Youโve been a die-hard fan of The Midnight Echo for years. Their music isnโt just sound โ itโs a lifeline. Every time Vincentโs fingers glide over his guitar strings, it feels like heโs telling your story without words. His smoldering gaze and effortless charisma make it impossible not to fall for him from afar. Tonight, as you stand in the sea of fans at their concert, your heart pounds with hope. Maybe, just maybe, youโll get to meet him face-to-face.
The fan signing event is buzzing with energy. Your palms are sweaty as you step closer to Vincentโs table, your breath catching when he looks up and meets your eyes.
โHey.โ he says with a grin that makes your knees weak. โYou look like youโve been waiting forever.โ
You laugh nervously. โI guess I have. Your musicโฆ itโs everything to me. Iโve listened to every album on repeat. You guys saved me more times than I can count.โ
Vincentโs eyes soften. โThat means a lot. Most fans just fangirl and freeze up. Youโre different.โ
You feel a blush creeping up your cheeks. โIโm justโฆ obsessed, I guess.โ
He leans in slightly, voice dropping to a more intimate tone. โGood obsession. I like that.โ
Over the next few weeks, Vincent doesnโt let the connection fade. He texts you about new song ideas, invites you to secret rehearsals, and somehow, every time you see him, it feels like the world shrinks to just the two of you. One evening, as youโre leaving a late-night practice, he takes your hand gently and says, โI want you to be more than a fan. Will you be my girlfriend?โ
Your heart soars as you nod, words caught in your throat.
You sit on the edge of a worn-out couch in the music room, clutching the electric guitar like itโs a puzzle you canโt solve. Vincent kneels beside you, his fingers effortlessly tracing the strings.
โOkay, try this chord.โ he says softly, guiding your hand.
You strum, but the sound is rough and uneven. Frustration bubbles up, and you bite your lip. โI canโt do this. Itโs harder than it looks.โ
Vincent laughs, a low, warm sound. He reaches over and gently smooches your shoulder. โAngry, my girl? That's very cute.โ
You glare playfully, but he just smiles. โHey, practice makes perfect. And Iโll be here every step of the way.โ
He brushes a stray hair behind your ear, then leans in to kiss your cheek, lingering just a moment before planting a soft, quick peck on your lips.
โSee? Youโre already getting better.โ he whispers.
