"SURPRISE!" everyone called as they jumped from their hiding places. Alyssa soon felt tears in her eyes. Not from sadness, from happiness. A big great banner was posted on the wall reading 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'. "Happy birthday!"
Alyssa stood in front of her big chocolate cake as everyone sung happy birthday. After the song she blew out all her candles, making a wish. "Whadya wish for?" Candy asked, elbowing her playfully.
"It's a secret," she remarked.
Her bigger brother Jacob started playing some music on the stereo. All of the people started talking, eating cake, or watching Alyssa open her presents.
"How old is she?" James asked Candy.
"About, like, almost seventeen," Candy responded. Both of them started walking around, talking. Just then a love song popped up on the radio.
"I love this song!" Alice cheered. She grabbed her kareoke machine and plugged it into an outlet. Everyone guessed she was going to sing along.
"Say, Alyssa," Jacob called. He rushed to Alyssa and grabbed her by the wrist. "Everyone likes THIS song.. you don't spend time with me, anymore. So let's dance. Happy birthday, sis."
Alyssa blushed and took Jacob's hand. The song on the radio seemed to be Dido's "Here with Me", Candy and James's most favorite song ever.
James was thinking for a moment then he grabbed Candy's wrist and asked, "You know, I kinda like this song too. It's very nice and soft.. shall we dance?"
Candy felt herself turn red as a tomato as James gave out his greatest smile yet. She felt goosebumps form on her body and her blood somewhat boil. She felt good.. almost relieved. This had to be the greatest time of her life. And the hardest question to answer.
"Oh James," she said, embarrassed. She blushed some more and turned her head away. "Yes.." she whispered quite softly. She turned her head back to James and smiled. James smiled back.
While the love birds got ready to dance, Alice was busy singing along with the song. Not only did she like the song but she was an awesome singer.. Alice almost sounded like Dido.
* I didn't hear you leave
* I wonder how am I still here
* I don't want to move a thing
Candy felt her friends' eyes on her back as James took her in his warm fur. Her friends were silently sheering for her. "Go Candy! You're the woman!" they whispered softly. Candy smiled.
* It might change my memory
* Oh I am what I am
* I'll do what I want
"James, this is such a surprise," she whispered into James's ear.
"I know, I know, I've been wanting to do this all my life. I wanted you to dance with me. I should've expressed myself better AND sooner," James whispered back sadly.
"Oh James," Candy giggled.
* But I can't hide
* I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
* Until you're resting here with me
They continued to dance some more as Alice sang out the beautiful lyrics. James looked into Candy's eyes. "It's about time I tell you the truth," he sighed. "Candy... I.. I.."
* I won't leave, I can't hide
* I cannot be
* Until you're resting here with me
"You? You?"
"Candy.. I love you."
* I don't want to call my friends
* They might wake me from this dream
* And I can't leave this bed, risk forgetting all that's been
Candy blushed badly. She gave out a secret smile. "Oh James. It's about time I be honest too. I love you, James. I always did. I should've expressed myself sooner, also."
* Oh I am what I am
* I'll do what I want
* But I can't hide
Candy tried to hold back her tears of joy. Being with James is the number one thing she's wished for in her life. From childhood to now, she had a deep crush on him.
Maybe wishes DO come true.
* I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
* Until you're resting here with me
* I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
At that moment, the doors slammed open and everyone's eyes but James and Candy went to Brandon. They were too busy dancing. Brandon was breathing heavily and he was soaked. Was it raining?
* Until you're resting here with me
'Candy? She's dancing with AND kissing what's his face! I can't let this happen,' Brandon thought angrily and sadly as he saw both James and Candy kissing blissfully. 'Mammals.. can't stand them.'
