Shades of Mr. Faulkerson(COMPLETED)

SOF: Chapter 54

I roll over in the bed and look to my right. While Richard is sleeping, I can't seem to find any sleep at all. I sigh as i lift myself and get out of the bed. I put on a silk dressing gown before I leave the bedroom. I walk into the music room, which is right next to the bedroom.

I open the door and feel the atmosphere right away. The atmosphere of inspiration. The atmosphere where I can compose and write songs. An atmosphere of happiness.

I sit down the music stool. he said the room is soundproof. Let's try it out then.

(A/N The song Title is My kind of Love by Emeli Sande)

🎹I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try
Sometimes the truth won't make you happy
So I'm not gonna lie
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you
I know I'm far from perfect
Nothing like your entourage
I can't grant you any wishes
I won't promise you the stars
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you
'Cause when you given up
When no matter what you do, it's never good enough
When you never thought that it could ever get this tough
That's when you feel my kind of love.

It's like my mouth find the right words without even looking for it. My heart tells me to sing, what to say.....What to write down. I smile as I continue playing.

And when you're crying out
When you fall and then can't pick
You're heavy on the ground
When the friends you thought you had haven't stuck around
That's when you feel my kind of love
You won't see me at the parties
I guess I'm just no fun
I won't be turning up the radio
Singing baby you're the one
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you

My head turn around and I see Richard standing in the door frame. Yeah it's only sound proof when I closed the door. Shit. I woke him up. But man this man can sing! He has a beautiful voice! A voice so pure, so beautiful, I could listen to it all day long.

I know sometimes I get angry and I'd say what I don't mean
I know I keep my heart protected, far away from my sleeve
But don't ever question that my heart beats only for you
It beats only for you.

I stare shocked as he walks over to me. He can sing! He can sing! Of course he can sing Richard Faulkerson can do anything.

I stop playing and eyeball him. He doesn't seem tired. "I'm sorry for waking you up." I apologize as he gets seated next to me. "I should have closed the door."

He smiles softly, "You really think I can sleep when you're laying next to me, acting all "Sleepless in Seattle" like?"

I smile innocently at him and shrugg. "Maybe."

"It's a nice song."

"Speaking of the song, you should have told me that you could sing, Mr. Faulkerson." I say to him, feeling his hand on my cheeks.

"I don't sing. Never."

"You just did."

"I helped you out."

I raise an eyebrow at him.

He sighs, "Fine. I only sing for you."

"Just like you only play for me."
