Shy
Kelsi was shy. She had always been, it was the only way that Troy had ever known her. She was the girl who sat in the back and did nothing except play her piano and write the wonderful songs that she would write. Troy loved to watch her from a distance when she didn't know he was watching. When she was alone it seemed like her shyness, her cover, went away.
Troy sat in the back of the music room with his notepad and started scribbling random doodles on his paper. Kelsi was sitting at the piano hitting on keys and trying to complete the rest of her song she was working on. Kelsi told Troy she'd be here, and Troy snuck in to watch her, even though Kelsi told him not to. But he loved to watch his girlfriend write her songs, it was the best way to spend the day.
Troy glanced up at her and caught her eye. Kelsi smiled and tapped the space on the piano bench next to her. Standing off of the metal chair Troy walked over to KElsi and sat next to her. "It sounds great." Troy told Kelsi and Kelsi nodded her head.
"I guess. I mean the hook is kind of rough." She mumbled and Troy nodded his head. He didn't agree, but he knew how hard Kelsi was on herself, and he wasn't going to disagree. She'd get it sooner or later.
"You'll get it. You always do." Troy convinced Kelsi and Kelsi laughed and hit a couple more keys.
"I guess so." Kelsi mumbled and Troy senses her shy cover coming back. It seemed to pop up a lot whenever Kelsi was writing in front of Troy and especially when they were talking about her writing.
"You want me to go back to my chair?" Troy asked trying to be as nice and comforting as he could be to Kelsi. He hated to see her shy and uncomfortable.
Kelsi shook her head and glanced up at Troy. "No. I mean, I want you here. It's just hard sometimes. Sorry." Kelsi mumbled and Troy shook his head, he couldn't even believe that Kelsi was sorry for it. He loved her, every part of her, and he wasn't going to make her feel sorry. Ever.
"Don't be sorry." Troy mumbled back as he wrapped his arm around Kelsi's waist. He leaned near her and Kelsi turned her head to glance at Troy.
"Thanks." Kelsi said and smiled at Troy.
"Sure." Troy replied and kissed Kelsi on the lips. Kelsi kissed him back quickly and turned back to her piano.
Troy smiled as Kelsi started to write more of the song and he knew that she was pushing the shy away to let him in. And Troy knew that took a lot from Kelsi and it meant a lot that she was trying.
