"I have a surprise for you," he says, as we're riding the elevator up to his place.

He looks at me with a boyish smile, the face of someone who can't wait to see the reaction of a person he's about to present with something special and unexpected.

"A surprise?" I ask, getting closer to him. "What is it?"

"Wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now, would it?" he replies. "Just wait a few more moments. But you'll have to wear this."

He produces a blindfold from the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

"Oh," I say. "Alright."

He puts the blindfold on me just in time, as the elevator reaches its destination on the uppermost floor. I hear the doors open, but don't move until he takes me by the arm and leads me inside his apartment. I've been here before, but my steps are still careful and shy as he gently pushes me inside the living room area. He positions me, turning me slightly to the left.

It's still light outside and I can feel the warmth of the sun shining through the panoramic windows blanketing my skin.

"Ready?" he whispers into my ear, and I nod.

My heart is racing with excitement. I have no idea what to expect.

When he removes the blindfold, I'm instantly blinded by the glaring sun and have to lift my hand to throw a shadow over my face.

Then I see it. In the far left corner of his living room, opposite the seating area we've played on before, there's a brand new Steinway Model D grand piano, standing right beneath the window.

He places his hands on my shoulders, standing at my back as he awaits my reaction.

"Oh my God..." I breathe, trying to grasp what this means. This can't be.

"This... this wasn't here before," I utter helplessly.

Kingston chuckles behind me. "No, it wasn't. Do you like it?"

"Like it?!" I exclaim, turning around to face him. "You did not buy a freaking Model D grand piano for... for me?"

"Well," he says, raising one eyebrow as he cocks his head to the side. "It's in my home. But yes, it's for you to play on."

"But... but," I stutter. "I can't... why did you –"

"So I could watch you play," he says, smirking at me. "Naked, if possible."

I stare up at him in disbelief. "W-w-what?"

"Consider this a present for myself just as much as for you," he explains. "I enjoy watching you play. When I saw you at my parents' place, it did provoke quite a few images. Things I'd like to see."

He leans closer, caressing the outline of my jaw with the tip of his finger as he suggests a kiss, our lips barely touching.

"Things I'd like to do to you while you play," he whispers. "And now, I can."

I shiver with excitement, leaning in to his kiss, only to have him withdraw from me.

"Play," he says, nodding toward the piano. "Play something for me."

"Uh," I mumble, hesitantly turning around to face the beautiful instrument. "Sure."

I approach the grand piano with slow and careful steps, as if I was afraid that I could scare it away.
