Sorry everybody for not updating for more than a week. I had been a little busy for the past 8 days or so.
Thank you to everybody who read and/or reviewed my story.
Me: (Crying after reading reviews) *sniff* Rachel? *sniff*
Rachel: (Appears at doorway) you called? (Stares at me) What in the world…
Me: *sniff* I read the reviews…*sniff*
Rachel: (Raises eyebrow) so?
Me: It was just so *sniff* nice of them…
Rachel: (Rolls eyes) suck it up already! (Crosses arms) Why did you call me anyways?
Me: I *sniff* wanted you to help me *sniff* do the disclaimer. (Smiles)
Rachel: Again? *sigh* Alright. MiniAsianDoll does not own '39 Clues' or the songs used. Happy now?
Me: *sniff* thanks… now on with the story. :)
Ian's POV
"Amy?" I asked. She turned her head and looked at me. "Yes?" She asked casually.
"Are you Amy Cahill?" I mentally slapped myself for asking such an idiotic question.
"Yes, I am. And you are?" I was shocked she didn't recognize me. Me! The handsome, rich and unforgettable Ian Kabra!
I tried not to allow my current emotion to disturb my ability of speech. "Ian Kabra" I answered, giving her one of my dazzling smiles.
"I see." She said and turned back to the table with food. Her three friends were eyeing me with suspicion.
"I was wondering…if I may have the next dance with you." I said without processing the thought.
"There's a next dance?" She asked her friends. One shrugged and the other two nodded.
She turned and looked at me. Please say 'yes'. Please… Just then some slow music started playing. A slow song? Perfect. I offered her my hand.
She heaved out a sigh and took my hand. "I suppose…"
My hands snaked over to her waist as she put hers' over my shoulder. We're so close…But why isn't she looking at me?
Amy's POV
That snake really knows how to use his charm. I pretended to not know him, hoping he would go away and find some other girl to play mind games with. Thankfully my stutter didn't start.
"I was wondering if I may have the next dance with you." I almost immediately said 'yes' but I held myself back. Be careful or he'll hurt you…again…
After confirming there was a next dance, 'I Loved Her First' by Heartland started playing. I really liked this song…it reminded me of…well…family…
I realized I had taken Ian's hand and was slow dancing with him. His hands were on my waist and mine was on his shoulder.
Don't look at him! Don't look at his eyes…his wonderful amber eyes… I hated myself for thinking about him. You're over him Amy! Don't let him play with your heart again.
The music continued and we danced without saying a word. The lyrics however were speaking to me:
"Look at the two of you,
Dancing that way,
Lost in the moment,
And each others face.
So much in love,
You're alone in this place,
Like there's nobody else in the world.
I was enough for her,
Not long ago,
I was her number one,
She told me so.
And she still means the world to me,
Just so you know,
So be careful when you hold my girl.
Time changes everything,
Life must go on,
And I'm not gonna stand in your way.
I loved her first,
I held her first,
And a place in my heart will always be hers'.
From the first breath she breathed,
When she first smiled at me,
I knew the love of a father runs deep.
And I prayed her to find you someday,
But it's still hard to give her away,
I loved her first.
How could that beautiful woman with you,
Be the first freckle face kid that I knew,
The one that I read all those fairy tales to,
And tucked into bed all those nights.
And I knew the first time I saw you with her,
It was only a matter of time.
But I loved her first,
I held her first,
And a place in my heart will always be hers'.
From the first breath she breathed,
When she first smiled at me,
I knew the love of a father runs deep.
And I prayed her to find you someday,
But it's still hard to give her away,
I loved her first.
From the first breath she breathed,
When she first smiled at me,
I knew the love of a father runs deep.
Someday you might know what I'm going through,
When a miracle smiles up at you,
I loved her first."
The music stopped. "Amy, love?" I heard Ian asked.
I looked up and saw a worried face. "Why do you keep calling me that?" I asked chuckling. "Because it fits you perfectly." He answered with a weak smile.
"Thank you for the dance, Ian" I said not meeting his eyes. I felt my cheeks burn. I must have been blushing. I quickly pushed myself away from him. I rushed to a vacant table and sat down, resting my chin on the palm of my right hand.
