Submission novel Chapter 13

The streaks of mossy greens caged in his eyes stared at me with an unfamiliar emotion that I could not decipher. He got up from his chair and came in the front of his desk to lean on it. His fingers of the right hand clenched the end of the desk and made eerie drumming sounds which made me shudder. His face was stoic with no emotion at display and his hair as brown and as perfect as ever framed his face in an oddly unique way that intimidated me.

A loud thunder roared in the distance welcoming the rain with it. Drops of rainwater splashed on the windowpane and small yet recognizable pieces of snow stuck to it making a beautiful canvas. The room had turned colder and there was pin-drop silence.

I sat on the bench near the piano and slowly glided my fingers on the top of it. I did not know what to play but the atmosphere controlled me and I started softly, playing a tune I have never heard.

I realized I was playing an original song.

My first original song.

My fingers were playing on their own as if they are controlling me and I had no power against them. The notes were soft but held so much emotion. I closed my eyes and emersed myself into the song.

My head bowed and my fingers flying I heard nothing but me. I felt nothing but me and no one else existed at that moment. With every note, my heart thrummed with the rhythm and I felt submerged into a Bliss. I felt a million emotions expressed in each and every key I pressed and the tune danced like a ballerina on her tiptoes. Gentle and delicate.

The rain outside seemed to accompany my song, making it more special. The thunder hit again and the soft sound of the rain splattering on the window gave my song a smooth flow.

The song ended as smoothly as it had started and I was still lost. I opened my eyes and came in direct contact with the green. The drumming of fingers was replaced by white knuckles clenching the desk with all their might. His face was still impassive and his eyes had turned a shade I have never seen.  I got my hint.

I should make my escape.
