20 Chapter 20: Do you want to hear me play? (1/2)

”What's the problem?” Sid asked rather innocently.

Laurice completely lost it.

The man even has the guts to ask her what the problem is.

'Well, let me tell him! First, he forced himself to send me back. Second, he force himself to freely roam around my house. And now, he was forcing himself on staying over!'

Wait, she seems to have forgotten another thing. Right! The ultimate forceful act, the mind-boggling hug!

'Damn this man is just too open and i'm actually letting him in!??'

'I am already confusing right from wrong.' Laurice thought.

She could not tell if she was only overreacting or overanalyzing everything.

She shook her head while trying to regain back her composure.

Well, she was also unaware that a certain man has her completely wrapped around his little finger.

...

Soon, Laurice opened another door to a room that made Sid stood there in awe. It was her music room, although it wasn't complete yet, it looks pretty decent enough as everything was in place and the room was clean.

Sid wasn't familiar with what he's seeing but he could tell it's on a whole new different level. It isn't a typical music room. It looks more like a professional recording studio instead. There was a desk station the one with a lot of buttons he can never probably learn to operate, and there was one acoustic guitar hanging on the wall but the room is too spacious so he could pretty much guess that there will soon be additions to it, and some other fixtures that he didn't know about such as bass traps and acoustic panels and more. There is a different feel on the room and it's definitely the most modern out of all.

Sid got even curious.

Sid: ”... you write music?” He asked the moment he recovered from his shock.

Laurice: ”Hmm.. Sometimes, i'm not pretty skilled with recording yet but it isn't bad. When i write songs, i ultimately wanted a melody accompaniment to it so i had this room converted into a home studio.”

'She actually does music. Interesting!' Sid thought she was amazing and had this wishful thinking of watching her write music, record her own songs and play it for him. 'Only for him.'

”Do you play?” He asked while looking at the guitar. Although the answer seems pretty obvious, he still wanted to hear from her and who knows, he might actually get lucky if she ever tries playing it now

Laurice: ”The acoustic guitar? Yes.”

Sid did not reply. He remained silent as if waiting for some miracle. As if urging her to continue.

Laurice chuckled.

Laurice: ”Do you want to hear me play?”

Sid unconsciously nodded his head.

'Damn, too careless. He doesn't want to look to obvious over such matter. But he really do want to hear her play. To listen to her voice while singing him a song.

Laurice walked over to the guitar and was about to strum the guitar when Sid's phone rang.

He did not picked up immendiately and just stood there waiting.

It rang again and yet again. By then, Laurice had actually asked him to pick it up.

'This nuisance! He just missed his chance! It better be an important call or else!'

He looked at the caller and answered the phone unwillingly.

The person on the other line spoke. 'Young master, we're here. We need our identities confirmed please. Shall we ask young miss to call the guardpost? We've brought everything you've ordered young master.'

Sid: ”Wait. Call you back.”
