Chapter 10
"So do you want to be Glinda or Elphaba?" I ask Cat while walking into my living room and flopping down on my back on the couch and taking up the whole thing, much like Trina would.
The car ride to my house had been mostly silent, not that I really minded, I was still trying to gain control of what that kiss did to me.
"I want to be Elphaba! I love some of the vocals she has!" Cat says following me into the living room and sitting down on my lap sine there was nowhere else open. Ok, she is not helping my case. But it does feel kinda nice, no Tori, bad thoughts! Cat is your friend, calm your hormones.
"Ok, I'll be Glinda then, do you have any ideas for choreography?" I ask trying to keep my voice steady while there are a million butterflies swirling through my stomach and a heat was spreading through my body.
"Well," she says standing up, and I immediately missed the contact. "I think we should just starting singing and see where the music takes us, go by instinct and then build off of that." she says. It doesn't sound like a bad idea, but who knows what my instincts might tell me?
"Alright, I have the instrumental on my pearpod so let's just see where we go with it." I say plugging my pearpod into my speakers and starting the music.
"Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now,
I hope you're happy how you
hurt your cause forever,
I hope you think you're clever!" I start out, getting into the song and really putting my voice into it.
"I hope you're happy,
I hope you're happy too,
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission,
To feed your own ambition!" she sings glaring at me.
"So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now!" we sing together.
"Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry,
You can still be with the Wizard,
What you've worked and waited for, You can have all you ever wanted." I sing giving her a defeated look.
"I know. But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore." She gets a determined look on her face.
"Something has changed within me.
Something is not the same." she shakes her head back and forth (signal for 'no')
"I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game.
Too late for second-guessing,
Too late to go back to sleep,
It's time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes and leap!" she closes her eyes while holding out 'leap'.
"It's time to try
Defying gravity!
I think I'll try
Defying gravity!
And you can't pull me down!" she sings looking at me.
"Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur" I give her a longing look as I try to convince her.
"I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!" she sings, her voice strong and her face determined once again.
"I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity!
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity!
And you can't pull me down!" Well I'll gladly kiss her again if she wants me to... No! Bad Tori! Focus!
"Glinda- come with me. Think of what we could do together." she says facing me and taking my hand.
"Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em" she gives me a small smile.
"If we work in tandem" I mirror her smile.
"There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity" We sing together, smiling at each other.
"They'll never bring us down!
Well? Are you coming?" she asks giving me and expectant look.
We both take a step back to be ready for the next part.
"I hope you're happy,
Now that you're choosing this" I sing looking at her
"You too" she says nodding.
"I hope it brings you bliss" she starts,
"I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend" we finish together.
"So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!" she sings,looking like she's completely in the moment.
"I hope you're happy!" I sing.
"Look at her, she's wicked!
Get her!" the track plays.
"Bring me down!" She repeats.
"No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her" the track goes again.
"Ahhhh!" Cat sings really showing off her vocals
"Down!" the track finishes.
"Tori that was so good!" Cat squeal as she jumps in my arms to hug me.
"You were amazing." I murmur into her hair, she smells like strawberries.
"Aww thanks Tor, you were really good too." she says pulling back and smiling at me. "We make a good team." I know she meant for singing, but I wish it meant more than that.
"Do you think we should practice more?" she asks.
"Nah" I say. "We have until Friday, lets just chill for a while, we can do another run through later."
For some reason I don't really want to practice, I just want to hang out and spend some time with her. Usually I'm very diligent with my studies and I dedicate a lot of time to practicing songs and lines, but things are different with Cat.
"Ok!" she says perkily, "what do you want to do?"
"Hmmm, do you want to watch another movie?" I ask.
"Sure, but no scary ones like last time." she says looking scared at the memory. And that reminds me about her nightmares. I want to learn more about them, but how do I get her to open up? How do I learn to understand her?
"Ok, why don't we watch The Lion King?" I asked knowing it was one of her favorites.
Cat squealed and did a little happy dance.I just laughed.
"I'll take that as a yes then?"
She nods her head vigorously and we make our way to my room to watch the movie this time. I pop it in my old VHS player (yes I have one, they're about as boss as you get) and we settle on me bed leaning back against the head bored, Cats head resting on my shoulder, her arm linked with mine.
Every few minutes Cat would change positions, going from head on my shoulder, to head in my lap while she laid sideways, to full on sitting in my lap with her head resting near the crook of my neck. I'm not saying I'm not enjoying all the contact but she is making it very hard to keep my thoughts clean.
"I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!" Cat sang with the movie.
"Well I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair." I said.
We got into the music, getting up off my bed and dancing around, and somehow we ended up with her arms around my neck and my hands on her hips.
We finished the song, foreheads leaning against each other. I made the mistake of looking into her eyes, and getting lost in the deep brown pools of wonder.
I find myself start to lean in but immediately snap out of it and pull away, getting back onto my bed. Cat crawls back up and plops into my lap just like before, but something's different. She has this look in her eyes, and it almost looks like... disappointment? What would she be disappointed about? That you didn't kiss her? No, that couldn't be it, you're being crazy Tori. Cats your friend, nothing more. But you wish it were more.
Cats head rests on your shoulder, her breath soft and even. We had decided to watch the second Lion King and she had ended up falling asleep near the end of it. I don't really have to heart to wake her so I try to lay her down under my bed covers, but she won't stop clinging to me. I decide that attempting to disentangle myself from her grasp would be futile, the petite red head is really a lot stronger than she looks.
I lay down next to her and she only snuggles closer, her head in the crook of my neck and her hand going around my waist. I don't really know what to do with my hands so I just settle for putting them under my head. I wouldn't want to grope her in her sleep or anything, well...TORI! Damn I need to have a serious mental chat with myself about this newly found pervertedness.
Hmmm I wonder when Cat is gonna wake up. I'm up but her arm is still around my waist, and I don't want to move it and wake her, 'cause that would be rude, right?
"How do you do it?" I hear Cat say quietly, her head still in the crook of my neck. Well I guess she's up now.
"Do what?" I ask.
"How do you stop the bad dreams?" she pulls back to look at me.
Huh. So she didn't have one again. I know it's good, but I can't help but wonder, why? Did she feel safe around me?
"I don't know, but it's a good thing, isn't it?" I say.
"Yes!" she says smiling. "I just wish I knew what it was so I could stop them more often." she says with a pout, god she's adorable.
"Well let's not focus on nightmares, we need to get ready for school." I say hopping up off the bed.
"Okay!" she says jumping up and running out of my room and downstairs. I laugh to myself and follow her down to find her in my kitchen looking in my fridge.
"Looking for something?" I laugh as I walk into the kitchen.
"I'm gonna make you breakfast! You go get ready for school!" she says. Awww she wants to make me breakfast, how sweet.
After I shower and get dressed I come downstairs to find Cat setting the table with plates of pancakes, sausage, and bacon. Wow this girl can cook.
I go to the table and sit down with Cat. She gives me a smile and starts eating. I take a bite of the pancake and I swear there was an orgasm in my mouth. Seriously, I don't think I've ever tasted anything this good.
"Cat theses are amazing!" I say.
Her face erupts in a vibrant smile."I'm glad you like them."
There wasn't much talking after that as we ate. When we were finished we headed out. We made a quick stop at Cats so she could change her clothes, and then we headed off to school. We got there with only five minutes left until classes started so we had to split ways as I head off to English class and she head off to makeup class.
