Chapter 16
Sing
Previous
Was he angry because I touched his piano?
By the look of his eyes I could tell he was definitely angry with me.
I stood up, stepping away from his piano immediately and I looked at him.
"Edward, I am- I- I am so sorry Edward, I- I didn't mean to-"
He cut me off. "Why did you stop?" he asked. I thought he was angry with me.
"I didn't ask for your permission to play your piano. I am sorry," I apologized. He picked the food from the floor and he approached me.
He put the disc on the couch and he looked me in the eyes. He put his hand on my cheek as he whispered.
"Can you play again?" he asked.
"I- I ca-… Su- Sure," I said hesitantly.
I sat on the piano again, still without my shirt, and I started to play a song that I had played for three years. It had been three years since I last played. Since I was nineteen.
I pushed the keys but I didn't sing. I didn't like my voice so much, even if I really enjoyed singing.
I didn't sing but I could feel Edward wrapping his hands around my waist.
"Please, sing," he almost begged.
I took a deep breath and I started to sing.
"How can I decide what is right? When you clouding up my mind? I can't win your losing fight all the time. All the time…"
I took another deep breath.
"Not gonna ever own what is mine, when you always taking sides, but you want to take away my pride, no not this time, not this time..." What if he didn't like my voice? Or the way I was playing?
"How did we get here? When I used to know you so well. How did we get here? Well, I think I know." Then a pair of hands surrounded my wrists and I stopped playing.
I knew he didn't like the way I was playing. Damn it!
"You didn't like the-" I tried to ask but his lips meet mine hungrily. His hands went towards the back of my neck, pushing my face to his.
I wasn't prepared for this kiss; so deep and so sudden. I didn't take a good breath so I pulled away first to breathe.
"Bella," Edward said with his eyes wide. "That was awesome," he said in awe.
"Yes, Edward, it was. Your kisses are always-"
"Not the kisses," he interrupted me. "The way you sing. Your voice is perfect," he said as he leant down to kiss me one more time.
"Really?" I asked when our lips finally separated.
"Yes, your voice is… I don't know what to say," he said.
"Well… thank you," I said finally.
He smiled as he buried his face in my neck.
Suddenly I remembered something.
"You didn't tell me about your father," I said.
He breathed heavily. "Can't we skip this part?" he asked.
"But Edward, you said that-"
"I know I know I said that… But I am not…" he didn't finish his sentence.
He was not ready, not yet anyway.
"Okay, Edward. I understand," I said.
"Thank you." Then again he buried his face into my neck and I was moaning.
I had questions though. Several questions.
"Is this your apartment?" I asked.
I felt him laugh on my neck.
"No, Bella. This is the place I practice in," he said. Oh. He had two apartments. The practice apartment and the original one.
We stood by his piano for several minutes, kissing and touching.
After a few kisses he told me that we needed to be fed. So, we started to eat the food that he had brought.
We ate in silence for a while until he spoke.
"You are interested to be a professional singer?"
Hell, yes. I wanted to be a professional singer but I couldn't. I had been searching for a job as a singer for months now. I was waiting for some piano bars that I had called to call me back, but I was sure they didn't want a short brunette.
"Yes I am. But I can't," I said.
"I doubt that," he said.
What was on his mind?
I hated surprises.
A/N
The song is Decode by Paramore.
Teaser for chapter 17
"Will you give it to me?" he asked.
"Nope," I said.
"Why not?" he asked me, confused.
"Because I don't have yours either," I said with a big smile. I was teasing him.
"I will give it to you, right now," he said as we got into his car. We sat in our seats and he grabbed a card.
"This is my card," he said.
"Thank you," I said and I grabbed a pen from my bag. "Give me your hand," I ordered.
"I beg your pardon?" he said.
"Just give me your hand Edward," I said again. He obeyed and he gave me his right hand.
"I want the palm that you don't use to entertain Mr. Big. I don't want to it to be… disappeared." I said with laughter.
