Chapter 4

Liams POV


There was a karaoke night in the hotel club scheduled for the day after Jade arrived, and my mum kept saying things like: "You should enter darling, you have such a good voice!" Normally I would just laugh off the compliment, but she happened to say it when I was FaceTiming the boys, which was pretty embarrassing.


Then the idiots decided they were going to come down to the hotel for the party. They weren't that far away, because we were only in this hotel because my house was flooded due to the good old British weather.


They said they wanted to "watch the karaoke", which is absolute rubbish. I knew that they just wanted to come to see if there were any girls here that they could chat up. That much was obvious.


Jade's POV


I was still perfectly wide awake. Normally I would go out for a drive, but obviously my car was at home. I was just lying there polishing my scissors, when I heard muttering coming through the wall. What kind of fancy hotel was this? The walls were so thin you could probably knock them down with a soccer ball.


I strained my ears and listened for the noises again, hearing the faint sound of singing coming from next door. The sound of testing out lyrics, then muttering before the singing continued.


"You're insecure,


don't know what for,


you're turning heads when you walk through the door,


don't need makeup,


to cover up,


being the way that you are is enough."


The boy now had my full attention. From what I could hear, he sounded like a half-decent singer/songwriter.


"Everyone else in the room can see it,


everyone else but you."


He added it to the first verse. He seemed to have some kind of music player in there, with a previously recorded tune. As it went on, I started to hum along to the tune.


"Baby you light up my world like nobody else,


the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,


but when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,


you don't know,


oh oh,


you don't know you're beautiful,


if only you saw what I could see,


you'd understand why I want you so desperately,


right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,


you don't know,


oh oh,


you don't know you're beautiful,


oh oh,


that's what makes you beautiful."


He then continued to sing a second verse, then got to the chorus again, and with me never even considering the consequences, I sung the parts of the chorus I could remember. I wasn't even trying to sing quietly. We got to "the way that you flip your hair" before he stopped the music unexpectedly and heard me. "Hello?" I had no clue who this person was, or why he'd been staring at me, but I decided it was time to find out. I jumped out of bed, leaving him without an answer and grabbing my key before leaving my room.


I started to bang on his door, completely forgetting that I was in my pyjamas with nothing on my feet. "Okay okay I'm coming!" He shouted and I could hear him moving around. "Shit!" I heard him curse as there was a loud band from the other side of the door, making me smile. He opened the door looking a little confused.
