My Everything
Final
I remember when I first met her. I remember when I first saw her smile and the light reflecting off her face and hair.
I stopped by her shop 3 years ago.
I was just walking around the city to hear light music playing through the open door.
I think what was playing was Chopin.
I took a step into the shop to see a well organized and variety of the instruments.
Soon I came face to face with someone that looks like an angel that’s only a year or two younger than me.
I remember hearing her speak to me in a soft tone, “Hello, may I help you.”
“Yes, I’m looking for a new piano. A grand one would be nice.”
“Well there’s a nice variety that we have in stock. They are in back I keep them there because it’s easier for loading on and off trucks.”
After that day, I always made excuses to go to the shop to see her and many of my reasons weren’t lies.
Still after a few visits, I found her name was ___ and she was the shop’s owner.
We became close friends and I found out how she came to own the shop.
It’s amazing that a girl her age had owned the shop since she was 14 years old because it belongs in her family.
It’s just when she basically took control of it when her grandfather was placed into the hospital.
My girlfriend that I had for the last 6 years left me a few months ago and had picked up the rest of her things today, but the thing is I’m not sad instead I’m happy that she left me.
I don’t know why but when I told ___ I saw something flicker in her eyes and I was happy except for the guy she’s been dating won’t break up with her.
I sigh as I reach down for my beer to hear my doorbell start going off.
“Bloody hell okay I’m coming stop pushing my buzzer.”
I sigh at how they interrupted the NBA finals and how late it is.
“Who the heck stops by people’s house? I mean from what ___ has made me read of those stupid books and manga someone is going to be there to confess her feelings or something.”
I sigh as I open the door to see ___ standing there crying and Kyuhyun right behind her.
When she notices that, I opened the door she jumps into my arms.
I hear her mumble my name.
I give Kyuhyun a death glare and he lifts his hands as he says, “I found her like this in the hallway. I just brought her to your place because I know that’s where she wanted to go.”
He looks at the time and curse making me cover ___’s ears.
“Dude she’s a year younger than you. I think she can deal with me cursing. Look I’m going to be late for my date and I really don't’ want my girlfriend to kill me so I have to go. Tell me what happens tomorrow.”
He races off and I remove my hands from ___’s ears.
She smiles even though she has tears in her eyes and a new bruise on her throat.
“___, what happened?”
“I broke up with him... I broke up with Jason. He got too possessive so I told him that I didn't love him anyways.”
“What do you mean you two were dating as long as Nana and I were dating?”
“I might have cared for him deeply when he first asked me out but after 2 years of dating he cheated on me and ever since then he watched me like a hawk afraid I’d do the same. I thought he was the best I could do.”
I shake my head, “You could far better than that.”
“Says the guy who has a perfect girlfriend?”
I want to laugh and tell her that my ex, Nana, wasn’t perfect and after I met ___ I felt like I never loved Nana I only lusted for her.
“That’s a lie. Anyways Nana and I broke up.”
She looks at me shocked, “What? Why?”
I look away a bit ashamed of myself, “Because I didn't love Nana anymore and after so long of dating her and after I fell in love with someone else I realized I only lusted for Nana.”
“What do you mean? Did you cheat on her?”
I shake my head, “No, I didn’t. Nana and I hadn’t been physical for the last 2 and half years. She got tired of that and asked why.”
“Why? I heard you two were handsy.”
I chuckle at her innocence, “We were until I realized I was in love with another, but I was afraid to tell her because she had a boyfriend.”
I reach over to her and she cowers away from me.
“___ did he do that to you?”
She looks away from me and I ask again touching her arms lightly to see pain wash into her eyes.
I carefully pull her against my chest and into my lap as I stroke her hair.
I want to hold her tightly but seeing her so vulnerable like, this makes me wonder if I held her any tighter if she would break into a million pieces.
I sit there and hold her ignoring the NBA finals and the beer on my table and TV.
I hold her until she cries herself to sleep.
I get up to pour my beer down the drain and find a slight snack to eat.
I sit there by my sink thinking for a second.
“Why won’t she tell me who hurt her?”
I hear whimpering coming from the other room and I hear ___ say her now ex boyfriend’s name.
I glare at nothing imagining him seeing it.
I calm down and race over to her taking her lightly in my arms like a porcelain doll.
She calms down the moment I pull her against me.
I look around and decide that sleeping on the couch doesn't sound too bad.
I lay the two of us down carefully trying not to wake her up.
I wake up with her sleeping with short even breathes making me sigh in relief.
My shirt doesn't feel wet so she didn't cry last night.
When her eyes open, I smile at her causing her to blush, “Oh I’m sorry to bother you so late last night.”
I shake my head as I touch her cheeks, “No, it was nothing. I’d do anything for you.”
