Sing for me

David's POV

♪♪Now the day bleeds

Into nightfall

And you're not here

To get me through it all

I let my guard down

And then you pulled the rug

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to

This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you...♪♪

"David!"

"Huh?" I placed my guitar down and adjusted my shirt to see who shouted my name even when I already knew it was my annoying roommate, James.

"What happened between you and Flourish? Because the news is all about that you guys broke up. Please tell me it's only a rumor..."

"Eiiissss, just let me be. I don't like her and you don't expect me to survive in a forced relationship with her. But wait..."

"What is it?! You scumbag!"

  But what if he likes her and wants to move closer through me since he isn't that handsome. I must be a genius if only this is true though.

  I could remember in my first year here at UI, I met him in this very room with his pencil and sketchbook in his hands. He had Flourish's picture in front of him and he had the posture that spoke as if he was about to draw. The truth is he was actually about to draw but because I came in at that point he adjusted himself and acted like he was just lazing about.

  Few weeks later when we were out to Biddin's street to buy Suya , I mistakenly bumped into Flourish. She was wearing a v-necked and long sleeved blue top over a mini jean skirt. But who made me so handsome that she had her eyes over me since then, and anywhere I appeared fingers were using pointed at me. It was really embarrassing since I was the type of person who hates to be in the spotlight.

  I could remember when she kissed the back of my palm in public. My cheeks was as red as crimson and my body started boiling. I told James about it when I got back to the hostel and he keep on shouting and blabbing making me feel like I was truly in love. But oops! Flourish and i became a broken picture in a perfect frame.

James has been the one always telling me what to do making Flourish feel like I knew everything she likes. But why is it until now I realized that I'm not the one suitable for Flourish but him...

"Ouch!" I felt a full force coming from someone's hand which was obviously James hands. And sharply I threw a dangerous glare at him

"Oops. The angel finally became demonic." He said as he laughed and we began chasing each other like little kids.

Then. Bam!

Joke's POV

"Let me sing my favorite song for you.. But promise to lie down. I'm very...."

"Shy?"

"Yes.. I'm sorry but"

"You are amazing. What's the sorry for? I understand u. I'll just lie down here and get myself beneath the blankets. So you will be singing like I am not even here."

"Ohh..." I laughed..

So Shindara jumped on her bed and I equally sat with a buttock on the edge of my bed and cleared my throat.

"So here I go..."

♪♪Bless the Lord O my soul

O my soul

Worship His Holy na...♪♪

"Wait!" I heard shindara call out to me. Did I sound so horrible that she couldn't bare with me...

"What is it ma?" I became unconsciously formal with her again.

"You only know Christian songs?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.

I nodded in affirmation. She just slammed her right hand against her forehead.

"So you don't know Billie, Ariana, Justin, Olamide, Nicki and so on?"  She asked with her eyes wide open.

"Hmm.. Are they musician..."

  "What the...! You are crazy! No sorry I didn't mean to call you that but this is crazy. Totally."

That doesn't hurt but I think it's normal. That was how I was brought up so there's no going back.

"Okay, I'm sure you would have heard their names or even their songs but you just haven't put your mind to it."

Yeah that's true. So I smiled.

"Lemme play a song for you.. It's not the mad ones you might be running from but you are going to love this!"

"But..."

"Shh..." She blocked my mouth with her little index finger on her right hand.

Soon the room was filled with sonorous tone and slowly I closed my eyes as I was sipping in every word and tone inside of me

♪♪You've got a hold of me

Don't even know your power

I stand a hundred feet

But I fall when I'm around you

Show me an open door

Then you go and slam it on me

I can't take anymore

I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hu..♪♪

"Huh? Why did u stop it?"

She laughed devilishly and said... "I thought u don't listen to them".
