Her house loomed above them. It really wasn't a house when one thought about it. It was more like one of the many apartment buildings that decorated the small island of Japan.
He looked over to her, his eyes somewhat calm now, the color of an ocean after a rough storm. Her entire being was being reflected within the beautiful orbs and slowly she looked over, offering him a sweet yet simple smile. He felt his heart throb roughly in his chest as it tried desperately to escape.
"Here's my house" Her melodic voice echoed in his ears, and he blinked slowly, finally looking away from her and back up to the building.
"This entire place is your house?" He said in slight bewilderment.
She giggled slightly and smiled broadly, "No Silly. We only own a floor"
"Oh." Was all he managed to squeak out of his lips before she took his hand and led him up the steps and inside the building.
Once inside, Matt looked around and blinked slowly, admiring the beauty of the place. Regal furniture decorated a portion of the large space, and people sat there drinking what he assumed was coffee as they read thick books. He felt greatly out of place as he glanced at the fancy outfits most of them wore and there he stood, dressed in baggy back jeans, a pair of black and white low-top converse shoes and a which shirt with a black button up over it, which had been left unbuttoned.
Mimi smiled, "Come on, we'll take the elevator up to my floor." She gently led him over to the golden elevator doors and she pushed one of the buttons, instantly lighting it up. He felt his cheeks turning a bit red as he stood there with her, but he looked down to hide it, his hair falling forward slightly to help him out.
The doors opened and they walked in and the doors then closed slowly. Mimi touched another button, telling the elevator to go to the 23rd floor. Matt licked his now dry lips nervously as Mimi swayed back and forth slightly as they awaited the elevator to get to her floor. The cheesy elevator music echoed in his mind and he swallowed hard. It felt like his body was drying out, and it was driving him insane. He looked back down to his shoes, cracking his knuckles nervously.
She glanced over to him and raised a brow, "Something the matter Yama?" She asked in a sweet voice.
He blinked, suddenly snapping out of his daze and he looked at her with those hypnotizing eyes, "No. Nothings wrong." He offered her a small smile.
She returned the smile as a dinging sound was heard and the doors slowly opened, "Here we are" She said gleefully, pulling him into the small hall and pulling a key out of her pocket. She put it in the lock and opened the door, revealing the lavish and exquisite home she resided in.
"Wow…" He mumbled as they walked in and he looked around. It was huge.
She giggled, "Pretty big huh?"
"Yeah..." He nodded, walking in and looking around after he had removed his cons which now rested next to her little pink shoes.
"So…" She paused for a moment and looked to him, "Can you sing for me now?"
He looked down to her, remembering why he was here, "Yeah Mims… I can sing for you now."
She smiled and picked up his guitar case and carried it over to a large room and she sat it down before her as she slumped onto the couch.
He slowly followed her, kneeling down before her and getting out his guitar. He tuned it for a moment then sat in the chair across from her, looking deeply into her crimson eyes before taking a deep breath and slowly beginning to play a melodic tune.
She listened intently, her eyes staring at him, taking in every little thing he did.
Slowly he began singing, he voice echoing in her ears and mind, "Close your eyes And I will be swimming Lullabies fill your room And I will be singing, Singing to only you Don't forget I'll hold your head Watch the night sky fading red… But as you sleep And no one is listening I will lift you off your feet And keep you from sinking Don't you wake up yet Cause soon I'll be leaving you, But you won't be leaving me.. In the car The radio leaves me searching for your star A constellation of frustration Driving Hard Singing my thoughts back to me Like watching heartache on TV But as you sleep And no one is listening I will lift you off your feet And keep you from sinking Don't you wake up yet Cause soon I'll be leaving you But you won't be leaving me Singing my thoughts back to me Like watching heartache on TV But as you sleep And no one is listening I will lift you off your feet And keep you from sinking Don't you wake up yet Cause soon I'll be leaving you Soon I'll be leaving you…But you won't be leaving me…" He finished slowly, looking to Mimi to see her staring at him with tears in her eyes.
"Matt… that was so beautiful." She stood up and walked over to him, standing before him.
He slowly removed his guitar strap from his shoulder, setting it down as he looked deeply into her eyes. Slowly she walked closer and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as he shut his eyes, taking in the moment, "I love you Mimi."
A smile played itself across her lips and she looked up at him as he slowly opened his eyes to look to her, "I've been waiting years for you to tell me that."
