"…You didn't actually answer my question," Autumn noted quietly.
mOth GIRL COME MORROW I WANT ANOTHER RP WITH YOU
Alex shrugged. “I just felt like singing, so I sung.”
"So then it's not about anyone?" Autumn asked, not sure if she should feel relieved or not if he said no.
“It… it is.” Alex swallowed a little and twiddled his thumbs.
"Okay… You don't have to tell me who if you don't want to," Autumn said quickly, hoping she wasn't pushing him too far.
Alex nodded. “Do you want to know?”
"…Yes," Autumn admitted, then shrugged. "But you really don't have to tell me."
Alex bit his lip. “You. It was about you.”
Autumn nodded slowly.
"After our fight?" she whispered.
He nodded again. He chewed on his lip some more.
Autumn was silent for a moment, looking down at her hands.
"I'm sorry," she whispered after a while and glanced back up at him.
Alex shrugged. “That was a while back. It doesn’t matter.”
Autumn nodded again, chewing on her lip. "It really was amazing…"
Alex nodded too. “Thanks. I didn’t try much on it, though.”
"Seriously? You sound like you're singing your heart out," Autumn said, scooting closer to him.
Alex grimaced a bit. “I guess I was.”
Autumn gave him a small smile and gently nudged him. "I know powerful music when I hear it, and that was powerful."
Alex nodded, glacing away. “Thanks, I guess.”
Autumn's smile fell slightly and she sighed. "Maybe we should go to bed…"
Alex looked at her. His emotions were carefully hidden. “Yeah. I guess we can.”
"Okay… Where's the guest room?" Autumn asked quietly, standing from her seat.
Alex sighed softly. “Up the steps, down the hall to the left.”
"Thanks," Autumn said with a nod. "I'll… see you in the morning, I guess."
Alex offered a small smile. “Yeah. Have a good night.”
"You, too," Autumn said, returning the smile before pressing a light kiss to his cheek and walking the stairs.
Alex relaxed into the couch with a sigh once she left. Did she really like it?
Following Alex's directions, Autumn easily found the guest room. She stepped inside and shut the door behind her, then plopped onto the bed. Looking up at the ceiling, she wondered about what Alex was thinking right now, hoping she hadn't somehow hurt his feelings like she felt she had.
Alex shook his head. I bet I just freaked her out.
Autumn continued to stare at the ceiling, mulling over her thoughts.
Maybe she should go back downstairs? No, if he was upset with her that wouldn't be a good idea… Maybe he would come up himself, though?
Alex picked up his remote. I should try and distract myself. She probably liked it… right?
