JAMES
Looking out the window, I watch as the stars twinkle in the sky above me.
Together, the stars seemed to shine in harmony as if singing a lullaby that only they could hear.
But there is one, in particular, far, far away from the others. There in the vast sky is a little star. A little star compared to its siblings.
The small star sang its own melody.
A melody so sweet that shined through her light.
In its loneliness, it twinkles the most. Because despite of being all alone, it shines the brightest. Making it the greatest star in the sky.
And for some reason, that little star reminded me of someone.
A girl that has managed to win my smiles.
Feeling that unfamiliar warmth in my heart, I reach for my phone to call her.
"I want to know your name" I whisper softly. Cocking my head to the side as I stare at the small star that seemed to have winked at the world below her.
"What?" She breathes out and my heart quickens at her sweet voice.
"Your name," I mumble truly hypnotized by the melody that little star sang. It seemed as if she were happy. "I want to know your name."
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I tell her.
But she doesn't say anything.
There is only silence from the other line.
And I stare at the dark sky wondering how a lonely star in a sky full of stars was able to shine so beautifully.
I wondered about what would happen if her sibling were to join her.
Their twinkle would be breathtaking.
"Rose" I hear the whisper of her lips. "I'm Rose."
"Rose" I utter between my lips enjoying the way it slipped out my tongue.
She's Rose.
It's perfect.
"James and Rose," I mumble to myself.
"Nice to meet you, Rose" I say, suddenly enchanted.
Something had changed.
She had a name now.
"Hi, Stranger." She says quietly and I smile.
"Rosie, don't be shy. I love it. It suits you."
"It feels different. I just told you a part of me."
"Do you regret it?" I ask, diverting my eyes from the sky as I stare at the floor below me.
"No!" She says a little too quick and I chuckle.
"Good," I walk to the bed. "Because I don't. And you shouldn't either."
"James," She mumbles.
"Hmm?"
"Oh, nothing, I was just saying your name." She stumbles on her words and I have the sudden urge to see her.
What did she look like?
"The way you said it sounds like you're in love with me." I smirk as I get under the covers.
"I am in love with you." She retorts, causing me to laugh.
"Sure you are, babe."
"But Stranger," She starts. "What made you ask for my name?"
"I'm not sure, I guess I had a sudden urge to know your name." I stop as a sudden thought passes through my mind. "Rose, would you have told me your name if I never asked?"
There are a few seconds of silence before I hear her voice.
"Probably not." She answers quietly.
"That's okay, I would have waited for you to tell me" I tell her.
I hear her yawn quietly and I smile.
She must be tired.
"Baby, if you're tired, I can hang up-" I'm cut off by her following words.
"No, no, I'm not tired. Just tell me about you." She mumbles quietly.
I could practically hear the sleepiness in her voice.
"Hmm, about me. Today I went to eat dinner at a friend's house and the food his mom cooked was so good. His sister was couldn't join us. Actually, I think my other mates already met her, except me. Besides that, I actually had a pretty great time hanging at his house." I say, but I hear nothing from the other line
"Princess?"
Nothing.
"Don't tell me she fell asleep?" I mumble to myself.
"She did!" I shake my head.
She fell asleep on me.
"Goodnight, love." I mumble to her before ending the call.
Placing my phone to the side, I take one last look at the star that seemed to be shining brighter than before.
With a smile on my face, I close my eyes with one girl on my mind.
Rose.
Rosie.
