Chapter 16 You Sort Of Surprised Me

Nick

Writing this song seemed to be endless. Damn, I so wanted to surprise Delilah with Stella's plan and a perfect song already but it just didn't work out. Stupid song. Stupid situation. Stupid pressure. Stupid everything. Ugh.

When I went to school I was pretty depressed because of my own failure.

Okay, that sounded overly dramatic. Sorry, I was just... I don't know. It was a weird feeling to walk in there and tell Delilah about Stella's idea especially because I couldn't get that conversation I had with Kevin the night before out of my head.

I try to clean my thoughts a bit when I saw Delilah waiting for me at my locker already, looking adorable and mostly hot. Gosh, I think I'm a bit too physically attracted to her lately. Okay, Nick, take a deep breath and think of something disgusting like.... like.... huge oversized grandma panties.

Hmm, I'm sure Delilah would even look sexy in those. OH MY GOD! Okay, that's obviously not working. Well everything was pretty confusing anyway, not just because the song wasn't finished yet. Oh no, there was something else bothering me everytime I thought of Delilah.

Everything started last night.

I had been working on the song for ages and when I had gone to bed, the first thing I saw in my dreaming was Delilah and me. Nothing else. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her while she was walking towards me and wrapping her arms around my neck the way she always does. I automatically started to kiss her but this seemed to turn into something more intense than just kissing. You know, I just had that feeling when she took my shirt off. Not that that could lead to anything. And guess what? I was dumb enough to say: "We shouldn't do this I guess..."

Gosh, I so wanted to "this" but my brain was refusing a bit, probably because we haven't been dating for even a week. Well, Delilah wasn't that dumb at least. I guess that's why she whispered in my ear:

"Well, think about it, there are loads of things we shouldn't do. We shouldn't even be dating, Nick.

I think we've already broken so many rules, it won't be that much worse if we break another one."

And that was the point when my brain was finally shut down and I pushed her against the wall that magically appeared from one second to the next.

Everything happened pretty quick especially since I woke up a few seconds after the dream had begun to become intense. All I saw was tons of kissing and Delilah wearing nothing but a bra and a really short skirt. I just wasn't able to imagine her completely naked I suppose. Well, okay we had started a little so I heard a little moaning but that was all.

Stupid alarm clock. Or was it better that I didn't dream that dream until the end?

We'll never know.

When Delilah saw me I was still so caught in my dream that I put my hands on her waist and pushed her against my locker before I kissed her deeply but her open eyes irritated me.

They finally made me realize that this wasn't the dream but school! And they reminded me of the uncomfortable fact that we wanted to keep all this a secret, because of all the pain I seemed to see in her eyes. I released her immediately and fell into a nervous giggling when I noticed that the whole school was staring at us. Being pushed against a locker seems to be pretty noisy.

"W-w-we're just practising for....for....for the new JONAS music video, right Nick?"

"Haha, err yeah, exactly. Delilah's going to be a.... groupie."

She looked at me evilly so she obviously disliked the idea of being a slutty groupie in the next video.

"Err...or something like that. We're not sure yet. But we know for a fact that there will be a kissing scene between us in it."

Okay, that saved the situation. Everybody was going back to their own business and I could finally tell Delilah the happy news. Well, I wanted to at least but she was the first one to start talking again:

"I...I kind of wrote you...a song."

Now this was not what I expected her to say.

"Oh err...well that's....wow. I was actually planning to write you one but I just couldn't finish it yesterday."

"Aww, it's okay." She smiled shyly.

"Err so... can I hear it?"

She didn't seem to be happy about that question.

"Oh well... okay. But the what I'm singing about in it is not....realistic. It's a bit over the top but I couldn't think of anything better and -"

"Wow wow wow, hold on, okay? Let me just hear it before I judge." I smiled.

She nodded.

"Well...can I borrow your guitar for a second?" and her beautiful smile was back.

"Haha, sure. So... I'm ready. You're the first girl who ever wrote a song for me by the way."

"Wohoo, I'm special." she said. I love the way her voice sounds when she's sarcastic.

We sat down on a bench and I watched her getting used to my guitar. She obviously was nervous what actually surprised me since she's usually singing in front of thousands of people at the same time. She took a deep breath before she started.

