After 6th period, Takiko and Aya went into their next class; theatre. Silently, Takiko prayed that Jesse wouldn't be anywhere near the classroom. Her wish didn't come true. He was not only near it, he was IN it.
She yanked Aya to the furthest seats away from him. Aya glared at the boy, recognizing him from earlier that morning. "Who IS that guy, by the way?" Aya whispered as they slinked into their seats. "Just a boy with a cocky attitude." Takiko tried to make her invisible by lowering herself.
Aya glanced at the boy. He didn't seem to know they were there yet. He was too busy being stupid with another senior. Just as Aya was about to ask Takiko about her necklace, a BIG booming voice called out, "Well, well, well, if it isn't our little miss Takiko! And look, we've got someone new!"
Aya found a large hand waving in her face. She/he looked up to find a REALLY tall man with short black hair (did ALL the men in this world have short hair?) with glasses and somewhat of a dorky looking tucked in, cheep looking clothing. The man was seriously a giant. He was even taller than HIS own male form. And Limdo was pretty tall.
Aya cautiously took the hand. The big man shook it so hard that Aya shook with it. "I'll be your teacher for this year! My name is Mr. Keith! It's a pleasure to meet you!" he smiled down at Aya. Aya managed a weak smile. "Eheh….nice to meet you too, Mr. Keith…"
Mr. Keith turned his attention back to Takiko, who was now sitting straight. (Obviously she'd given up hope that the boy hadn't noticed her.) "Takiko, you will be trying out for Dracula, right?" he asked her. Takiko nodded. "Splendid!" he then turned away to meet other members of his class. The boy had noticed them.
"May I sit here?" he asked, pointing to the seat next to the girls…ok girl, and ones a guy in disguise. (GASP) Takiko desperately tried to find an excuse why he couldn't. There didn't seem to be any. "No, because…um…" just then the door opened and in came Elie…but to Takiko, it was an angel, coming to save her from the clutches of the devil.
"Elie is already sitting here." Takiko smiled sweetly. Jesse frowned a bit, then said, "Meet me after school; I need to show you something." Into Takiko's ear. He stood up and went back to being a retard with the other seniors.
Takiko rolled her eyes. When would he EVER stop? Takiko waved Elie over, who had just finished writing something down for Mr. Keith. Elie was an EXTREAMLY talented artist. For her talent, she had been picked to do backdrops for all the school plays in the district. Elie happened to be the most prepared of all her friends (except Takiko) for she had saved the money she got from painting the backdrops.
Elie sat down in the empty chair. "Guess what? Mr. Keith asked me to…" Elie started, pulling out her theatre binder.
"Paint the backdrop for Dracula? Yea, we all knew you would." Takiko smiled.
"Ok, well THAT'S not the surprising part…you know that girl you had sit with us today? What was her name….Takara? Well, she's helping too."
"Is there something wrong with that?" Aya growled, feeling protective all of a sudden. Maybe it was because of that BOY asking to sit with HIS Takiko.
"N-no, there's no problem…it's just a bit strange…" Elie answered, "I usually work alone. I suppose it would be a cool experience…maybe we'll get to…uh…know each other."
Takiko was about to comment, when she noticed Aya glaring straight at Jesse. 'Why is Aya mad at Jesse? Did Jesse do something to her, too? No, Aya just transferred here, Jesse isn't that quick to tick someone off…plus I've been with Aya all day… so WHAT in the world could it be?' she thought before turning her attention to the teacher. (You know, Takiko is kind of a dunce today.)
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Takiko stood outside the fine arts building, waiting for Jesse. She'd decided to listen to what the idiot had to tell her. So here she was, waiting for her worst enemy.
"Didn't expect to see you come." Takiko turned to meet Jesse's eyes. She gulped. "What do you want?" she whispered. "Now, now my dearest Takiko…we shouldn't rush…"
"If you have nothing important to tell me, then I'll take my leave…"
"No, no…fine, but I would have preferred a longer conversation."
He took her hand and looked deep into her eyes, the look in them caused her to blush. "We've known each other for a long time…and I was wondering…if you'd like to take our relationship to the next level."
Takiko was about to yell, "WHAT RELATIONSHIP? WHAT KIND OF CRAP ARE YOU PULLING?" but when he let go of her hand, and her fingers sensed something cold and metallic…she went numb. Slowly she opened her hand and stared down at the thing he had left in her hand. It was a ring. But not just any ring…an engagement ring. It had a gold band, with a ridiculously large diamond on it.
This was happening WAY too fast…but she couldn't say a word. She wasn't sure what she was feeling. Before she'd known what had come out of her mouth, she said, "C-could I have time to…think?" Hmm…her voice didn't sound like hers anymore.
Jesse flashed his famous smile. "Of coarse, my dear Takiko." Takiko nodded, and without a word of goodbye, she turned and dashed to her Ferrari.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
He'd missed the bus…AGAIN!!! These bus people must've hated him, for as soon as he came in sight of the bus, the bus had speed off without him.
Limdo turned his heel and headed for the alley way. Takiko had told him to go on without her, saying she already had a car, so her transportation was already token care of. Too bad Limdo didn't have a so called 'drivers license.'
