Hidden Secrets

4- Constant

"Sir Charles!" We've been here for slightly over a week, meaning it's now December 8th, he told me to knock on his door when i'm ready so we can head into town

After waiting for a moment he doesn't answer, trying to open the door it falls open, who doesn't lock their door?

I walk in, the house is almost exactly the same layout as mine despite his obvious different choice in decorating

"Charles?" no answer

I walk upstairs, knocking on his bedroom door, no answer

As I walk further down the hall I hear music behind the last door, opening it quietly I find him, sitting alone playing with his back to me. I try to substain my smile but my attempt fails

I slowly walk over to him, sitting beside him his dimples grow evident

"Valentine"

"Valentina, not Valentine" I return his smile as he uses my middle name

"Okay Valentine"

We sit in silence as he plays the piano for a while, I lean my elbows on the edge of the piano, resting my head in my hands and closing my eyes, listening to the song projecting through the room

"are you enjoying the song?"

"Mhm" He continues playing while I enjoy the peaceful moment until suddenly he stops

"Why'd you stop" I frown opening my eyes

"Because I want to see your eyes, not your eyelids, it worked didn't it"

"Yeah yeah, whatever, now what exactly am I supposed to be here for?"

"Let me go change then we can go"

"Okay" he leaves the room as i'm left alone on the bench, I can totally play a song

I used to love the titanic movie, ever since I heard about what happened and my friend knew piano, so she taught me that one song, I was 15 so it's been a while

I set my fingers up on the piano, playing the first notes before messing up, I continue to try until I hear his footsteps making me turn around

"What are you playing?"

"I'm attempting to play the titanic theme song"

"Well, that's not weird at all, come on i'm ready"

"Wait let me try and play it" I continue almost getting it on the last one before I feel warm arms wrap around me, pulling me off the seat, "I was so close!"

"You can try again when we come back Valentine"

"Rude"

"I promise that's not the last time you'll have the chance to play the song"

I huff acting annoyed as we walk down the stairs into the living room

Arriving into the middle of town I smile, the cobblestone streets, the stands set up, the flowers, I love everything about this place

"Are you hungry Valentine?"

"Sure" Once we've parked I get out of the Ferrari, turning around to see Charles right beside me

After sitting down at a restaurant he looks at me as if it'll tell him everything about me

"What?"

"Questions?"
