11: New Year's slide show
I don't own FB and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to NR13
POV of Amber Sohma
He pulls me closer to him, digging his fingers into my hair and trying to tongue me when I stop him.
"Aaron!" I manage to gasp out so he stops,
"Too far?" I nod because the last time I did that was with Eric and it's alien to me to be honest. "Sorry, well let's go back to your place before we're late." I nod so he starts the car, he hands me his phone and says "Put on Black Veil Brides will ya? I heard you were into them." I give a "oh right..." kind of smile because I only heard them once and well...
I put them on, he starts singing the lyrics but I'm there like "the whole gang's here..." written across my face. He glances over to me and starts laughing.
"I take it that you don't like them then." I shake my head, he sighs "Well we can take them off then if you want." I scroll through his music and I see Nirvana.
"These guys are freaking legends!" I start singing in tone with Kurt Cobain as he sings Heart Shaped Box.
"I didn't know you could sing Amber." he offers his slick smile of his making me blush a bit.
"Yeah it's cause Adrian's in a band called Adrenaline and sometimes I sing with them. But lately we haven't been getting any gigs lately." I pout so he shakes my arm
"I think I can help with that," he winks
"How? Adrian's been kind a down since their last gig was 2 months ago and Whiplash really needs the money." He nods
"Well my uncle owns this one hole in the wall and on Fridays we have live bands so maybe I can talk it out and get a gig for you guys," he smiles at me
"That be amazing!"
"On one condition and Whiplash huh? What kind of name is that?"
"What is it? And Whiplash would get whiplashed with the jump ropes in middle school when we all did spots so we called him "Whiplash" as a joke."
We're at a intersection with a red light so he leans over and says "If you become my girlfriend," I look at him bugged eyed and swallow
"Um okay." He smiles then pecks me
"December 23rd 'member the date babe." He returns his attention back to the road but I'm just like on the inside
"Ohmigod I'm dating Aaron Miles, the Aaron Miles!" We show up at my house so we park and we go inside the Main House into Akito's den because Momiji (the blonde bunny) and Ritsu (the monkey) made a slide show of the family over the year so it's like a tradition to watch it.
We sit down on the floor next to Adrian and Angel who are cuddling next to each other, I wave hey before Aaron and I sit down, Aaron wraps one of his arms around me and pulls me against him. The lights go off sending giggles into the air and I recognize Shigure's and Ayame's so I scream out
"Shut up! Love you!" everyone giggles then we're silent as the classic old film's countdown appears. The Sohma crest appears and there's a text over it saying
"Fellow family members, I know it's not easy to be in our family but here's a reminder why we haven't killed each other yet..." There's a picture of everyone in a group picture that was done in the summer at the hot springs we own.
"Before we look at the pictures from this year let's look at Momiji's favorites..."there's a picture of him with Mom and Kyo together. Then it's of me and Adrian when we were little kids with stupid grins across our faces as mud cakes our skins. Another random ones pop up then the new text come out
"From what I heard we have a new outsider so Aaron, we'll give you a brief history of the Sohmas, we turn into animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Don't you dare tell anyone!"the next pictures are of everyone. There's one of me and Momma Kisa as tigers and there are arrows pointing at us with our names on them. The next one is of Akito and Adrian glaring at each other and Ren in the back ground trying to break the tension. There's a video of Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori that plays after.
"So Ayame what's going to be your next New Year's resolution?" someone asks so Ayame answers in his over exaggerating way of his.
"I'm finally going to make Yuki love me like he should! Every time he rejects me as a brother it kills me!" Then you can hear Dad yell out
"Not going to happen!" sending laughs from everyone so Ayame in the video yells out
"You will love me even if it's the last thing that I do!" the camera goes to Hatori's face making him to swat it out of his face.
"Go away Ritsu,"
"So tell us what's your New Year's resolution is going to be?" I cover my face because I know what's going to happen next.
"That he's finally going to get laid or get married!" I scream from the background as I appear in the doorway. Hatori yells out
"Just because I'm blind in one eye doesn't mean I can't get you!" he chases after me, I scream-giggle then we disappear from the video as he chases me in the hallway. The camera goes back to Shigure, he has this faraway look on his face with droll coming out of the corner of his mouth.
"Shigure, what's your New Year resolution?" silence passes by so Shigure looks back at the camera
"Sorry did you say something?" the video ends so it's just pictures for now but it makes us all laugh because of the stupid poses people strike up. It's another video but it's me with Adrenaline band members practicing.
"So this is the legendary Adrenaline?" Momiji asks so I set down my guitar and answer
"I'm not depending on this for the rest of my life." Then Adrian comes over and chokes me
"But we do so don't hate! Especially Whiplash and Josh, they're not good at anything else." Whiplash and Josh yell out from behind the camera
"Shut up bird boy!" Adrian glares at them so the camera's directed at Whiplash and Josh who are being attacked by Adrian in his crow form. "UNCLE UNCLE!" they scream out as Adrian dive bombs them with his beak. Adrian transforms back,
"Ha yeah..."
The slide show ends so we all eat but a couple of hours later and it being 3 am in the morning, I walk Aaron to the door.
"Thanks for coming," I smile so he kisses me then says
"Goodnight Amber." He turns on his heel when I call out
"Theoretically its morning." I smart ass him making us smile.
"Whatever! Bye!" he drives away so once when I see him disappear behind the gate I return to the party inside.
