Hey, sorry for the long wait. Again with the damnation of school for getting in the way of my writing. ;)
Character: Vanessa
Scene: Book One. Vanessa and Michael finally hook up. They are on one of their first dates.
Song: The Perfect Drug by Nine Inch Nails written and pretty much done by Trent. (drool)
Michael reached across the candle-lit table and gently held Vanessa's hand. "Oh my God!" Vanessa thought to herself while smiling uncontrollably, "Michael is absolutely perfect! I can't believe I am on a date with him. I always wanted this to happen, and now it finally has!" Vanessa was snapped out of her reverie when an all-too-familiar feeling crept up her arm.
"Oh no. Not now, please not now." She pleaded with herself. "I cannot fall apart now, everything was going to well."
I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
She quickly pulled her hand away and tucked it under the table. "Are you feeling okay, Vanessa?" Michael asked with concern on his face.
"Maybe I should tell him I am sick and need to go home right away." Vanessa thought, trying to calm her frizzing atoms. "But I really don't want to go home…"
I got my heart but my heart is no good
And you're the only one that's understood
But then he smiled at her and her nerves relaxed. "Come on." He said and helped her out of the table. "I want to show you something." He paid the check and they headed outside.
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're reaching back and shaking me
He took her to the shore line, insisting that he wanted to show her something wonderful. Vanessa knew it was safe for them to be out at night, for all the stars were out and it was a full moon. Unfortunately, it was just a little too light for her tastes, Vanessa wanted this to be the most romantic night of her life.
Turn off the sun
Pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you
The more I die.
They finally reached their destination. Vanessa gasped at its beauty. They were one a grassy edifice overlooking the lapping ocean bay. The ocean reflected the stars, blending the known reality. Michael pulled Vanessa down in front of him, and together they sat, taking in the view.
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
Michael arms wrapped around Vanessa and nuzzled her neck, planting soft kisses. Vanessa's attention snapped back to her situation and she noticed that her fingers were disappearing. She needed to break the moment; this perfect moment she was waiting for since Michael had asked her out. "If only he didn't make me loose control!" she thought.
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
Vanessa sat bolt upright when her wrist became fuzzy. "What's wrong?" Michael asked, obviously worried he had done something. "No, it's nothing. I just remembered I have a report due tomorrow in Astronomy. I really need to go." She grabbed her purse and took a step away from him. But she was caught.
"Michael, let go please." Vanessa begged him, twisting her arm from him.
"Vanessa, can't you just blow it off, please. I thought we were having fun." Michael sounded genuinely hurt, which wasn't helping the situation.
"We were, but I just…" Vanessa trailed off as she was being pulled into a locking embrace.
"Just stay a little longer." Michael's arms were affectionatly wrapped around her torso.
You make me hard, when I'm all soft inside
I see the truth when I'm all stupid eyed
Suddenly, Michael turned Vanessa to face him. His face was shone with something Vanessa had never seen before and couldn't quite place. He lowered his head, his lips hovering just over hers. Vanessa's heart leapt with anticipation.
Your arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart
Vanessa closed her fluttering eyes and stood on her toes, kissing Michael like he had never been kissed before.
My blood wants to say hello to you
My feelings want to get inside of you
Realizing what she had done, Vanessa jumped back. "I'm sorry," she began. Michael let go of her and she walked away from him, hiding her invisible hand from his view.
"Don't be sorry if you really wanted it." He said, walking up to her. "Vanessa, I…" He trailed off, not able to find the right words.
Vanessa had an urge then to tell him everything. She wanted to tell him who she really was and why she acted so awkward around him sometimes. "But I can't" she thought sadly. "I just can't."
My soul is so afraid to realize
How very little of me is left of me
Vanessa heard Michael sigh. "Do you want me to take you home?" He asked politely.
Vanessa looked at her hand, and was delighted to see it was fully there. "No, I can stay for a little longer, if you like." She teased, giving him a playful look.
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
"Even if he does make me loose control of my powers, I just cannot resist him." Vanessa confessed to herself. "I will just have to deal."
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
"I have never felt this way before." She confessed out loud to him, his hold on her tightened as he moved closer to her.
"Neither have I."
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
"Are you sure you're okay? You worried me a little with the--" Michael began
"I'm fine, I just was a little nervous." She replied.
Michael gave a laugh, and Vanessa followed suit.
Without you everything falls apart
Without you it's not so much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you everything falls apart
Without you it's not so much fun to pick up the pieces
~*~That's the end of it. Again with the apologies for not posting earlier. My next one is suppose to be Derrek, but I have no song for him. If anyone has any suggestions, I will really appreciate it. Thanks! Hope you like it.
