Alex G Pretend Chords Novels & Stories

Alexa leaned closer to Viola and whispered, “Did you hear that?” Viola whispered back, “I heard Lexa, loud and clear.” Not aware of what was going on, Maxwell stood up and said to Vivian who was staring at him. “I will be back in a few minutes.” Vivian nodded her head and replied to him. “No problem, just take your time.” Just then, Alexa played music on her phone and pretended it was a phone call. So staring at them all, she smiled sheepishly and said, “Uhm, I will just take the call outside”. With that she ran outside making Viola giggle.

“Okay Elena. I understand. Let’s start with something simple then. What do you want to know?” I thought for a moment before asking, “What’s your favorite hobby?” Alex’s face lit up with a genuine smile. “I love playing the guitar. I’ve been playing since I was a teenager, and it’s always been my go-to stress reliever”. He responded. My eyes widened in surprise. “I had no idea! I’d love to hear you play sometime “. Alex’s smile grew wider. “I’d love to play for you, Elena maybe tonight, after dinner?”

“I’ve used it before. But not really” “Mm. It’s obvious,” Alex said, dragging a chair close to Emma and sitting. Too close. Their knees almost touched. “Start again.” Emma did. Alex listened. After a few bars, he pointed. “You don’t know how to use some keys.” “I do,” Emma said, defensive. The tension was back. Alex just stared at her. “continue.” She began playing again, then stopped and looked at Alex. “This one is expensive. It’s… it’s crazy compared to the one I have at home.”
