Seraphim refused to come out of her room the next day, when Seto knocked she threw a pillow at the door and screamed at him to go away.
Seto sighed dejectedly and slouched off to the library.
A few hours later, Seraphim tip toed out of her room to a room that she hadn't shown Seto on his grand tour of the house.
Climbing up a narrow staircase, she entered a small room. It had a balcony window and a loveseat. The only other accessory in the room was a baby grand piano. It glistened black in the late afternoon light. Seraphim sighed and sat down, running her fingers over the keys.
'He's so hard to figure out,' she thought silently.
The opening notes of a song flowed from her finger as they danced gracefully on the polished ivory keys. Soon, her voice joined the melody.
*We were strangers
Starting out on a journey*
Seraphim watched carefully the placement of her fingers.
*Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through*
Seto's ears perked up, Seraphim was singing. He could just tell that was her voice. Following the sound, he noticed a hidden staircase she hadn't shown him.
*Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing*
Seto walked into the room, seeing Seraphim sitting at the piano, her fingers flying lightly over the keys.
*At the beginning with you*
Then, Seto surprised Seraphim by taking up the next lines.
*No one told me
I was going to find you*
Seraphim turned her head, and gasped when she saw Seto standing there answering her song.
*Unexpected
What you did to my heart*
Seto walked over to Seraphim and sat next to her on the piano bench.
*When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start*
Seraphim's tinkling soprano voice joined Seto's deep one.
*Life is a road
And I wanna keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey*
The two voices harmonized sweetly, both thinking in the back of their minds 'What next? What will happen next?'
*I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you*
Seraphim took up the next line alone.
*We were strangers on a crazy adventure*
Then Seto took the next two lines.
*Never dreaming how our dreams would come true*
And Seraphim joined him once more.
*Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I wanna keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you*
Coming towards the bridge, Seraphim turned to face Seto, her eyes questioning.
*I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark*
His eyes answered, speaking volumes for something he couldn't find the words to say.
*Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart*
Half her questions still unanswered, Seraphim turned away.
Life is a road
And I wanna keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....*
Seraphim's voice trembled, rising and falling with the next line that was hers alone.
*Starting out on a journey*
And Seto joined her once more.
*Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing*
Seraphim turned to Seto once again, trying to figure out what exactly he wanted from her.
*At the beginning
with you...
mmm...*
Seraphim's hands played across the keys as the last few notes hovered in the air. Neither dared to move, to break the special moment of bonding. Neither wanted to face the other, to talk about what had happened the previous night.
"I'm sorry for last night," they both spoke at the same time.
"I heard something...and...I thought you had left...and..." Seto trailed off, remembering the tingling feeling of her lips on his.
"I...I shouldn't have run from you...I, it was just...so startling and...I was so surprised. And I thought you did it on purpose," Seraphim exclaimed. 'And...I liked it,' she added to herself.
"Let's just forget about it," Seto offered.
"Right...just...forget about it," Seraphim repeated. 'Forget about it? Meaning...forget you ever thought he was attracted to you. It's like he said the first time, he was caught up in the moment.'
"Yeah, so, it's kinda late and...you haven't eaten all day by...keeping me out and...stuff."
Seraphim smiled embarrassedly. "Um, you're right...let's eat dinner. I'll cook," she offered in atonement.
"Okay," Seto agreed as he led the way out of the quaint little room.
Seto looked around. "Um...Seraphim?"
"Hmm?"
"Where are we?"
Chapter 6 end. eh...sorry about the shortness, it was cause of the song. But i had the idea and it wrecks the rest of my romantic plot but ah who cares. I have a backup!!! ^-^ so yeah, r&r. okay let's make it...ten reviews. *phew* that should be enough time.
