"Which should I press first..." I placed my hands on the thingy, imitating the move that I have seen from movies, and pressed it smoothly.
It made a loud sound, making me spun around to check the door and sighed in relief when I don't see him there.
I pressed another again and stopped when I've realized that something is missing. "Emotions!" I blurted. Oh right, I almost forgot about it.
I laughed at my forgetfulness and suddenly remembered Kousei from Your Lie in April.
He was beyond amazing even though the music he played were all classical songs which I'm not totally familiar with but still, the way he played the piano, it was full of emotions. He looked like a rockstar. He was banging his head from different angles and pressing his hands on the piano like he was drumming. It felt like something inside me has connected with Kousei while watching him perform. It felt like I was starting to see my emotions dancing in the air.
Bubbles, flowers, and other happy things when I felt happy and dark, trapped under the deepest part of myself when I felt sad.
It definitely was incredible.
I positioned myself in front of the piano, raising my head and my hands in the air while imagining like I was some rockstar. I counted from one to three and pressed my fingers against the rectangular thingies, feeling the emotion inside me as I sang,
"Do...re...mi! Fa so...la ti dooo!" I sang wholeheartedly as I did the headbang, my face twisting and turning up and down and side to side while the expressions on my face changes, showing my emotions that would turn from angry to happy and to sad.
"Do Do! Remiii! Faso la ti...do!" I ended it with my right hand on the air and my head glancing up above, eyes closed.
Omg, I just did it! I don't know if I sounded alright since I don't really know how to sing but I'm glad I tried!
I do hope he didn't hear me—!!
"Pfft." I jumped out of surprise and looked at my side, spotting Neal standing at the doorway while holding his stomach, trying to stop himself from bursting into laughter.
when did he...? I mean, how long was he...?
"HAHAHAHAHA...!" He couldn't hold it any longer and laughed. His face was painted red as he slouched slightly, still holding his stomach as he leaned against the doorway.
Was it really that funny?
I crossed my arms and waited for him to stop but it seemed impossible. I faked coughed and it seemed to get his attention. He wiped off the tears from his eyes and grinned.
"Fuck. That was hilarious." He let out a small laugh again.
My eyes had widened at him when I suddenly realized the things that he just did. He just..."You just did a belly laugh! And, you...grinned." I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand.
What he did was so adorable!
He stared at me, his grin was still plastered on his face as he walked towards me, his hands on his pockets.
Shit, he's even more handsome the last time I saw him.
"Wanna see more of it? You should do it again, then." He said and smirked.
"What a cocky bastard!" I rolled my eyes at him. His gaze then went to the piano for a second and then back at me.
"I should have punished you for being in this room but with that hilarious performance you just did, I won't."
"So, I'm now a clown? Is that it?"
"Well, technically, you are the clown of my life." For a moment, I was stunned by what he just said. I stared at him and he was serious. 'Maybe he's not really good at joking?' I thought and shrugged it off, deciding to change the topic instead.
"Can you play the piano? I want to hear it."
"If it's you, why not?" He sat down on the wooden rectangular bench. I sat beside him silently, not minding his weirdness.
"What do you want me to play?"
"Anything, as long as you sing too." He didn't speak after that and positioned himself properly as he started to play.
Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
The way he played, the way he sang, the way he touched the rectangular things on the piano so softly as if caressing a baby was making my heart beat abnormally on my ribcage.
My heart for you?
His voice was like an angel's. It was a lullaby, a melody screaming of pure and honest emotions, a lone star shining through the darkness and a rose out in the desert—if that's even possible. I could sleep and listen to this all day long.
Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?
He looked at me, locking his eyes with mine as he continued to sing. Why is he looking at me? And, why does his song hurt? It's like I've been stabbed in the chest.
Is the song for me?
I felt something weird on my stomach again. Butterflies? Does it feel like this?
In your mind could you ever be
Really close to me?
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I could be certain then
I would say the things
I want to say tonight
He broke his gaze away from mine and looked up while closing his eyes as he continued until the very end.
But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream that someday you'll be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I could be certain then
I would say the things
I want to say tonight
But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
The way I feel inside
I gave him a standing ovation and clapped my hands. "Wow. You are so good! The song just now, who did you sing it for?"
He looked at me and grimaced.
"It's for you. All for you."

Of course not." I whispered while walking down the hall and into the elevator.Does he really hate choco floats for him to act that way? Maybe he was referring to it when he said something about his death or something or maybe he doesn't really want to share.Shouldn't be surprised when it's Neal.I decided to buy water for the both of us so I exited the room. He asked me where I was going but I just told him that I'll buy something so I forgot to ask if there was a cafeteria in this place or perhaps some store.Well, there has to be. It isn't impossible after all if there really is. Not in this company of his.I am now in t

He tapped the invisible dust on his dark-colored plain suit and fixed his necktie.He has a pretty good memory."Err, I forgot about it." I looked up at the floor indicator and luckily there was a 'bing' sound, signifying that we are on the sixth floor.We stepped outside and wow, I was amazed. There were a lot of models—men and women all around the place. They were in different clothes, the others going in and out of a room. I have also seen a lot of photographers--which I knew right away since they were carrying their cameras with them.They were all busy until someone saw Neal and greeted him and in just a split second, all eyes were on him."Good afternoon, sir!""Welcome back sirrrr!""Holly molly, it's

How do you read it?"It's actually The V's. Means The Valastro's. The Valastro's modeling company. It was technically my mother's company passed on to me. She made the name so I decided to keep it in memory of her.""Ohh." I didn't ask about it any further. We parked right in front of it, where a sign says 'for the family only.'Neal hastily went out of the car and went to my side. He opened the door for me again. I stepped outside and inhaled the scent of flowers that were nearby. I could tell that he really loves nature."I'll carry it." He said as he took the paper bags that I was carrying.What a gentleman.I followed

DaV's• • • • •I became speechless. Well, obviously Kira, the song is for you since you have requested it. But maybe what he really meant is the other meaning that I'm still trying to understand?"Thank you. That's...wonderful." That was all I could say. Sighing out of disappointment, he stood up from his seat and looked at me deep in the eyes as if trying to tell me something through staring that he can't possibly say out loud but failed in the process.He sighed once again. I tilted my head to the side, confused by what he was trying to convey to me."You are still confused. But not for long. I'll show you so that you'll understand.""Understand what? Why don't you just tell me? I'll listen.""You'll listen but you won't understand. You'll have doubts if I would tell you so it's best if I'd show it to

Curiosity• • • • •After all, it surely is still rare seeing him like this so without a second thought, I grabbed the opportunity and did as what he had told me to. It was not long after time has passed and he was fast asleep."Cutie." I smiled at him. His action was so precious that I want to just protect him from anything bad that could taint his innocence - which is already impossible since he has already chosen a path, but even so, I want to bring back the genuineness that he once had. If he doesn't want to, then I'll find and do it my way.I placed both of my hands on my chest and squeezed myself more into him. He moved closer to me too and tightened his arm that was wrapped around me as I close my eyes and fell asleep.• • • •"Old man? Where are you?" My voice echoed through the big and empty space while I
