Spoken thoughts

Pretty BoySeptember 19th 7 AM
"Argghhhh!" Mai Taniyama woke up, disgruntled. Knocking her alarm off its stand, grumbling, she was so not the morning person. As Mai sits up in bed, she felt that she was forgetting something. All of the sudden, she remember something. She widened her eyes as she looked at the calendar hanging in her room. 'Ah! It's Naru's birthday today! What do I do? I totally forgot!!'
While thinking of a gift to give to him, she hurriedly looked through her CD collection. Then she came up with giving him a recorded CD with her singing. When she found the CD she wanted, Mai just took it a put it in her laptop that she got from her friend. As the disk removed the vocals from the three songs, she took a shower.
When she stepped out, the process was finished. She got ready for school and placed the burned CD and a blank CD in her bag. She heard from Keiko about a new karaoke shop nearby their school. Remembering this tidbit of info Mai decided to record her singing the three songs and give it to Naru as a birthday gift.
At School
"Mai! Why do you have to disks in your bag?" Michiru innocently asked.
"Oh! It's my bosses birthday today and I plan to go to that karaoke shop that Keiko to me about," Mai replied.
"So what songs are you singing?"
"Pretty Boy, Dear Diary, and Girl in Your Dreams."
"Who sings them? Any artist we know?"
"All of them were sung be M2M. I love the songs and they fit a message that I'm trying to get across him," Mai stated.
As her friends looked at the lyrics of the songs, Mai couldn't help but think that Naru possibly would never be able to decipher the message. 'I'm going specifically say something at the beginning' Mai thought gleefully as she carefully wrote down what she wanted to say at the beginning of the disk.
"OMG! If your boss doesn't get the message that you're trying to send him, then he really is stupid and dense!" Keiko and Michiru exclaimed at the same time.
"Yeah, I know. That's why I'm going to record something in the beginning, read this and tell me how it sounds. If I need to change anything just tell me. 'kay." Mai told her friends.
"This is perfect! If even with this he doesn't get it then you should really give up, Mai." (Mai just glared at her) "I mean really! With all these hints and he still doesn't get it, then you should date someone else." Michiru said.
"Well, I guess that is true. Also, I think one of my co-workers is interested in me."
"WHO?!" yelled the two girls.
"Not so loud please? Oh all right. I'll tell you. The co-worker is actually one of our old clients. Osamu Yasuhara-kun. We helped solve their case at Ryokuryou High School."
"Ehh?!"
"Shhhh. He's cute and considerate. The total opposite of Naru. Of course it helps with the fact that he's also his graduating class's valedictorian."
"Mou you're so lucky that you have a guy that is interested in you," moaned Keiko. "Look at me, I'm cute but no one likes me."
"It's okay. You will find someone you like that likes you back someday. At least you're cute. I'm not cute nor am I beautiful," comforted Mai.
Suddenly the bell rang signaling the beginning of class.
After School 3:00 pm
"Bye!"
"Good luck with your gift!"
Mai glanced at her watch and saw that it was 3. As she thought, she knew that she would be late. 'I might late but it's worth it if Naru gets my message.'
She quickly ran to the shop that had the karaoke studio.
"Welcome to the Karaoke Box! How may I help you?"
"Um… I heard that you can record someone singing? Is that true?"
"Yes! Are you interested in making a recording?"
"Will you be needing a blank CD?"
"No. We provide the blank CDs to record and give them out as free samples."
"Okay. Then I would like to record a CD. I have my songs prepared so, where would I go?"
"Just follow me ma'am. This is our recording studio. Would you like to have it broadcasted throughout the studio?"
"Well, I have a message that I don't want broadcasted, is that all right?"
"That's fine. Just tell me when you want it to be broadcasted."
"I'll give the thumbs up."
After Mai stepped in, she took out everything she needed. She placed the copied disk into the karaoke machine and pressed pause since she didn't want it to start, yet. She held onto the lyrics and the sheet of paper that she had written her message on.
Hey Naru! Happy 18th Birthday. Well, I have a few songs I want to sing for you. Before we start on that I have some things to say to you. First, things is Happy Birthday to you. Second, is that within these songs is a special message to you and if you can't figure out the message, then I have to say you are really dense. I hope you enjoy this CD that I made for you. Well, here I go.
She just gave the store clerk the thumbs up and started to sing.
The first song I'm singing is Pretty Boy by M2M.
I
lie awake at night
See things in black and white
I've only got
you inside my mind
You know you have made me blind
I lie
awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this
longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start
Oh my
pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before
you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh
my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I
do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you
I used to
write your name
And put it in a frame
And sometime I think I
hear you call
Right from my bedroom wall
You stay a little
while
And touch me with your smile
And what can I say to make
you mine
To reach out for you in time
Oh my pretty pretty
boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty
pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty
pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me
inside
Make me stay right beside you
Oh pretty boy
Say
you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I
never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just
tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh
my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right
beside you
The Second Song is Girl In Your Dreams also By M2M.
