BB likes to sing. But only to herself.
Sometimes she does a private performance and imagines herself going places.
One day BB overdoes performance and He hears
He comes into BB's room and says "was that you that i just heard singing?"
BB smiles and says a tiny "yes"
He stares at her
BB looks away, she cant look into his eyes,she's too shy, he has this expression on his face and she wonders what He must be thinking.
He sits down and says "sing again, i want to listen"
BB is surprised, she doesnt know what to do, nobody ever asked her to sing for them before
He reads her shock and says "i'm serious, sing that song again, i want to listen to you"
BB searches her mind but nothing comes up. She searches desperately to find that perfect song but comes up blank.
BB twists her fingers, she doesnt know what to do, time is ticking and He's sitting there staring like He has all the time in the world
BB tries to bail out and says "i cant think of anything"
He raises an eyebrow and says "do the song you were doing before i came in"
BB grimaces and says "okay" then starts to sing but after the first five words, her throat siezes, she feels as if there is something stuck in her throat, She fidgets
BB is embarrassed, she clears her throat and tries to start over but her throat siezes again, more violently this time and she croaks like a toad.
He chuckles at first, then He starts to laugh
BB feels as if the wall is closing in on her, now she's more than just embarrassed, she is devasted and close to tears, she doesnt understand what is happening to her.
BB looks at him and sees him heaving with laughter, holding his midsection.
BB is crushed, she runs from the room.
