There
she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy
diddy dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her
feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
She
looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine)
She
looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind
Joe's POV
I sighed deeply and bit my lip, then smiled. My little brother's best friend was walking down the street singing one of our songs (I don't even know which one, they all blend together now). Her, yes HER, name is Celina, and NO, not Selena with an 'S', Celina with a 'C', even though he's best friends with the both of them. ANYWAYS, I happen to think that she's REALLY pretty, so of course, with her singing "Just Friends" (yes I figruerd out what song she was singing as I was staring at her), my knees gave in and I sat down on the bench outside of my house.
As she got closer, I could see that she put on makeup, and wore a brown summer dress, that really accented her beautiful… round… pretty… mezmoring………………….
"Hey Joe!" Wow, her eyes were pretty…. Her eyebrow raised in confusion, "Joe?"
"Huh, what?" I replied snapping out of my trance, muahaha now I can dream of her eyes.
"You okay?"
"You know, I don't know…"
"Huh?" she replied.
"The doctors haven't diagnosed my problem yet, so I don't know if it's life threatening or if it'll be over in a few weeks…"
She still looked thoroughly confused, but she looked so cute. She blows my mind away, I swear. If only… she wasn't Nick's best friend.
"STOP RAPING MY BEST FRIEND JOE!!!!" my little brother yelled from the from door.
"IT'S NOT RAPE IF SHE GOES ALONG WITH IT!!!" I yelled back. Then the three of us started laughing. Suddenly the front door revealing the evil dragon that was stealing my princess away. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
"I'll save you from him Celina!" Nick ran up and hugged her in his arms, pretending to save her. That made me angry.
"But she's MINE!" I growled, then I tried to grab her. She fliched away. "You know what, Nick?"
"What?"
"Do you want to be on the same team?" I winked at him and he got "my drift" and smiled.
"Uhhhh I don't know…"
"What are you guys talking about?"
"TICKLE FIGHT!" her brown eyes widened as our finger began attacking her. Suddenly she was out of our reach and inside the house.
"Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." My phone "wrang". I answered it, "Hello?"
"JOEY!" I flinched at the voice… It was Samantha… the most spoiled-est brat in my grade, who happened to be obsessed with me.
"Hey Sam…"
"Hey so… are you doing anything later…?" I saw Celina looking at me curiously, hm, Celina hates Sam, so maybe she'll be jealous if I go out with her! "Um no, want to go to the movies?"
"THAT WOULD BE FANTABULOUS! Pick me up at 7:08 on the dot okay? Aw, I'm SO excited! I knew you'd give in! Bye sweetie!"
I sighed deeply… what was I getting myself into?
I saw Celina slam the fridge door closed. MY little brother and I jumped.
"Woops," she said.
"Come on Celina, let's go up to my room and watch a movie. See you later, Joe."
"Yeah, bye."
They walked up the stairs and into Nick's room. I secretly followed them up there and then eavesdropped… what? I wanted to know what they were saying.
"What was THAT about, Celina?" my brother's voice asked.
"You KNOW what it's about, Nick. You know I have a crush on your brother."
"Yeah I know, but you know that he only answered 'Yes' to that girl because he saw you listening in. So MAYBE be likes you back."
I felt anger, I told him I liked her in confidence! Wait a minute… likes you back… crush on your brother… SHE LIKES ME!!!!!! I jumped up and started doing a happy dance, which included shaking my butt and bouncing in circles and moving my arms up and down. Apparently, my jumping up and down was really loud, so Nick opened up his bedroom door and my little brother and the love of my life were staring at me as if I'd grown 2 heads. I perked up, "Hi guys!"
"What are you doing, Joe?"
"I'm happy dancing!"
"Why?"
"Because I just found out that the girl I've had a crush on forever likes me too!!! I LOVE YOU CELINA!!!!" Nick and Celina's jaws dropped to the floor. Okay… maybe that WASN'T the best thing to yell.
"Are you HIGH?" asked Nick.
"I'm high on LOVE!"
"Did you mean that Joe?" a soft voice asked, it was Celina.
"Yes. Of course I meant it. I've loved you for years."
She smiled her beautiful smile, "Me too."
