CHAPTER 34

220 Central Park South building? HOLY CRAP!

"It's so beautiful." He lives in 220 Central Park South building? of course he is. The building? I heard that this luxury building has been delayed for several years while the developers battled with planning and regulatory authorities to get permission to begin construction.

When we entered the lobby, it is so glassy that even you can see yourself. It's really perfection.

"Are you......" he did not let me finished because he nods.. HE IS THE OWNER OF THE PENTHOUSE.

The Billionaire that has been a mystery for everyone.

"I thought it’s a Qatari billionaire." I said when we are in the elevator.

"That's what most people said." he then shrugs.

When we got to the 68th Floor via his private elevator, we were faced by another abstract painting. The painter only uses three colors. Yellow, black and red. I wonder what it means.

"You always zoned out whenever you see a painting." Emerson said and that again made me back to reality.

I shrug. “I don't know, it’s just that I always wonder on what the painter is feeling when he’s painting it." I said innocently.

"I'll just make some phone calls. Just sit anywhere and go anywhere you want. “And then I nodded.
"Do you want some tea? Wine? Coffee?" he added but then I shook my head. "I'll just wait for you first then I'll think about it." I answered.

He gave me permission to roam around isn't? And that's what I did. And when I turn around....

Hollllyyyy Molly!

The view

I've got to see the view.

When I walked to his living room, the sofas are simple but yet you'll see that it's expensive. The furniture isn't too much but the view? It’s too much of perfection. You can see the skyline from where I am standing, the trees around the Central Park and how the lights are blinking like Christmas lights.

Then my eyes traveled on my right where the Grand piano is. The piano got me like magnet and I instantly sit on the chair.

I haven't played for so long. My hands and fingers are now rusty but still I opened the fall board and touched the white tiles.

Kiss the Rain by Yiruma

That's the song I played because it's just that, I like how the melody and harmony were created. It shows different emotions.

I close my eyes as I play every note of it.

I missed playing this, it brings me to another world.

The serendipity of the song sounds like a paradise to me that I didn't even notice until I finished the piece, that Emerson is leaning on the piano and is watching me play.

"I didn't know you can play piano." He said.

"Oh!" I stood up.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away. I'm sorry I tampered your piano." then I arranged the fall board and the sit. Emerson? He’s in shock in a few seconds but then smiled.

He sat on the piano bench and offered his hand for me to sit beside him.

"Now, let me repeat what I just said." he said and then turning on me, looking in my eyes. "I didn't know you can play piano." he repeated, but this time, his eyes are looking at me intently.

"I haven't played for two years." I said.

Emerson pov

"Why?" I asked her and she just smiled at me and touches the keyboard tiles.

"I just stopped." then she shrugs followed by a sigh.

"Soon" I said. I'll know why. I thought then I saw her nods. Then I instantly looked at her but she's just smiling. This girl, this girl can read me so easy. I wonder how she thinks of me and then being myself, I press two keys. She looked at me.

"You're the one who can play." She said smiling. Then I return her smile with a smile.

"Play with me." I said then she chuckles. When I look at her she shook her head.

"Tell me please." I beg. "Let me get through your head." I added.

Love pov

oh wow, he'll gonna make me say it.

"It's so green to me when you said play with me." then she look away. I chuckled.

"That can be arranged." He replied and smirks at me.

"You know? You’re right. “I paused and smiled. Then he tensed, "Let's play..........."I said.

"You know. Piano. Together" I said word by word with a hand gesture.
Then he laughs. "You're a tease. Please know that." he said.

"So I've been told." I replied.

"What do you want us to play, anyway." then he put on a smile. I smile that you know has a meaning hiding. I grins.

"Up to you. " I said and he looks surprised but then nods.
He started to press three keys and that's when I know what song we'll be playing.

Adagio in D minor.
When we were about to finish the song, he stopped so I continued playing his part as well but then like a thunder.

He turns my head and without my permission, he kissed me on the lips. I didn't move or even try to. I'm just like a freaking statue, my eyes? it got bigger.

My heart? It beats so fast I can hear it.
