You know the words once upon a time,
Makes you listen, there's a reason
I watched as her fingers pressed upon the ivory keys of the piano. She was inspired, I knew it. Her songs were beautiful, and so was she.
Stunning wasn't even a good enough word to describe Kelsi. She was the definition of perfection. Her beauty, wit, talent, and her heart held the brilliance that no one could match.
I had been walking away from my locker when I had heard her voice. As I listened to her play the rest of the song, I began to tense up with jealousy. Whoever this mystery man that she was writing about was, he was a very lucky man.
People in my school seem to think that since I'm an Evans, I don't have emotions. I mean, my sister may be the school slut, but I do feel. I have my emotions, my strengths, and… a weakness.
Her name was Kelsi Nielson.
Every time she giggles or sings when she's around me, it's difficult not to pour out my feelings for her right then and there. Her smile radiates an emotion inside of me that I never understood. That is, until now.
I fell in love with her.
Every day, I promise I would get up the nerve to tell her how I feel. But as you could have guessed, I fail every time.
I walk in slowly into the music room, trying to start up a conversation. "Kelsi," I say softly, "that song is fantastic."
Her head jerks up in surprise. "R-Ryan? How much have you heard?" I grinned widely at her. "Enough to determine what a fabulous songwriter you are. But I already knew that."
She grins sheepishly. "Thank you, Ryan." I sit down on the piano bench with her. "Who's the song about?" Kelsi's cheeks turn red. "Well, I wrote it for Troy and Gabriella, but it's about someone special."
I slowly inch closer to her. "And who is this someone special?" She whispers something barely audible. "Come on, Kels. You know you can tell me anything." Suddenly, she looks at me, seemingly nervous. She chews her lip nervously.
"It's…you, Ryan." She doesn't try to run away, but instead glances at the piano. "I wrote it for you. I l-like you, Ryan. A lot."
I pull her close to me her head rests on my shoulder. After a couple of minutes, she pulls away slightly. "You never told me how you felt." I tried not to smile. Instead, I kiss her.
She is taken by surprise, but wraps her arms around my neck. In return, I weave my arms around her tiny waist. She smiles against my lips. Kelsi had never kissed a boy before; she told me so.
I pull away and lean in close to her ear. "You're my weakness, Kels. It's never been anyone else." She giggles, leaning to kiss me again.
A/N: Like it? Hate it? Let me know!
Hope it was worth the wait, Katie!
