"How could anyone… anyone chose Huey over…over ME!?" Caesar asked himself, picking at a dread that hung above his shoulder. Maybe it was the afro… Huey did have a nice afro. He kept it nice… maybe it was his scowl. Maybe this mystery lady had a thing for angry people. He turned to look at the mirror on the wall and did his best attempt at a hard face, trying to imitate his best friend. He didn't look too good with a frown, Caesar decided. He tried his usual sly smile and felt his head bob up and down. Yep. Smiling was better on him.
Closing his eyes, he couldn't help but hear her sweet voice singing from the night before. God… she was so… perfect. So happy… so gentle and just so… Not RIGHT for Huey. Her shy behavior was like torture to him.
He wanted to bury himself deeper inside her than anyone else had, deep into her inner understandings and crack every bit of reserve she had.
Caesar soon realized the choice of words he had used and sighed deeply to himself in annoyance, 'Great! Now I have an erection…'
"Ceeze? Can… can I talk to you?"
"What?" Caesar muttered, glaring down cast.
"I know you didn't wanna come back here, but trust me, you need to talk to her,"
"I talked to her last night!" Caesar barked, "And all she cared about was you. She didn't wanna see me,"
That's when it hit Huey like a big pile of bricks with the word "DUH!" written on it.
"You weren't talking to Rose! You were talking to Jazmine,"
Caesar cocked his eyebrow in a Huey like fashion. And it is this author's opinion that even though Caesar's smile is one that is incompatible, his scowl did NOTHING to make him any less sexy. The popped eyebrow is quite delicious on the young Brooklyn native.
"You see, the girl you sang with is Rose," Huey explained carefully, "I thought I saw her yesterday, but that ended up being Jazmine, her cousin. They look… almost identical,"
"Fo real?"
"Yeah! I tried to get Jazmine's number but she just ran off! I think we had them switch or… why are you looking at me like that?"
"You," Caesar snickered, unable to fight the growing grin, "YOU, Huey Freeman, tried to hit up a broad for her digits!? Hahaha… No way,"
"Oh shut up!" Huey barked, "Look, she just ran off like I'd never met her before… even though I'm pretty sure Jazmine likes me…"
"Well how do we know if they're here now?"
"HUEY!"
Huey spun on his heels only to have himself getting attacked hug style by a very cheery Jazmine Dubois. She was now in a long flowy pink top with short white shorts. The girl right next to her was her double, only she was in a short white and orange dress. She smiled bashfully at Caesar who was staring at her quite obviously.
"See! Told you he liked you," Jazmine nudged her cousin teasingly.
"Jazmine!" Rose blushed deeply.
"Well he came back here twice lookin for ya!"
"Jazmine!" Rose buried her face into her cousin's shoulder, unable to look at the grinning Caesar.
Huey noticed Caesar giving him the eye, so he cleared his throat and took the hint, "Jazmine… uh… do you wanna dance… or…?"
"Of course!" Jazmine quipped, jumping forward and pulling him off to the dance floor. Lucky for Huey, it was slow song. Thank God.
Rose glanced up at Caesar, who was just smiling down at her. She blushed deeper, smiling despite herself and biting down hard on her lip.
"Hey," He told her gently, flashing a grin that made her wish she could melt in her forty dollar pumps.
"H-Hi…"
"Michael Caesar," He introduced himself, holding out his hand. She looked at him cautiously and took his hand with the upmost care and precaution, "Call Me Caesar,"
"Rose Lipshitz," She said sweetly. It was her voice that made Caesar wish that he could melt in his sixty dollar air force ones.
"Uh… I could use a dance partner…" He told her informatively, "And you seem to be missing yours,"
"I don't dance…" She informed him.
We
go back so far,
Swingin in your back yard,
All the things that
we used to do
We were cool back in high school
Ooh I really
liked you,
Must have been your attitude
"Yeah, just like you don't sing, right?" He teased, taking her hand and pulling her out to the dance floor. He pulled his arms completely around her back, resting his arms atop her rump… but not in a perverted way. Atleast, that's not how he, or she saw it.
That's
why you keep on runnin
In and out of my mind.
As the years
they'll roll by,
Baby, now I know why
I keep comin back to
you.
His heart started pounding when he felt her slim arms wrapping themselves around his shoulders, linking behind his neck. Caesar lead her, their hips swaying gently to the slow rhythm and sweet lyrics.
You're
the only one that knows me,
Love it when you hold me,
Never
find a love like this.
Let me hear you say,
Now I'll never be
lonely,
Look at what you've shown me,
Never find a love like
this
She slowly started warming up to him, her eyes never leaving his, only blinking when she felt her blue orbs start getting hot and dry to the point of desperation.
Caesar was totally lost in those blue oceans of hers.
All
the guys tried to take me,
You're the one who saved me,
I
feel like I owe you my life.
And as strange as it may seem,
I'll
go if you take me
Home and lent to sacrifice.
Suddenly, as if something other than Caesar was in control of his body, he felt his eyes slit shut, and his face lean in to capture the girl in a soft kiss. Rose was not expecting such a bold move but the gentleness of his lips mixed with the euphoric melodies around her, caused her to react and push back up on his lips, kissing him back just as gently as he kissed her.
That's
why you keep on runnin
In and out of my mind.
As the years,
they'll roll by,
It's not hard to know why
I keep comin
back to you.
When the kiss broke after just a moment, Caesar looked down at her, her blue eyes slowly revealing themselves. She smiled shyly at him and he instantly decided that her smile was perfect. She placed her face on his shoulder and let the music carry her wherever he was willing to go.
Emotionally meaning. You pervs.
You're
the only one that knows me,
Love it when you hold me,
Never
find a love like this.
OoOOOoOOoOOooOooOooOoO
