Once upon a lullaby chapter23
"ILL KILL YOU!!!" I heard Kyo scream from downstairs. OMG can't a girl sleep for just like 1 hour extra than usual. I covered my ears with my pillows to try and muffle the sounds but the yells still seemed to reach me. I angrily threw the pillow at the door and jumped out of bed. 8 o clock in the morning, great it's a Sunday too. I pulled open the wardrobe and grabbed a purple dress, it didn't matter which dress I was too much in a bad mood to notice. Looking at the calendar I groaned when I saw the date... the 21st of June. What's so bad about the 21st of June? It's my birthday, officially 17 today; great just great. Slipping on the purple dress I realised which one I had pulled out; it's the dress which I never thought I would wear. It's deep purple, strapless and the top looks like a corset. A dark purple ribbon kept it together and the skirt was a bit on the poofy side. When Kashu gave me it I thought it was very slutty and I wouldn't wear it... but with it on now it actually looks pretty. I pulled out the purple pumps to go with it and left them by the door in case I decided to go out. I combed my hair and decided to leave it out, I don't usually leave it out and it feels weird without anything in so I stuck a purple bow clip in my hair.
Walking down the stairs I heard a crash bang and a thud and Kyo flying threw an object came into my mind. Pushing open the door, I saw what I feared; Kyo in the middle of a broken in half table. Yuki was snickering and I could see kyo's twitch go more and more malignant. "Hey?!" I called hands on my hips, I was all ready to make them pay for waking me up so early but I don't think they would have listened. Yuki was staring at me and when Kyo noticed this he looked to see what was up... Well they were more staring at my dress than me. Ok I admit that this dress is rather tight but no need to gawp. "HEY!" When I yelled their faces abruptly went to my face, good. "Now what's the need for making so much noise this time of the morning?" I asked. They looked away; both of them had flaming red cheeks and wouldn't look me in the eye.
"Very sorry nami, from now on we will try to keep the noise down." Yukis face flushed. "Where did you get the dress?"
"From Kashu. Don't you like it? Aahhh well ill go change it then." I smiled turning round when...
"No!" Kyo yelled standing up. "I mean it looks nice so why would you want to change it." Kyo's face was almost a deeper shade of red than his hair! I smiled; I was worried that they wouldn't. I really do respect their opinion alot.
"Nami you look stunning." Shigure came twirling past me. "That dress compliments your eyes and your hips... they are very nice hips by the way." He winked, what he was saying was perverted but I couldn't help myself from blushing anyway. Then I felt something push against my stomach; looking down there was a red package being thrust at me from shigure. "Happy 17th birthday nami." He grinned.
"WHAT!" me, Kyo and yuki yelled. I was the one who finished off the sentence. "How did you know I didn't tell anybody?"
"Well I saw it on your calendar." He grinned. "Now open it open it." He pestered. I sat down on a cushion and quickly unshelled the package. Oh... wow! Inside was an amazing dress I had ever saw... it was baby pink around the chest area and skirt and a white corset thing that goes over the stomach area. It was the exact right size and there was pink heels to match.
"I surprised they would even let you in a clothes store," Yuki spoke, but he couldn't say it sarcastically because they were imagining her in it.
"It's amazing shigure thank you." I spoke quietly. "It's so beautiful." I couldn't take my eyes off it; I can't believe that shigure has such an amazing taste in clothes. "Oh yeah I'm going out with jessu later is that ok?" I asked finally looking away from the dress. "I got 10,000 yen off my family and we are going on a shopping splurge."
"Sure have fun." Shigure smiled.
"Omg! You must buy this." Jessu grinned placing another item off clothing on top of the huge pile already forming. Jessu was carrying 7 bags and me 12. Shopping with jessu is always fun but we always seem to buy stuff we don't need example today; we decided to buy stuff to go with different colours, red, blue, white and mauve? (Don't ask)But we were at my favourite shop so I was guaranteed to find something nice here.
After wards we went into a cafe and enjoyed the annual triple chocolate chip cookie tray that contained 20 cookies. Alot of cookies for two girls but we had the rest of the year to burn off the calories. "So nami what did you get off the Sohmas?" Jessu asked halfway through her third cookie.
"An amazing dress off shigure, I didn't tell yuki or Kyo that it was my birthday." I smiled picking up my second.
"Omg, look who is walking over; Ryu from class 2d. Omg I could fry eggs on him." Jessu leaned in towards me. She was right; with charcoal grey eyes, light brown hair that seemed to fall in the exactly right places, his voice which made me want to melt, and his bracelet seemed to always look so right on his muscular arm. She was right he is HOT!
"I'd eat those eggs." I giggled. I saw him standing up and he walked right towards our table.
"It looks like somebody in purple will be eating those eggs; you lucky thing." She winked. I felt my cheeks go red. No, no, no, no my cheeks can't go red now of all times.
"You hungry?" He smiled and laughed pointing at the tray of cookies. I couldn't speak I'm just so overwhelmed by his godliness. "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me sometime." He asked me. I felt my heart explode. I couldn't speak so I nodded, he smiled and I heard jessu whisper screaming 'yes!' "Great well here is my number ill ring sometime." He placed down the piece of paper before walking outside. Jessu quickly grabbed the piece of paper.
"OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG! Ryu kuronuma asked you out on a date. OMG!" She whispered to avoid nasty looks. "You are so lucky," She hugged me. I blushed and reached for a cookie.
"To the best birthday ever." I laughed and took a bite. Jessu is right... I AM SO LUCKY!
"Are you ok walking home with me like this?" I asked. She nodded; she knows something... but what? We walked down the road jessu babbling like crazy but I could only concentrate on Ryu. The way his cheeks lit up in the light, the way his mouth moved so delicately. Girls would die for a chance to go out with him I'm still overwhelmed and it been 5 whole hours since he asked me. We walked down the road until I saw the house, none of the lights were on and it was completely silent... what's going on? We ran towards the house and slowly pushed open the door... then bam!
"Surprise!" Everybody cheered. The lights blinded me and streamers fell into my hair, everybody stood behind tables, chairs, doorframes etc. Kyo, yuki, shigure, hatori, momiji, Haru, Kisa, Hiro, Kagura, Shishou, Kashu, kida, ayame, hana and uo filled the room. A pile of presents sat on the table and balloons, streamers and banners decorated the walls. Is this for me? Kisa ran over and hugged me, then hana, uo, kida and Kashu ran over to say happy birthday. This is too good to be true. After constant cheers and hugs from the girls I was forced to open presents. A cat teddy, bag and pillow from Kagura, Cookies of momiji, a bracelet of hatori and Haru, a bunch of flowers off Shishou, another dress off ayame... I wonder if shigure got his off ayame. A music making device for a laptop off Kashu and then a laptop off kida (also half payed for by Kashu) uo and hana got me a charm bracelet and necklace and off Hiro and Kisa I got a Chinese tea set. After placing my phone and bags on the side we all went out to eat.
Yuki and Kyo waited behind to take all the presents upstairs they were going to follow later. Suddenly Namis phone started to buzz with the latest tune off Kashu; you gonna catch me or not? Yuki left it to go onto the answer machine. Kyo came out carrying a handful of presents. "Hi nami it's me Ryu, thanks for accepting earlier I was thrilled ive like you for ages you see. Anyway putting that aside do you want to go to see a movie next week, ill pay? See you soon. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep." Then the phone clicked off. Not knowing what to do and clearly in shock Kyo and yuki just stood there thinking. Nami has a boyfriend WHAT!?
Another cliff-hanger, jessu is going to hate me. Ha-ha thank you for the help jessu and see you soon. Xoxoxox
