Chapter 4: {Kay and Miguel}
~*~ Late at night, when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you ~*~
Kay was sitting on the window sill in her barely lit bedroom, with only the moon to
accompany her thoughts. It was 1:00 am. Kay couldn't sleep. Thoughts of a certain man
she loved was clouding up her mind, refusing to let her go to sleep. Not like she minded.
She could spend forever dreaming about Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald.
~*~And I wish on a star that, somewhere, you are
Thinking of me, too ~*~
Looking outside to the dark night, Kay's eyes fell on a certain shiny star traveling
through the sky. Kay wasn't a very superstitious person and usually didn't believe that
wishing upon a star would bring you whatever you wanted. But this time around, maybe it
was the mood that made her close her eyes tightly and pray with all her might that her wish
would come true. That her best friend Miguel was thinking of her at this exact moment the
way she was of him.
~*~ 'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me ~*~
Kay smiled contentedly to herself once she opened her eyes. Her thoughts weaved
into a fantasy of her and Miguel sharing a sweet kiss on the beach. He was stroking her
hair. They were lying down on the sand by the shore, letting the cool water tickle through
their bodies. Just then Miguel scooped her up, and she instantly began to thrash about,
because she knew full well what he was about to do.
Nearing seaside, Miguel dropped Kay into the water, just as she continued to
scream and shout half-willed protests of "No, please, Miguel hahah."
"I'm soaking wet thanks to you!" she complained.
Miguel made his way into the water himself, coming close enough to wrap her
around his arms. He gave her a quick peck, liking the salt he tasted on her lips. They fell
into the water together, splashing around and having fun.
Kay sighed happily to herself once that reverie ended. Dreaming about being in
love with Miguel was one of Kay's favorite pasttimes. She could almost feel his kisses and
touches. They were so real for something that was make-believe.
~*~ Wonder if you ever see me, and I
Wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes, would you see what's inside?
Would you even care? ~*~
Sometime later that night, Kay finally managed to fall asleep, her last daydream
pleasing her enough to retire for the evening.
The next day, Miguel was giving Kay a drive to school. He came over just when
Kay was finishing her breakfast.
One look at Miguel and Kay wondered how much of the front she was putting up
about not loving Miguel romantically were people buying? Couldn't they see the love she
felt for him? Couldn't he? After all, they had known each other long enough to realize
things like that. I wonder what he would think if he knew about the feelings I have for him,
Kay thought to herself. If he really looked into my soul, would he notice the love I feel for
him?
~*~ I just wanna hold you close; but, so far
All I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you
Yes, I do ~*~
In the car, Kay was trying her best to build up the courage inside of her to tell
Miguel how she felt about him. She knew the courage was there, but she was afraid of the
consequences she might have to suffer through.
She stared at Miguel, who continued to drive the car towards Harmony High
School. Taking a deep breath, Kay opened her mouth, the words slowly forming on her
mouth, just waiting to be uttered......
~*~ I'll be dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me ~*~
"Miguel, I love you," Kay said out of the blue, breaking the silence between them.
Miguel didn't reply and his facial expressions did not change much as his eyes
were still transfixed on the road in front of him. Kay knew that keeping quiet was the only
way Miguel reacted to surprises. He absorbed thoughts in his mind before showcasing
them to others. But still. She had just told him all of her heart's desire and his response
was to keep quiet.
Kay looked away, automatically regretting having said what she did. She looked
out the window, where she envisioned Miguel dreaming about her the way she had been
dreaming about him for the past how many nights? Too many to count, that's for sure. Kay
desperately prayed that her wish from last night was coming true, and that this was a sign.
~*~ Ah, ah
(Corazón)
I can't stop dreaming of you
(No puedo dejar de pensar en ti)
I can't stop dreaming
(Cómo te necesito)
I can't stop dreaming of you
(Mi amor, cómo te extraño) ~*~
The silence still ensued between them. Kay wanted to scream; she hated this
awkward moment between her and Miguel.
They finally arrived in the high school's parking lot. Kay took off her seat belt,
ready to exit the vehicle and go her separate way, her relationship with Miguel probably
never being the same again.
Miguel's arm stopped her right before she opened the door on the passenger side.
"Wait, Kay," he said, looking into her cerulean eyes. So enchanting. So full of love.
How come he hadn't seen it before?
~*~ Late at night, when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you."
I love you, too ~*~
"What is it, Miguel? Hurry up. We're going to be late!" Kay scoffed impatiently.
She could care less if she was tardy or not but she didn't want another moment of this
awkwardness between the two of them.
He released his grip on her, but his gaze never left hers.
"I just wanted to say I love you, too," he answered, nodding his head to prove it.
Kay was taken aback. She couldn't believe it! The only thing she expected was
acknowledgement - not for him to profess his love for her back! She sighed happily as she
smiled up at him in merriment.
~*~ Now, I'm dreaming with you tonight
'Til tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly ~*~
A new thought entered her mind, which quickly erased the grin that had been
lighting up her face.
"Maybe you misunderstood me, Miguel," Kay said, her shoulders slumping at the
thought, "but what I meant to say was that I'm IN love with you."
She frowned sadly, expecting him to nod and say that he HAD misunderstood her.
She looked at him briefly, pain shadowing her eyes, before she turned her gaze elsewhere.
"Maybe you misunderstood ME, Kay," Miguel replied, grinning at the thought of
how Kay's face would light up once he finished his sentence, "because I agree, I am IN
love with you, too!"
~*~ Dreaming with you tonight
(With you tonight)
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
(Rather be)
Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly
(I'll be dreaming) ~*~
Kay's head quickly turned at the mention of Miguel's words. He loved her? The
way she loved him? She looked into his eyes, hoping for a sign to prove that yes, Miguel
Lopez-Fitzgerald was in love with Kathleen Elizabeth Bennett. She detected a glint in his
eyes; one that she had never seen before.
Kay's face slowly but surely contorted into a smile, her lips curved upward in utter
exhilaration. He loved her. He did!
~*~ Dreaming
(Of you tonight)
Endlessly
(And I'll be holding you tight tonight)
Dreaming
(Dreaming)
Endlessly
(With you tonight) ~*~
The tardy bell rang loudly from where they were in the parking lot, but they didn't
care.
Miguel gently ran his fingers through Kay's hair.
"Am I dreaming, Miguel?" Kay asked. "Pinch me!"
"How about I kiss you instead?" he suggested as he brought his lips closer to hers.
"I've been dreaming about you," Kay informed him once they broke away from
their liplock.
"Really?" he asked, leaning back in his seat. "Because yesterday I dreamt about a
tall, beautiful brunnette who played softball with me and was my best friend. But in my
dream, you weren't my best friend. I was looking at a woman I loved. Waking up from that
dream, Kay," Miguel said, looking at her, "and I realized that I loved you. And in more
than just a friendly way."
~*~ Endlessly
Endlessly
Dreaming ~*~
"Oh, Miguel!" Kay said happily, throwing her arms around him in happiness. "This
is great, especially since I've been dreaming about you, too!"
"Oh really?" he asked. "Tell me what happens in these dreams of yours."
"Well, there is one where we are at the beach on the sand and..."
Before Kay could finish, Miguel put the car on reverse.
"Where are we going?" Kay asked him.
"To the beach....."
