We now had our twelve songs for our album finalised and we need to do a full practice run before going into the studio to record our album. I am currently pacing back and forth in the practice booth waiting for the girls to arrive. It was silent and I was bored. They were already running late like usual! In the corner I found a radio and stuck on my favourite radio station. The start of a song that I knew blasted through the radio and with a smile on my face started to sing along. I close my eyes and start swaying my arms along with the music, letting the lyrics run every bit of my soul pouring my feelings about Natsu into every single lyrics in this song as if I'm setting my feeling free.
"Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer"
I'm about to start singing the chorus to the song when I hear a familiar voice singing it instead. My heart skips a beat as I spin around and see Natsu standing there looking really sexy leaning against the door frame clearly previously hearing me sing the song. As he started to sing more of the song, he walks into the studio to stand in front of me, shutting the door behind him and never losing eye contact. I don't even speak. I am mesmerised by his amazing voice that the fact that he is singing a love song to me. I just let him sing the chorus as I delude myself into thinking that he is singing this directly to me as I am to him.
"I have died every day waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
He smiles at me and gestures his hand to me to let me go next, not speaking either as we feel our bodies move closer together, never losing that eye contact. It was like we were speaking to each other a message that we didn't know ourselves. I start to sing as I feel his hand slide onto my waist and I don't do anything to stop him except feel the electricity running through our bodies from the contact.
"Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, Every hour has come to this
One step closer"
I start to sing the chorus again and this time he joins me as I look deeply into his eyes. His other hand as made it onto my other side of my waist and again I don't stop it. Instead I let my free hands fall onto his chest as we sing to each other this love song, my stomach doing backflips and my heart beating profusely in my chest.
"I have died every day waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought Your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer"
As we sing that we move even closer to each other. We are almost nose to nose and we both do not move nor lose that eye contact from before. I am flushing scarlet as I pour my emotions into this song. I decide that this is my chance to tell him how I feel and hope that he realises what I am doing. The best way to converse with Natsu was through song and I am giving it my all. I start to sing.
"I have died every day waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid, I have loved you"
and then we join in together
"for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
Our faces are now so close, we can feel each other's breath on our faces. The music on the radio in the background forgotten, the fact that we are in a recording studio waiting for our friends to turn up forgotten. All that matters now is the man in front of me, who is holding me by my waist and his amazing eyes that have not lost contact with mine since we started singing. My breathing becomes hitched as I feel his right hand come off my hip and move to cup my face slightly feeling the now familiar feel of electricity run between us which ignites my skin. If it is possible my face turns even more red and we are standing there in our own bliss. I see his face lean forward slightly. Shit he is going to kiss me. I feel myself moving my head up to meet his. Shit! I'm about to kiss him! I'm about to kiss Natsu Dragneel! I ready myself as I feel a rush of excitement as our lips almost touch.
We suddenly hear the door slam open and we hear everyone come in chatting and laughing away but suddenly stop at the door frame with shocked faces and go instantly silent.
"What's going on here?"
….. Shit!