Shit, what did I just say...?
Did I just confess to her?
“What?”
I look up to see a slight blush on her cheeks.
“Maybe another time, because I want to know what happened to you?”
She looks down, “I told him that I didn't love him like I use to and how I thought I was in love with someone else. He got mad and started to choke me well pushing me up against the wall. I did the first thing that came to my mind and kicked him in between the legs and kicked him a bit more before I ran off.”
I laugh, “Man he must be pissed. ___ you should stay here for a few days. I’ll stay with you.”
“I can’t do that. What about your job?”
“What about yours? ___ look I can’t have those I care about in danger. Wait a few days okay then I’ll just be jumpy.”
She chuckles, “Alright. I’ll just have Jo be in charge since he’s probably the only employee I can trust.”
I nod my head.
I’ve only met Jo once and I know he’s a good reliable kid.
After she’s done taking with him she lays down on my couch with her head in my lap, “I’m sorry I interrupted the finals.”
I shake my head, “No, I don’t care about them well you’re in pain or even near me.”
She smiles, “You’re so sweet ___.”
We spend the next three days watching movies and bad comedies for kicks trying to get our minds off romance...
Okay so that didn't work since she was right next me the entire time.
She even shared my bed with me...
I swear I was going to have a heart attack.
I hear someone at my door and I sigh getting up to answer it only to look through to see that its ___’s ex.
I sigh, as I look down at my phone and text a few of my friends telling what’s up.
Soon I hear yelling and I pull ___ to my music room.
“Wow it’s funny how all of this came from my shop. It’s because of you that my shop is still a float.”
I smile as I walk over to my piano and look back at her, “Can I tell you something?’
She’s silent until she nods her head, “Yeah of course.”
“I truthfully I don't think I went to your shop for the instruments. I always went there to see you until we became close enough friends I could use that as an excuse to see you smile.”
She blushes, “What are you trying to tell me?”
“I’m trying to tell you that I fell in love with the second I walked into your shop the first time. You looked like an angel. I love the way you smile and how your voice sounds no matter what mood you’re in. I think I’m in love with you. a kind of love that wraps around you trapping you forever. You are what is always on my mind.”
I look to see her face is bright pink, “Why are you doing this?”
I watch as she starts to cry and I feel a sharp pain in my chest, “I’m sorry I should I have kept my feelings inside. It’s just I couldn’t keep them there anymore it’s been eating me alive for the last 2 and a half years.”
She shakes her head, “No, it’s just why of all days why confess to me. I mean you could have done so for the last 3 days I’ve been staying here?”
I look down embarrassed, “You know the conversation we had the first day.”
She stops to think and realizes what she had said, “Oh I’m so sorry I was just mad about Jason I wasn’t thinking of my own feelings.”
“Now I’m confused... What do you mean your feelings?”
“The reason I broke up with Jason was because I realized that I wasn’t in love with him... but you, Henry.”
I’m shocked that the girl I’ve probably loved in secret for the last 3 years feels the same about me.
I can't help myself I lean down and catch her lips in my own.
At first, she’s shy but after a few seconds she gains courage, but like in the movies are secret moment is interrupted by friends.
“Henry are you in there?” I hear my friends shout.
I walk to the door and let them inside, “What do you want?”
“We just wanted to see ___ since she’s here.”
Reminder to self: kick them out in a few seconds in the most painful way necessary.
“Hyungs, why are you here really?”
Kyuhyun whispers to me, “It’s because we took care of the problem and want to see how things are between the two of you.”
I sigh when they walk around my apartment to stop at my music room that has always been off limits.
“What’s this Henry did you let her into your hideaway?”
They open the door and there ___ is standing with a goofy grin on her face and hand to her lips.
“Now what had happened here?”
___ looks up and glares at my friends since she hasn’t always liked them because all they do is tease her.
“Why are you guys here?”
“He’s been hiding you away here and we wanted to see if anything has happened between the two of you. I mean you two of been crushing on each other since we can remember.”
Note to self: kill my hyungs in the most painful and slow way possible.
“Oh...” She blushes looking at the grand piano the item that really brought us together.
“What happened here?”
“Not really sure since you interrupted us,” I tell them as I push them out with the help of ___ and for once Kyuhyun.
Damn I still need to tell him what happened between ___ and me since I promised.
“So Henry what’s happened between us?” ___ asks me wrapping her arms around my neck.
“I think you can say that I want to ask you out before I kissed you, but I couldn’t help it.”
She laughs as she smiles at me, “Well I guess you can ask me now?”
I smile at her pulling her against me, “___ will you be my girlfriend, because you are already my everything?”
She smiles at how corny I sounded, “Of course I’ll go out with you. I love you, Henry Lau.”
“Good, because I love you,” I say as I lean to kiss her again.
