Houses of the Holy
By Led Zeppelin
Fabian texted feverishly, his palms were so clammy and there was sweat dripping down his face. After he finally managed the message, he sent it to Nina.
Meet me in the courtyard. Asap!
It was the day after prom, the afternoon; everyone had slept in till around 12. Nina would be leaving in a week, and after that kiss Fabian had to do something to show his dedication to her, and how much he truly cared.
He wanted to write a song, but thought it would be too cheesy. What he actually had planned was way better. Mick was helping of course, he had Patricia occupying Joy and Amber, and Mara was distracting Jerome so that no one could get in the way.
Fabian plucked a chord on his guitar to make sure it was perfectly tuned to his satisfaction. Alfie plugged his electric guitar into an amplifier, and Mick twirled drum sticks in the air.
There was a bleep. One new message from Nina.
Be there in a minute.
"Guy's she is on her way!" Fabian freaked.
"Dude relax!" Alfie rolled his eyes.
"Were gonna do it just like we practiced ok Fabian, everything is going to be calm. Its just us bros jamming, lets play it all the way through without stopping. We got this." Mick was good at pep talks. Especialy when it came to boosting his best mate's confidence, which he wound up doing a lot.
"Hi guys, what are you doing?" It was Jason Winkler their history teacher.
"Serenading Nina, you have to get out of here she will be arriving any second." Mick shooed him off.
"And guard the doors so no one else can interrupt." Alfie added being helpful for once.
"Guy's I'm worried, this is going to tank and-"Fabian was interrupted.
"Hey Fabes what's up? What is all this." Nina was standing in a pool of sunlight looking beautiful and confused.
"There is something I want to ask you Nina. But I wasn't sure how too. Then a good friend of mine, his name is Led, he told me exactly what to say. These words might be plagiarized but with all honesty I swear." Fabian swallowed hard. Nodded at Mick and Alfie and they simultaneously started to play.
Let me take you to the movies. Can I take you to the show? Let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow?
From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go. From the door comes Satan's daughter and it only goes to show. You know.
There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold. Let me wonder in your garden. And the seeds of love I'll sow. You know.
So the world is spinning faster. Are you dizzy when you stall? Let the music be your master, will you head the master's call?
Said there ain't no use in crying. Cause it will only, only drive you mad. Does it hurt to hear them lying? Was this the only world you had?
So let me take you, take you to the movies. Can I take you, baby, to the show. Let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow?
So Nina, Nina baby be my sweetheart. Cause you're the only girl that I care for. And if you feel equal in love with me babe. Then honey come on over her and prove it!
"Oh my god Fabian!" Nina squealed.
"Dude nice winging it at the last second." Alfie concurred.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend Nina?" Fabian asked over confidently.
"Ever truly!" Nina gave him a hug and a kiss.