Ian followed me to the table and sat on a chair next to me. "You remembered my name?" He sounded surprised.
"Is it that surprising for you?" I replied smiling.
"Usually, no." He replied with a small frown and a weak smile. "But you're the first girl to ever forget me."
I smiled and met his eyes. Those beautiful amber eyes…
I quickly looked away before I was completely hypnotized by his eyes.
I had to leave as soon as possible. I couldn't stay with that snake alone. I'll be vulnerable and he'll just use me again.
I spotted my group of friends at the refreshment table which was at the other side of the room. They were shooting daggers at Ian with their eyes.
"Don't flatter yourself too much, Cobra." I said getting up. "Thanks again…for the dance." I walked off.
"Amy, wait." He too stood up and grabbed my hand.
I saw my friends' eyes widen. Their eyes narrowed and they started walking, or stomping casually if that was possible, in my direction.
He pulled me towards him. We stood close to each other that I started blushing wildly.
"Amy… do you really not remember me?" He asked softly. Wow, here comes his ego…
"Why do you have to ask such a question?" I answered nervously chuckling. I was looking at the floor. "I'm sure there are other "Amy Cahill's" in this world. Perhaps the one you knew isn't me."
"Well, I'm very sure the "Amy Cahill" I'm looking for is you." He replied.
"And why is that so?" I asked him curiously.
"You certainly remember my nickname." I looked up and realized that we were closer than before. I looked down again avoiding eye contact.
"N-Nickname?" Of all times, why did I have to stutter now?
"You called me 'Cobra' instead of 'Kabra'. Very few people call me by my last name like you did." He answered.
His hand went to my chin and lifted it causing me to look him straight in the eye. Those beautiful amber eyes… I started to blush.
I pushed his hand away softly and looked at the floor for the third time.
"A-Anybody could c-call you that." I answered softly. Go away stutter!
"Your cheeks turn brilliantly red when you blush…" He said as his hands slowly went around my waist. I didn't realize it.
"E-Everybody b-blushes…It's h-human…" I said biting my lower lip.
"You have the same brownish-red hair the "Amy" I knew had…" He said running his fingers through my hair.
I pushed his right hand away. I still felt…well…insecure, nervous and other feelings which were being mashed up together.
"T-There are plenty of r-red heads on this planet…" I said as I continued to bite my lower lip.
"You stutter and you bite your lower lip too." He said leaning closer to me. I looked up and saw his face so close to mine. He was leaning in to kiss me.
Ian's POV
It was absolutely perfect. I had danced with Amy, had my hands around her waist meaning she couldn't escape, ready to kiss her.
Then all of a sudden, somebody yanked me back by the collar. I let go of Amy's waist.
"I swear if you're trying to hurt her, I'll kill you, Kabra boy!" I heard he or she hiss into my ear.
"Rachel!" Amy said half yelling half whispering. So it is a girl…must be one of Amy's companions…
I grabbed the girls hand and turned around. Her face showed anger and if looks could kill, I would have been murdered by this girl.
She yanked her hand out of my grasp. "If you ever hurt her, emotionally or physically, whether you meant it or not, I would burn you alive or do whatever torturous method I could think of at that certain time." She said in one breath.
"I wasn't trying to!" I muttered under my breath. She glared at me as she walked to Amy's side. Two other girls were already standing next to Amy, comforting her.
"Ames, you alright?" She asked gently.
Amy slowly nodded. Her cheeks were still red but the blush was slowly subsiding.
"Come on, let's go eat something" She said placing her hand on Amy's shoulder.
As they slowly made their way to the table, the other two girls stood behind Amy to 'guard' her.
I was left standing there on my own, recollecting my thoughts. Everything was going so well until those three came…I almost kissed her…
"IAN!" I spun around and saw Natalie rushing towards me.
Again, I'm SO SORRY I didn't update earlier. Thank you to my reviewers who told me that my story wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :')
Anyways, please review and give me whatever criticism or other things. And if you're reviewing can you also state your family branch?
I'm doing my own little survey to figure out how many Lucian, Tomas, Janus and Ekaterina (Assuming there are no pure Madrigals) are there and figure out the population.
It's for another story I'll be writing (but not posting on the web) for a friend as a birthday gift. Please help me out, okay?
