New Photographer | Niall Horan

Chapter 39

Alexis POV

I woke up this morning without Niall laying next me which made me pout. I didn't want to get up this time to see what he is doing downstairs. I just wanted to stay in bed. I decided to scroll on my phone a bit before heading downstairs. While I was scrolling on my phone I heard Niall playing the piano. I smiled at myself because he is playing the piano and also that means he came up with an idea for a new song. After I was done scrolling on my phone I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to do my business.

Once I was done with that I washed my face and stuff I went downstairs. I went to the living room to see Niall is playing on the piano and singing.

"Life is like a board game some of the time

Mistakes and heartbreaks are no crime
But there's a light creepin' through under broken skies
Got plans? Better hurry 'cause time fliesHold tight, get ready for the rideIf everythin' was easy, nothing ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it though? Mm"

"Now how do I go from here?" Niall asked himself

He still doesn't know that I'm in the room because he's back his facing me. Also, when he gets a new tune in his head and when he needs to play it better not to distract him or else he will lose the plot of the song. Also, I love it when he plays the piano. He plays it so beautifully.

"Good morning" I said and he turned to face me

"Oh good morning sweetheart I didn't know you were over there" he said with a smile on his face

"It's okay. I knew you were playing. I just didn't want to disturb you. Are you on writers block?" I asked him as I walked over to him

"Yeah I guess you can say that. I had this melody up in my head and I decided to play on the piano and I wanted to make this a piano ballet. I don't know where to go from here" he said

"Maybe you have to play more to get more words in your head to your mouth" I told him and he chuckled

"You think that would work?" he asked as he pulled me into his lap

"Maybe or maybe I could help you" I told him

"You know something about song writing?" he asked

"No but I see how you do maybe I could help and just letting you know I'm a bad singer" I told him as he peak my lips to make me giggle

"I don't think you're gonna be a bad singer" he said and I smiled at him

"Maybe I am. What's the song about?" I asked him

"It's piano ballet as you can see and it's about metaphor for life basically how sometimes we will be stuck at home and we have nothing to do but sometimes we are grateful for the life that we do have and hopefully others will have the same life" he said and I smiled at him

"Okay. I think I got something in my head" I told him as I sat beside him while he plays the piano

"Okay let's hear your beautiful singing voice" Niall said

"I don't have a beautiful singing but play the song" I told him and he chuckled

He started to play some melody and I had some ideas up in my head.

"Life is like a dance floor some of the time

(Life is like a dance floor some of the time, mm)
Dancin' with the stars, oh, every night
And gravity comes and wraps her arms around you again
It's all fun and games until the party endsHold tight, get ready for the rideIf everythin' was easy, nothing ever broke
If everythin' was simple, how would we know?
How to fix your tears, how to fake a show
How to paint a smile, yeah, how would we know?
How good we have it though?Looking at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the (lights)
Looking at the sun our whole lives
We're blinded by the lights, oohWe're still not ready for the ride"