"Okay...so....this is 'Church of Elvis':

When we're together everything feels so right

When you hold my hand it seems like I start to shine.

Don't really know what this is but I love this feeling

You're always by my side and my soul is healing

Our time together seems like heaven on earth to me

Make it last forever, do me that single favor

Never let me down, always stay around, let's just waste our time together

Let's hold on, let's stay strong so maybe one day I'm...

Gonna marry you in the Church Of Elvis. (in the church of Elvis, yeaheah..)

Guess what I'm sure we're gonna have some fun today

Just like we used to have on every single date

Don't really know why but with you everything feels alright

I don't get how I was able to live without you before

Our time together seems like heaven on earth to me

Make it last forever, do me that single favor

Never let me down, always stay around, let's just waste our time together

Let's hold on, let's stay strong so maybe one day I'm...

Gonna marry you in the Church Of Elvis. (in the church of Elvis, yeaheah..)

Can you see those purple lights? I think we're really close now

To where we wanted to go to make it all official.

I ain't want no horse-drawn carriage or a romantic castle

All I want is to be right there with you in the Church Of Elvis."

When she whispered the chorus in the end I was about to melt.

"Wow..."

"Oh my God, I knew those lyrics are too much. I really..."

"Delilah, stop that, okay? That was a positive 'wow'. You're behaving like a little drama queen today." I laughed. "By the way, there's something I wanted to tell you. Stella suggested that maybe you could record a song with JONAS."

"Oh, sure. That would be awesome."

"Yeah and... you know she considered that we two could record a duet together, a love song, and that your management may like the idea of us having a real relationship for promotion."

Her eyes started to shine.

"Oh my....that could work! Ah, that would be so freaking amazing! We could go and tell them together right after school if you don't mind."

"Haha how I could I mind? There's nothing I want more than that we have a normal relationship."

Today's lessons didn't seem to find an end. Neither for me nor for Delilah since she turned around quite often so we could smile at each other. Unfortunately she got caught by Mr Lansburry who proofed that with the amazingly sweet words: "Miss Stevens, I'd be really glad if you could stop glancing at Mr Lucas during my lesson, alright?"

"I'll try my best." she answered in a bitter sweet tone which cracked everybody up somehow.

When the bell finally dared to ring we were out the door as soon as we could.

Delilah had called her management and her record label in one of the breaks and we arrived at the huge plazza of the recording studio after a half an hour drive.

Delilah led me to a bright, white room with about a dozen of guys in grey or black suits where sitting around a fenoumenous white table.

Basically all we did was telling them about our – or actually Stella's – idea and, oh well they liked it. But there was a catch, of course. They did want us to be together when our duet would come out but they were planning to release it after Delilah had done their "date-a-regular-ordinary-high-school-jerk-thing". She was obviously speechless.

"Err...okay. Excuse me please, the meeting is over. We guys will talk again in 2 hours. Alone." she said. "Come on Nick, let's leave those brainless jerks alone."

I was pretty sure that she'd call them bastards like she loved to do but she didn't what sort of disappointed me. Instead she only told me how much she hated them on our way through the hallway of the huge building.

"Gosh I could kill them all! They don't care about the fact that I'm a person, too! All they see is Delilah Stevens, the superstar who brings us tons of money. Maybe I should shock them a bit with something like... I don't know...err... sex in a public toilet or some shit like that."

That was the point when I glanced at her like a weirdo because it made me think about the dream I had the night before again. She looked around and realized that nobody was in the hallway besides us at the moment. She left me standing all alone just to grab my hand a few seconds later and pulled me into the women's restroom which was completely unused also. It took me a while until I got her plan.

"Come on, Delilah. You're not really serious, you're just mad. I don't want you to regret anything when you've clamed down again."

"I won't regret anything, baby." she said while taking my shirt off. "There's nothing left to loose I suppose."

Okay, to be honest I was so turned on already but I was afraid to show it. She noticed it anyway I think

"I...err..well I just don't want you do something st....ah, whatever."

And if you watched really good you saw the moment my brain shut itself down and everything I thought about was strictly physical. I pushed her against the wall and started to kiss her neck before her shirt had been taken off, too and everything turned into the 'sex in a public toilet shocker' she had mentioned before.
