I Still Love You
Chapter 11: Pwetty Pwease?
Hello guys! Please read this! Well, in the next chapter, Melody's powers will be revealed and I'm VERY stuck on deciding what her powers should be! Can you please help me?!
Please suggest some powers for Melody by reviewing, and if you don't give me any ideas of her powers then I wouldn't be able to post the next chapter! It has to do with music! Thanks!
I was going to make Melody's powers as Sound but I don't think that will be good enough :)
Musa POV
I smiled at him a bit and hugged him again. I finally looked into his eyes.
"Thank you...Riven" I whispered, with a smile. His eyes were looking straight into mine. I could just melt into his violet eyes. I then felt him leaning closer to me. And somehow, my face was leaning closer to his too. Our faces were only inches away, our noses touching..
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, and he did too. Wait! What am I doing?! Oh god, this is wrong! I can't kiss him!
Before our lips touched, I opened my eyes and took a step backwards. Riven looked at me with hurt in his eyes.
"Riven, I don't know what we're trying to do but I know it's wrong...I mean-"
"I understand, and I agree, Musa" Riven frowned and put his head down. I sighed and walked over to him. I touched his cheek with my hand and gave him a smile.
"I want you to know, that I...forgive you for breaking up with me. I finally can forgive you, but I don't think we can be together again" I explained and looked at him in the eyes. Riven sighed silently and nodded.
"Really? Thank you Musa...it means a lot to me" Riven whispered and smiled a bit.
"But...I want to know why you really broke up with me, I need the real reason, unless you really never loved me" I frowned at him and put my hand down.
"I never stopped loving you..but I can't tell you the real reason now. Maybe another time" Riven said.
"Okay" I said, "I understand"
"So, can we at least be friends?" Riven asked.
"Yeah, friends" I smiled.
"Friends" Riven grinned and we shook hands. I leaned up to him and hugged him, while giving him a quick peck on the cheek. Once we pulled away, I looked around. It wasn't quiet coz it was still raining. But there wasn't any cars passing either.
It was getting very late. The sky was so dark.
"I better go now. I'm going to walk home" I said.
"In the rain?" Riven asked, surprised. I nodded.
"I just feel like it"
"Umm...if you want, I could walk you home. Even though we're friends now, it doesn't mean I stop caring about you, and anyway, it might be dangerous at night. You'll never know what's out there, and I have car so we can drive home if you want" Riven suggested.
I chuckled, "I don't want to go home by car but I want you to walk me home"
Riven smiled. We walked sided by side together in the rain. My hair was soaked and so was his. I wasn't shivering anymore coz of Riven's suit but I became worried that he will be cold. And I'm sure that I will get a cold in the morning. Oh great!
We walked home in silence, not talking to each other. It was quite awkward now that we're friends but I'm sure we'll get over it soon. The droplet s of rain was so cold and my skin was freezing.
We finally arrived in my house. I stood in front of my door and I took his blazer off me and gave it to him. Riven was standing in front of me.
"Thanks, Riv" I smiled.
"It's okay and I have to go now" Riven smiled.
"Are you walking back to the restaurant to go to your car?" I asked. Riven nodded.
"But Riven! It's still raining!" I frowned.
"I don't really care Muse" Riven said and turned to walk away.
"Wait! Can't you stay in my house for the night?" I asked, hoping he would say yes. He turned back around and looked at me.
"Nah...I'm fine walking" Riven shrugged. He then started walking away. But I was worried that he'll get sick! I don't want him to walk in the rain again! I also care about him, just like the way he cares about me...
"Wait!" I shouted and ran towards him. He turned around again and I was now right in front of him.
"Riv, I care about you just like the way you care about me. So please stay for the night?" I begged. Riven stared at me for a minute before nodding.
"Only coz you begged" Riven smirked and I hit his chest playfully. We went back in my house.
"I think I have your spare clothes in my room from when we were together" I said to him as he waited near the living room.
"You still keep my clothes?" Riven asked. I blushed and my heart was beating ever so quickly!
"Umm...w-well...I-"
"Never mind, forget about it" he chuckled. I sighed in relief and went in my room to get his clothes. Once I came back, I gave it to him.
"Are you sure it will fit me? I mean, I've been working out a lot more for the past 4 years so I'm even more muscular then before" Riven said.
I laughed a bit and shook my head, "I'm sure it will fit"
"Do you want to take a shower after I have a shower?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure" he replied.
I grinned at him and went in the shower. Since the rain was cold, I could use some warm shower. Plus, my knees were caked with dirt. Once I was done, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a small towel around my body.
I got changed in a red nightgown that reached my knees and looks like a tank top at the top and let my wet long hair cascade down my back. Riven then went in the bathroom to have a shower. I then remembered, Riven and I didn't have dinner coz we left the restaurant!
I quickly walked to the kitchen and began to collect some ingredients. I actually love cooking now coz I cook everyday for Melody and since Riv and I didn't have dinner, I decided to cook dinner for the two of us.
Riven came out of the bathroom in the clothes I gave him.
"Hmm...do I smell nice cooking?" Riven smirked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Well yes" I chuckled at him and put the glass of wine on the table.
"For a special occasion?" Riven wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed at him and shook my head. I served up the food on the table and we started eating.
"Hey, thanks Muse" Riven smiled at me, "By the way, the clothes you gave me is slightly small but it's okay for one night"
"Ok and your welcome" I grinned.
"Wow, you're food is delicious! If any guy marries you some day, you would be a great wife and the guy would be so lucky" Riven smiled. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Oh really?" I chuckled. He nodded. I sighed and carried on eating the food. I've always dreamt that Riven would be my husband some day. I just wish that would actually happen. But I still can't get over the fact that he broke up with me and said that he never loved me. That hit me, really hard.
But he did say that that wasn't the reason why he broke up with me. But I'm sure as hell gonna find out the real reason why he broke up with me...soon.
After we finished eating, we went to the living room and sat on the couch to watch TV.
"Is Melody at her friend's house tonight?" Riven asked. I turned to come face to face with him.
"Yeah, she's at Stella's house in Solaria with Stella's son, Alex, who was born a day before Mel" I smiled. Riven nodded and turned his head to the side. I moved a little bit and saw him frowning. It breaks my heart when he's sad coz he's usually never sad. But I guess I'm not used to the new Riven yet.
I moved a little closer to him until our bodies touched. I touched his chin and turned his face to mine.
"What's wrong?" I asked quietly.
Riven sighed and pushed my hand away, "I didn't know anything about this 'Alex' kid who you're saying is Stella's son coz I've missed out on a lot. I don't even know who the Winx's and Specialists kids yet. I just..."
"I understand" I whispered and touched his hand that was resting on his lap. "You did miss out on a LOT of stuff"
"And I'm kinda sad that if I meet the Winx, they would hate me, coz...you know"
"Yeah, I get what you mean. But honestly, they all miss you. And...I'm sure the Specialists would like to see you again. And you will see them again later, I promise" I smiled. Riven sighed again and looked into my eyes. I went a bit more closer to him and put my hands around his neck and leaned the back of my head on his neck.
"I've already seen the Specialists" Riven whispered.
"Yeah...wait! What?!" I asked.
"Well, you see...I work in Red Fountain now and some of the boys go there" he explained, "But I don't understand why Sky isn't in his kingdom?"
"Oh, about that, he decided to take a break from all that royal stuff for a while" I replied. Riven nodded and took a deep breath, my head was still on his neck. I turned my head up a bit and kissed his cheek.
"Goodnight, Riven" I whispered and pulled away from him.
"Yeah, night" he muttered and stood up to go in the spare room. I got on my tip toes and hugged him. "Thanks, for being my friend, Riv" I whispered before walking into my room.
I lied down on my bed to think about all the things that has happened so far. But I'm not sure if I can stand being Riven's friend coz we've been through a lot and it hurts knowing that he was the man I loved, who left me, and came back a few years later...
I have a TV in my room so I turned it on. My room is very dark coz I turned the light off but the TV made the room a little bit brighter. I snuggled into my blanket and flicked through the channels to find a movie or something...
Riven POV
I was lying in the bed in the darkness and sighing. I wish I can fix everything. I wish Musa and I can just start over. I honestly don't like being friends, coz I want to be more than friends. But I understand that she doesn't love me anymore coz I hurt her. And if she does get over the fact that I broke up with her, then maybe she would give me a chance. Another chance to change and fix the broken part of our relationship... but I knew she would never give me another chance. I've already used up the last chance I had with her.
We've broken up plenty of times. But that one time, it was finally serious. And I never came back to her. And now we're nothing but friends. How great! Not. I want our current relationship to be more than it is, but it's impossible.
I looked around the room. I couldn't see anything coz the light was off. I sighed and closed my eyes. Suddenly, I heard an ear-splitting scream.
"AHH!"
I immediately sat up and my breathing was heavy. What the heck was that? But the voice...I recognize it.
"Oh no, Musa!" I shouted and quickly ran out of the room in the darkness. I bumped into the wall but then found the doorknob to Musa's room.
"Musa!" I shouted again.
"AHHHH!" Musa screamed when she looked at me. She was sat on the bed, safe and sound watching TV, but when she screamed, she fell off the bed. Now, why the heck did she SCREAM?
"Damn you Riven! You scared the hell out of me! Why are you here anyway?!" she snapped, while getting back on the bed. My breathing became normal again.
"I came here coz I heard you scream! And I got very worried that you might have gotten into trouble!" I growled. All of a sudden, Musa burst out laughing.
"Hey! Why are you laughing you brat?!" I scowled. She held her stomach while laughing.
"Coz...you..thought I was...in..trouble! I'm only watching...a h-h-horror film!" Musa said, in between laughs. I sighed in frustration.
"WHAT?! Argh...fine then. I'll go, but don't you dare scream again and make me worried just coz of a stupid horror film!" I growled and turned around to leave.
"But Riv, WAIT!" she yelled. I sighed again and turned around to face her, "What?!"
"Thanks for caring about me and willing to come here to make sure I'm alright" Musa smiled.
"Don't mention it" I grinned and touched the doorknob to close the door.
"Wait!" she said. I sighed in frustration again and looked at her.
"Well, umm...I really want to watch this horror film, but...uhh...I'm terrified of watching it"
"Then don't watch it" I said.
"But I really really want to watch it!" Musa said.
"Then watch it" I shrugged.
"But I told you, it's scary!" she frowned.
"Then don't watch it!" I snapped, I was getting very annoyed. Is this even the Musa I know?
"But I told you I want to watch it!"
"Ugh..." I groaned and face-palmed myself, "Make a decision then!"
"Well...uhh..I'm going to watch it, only if you stay here and watch it with me?" Musa smirked. I looked at her as if she's crazy.
"No!" I said and turned around to leave, and hopefully, I get to leave before she stops me. I was quite sleepy and I definitely didn't want to watch a stupid film.
"But Riven!" she shouted and ran after me. She touched my shoulder which made me turn around.
"Oh my god Muse, WHAT?!" I moaned. Musa gave me a pleading look.
"Please watch it with me, friend?"
I looked at her in the eyes and growled. "No"
"Pwease!" she begged, "Pwetty pwease!"
She gave me the puppy-dog eyes and she pouted! Oh god, I always fall for her when she gives me those adorable big eyes. "Oh Musa...please don't" I mumbled and turned my head away. Musa put her hands on her hips and looked at me.
"Fine!" I growled as she jumped up and gave me a big hug.
"Thanks! You're the best!" she grinned and dragged me into her room. I sat on a chair next to her bed as she sat on her bed.
"You can sit on my bed if you'd like" Musa suggested. I shook my head.
The movie was still at the beginning so I didn't miss a lot of the movie. But when Musa means it's scary, it's SCARY! Hell! It's the most scariest horror movie I've watched! And this is only the beginning!
I looked to Musa and she was shivering and covering half of her eyes with the blanket. I rolled my eyes and ignored the scary bits.
"Riven, come in here, now!" Musa snapped. I turned my head to her and she was motioning for me to lie down on the bed with her.
"Nu-uh" I shook my head, "I can't be that close to you"
Musa growled a bit before covering her eyes again.
"I know, I know, but it's not like we're going to do anything!"
I shook my head again.
"Just come here you jerk!" she shouted. I sighed and went over to the bed. She gave me some of her blanket and we carried on watching the horror film. It was really scary! Luckily Melody isn't here coz I think she would scream louder than Musa!
As the film went on, Musa kept on scooting closer, and closer and closer to me. I didn't really mind it when her body was practically touching mine. It ended up with her head resting on my chest while we were lying down. Musa kept on covering her eyes and screaming throughout the movie while I just watched it. It was really scary but I don't show much emotion. I ended up wrapping my arms around her while we watched it. The film lasted so long and I didn't even know what time it was!
"It's scary!" Musa whined and snuggled her face in my neck. She didn't seem to realise what she was doing the whole time! She kept on getting closer to me without realising it! I looked down at the beautiful girl in my arms. Her eyes were slowly closing and so was mine.
I was getting very sleepy and I kept on yawning. My eyes were half closed and I was really tired. Musa's eyes were already closed. She was sleeping peacefully, and before I knew it, my eyes closed too...
The next morning...
I woke up the next morning to find myself in...Musa's room?
"Ugh...what happened?" I whispered and tried to move a bit but then I saw a sleeping Musa in my arms. I looked down and stared at her beautiful face. That's when I remembered everything that happened last night! Okay, so we watched a horror film and fell asleep and I got too sleepy to even leave the room. Oh well!
Musa was sleeping peacefully and quietly that I didn't even feel like waking her up. I smiled as I touched her cheek and then her lips. I wish we can stay like this forever. I still love her, but I've got to leave, now!
I quickly kissed her forehead and moved slowly to stand up. And once I stood up, I crept quietly out of her room. I knew that I wouldn't be able to see her again. I just can't stand being friends with her, knowing that she is still the love of my life. And I promised myself not to see her again coz I know that every time I'm around her, she always cries at end, because of me. I hurt her far too many times and I don't want to do it again.
I collected my stuff and left the house..
4 weeks later...
Musa POV
It's been four weeks since I saw Riven. I miss him so much! I really do! But I guess we have to move on with our lives. The last time I saw Riven was when he stayed for the night. But the next morning, I couldn't find him. I think he just went without telling me...oh well!
I was on my way to Flora and Helia's house in Linphea. Melody is already in their house coz she came this morning but then I had to come back to work for a few hours to do some stuff. The Winx and Specialists are already there so I'm the only one who isn't there yet. I was about to open up the portal until I heard my phone ring. I took my phone out and realised that it was Stella.
"OMG! MUSA, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Stella screamed!
Hey guys! I hope you suggest some powers for Melody to do with music, or not, I wouldn't be able to update! Thanks for reading! Love you all and thanks for the reviews! Plz review!