I
was walking down the street one day
Then I saw you I didn't know
what to say
You're eyes were shining
You're smile was so
kind
When I saw you I wanted you to be mine
Maybe I don't
have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the
sky
And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can
show you what love means
One day you came and talked to me
And
you said we are meant to be
I was happy, everything was so
nice
But then I found out that everything was a lie
Maybe I
don't have the blonde hair you like
Or maybe I don't have eyes
like the sky
And I'm not sure if I'm the girl in your dreams
But
I can show you what love means
How could you do this to me
You
said we are meant to be
You showed me how to cry
When you told
me everything was a lie
Maybe I don't have the blonde hair you
like
Or maybe I don't have eyes like the sky
And I'm not sure
if I'm the girl in your dreams
But I can show you what love means
The Last Song is Dear Diary also by M2M.
Dear
Diary,
Something good happened today
He finally called me by my
name
I didn't know how to behave
What to say or do
I was so
confused
Dear Diary,
I wanna talk to him again
But
whenever he is with his friends
He keeps trying to pretend
But
I already see
The way he feels for me
What can I do?
Tell
me what can I say
When do I let him know I feel the same way?
How
can my feelings be so hard to show when
I really want him to
know
Dear Diary,
He wrote some letters on his hand
It
wasn't hard to understand
I figured I'm part of his plans
But
now I'm in his heart
I don't know where to start
What can I
do?
Tell me what can I say
When do I let him know I feel the
same way?
How can my feelings be so hard to show when
I really
want him to know
You're my secret hiding place
Where my
private thoughts are safe
And just one look and he will see
What's
inside of me
What can I do?
Tell me what can I say
When
do I let him know I feel the same way?
How can my feelings be so
hard to show when
I really want him to know
What can I
do?
Tell me what can I say
When do I let him know I feel the
same way?
How can my feelings be so hard to show when
I really
want him to know
Dear Diary
Dear Diary
Dear Diary
Dear
Diary
After she finished, she took the CD from the store clerk. Next thing she knew, she practically tore out of the shop and ran to SPR.
When she got there, Nary yelled out, "Mai! You're late. Tea." Mai sighed and just went to the SPR kitchenette to prepare Naru's tea. She first put the kettle on the stove to boil. While it boiled she just thought 'should I give it to him now?' In the end she decided to give it to him later. When it finished boiling, she just took out a cup and place the teabag inside it and poured the water in.
"Naru your tea is ready. May I come in?"
"Come in," his sensuous voice replies.
When she came in, she just placed the cup of tea on his desk. She just stares at him and waits for a 'Thank You'. "Do you need anything?" Naru asks staring at her.
She quickly dashes to the door, steps out and slams it shut. Her eyes shines with tears as she thinks 'could he just say 'thank you for once?'
Then, she just threw the CD in the trash can thinking 'he won't even care.'
When 5'oclock came she told Naru that she was leaving. He didn't answer. After rushing out of the office, she thought 'he didn't even acknowledge my statement.'
After Mai left, Naru told Lin he had to go out. Lin merely nodded. After Naru left, Lin walked to get some tea. As he walked by Mai's trash bin he noticed something and took it out. He widened his eyes as he looked at it.
Silently, he opened the door to his boss's office and placed the CD on Naru's desk. Lin quietly wrote a note that said that he left early.
When Naru returned, he noticed it on his desk and tossed it in his briefcase. He walked to his car and drove back to his apartment. After taking a nice, long shower, he popped the disk in his boom box. As he listened, he recognized the soft, melodious voice. 'Mai,' was all he thought. As the CD drew to a close, he knew his feelings toward assistant were mutual and he resolved to confess to her during the next day.
The Next Day, At the Office
"Mai. Tea," Naru barked out his usual order as Mai walked into SPR.
Mai just sighed and went to the kitchenette to prepare Naru's tea.
"Naru? Your tea is ready."
"Come in."
As she walked in, the CD she created was playing. "H-how?" she exclaimed.
Naru smiled and said "Lin had put it on my desk."
"Oh."
"Mai"
Naru breathed "I love you, too."
The two just walked out and just kissed as the irregulars came walking in. Everyone just stared at the two. Bou-san finally cleared his throat to get their attention.
The two jumped apart and Mai rushed to the kitchenette to get everyone their tea. Naru took the CD out and played for everybody.
"Nice going Mai!" Bou-san.
At that point, the two were a couple and much in love.
