Chapter 8
A/N: Here goes chapter 8…thnkz for all the reviews…opinions and comments are always welcome. Juz wanna tell u dat I'm not good at writing romance fic….so forgive me if I am not doing it well…anyway it's suppose to be more of action/adventure…but I guess I'm not doing that either…sorry…
BTW, there might be some problem in reading chapter 4 onwards…if there are big spaces between the sentences, it means that the scene changed
"It's Am…not major." Katie said while pointing at the guitar chords on the paper.
"O…ok…" Alex mumbled while changing the chords.
After strumming the last few chords, Katie clapped and the song ended.
"You can rest for a while."
Alex was about to put his guitar down when Katie held out her hands for it. He handed it over to her.
Katie started strumming a few chords and sang her favourite verse:
It's not your eyes that l had fallen for
It's not your smile that I had melted
It's not your beauty that I had always like
It's just you that I had always love
"Have you ever thought of composing your own songs?" Alex asked.
"Me?" Katie laughed, "Please…You'll need more than knowledge of playing the guitar. You need inspiration, talent, and more…"
"Well, you could try…"
"Maybe…but not in a near future…" Katie said while giving him back the guitar.
"Ok…what song are you teaching me now?"
"Hmm…let me see…" Katie dug through her bag for a while. A VCD fell out of her bag.
The Italian Job
"Hey! I haven't seen this one yet!"
"Yeah…me too…I borrowed from Jenna last month….haven't have the time to watch it yet. I'm planning to watch it tonight, join me."
"Yeah…okay…"
"Oh…here it is! How about you learn 'When you say nothing at all'?"
They were sitting in the mansion's home theatre. There were popcorns, chips and cans of soft drinks on the table beside the red couch. The lights were off; the only source of light was from the huge plasma screen.
Katie sat with her legs on the stool in front of her. A blanket over herself, Katie watched the movie with much comfort.
For Alex, he on the couch beside Katie and leaned back comfortably.
The movie ended. Katie stood up and yawned openly.
"Sleepy already?" Alex asked while stretching himself.
"No." Katie retort back. "In fact, are you up to the Harry Potter movie marathon?"
"Why not?"
Three quarter way through the 3rd movie, Katie started to doze off. Her head fell on to Alex's shoulder unexpectedly. Alex, who was engrossed in the movie, didn't notice a weight on his shoulder.
After the movie ended, Alex wanted to stand up and stretch himself. Something prevents him from doing so. Alex glanced at the sleeping Katie.
She couldn't even hold for 3 movies, and how is she going to win me, the champion of movie marathon? Alex thought fondly
Alex stared at Katie. She was breathing slowly and softly. She looked so peaceful. Alex couldn't suppressed a genuine smile. He used his hand to brush a lock of hair on her face.
Looking closely, Katie's actually very pretty. No wonder that Chris guy kept on bugging her Alex thought.
His heart started beating hard.
Alex slowly and gently place Katie's head on the couch's armrest. He covered Katie with the blanket and pulled the cushion to rest he head.
Alex cleared all the Coke cans and other trash. Then, he sat down on the couch at the other side of the room.
Alex stirred up when he heard footsteps approaching. His vision started to get clearer and he realized that the butler was standing in front of him.
"Master Rider, would you like to have your breakfast served here?"
"In the dinning room as usual would be fine. Thank you."
The butler gave a small bow and left the room.
Alex walked towards Katie. She was still sleeping soundly.
Alex sighed and shook Katie.
"Wakey wakey…it's already…" Alex glanced at his watch.
"10 a.m."
Alex tried to shook her harder but unsuccessful. In the end, Alex sat down on the floor and decided to wait.
30 minutes have passed. The butler returned to the room to see if Alex is ready for breakfast.
"Master Rider, if you are trying to wake Miss Wilson up, I'll give you some tips."
Katie could feel droplets of water on her face. Katie slowly opened her eyes, only to find another drop of water dripping into her eyes. Katie instinctively closed her eyes. Using her hands to wipe all other droplets of water on her face, Katie quickly jumped up from the couch.
Alex was taken aback when Katie suddenly stood up. Katie knocked Alex over, resulting him to land on the couch. Katie, unfortunately, was also surprised and landed on top of Alex.
This time, Katie was too shock to shout at Alex for waking her up so 'early'.
"Alex…"
Their faces were so close. Both of them could feel themselves turning red. But neither of them wanted to move.
"Erm…Miss, do you want your breakfast served here or in the dining room?" The awkward butler asked.
Katie quickly stood up, noticing the forgotten butler, and answered, "The dining room would be fine. I'll be there in 5 minutes. Thank you."
Alex also stood up.
The butler left the room, leaving the 2 teenagers to stand awkwardly.
"Erm…I think we should wash up and go and have breakfast."
"Good idea."
They both left the room without saying anymore words, but thinking exactly the same thing.
Maybe I'm falling for him/her already…
