Inspired by Josh Groban and his new CD, Awake. Go buy it, I command you.
Kelsi Nielson sat on a bench in front of East High School too early on a Monday morning. She was there before anyone sane would even think about arriving to school. Her parents both worked and had to be there early. She lived too far away to walk so every morning she sat outside waiting for someone to open the door. She pulled out her iPod Shuffle, too cheap to buy anything else, and popped the headphones in her ears. She flipped through a few random songs her brother had thrown on hers by mistake and found her haven. Josh Groban. She had just bought his CD not too long ago but was already an addict. He kept hitting the next button until she found her favourite, "Solo por Ti". Though it was completely in Spanish, she could almost feel what he was saying. Josh had the most amazing voice, in her own opinion. His was a deep, rich, powerful, amazing voice. He could do a falsetto that made her tremble. She leaned back and turned up the volume. She was lost in her own world; her own Josh induced fantasy land. She never even heard him coming. He slid into the seat next to her and stole an ear bud. She jolted up with an outraged 'Hey!"
"Come one, let me listen for a minute, Playmaker." Troy said, leaning in the bench, her ear bud in his ear and a strange look on his face. "This isn't that Josh Gropan guy, is it?" He was weraing his basketball sweats, obviously coming from an early practice.
"Josh Groban!"
"I hate him."
"You're just jealous." She yanked the ear bud back to herself.
"Me? Jealous?" "Yeah." "Why would I be jealous of him?"
"Because he is the most amazing male singer to every grace the planet."
"You sound like such a fan-girl."
"You sound like the green eyed monster." "I'm not jealous. He's got nothing I don't."
"Can you sing in four languages?"
"No. Okay, so he has that"
"Do you sell out concerts in North America, Europe and Asia?"
"No."
"Are you richer than sin?"
"No."
"How many things does he have on you now?"
"Four."
"Four? That was only three."
"He's obviously got you." Kelsi blushed.
"What?"
"Yep, that's the one thing he's got that I want. I want you to defend me like you defend him."
"I don't understand."
"I want you to love me more than you love him. I want you to love me, Kelsi. But I can't have that, can I?" he said, very bluntly. She leaned forward and kissed him. He was in a suspended state for a moment. She pulled back to say something but he didn't give her the chance. He grabbed her face and pulled her back on his lips. They broke off, their breath fogging in the cold morning air.
"All you had to do was ask. Do you still hate Josh?"
"I won't if you say so."
"You're allowed to. You're cute when you're jealous."
"I'm not jealous!" She kissed his nose.
There it is, all cutesy, fluffy and mostly crappy dialogue. Hope you enjoyed yet another break from NaNoWriMo from MrsVC. Now, you are free to gag from all the sugary fluff.