He got ready to leap up the wall, just as he had done that morning, when someone called out, "need a lift, stranger?" he turned to the Ferrari parked outside the alley way. Takiko gave him a funny look. "What in the world are you doing in there? Are you in some sort of gang or something?" Limdo shook his head, not really knowing what a gang was.
"So do you want a ride or what?" she asked again. "Um…alright." Limdo climbed into the car and put on the contraption called a 'seat belt'. He wasn't sure what they were for, but whatever. Takiko started the car again and started to drive. The car had power in it, he could tell. This thing was built for speed, but Takiko seemed to have control over her car.
"So, where do you live?" Takiko asked. "I'll tell you if you tell me where you live." Limdo answered. Takiko glanced at him for a couple of seconds before her eyes turned back to the road. "The Hollywood apartments, I live at the very top of them. Its got a great view…but its nothing compared to…" she stopped herself. "Never mind, it's your turn to tell me where you live." Takiko smiled, brushing off what she'd been saying. "Toscana apartments." Limdo said. "They've got no view." He finished. Takiko laughed before turning on the radio.
"…I heard Takiko is going to be recording her new album this weekend, isn't that right bob?"
"Yes Craig, that's the rumors. I also heard she's trying to become the #1 best seller, am I right?"
"You sure are! Alright folks, here "Little too late" by Takiko…"
Takiko reached for the radio. "Great, now there's going to be a crowd." Takiko muttered. Limdo grabbed her arm. "I want to listen." He told her. (Yes, he's still in female form) Takiko sighed and pulled away from the radio.
So let me on down It's just too little too late Yeah yeaaahhh... It's just too little too late... Mhmmm I was young It's just too little too late I can love with all of my heart, baby It's just too little too late Yeah It's just too little too late
Come with me
Stay the night
You say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But boy you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game (You know it's just too little too late)
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know...
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate (You know it's just too little too late)
Go find someone else
In letting you go
I'm loving myself
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help
'Cause you know...
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you I don't have a prayer
That's no way to live
Ohhhh... mmm nooo
It's just too little too late
Yeaahhhh...
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
You know it's just too little too late
Oh, I can't wait
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)
The song finished, and Takiko turned it off. "Happy now?" she asked. Limdo nodded. "You've got a nice voice. I've never heard it before." Which was a total lie, but whatever.
"You've never heard it?" Takiko chuckled. "nope, I WAS going to buy the album this morning, but the sign outside the album store's window was a lie. There was only one left, and some big head took it before I could get it. After I wrenched it from the kid's hands, the manager kicked me out."
Takiko laughed, "You wanted it so bad, and you got into a fight? Why didn't you ask me for one? I could have given it to you for free! I get two whole BOXES of them."
Limdo blushed. He hadn't thought of this. "Could I really have one?" Takiko nodded. "We'll swing by my place; it's on the way to your apartments."
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Takiko walked into her lobby. The big man reading Japanese comics sat at the desk, and looked up to see Takiko. "Jed, if this girl comes in here, let her through. She's with me." Jed nodded and turned back to his comics.
Takiko pulled Aya into the fancy looking elevator. She pushed 20.
The two were silent, watching the arrow as it moved slowly. "So was there a reason why you wrote that song?" Aya asked coolly. "Yup but it's a LONG story, and I really don't feel like talking about It." the doors opened to reveal a HUGE hallway, leading into an even BIGGER room.
Takiko kicked off her heals by the elevator. Apparently she had company, for there were other shoes there too. "The albums are over here." Takiko pulled Aya into the kitchen. She leaned over and opened up one of the cabinets. As she did this, Aya took the chance to observe the room she was in. her kitchen had cherry wood cabinets, with granite countertops.
The living room was what impressed Aya the most. The living room was filled with fine, black leather furniture, with white carpet. There was a big, HUGE flat screen TV, which practically took up one of her walls. There was also surround sound, too. But what impressed him the most was the view. One of the walls was curved in a half circle, the half circle happened to be made of GLASS. There was a view of the sky, half of the city (the pretty half), AND the Hollywood sign.
Behind the window, was a balcony. Not a sissy little one. A HUGE one. It had a large pool with a diving board, AND a Jacuzzi.
"HERE IT IS!" Takiko waved the album in the air. As she did, something small flung from her pocket. Aya picked it up for her. It was an expensive looking ring.
Aya gave it back to Takiko, who seemed quite pale by the sight of it. "What is it? What did the ring do?" Aya asked, not knowing what it meant.
"You didn't have engament rings?" Takiko asked. "Nope." Aya hadn't figured it out…yet.
"Well, in most countries…when you love someone, and you want to spend the rest of your life with said person… you get on your knees and hold out a ring like that….and ask them to marry you…except only guys do that. It's the girl's job to give the answer."
They were silent; Aya just stared at the ring. "Who gave it to you? What was your answer?"
"Jesse…I haven't told him an answer yet." Takiko answered, afraid to look at Aya. Aya growled. "I've gotta go, I'll be fine walking from here." Aya turned and headed toward the door. "Aya, did I somehow…offend you?" Takiko asked. Limdo didn't look at her. "Do you have someone you love?" he asked. "…Yes I do."
"Was it he who asked you to marry him?"
"No…it wasn't."
"So you'll marry someone you don't love?"
"No."
"That's all I wanted to know." with that, Limdo left the apartment.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk
