Chapter 155 - A Surprise Trip (2) (1/2)

He raised his eyes and looked at Stella, his gray orbs colliding with her hazel ones. The corners of his lips turned up as he cleared his throat. His fingers began to pluck the strings, creating a soft melody as the fire cackled in the background.

With the strings vibrating acoustically through the air, producing sound, he began to sing ”Just The Way You Are” by ”Bruno Mars”.

**Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'

Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me ”Do I look okay?”

I say'**

He shifted his gaze towards Stella, who was looking at him with her eyes widened in shock as his soothing voice reached her ears, cutting through the calm air coming inside the room from one of of the opened windows, vibrating through her entire body. The corners of his lips tugged upwards as he continued to sing, still holding her gaze.

**When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause girl you're amazing

Just the way you are

Yeah**

The movements of his fingers over the strings were like magic, his deep yet mellow voice strucking the chords of her heart, engulfing her in his calming warmth.

**Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say**

Stella couldn't break away from his gaze. She was always mesmerized by his gray eyes. They were as deep as the ocean, holding an entire world within them.

**When I see your face

There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are
