บท 14: Music that Binds Us

Chapter 14

viLelouch's POV

After that little performance of Andy, the three decided to call it a night.

"Hmmm, you see I have only one bedroom in here and—" Andy paused.

She's reluctant to say her mind, "… and I don't have any extra beds or mattress, so—is it okay if we sleep on the same bed together?"

Rina blurted a laugh, "I thought you're suggesting we sleep in the couch."

'I'd been eager to see your room,' she uttered in her thought.

[*******]

As expected, Rina's jaw dropped once again.

The bedroom tends toward what one might envision as luxurious. It's a breezy one that would lullaby you to sleep. The aura is calming, a queen sized bed, a wooden flooring and a glossy ceiling in chocolate.

Though it was small, a wide sliding glass door across the room, leading to the balcony makes the room visually spacious.

"I'll take a quick shower," Erika said and nudged her friend before follwing Andy, as the girl motioned where's the the bathroom among those two closed doors.

After they'd take a turn on using the bathroom, Rina asked who will be taking the side of the bed or the middle.

"I'll take left."

"I'll take right."

Both answered at the same time.

"Guess I'll be in the middle then," Rina smirked.

[********]

Andy woke up earlier than she always does. She got up in bed noticing Rina's snores but no Erika in sight. After her morning routine, she got out of the room and a soothing sound greeted her.

It was Erika on the piano.

She leaned her back on the wall, staring admiringly at the girl who sung "Million Dreams" from the movie "The Greatest Showman" beautifully.

Not a second did Andy's eyes drifted away from Erika. She was intently looking at the girl; her body movement as she sways in in the rythym, her fingers as they pressed each note and her voice that sounded like the chirping of the bird with the morning dew.

Andy tilted her head when Erika suddenly stopped.

She walked towards the girl tiptoing and with curious eyes. Erika seemed lost in her thoughts at that given time.

"How about coming with me on that Music Academy you mentioned?" Andy interrupted while grinning.

Erika snapped out of her thoughts, "Ugh, how long have you been here?" she annoyed a little annoyed.

Andy laughed seeing Erika's flustered face and just went to the kitchen without answering.

She has still that grin on her face though.

Erika followed her, "Will you stop grinning?"

"I'm not," Andy denied while smiling widely, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

'ugh'

Erika rolled her eyes.

She could still see that grin. Hence, she keep her cool and ignore it and started to make something they could eat.

'hahaha'