I ran up to her and kissed her with all my might. I felt my heart pounding inside of my chest. I had only dreamed of this happening. I pulled away smiling wide. Then I kissed her softly again.
"Hey Joe?" my brother asked, breaking the moment.
"What?"
"You have lipgloss on your lips." Celina giggled as I wiped it away.
"You know what Nick? You won't leave us alone. Let's go on a walk." I told Celina.
"Okay!"
Before
I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' "Do wah diddy
diddy dum diddy do"
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can
be, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
We walked
on (walked on) to my door (my door)
We walked on to my door, then
we kissed a little more
Our walk was really fun. We talked about anything and everything. I knew that I was falling more in love with her. I told her about my dreams of becoming famous and being successful. And she told me that she wanted to become a pharmacist and raise a lot of money for charities, which I thought was incredibly inspiring. Finally, at my door, after we kissed a little bit (because we had done PLENTY of that during the walk) I finally got up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend. I'll replay it for you.
"Celina, I've been crazy about you since the 5th grade. You were like a sister, that I thought was pretty. And then you got older and prettier, even when I thought that couldn't happen. I dream about your eyes and your hair and your jokes and your dreams. I dream you dreams. My soul is connected to yours. My prayers are your prayers. My heart is longing for your heart. My hand is longing to hold your hand. My lips, are wanting to be against yours. Will you please cure me and become my girlfriend?"
"YES!!!!!"
Woops, I forgot
about Samantha… oh well.
Whoa-oh,
I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all
the things I'd been dreamin' of
Now, we're always together. We hang out more than Nick and her ever did. We help each other with homework, we study together, we go on dates, we watch movies, and we kiss together (well I HOPE so!).
I'm SO INCREDIBLY
HAPPY WITH HER! You know, I see us getting married one day… Whoa-oh, I knew we was
falling in love
Now
we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy
diddy dum diddy do"
A-we're so happy and that's how we're
gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Well
I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine)
I'm hers, she's
mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd
been dreamin' of
I asked her to marry me yesterday. After a date, I asked to take a walk with her in the park, and she accepted. After the walk, when I got to the doorstep, I kissed her, then knelt down on one knee. Then I recited, "Celina, I've been crazy about you since the 5th grade. You were like a sister, that I thought was pretty. And then you got older and prettier, even when I thought that couldn't happen. I dream about your eyes and your hair and your jokes and your dreams. I dream you dreams. My soul is connected to yours. My prayers are your prayers. My heart is longing for your heart. My hand is longing to hold your hand. My lips, are wanting to be against yours. Will you please cure me and become my wife?" She smiled wide and nodded yes.
"Smooth thinking with the same speech, Joe."
"Well, I found it in my room and decided to say it again. I thought it would be more romantic if I said the same speel I had said to ask you to become my girlfriend as I am to ask you to become my wife."
"Don't worry, it was." We kissed again, and I dragged her inside my house and up the stairs.
"Hey, Joe?" I heard my brother say.
"What Nick?"
"You've got lipgloss on your lips again." I just glared at him, "Just saying!"
"Yeah, well,
that's okay, because we're getting married." Then I opened up
the door to my room and
Whoa-oh-oh-oh,
oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we'll sing it
Do wah
diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy
dum diddy do
Today is the day of my wedding. I'm SO nervous! What if she ditches me?!
"Hey man," Nick walked in, "You ready for this?"
I just nodded, "But Nick, can you do something for me?"
"Anything. It's your day today."
"Well…" I told him what I wanted him to do. When I leaned back, his eyes were wide.
"Come on, Joe. Do I have to?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
As I waited for my love to walk down the aisle, the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down. When I saw my brother, I laughed. He just glared at me. But then, she walked in. Everyone stood up and looked at her. I nearly choked. She looked absolutely STUNNING. Her hair was up in a complicated bun and her dress fit her body perfectly. I seriously believe that my heart stopped beating. She walked closer and then she started laughing. I started freaking out! Did I look funny? Was something wrong?
Then, her lips said, "Hey Nick, you've got lipgloss on your lips." Oh!
"Yes. I Know that. Thank you." He replied shortly. I smiled at her and nodded my head, telling her that it was her idea. She laughed loudly then joined me to face the priest. I knew that there'll be plenty of lipgloss on my lips tonight….
