Love Tune

The tune was unique, unlike anything he had ever played by the best composers. The clarinet had such a good sound, hard to replicate and find fault with. The one thing that struck him the most was the amount of passion, feeling and heart put into this one tune. it was rare to find a musician that put so much into their playing.

Deciding that he had to meet the player to open a whole new world of music to them, he slipped through the door as silently as he could and stood at the back of the hall, watching the player sway slightly, eyes closed, whispering and caressing the music out of her clarinet. She was so unaware of everything around her, not even caring that she had an extremely cute expression on her face.

The tune slowed, gradually stopping. She opened her eyes and stared straight at him. She stepped back, turning away and taking the instrument apart. A soft pink colour tinted her cheeks, showing her embarressment. He stepped toward the stage, realising that she was going to leave without speaking to him.

"Hey! Can we talk before you run off?" He didn't want her to leave, not without speaking to her. She paused, closing the case and tilting her head to the side. Then she turned to him. He smiled and walked up to the stage.

"I'm Nathaniel Georges. Nice to meet you." He offered his hand, which she reluctantly took. Up close, she looked stunning. Her eyes were shy, her skin was pale and her dark hair fell freely past her shoulders.

"I know. You're the guy that managed to become famous for playing piano at the age of ten, and have made a name for yourself sine, along with a fortune. I'm Claire." She smiled slightly with admiration in her eyes. He returned the smile.

"You play clarinet really well. I doubt I've heard anyone play as well as you just did." She blushed more at this statement. Somehow, after that statement, the conversation staired away from music and on to personal lives. Nathaniel was fascinated by her story and she listened intently to his. For weeks after, they met up in the hall and played for each other.

One day, she played the last few notes of a tune as he stepped closer to her. When she finally opened her eyes, he plied the clarinet out of her hands and set it down carefully. He turned back to her, tilted her chin up and kissed her. It was gentle at first, but when she returned it, little by little, it became more passionate. She put her arms around his neck as he pulled her closer to him by the waist.

Their relationship lasted for years. No one objected to their love and eventually, in their early twenties, they got married. The wedding was one of the biggest events that year, being in every magazine and newspaper.

The rest of their lives was just like a fairytale, Prince Charming never leaving his princess and living in a palace like mansion.
