A light melody wafted through the air , along with intricate harmonies. The difficult piece was enough to make well-trained pianists run , but the brunette sitting on the edge of the dark piano bench made it look easy. Her talented fingers hit the keys in such a fashion that it was no longer just music , but a work of art. It was clear that Emily Prentiss was no piano novice , she was most definitely a connoisseur with her skills.
Derek watched from the doorway as his girlfriend got lost in the music. It was almost as if she was the music, a living breathing melody. There were so many things he had learned about Emily after she moved into his cozy home. The soft music came to a stop and Emily turned to notice Derek in the doorway.
" How long have you been standing there?" Emily wondered , her voice matching the softness of the piano melody.
" Your amazing. How come you never told me you could play like that?" Derek answered , with another question.
" You didn't answer my question , but I've been playing piano since I was six. Unlike any other language I had to learn to fit in , music was always universal. I guess that made me more determined to play well. Now it's just something I like to do from time to time." Emily ran her fingers over the keys , deep in thought.
" Did you know it's National Piano Month?" Emily scooched over and beckoned for Derek to come and sit next to her.
" Yeah , but how did you know that?" Emily asked , figuring she already knew the answer.
" Reid was going on about September today." He placed his large hand over her smaller one.
" Of course he was. Do you want me to teach you how to play something?" Emily asked , grabbing hold of his hand.
" I just like listening to you play."
" I've got an idea. I'll place my hands on top of yours and show you the notes to a song." Emily's eyes met Derek's and the both instantaneously smiled.
A simple but enchanting melody lifted in the air , a warm softness contrast to the chilled autumn day unfolding outside. Derek liked the feel of Emily's soft hands above his calloused ones. To be honest he believed almost everything was better with Emily. Everything from waking up with the faint light of dawn above their heads , to falling asleep with the glow of the moon as their nightlight.
This wouldn't be Derek's last piano lesson. There were so many waiting in store , between the pair of Agents.
