Chapter 7
Take Me Under
By the time they all got back and came inside, the living room had a small stage with lights and speakers. The couch and were gone and so was the TV (o.O Nooo!). Everyone just stood there and stared.
Tyson came downstairs carrying plugs and extension cords. "Hey guys!" he said dropping all the stuff on the floor next to the stage and walked over to them.
"What the hell did you do to our living room!" Tala yelled.
"Bryan, Spencer, and Ian said it was okay," Tyson mumbled.
Tala scowled and crossed his arms over his chest.
Everyone took off their coats, scarves, and boots and sat down on the floor. "So, when is it ganna start?" Myto asked Tyson as he plugged things in here and adjusted things there. "In a few minutes," Tyson said putting up the microphone.
…: About an HOUR later :…
"Okay everyone lets start the karaoke night!" Tyson yelled into the microphone. Everyone was in the living room/stage thing. "Who would like to go first?" Tyson said looking out at everyone.
"I will!" Tala said walking up on stage.
"What song?" Tyson whispered.
"Take Me Under," Tala muttered.
Tyson nodded and jumped off stage.
"Okay…So I'm going to sing 'Take Me Under'," Tala said not taking his eyes off Myto.
Can you hear me? Does anyone around me feel the way that I feel now?
'Cause from the window where I sometimes cryI just want to see your face tonight
And I'm willing to loose everything I am…
'Cause I need you more than ever…
I need you around to find where I've been going wrong so far…
Take me under your wings tonightMake me be perfect in your eyes
Hold on 'cause it'll be all right
You're not alone…
When you're near me…I feel like I just found me
In the traces of the boy from yesterday
But in a world that is black and white
I will take the steps to change my life
And I won't be coming back to here again
And I need your loving hand to guide me
Through a maze of all things beside me
And that I know that I'm all right
'Cause I need you more than ever
I need you around to find where I've been going wrong so farTake me under your wings tonight
Make me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on 'cause it's all right
You're not alone…
Please help me get from worse to betterAnd let me know that I'm all right
I still have one strike in this mach left
And I'm holding on with my last breath
And it's getting a little dark around to see here
Take me under your wings tonightMake me so perfect in your eyes
Hold on 'cause it'll be all right
You're not alone…
You're not alone…
And you'll be here to love me
You'll love me always
You'll love me for always
Always...
Myto stared up at Tala as the song came to an end. For a while he stared back then he dropped his gaze to the ground and jumped off the stage. Tyson came back up. "That was awesome…now, who wants to go next?"
"I will!" Myto yelled climbing up on stage.
"What song?"
"Every Time We Touch,"
"Good one," he said jumping off the stage.
"I'm going to sing 'Every Time We Touch…hope you like it," She said into the mike.
I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me../
I still feel your touch in my dreams…
Forgive me, my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive!
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feelingAnd every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last!
I need you by my side…
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you feel my heart beat so? I can't let you go!
I want you in my life…
Techno Music Playing
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall!
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feelingAnd every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last!
I need you by my side…
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky
Can't you feel my heart beat so? I can't let you go!
I want you in my life…
More Techno Music Plays
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last!
I need you by my side…
When it was over Myto jumped down from the stage and walked over to Tala. He just stood there with a small path of newborn tears rolling down his cheeks. She suddenly hugged him, making him falter slightly but he hugged her back.
She looked up at him as tears started forming in her eyes. "No, don't cry…it's all right," he said kissing away her tears. She slowly moved her arms around his neck.
"I forgive you," she whispered before kissing him.
He grasped the back of her neck trying to deepen the kiss as much as possible. And this time she didn't hesitate when he asked for entrance. The kiss would have lasted much longer if something called 'Oxygen' didn't get in the way. They were panting but they were very content even being in each other's arms.
"Can we go up stairs?" Tala asked when their breathing had returned to normal.
She nodded and placed her hand in his.
They climbed the stairs and shut the door to their room softly, leaving the roaring music behind. They lay down on the soft bed, gradually taking their clothes off. Soon Myto was in her underwear and bra and Tala was just in his boxers.
Myto looked up at Tala; he looked down at her with sorrow filled eyes.
"Myto… I am so sorry… I didn't know what I was doing…I was so stupid," Tala said nuzzling his nose in the nape of her neck and breathed in her sweet ginger sent. Myto just hugged him tightly. But then she felt her neck, where Tala's face was, starting to get wet. His shoulders trembled and when he talked his voice was cracked.
"I never wanted to hurt you…I feel so bad about it," he said lifting his head up to look at her.
"Please…not tonight…I just want to be with you," Myto whispered cuddling close to his warm body. He lay on his side so he could wrap his arms around her waist. She pressed her back against his chest and let out a content sigh. Tala closed his eyes and so did Myto.
"Good night," he whispered.
"Night," She muttered before slipping into darkness.
…: Morning :…
Tala hugged a soft pillow as he slept. He noticed it didn't smell like ginger and he immediately opened his eyes.
"Must have been a dream," Tala said to himself as he sat up. But to his surprise, Myto was sitting on the floor wearing a black sweatshirt and trying to pull on some gray sweat pants. She looked at him when he sat up, she smiled, pulled on the pants and jumped on the bed; she kissed his nose lightly.
"Well good morning sleepy head," she said giggling some. Before Tala could say anything the doorbell rang. Myto quickly got out of bed and ran down stairs. She slipped and fell but quickly got back up. "I got it! I got it! I got it!" she yelled opening the door.
Her smile left when cool metal was pressed against her forehead.
OMFG! Who do you think it is!
R&R! Thankies!
