SM owns. Not beta'd.
That time I taught her how to play...
"Why do I even listen to you? I can't do this!" She giggles.
"Bella, You're sixteen. You can learn a few chords. C'mon, I'm making it easy on you!"
I love watching Bella get frustrated. There's a little line that forms in the middle of her eyebrows when she furrows them in deep concentration.
She grunts. See? Frustrated. It's funny to watch. When I chuckle, she stares me down with her death glare, which makes me laugh even more, because she's like a little mouse trying to roar.
"Edwaaarrrddd! I can't. Just give up on me already. I don't have a musical bone in my body." She pushes the guitar away, which has clearly offended her.
"Belllaaa," I mock in response. "You gotta trust me. Believe in yourself and all that crap. Here, sit here next to me. I've got a trick."
She purses her lips and looks at me cautiously, because giving up and sitting next to me.
She smells good. She smells comforting. I don't even know what the fuck it is, but it's good. I feel calm.
I take the guitar and place it halfway on me and halfway on her.
"Place your fingers here," I wrap my arm behind her and guide her fingers to the right frets and strings. I feel her tense and try to calm her. I speak in her ear since she's so close.
"Relax, Angelgirl. It's just me. No one's gonna laugh at you, okay?"
She shivers before nodding in response. And she blushes...
I strum the chord, and she smiles.
A/N: Thanks for reading. We'll be back to the present next update later tonight. BTW, some ppl were asking about the last flashback. They met in the middle of 8th grade :)
