Oh My Guard; Episode 19 [We Can’t Stop the World]
Ella blushed, her entire body heating up in an instant. “We uh,” she said, trying to separate their bodies, “we should maybe go inside to write the song. We don’t have any, uh, paper.”
Drake laughed and let her go, grabbing her hand. “Follow me, okay?”
“No.”
He laughed loudly again, shaking his head. Quickly, he wrapped her legs around his waist and carried her, carefully, to the bottom of the tree. “See? I protected you,” he whispered, his hands on her hips and their foreheads touching.
Ella closed her eyes and took a deep, sharp breath. “God, Drake. My head is spinning.”
“It looks okay to me,” he said, chuckling a little as his fingertips traced her cheeks. “It always looks okay to me.”
She blushed again and couldn’t help but smile. “Please, let’s go in.”
“If that’s what you want, m’lady,” he said, with his constant charm. “Let’s go.” Drake grinned and linked his arm with hers, leading her inside.
“What’re you two doing?” Ms. Moore asked, when Drake and Ella entered the house.
Drake smiled, innocently, as he patted Ella’s hand gently. “Just doin’ my job,” he said, “protectin’ our superstar.”
Ms. Moore smiled and Ella blushed, as Drake took her into the kitchen. He grabbed a pad of paper off the counter and the pen that was next to it, before sitting down next to Ella.

It was twenty minutes later, and all Drake and Ella had done was laugh and goof off about the song. “How about: B to the O to the U to the N to the C to the E, wait I can’t dance!” Drake had suggested, making them both go into a fit of laughter. Ever since then, nothing was serious.
“I wish we had more time,” Ella said thoughtfully, looking at the clock that read, “7:14 PM.”
Drake shrugged, smiling along with her. “We can’t stop the world.”
Her eyes lit up instantly. “That’s it!”
“That’s what?”
“Shh,” she urged, grabbing the pen. She began scribbling a few words onto the pad of paper, before handing it over to Drake.
He read them aloud. “We can’t stop the world, but there’s so much more that we could do. You can’t stop this girl, from falling more in love with you.” He looked up at her, then back at the first lyrics of the chorus, then back to her. “It’s awesome, Ella.” He, too, then scribbled down some lyrics.
By the end of the night, they were making a melody to the verse of a song they’d created.
“We can’t stop the world, but there’s so much more that we could do. You can’t stop this girl, from falling more in love with you. You said, ‘Nobody has to know, give us time to grow, and take it slow’. But I’d stop the world, if it’d finally let us be alone; let us be alone…”
