar in his hands. Music was his passion, something he really loved. He was humming words of his favorite song. Photograph by Ed Sheeran. He loved 'We keep this love in a photograph, We made these memories for ourselves, Where our eyes are never closing, Hearts are never broken, Times forever frozen still..' part the most. He missed his best friends. Three of them went to college while Luke quit. Luke stayed in hometown to help his parents with their coffee shop. His friends were about to come home soon and Luke couldn't wait for it. Before three of them left, they used to spend every single day together. All four of them played some instruments. They used to be in a band in high school. They even wrote a few songs. 'Those were times' Luke thought, like it was 20 years ago.

Luke's thoughts were broken by sound of steps coming closer. He looked up and saw brunette girl.

"Hi." She shyly said.

"Hi."  He said back.

"You play?" She asked while sitting next to him.

Luke nod with a smile.

"I always wanted to learn to play."

"It's not that hard."

Luke gave guitar to her. He sat behind her putting his hands on top of hers, showing her some chords.

When Indigo exited the house, she didn't expect she'd be learning how to play guitar. But there she was, in 'ocean eyed' guy's arms learning how to play. Luke, his name was Luke.

"Put your finger here.., and other one here."

Luke moved Indigo's fingers. Both of them had smile on their faces.

"Can you play for me?" Indigo asked Luke after some time.

Without a word Luke sat back at his old place taking the guitar from Indigo's hands.

"Within a minute I was all packed up..."

Indigo was amazed by Luke's skills. He played the guitar very well. And his voice. Oh my God his voice. How could he be so perfect. She was speechless when he finished.

"Luke.., That's beautiful." She said after some time.

"Really?"

"Yes. Oh my God, yes!"

This made Luke's day. The girl he really liked, liked the song he wrote with his friends.

"You wrote that?" She asked because the song wasn't familiar to her.

"With my friends."

Indigo nod not knowing what to say. She was still impressed with Luke's voice. Luke's skills in particular. He looks stunning. He plays. He sings. He even writes songs. How?

Luke continued to hum some slow, relaxing song while she enjoyed every little moment of it...
