To the reviewer named Jo, thank you for reading =) So, do you think that Cameron will call Lindsay? What characters will you, as readers, now meet? What about Lindsay's feelings for Damian? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Will you review it anyway? (I will give you a hint to the last one, yes! Please!). More chapters to come, if you have any idea's of where I should go with this story, all ideas welcome!
Dear Diary,
Today a group of us went over to Samuel's house for swimming. He told us last night to bring our bathing suits to school with us because afterwards we would be going to his place for swimming and hanging. Since I always like to do everything, I said yes and so did Marissa, Damian, and Puck.
Once school was over we met by Damian's locker, again, and walked over to where Ole Red was parked. After a few seconds thought we noticed that not all of us could fit up front so while Damian drove, Samuel gave directions the other four of us sat in the bed of the old truck. I made sure to sit with my back against the back window of the truck so I had something to lean against. Puck, Sam and Marissa looked completely calm laughing and talking, how? I don't know. I was scared about falling out and halfway to Samuel's house made Damian stop the car so I could sit in the car instead of outside of it. Spending the rest of the ride with Damian and Samuel mocking my ability to sit in the bed of a truck for the next ten minutes was totally worth not having the feeling that I was going to fall out of the car.
We got to Samuel's house and we all changed into our swim suits. I was wearing a simple two piece dark blue bikini. Samuel was in his room threatening to wear a Speedo which no one wanted. I felt indifferent to it, having a brother on the school swim team does that to you, but by this point I just wanted to get in the pool. Running outside and jumping in was fun, being followed with Samuel jumping over my head made me scream and go under water. Samuel is like a brother to me so he knows just how to annoy me. After a few minutes we were all in and out of the water eating some snacks that Samuel's mom had brought outside for us to eat.
Samuel whipped out his Iphone and started to type some stuff in. I knew that he was going to one of his "Apps" as in either Truth or Dare (18+) or Spin the Bottle (18+). After another minute and Samuel laughing without saying anything and looking back and forth between Marissa and Damian I knew that he had chosen Truth or Dare. Greaaat! Marissa responded by jumping back into the pool.
Taking the phone from Samuel, who was sitting next to me in a deck chair, I started laughing at the ridiculous suggestion that Damian got of "Sucking on Marissa's neck for twenty seconds." Damian took the phone and groaned in a very fake way. Samuel dropped his phone next to the snacks and jumped in after Marissa so I took the phone and just laughed at what the stupid app came up with.
Two hours later we were tired of swimming and decided to go inside and change. I didn't want to change so I just stayed in my bikini with my towel wrapped around my waist. Within a second Samuel had his phone back out and continued the game of Truth or Dare.
"Marissa, truth or dare?" The smirk on Samuel's face was one which he always wore once he started an Iphone app game.
"Umm, truth, since we are just starting." She didn't want to play, it was obvious, but still, it was fun. She had to answer who she would date out of everyone there and she surprised everyone by saying that she would date Puck. Out of all the people why Puck? Then everyone else answered the question and dating Puck became popular, even with Puck! I chose Damian, of course, but he seemed like he didn't care and we kept on playing. Once it got to me I chose dare and I had to, "sit on the lap of the person to my left." I turned to my left and blue eyes met blue eyes.
"Do you mind?" I tried to not be overly happy at this but when Damian's face just screamed "get it over with!" I climbed onto his lap.
Marissa supplied an "Aww" and looked at me wearing that "cute" smile and the game continued.
Samuel got bored of Truth or Dare and switched to Spin the Bottle which didn't last so we ended up playing Truth or Dare again. If we had done everything it said we would have ended up naked by the time the game ended but thankfully we didn't do everything. If I had done everything I was supposed to do I would have ended up giving Samuel a lap dance, Damian a chest massage while sitting on his…pelvis, and performing a strip tease… Basically, I ended up going from sitting on Samuel's lap to sitting on Damian's. It wasn't bad, but the fact that Samuel is the biggest flirt on the face of the earth? It made sitting on his lap awkward.
Another few minutes later Samuel had switched back to Spin the Bottle, and I had to kiss his neck and Damian's cheek. Samuel got one that said he had to "Hollywood style" dip me and kiss me…which failed on my part. We couldn't figure out how to stand and once we got it right, so he could dip me, I started laughing two seconds into the dip and fell to the floor.
The only reason I had agreed to let Samuel dip me was because of the fact that we are both in theatre. We both knew that we would have to do scenes soon and it was highly likely that we would have to do a scene together…and Samuel wanted to do a romantic piece. It isn't very hard to see Samuel in a romantic way to a girl whom has never talked to him but once you actually know him and all of his flirty self it is hard to see him as more than a brother.
Since that failed so badly we all chose to do some karaoke. I kicked it off by singing Hot n Cold by Katy Perry.
I started the song off and pulled Samuel off of the couch so it would be a duet.
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a chick
I would know
I should know
That you're no good for me
I started the song off and pulled Samuel off of the couch so it would be a duet.
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You!
You don't really want to stay, no
You!
But you don't really want to go-oh
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Samuel started off the chorus with passion.
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get it off this ride
I sang this thinking completely of Damian sitting on the couch clapping his hands to the beat. The song ended and Samuel and I got a standing ovation from Damian and Marissa and a wolf whistle from Puck. I rolled my eyes at him and pulled him off of the couch to sing. He pulled Marissa up with him and she chose a song and started singing.
He spends his nights in California,
Watching the stars on the big screen,
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
Why can't that be me
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things
He'd rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,
Puck then joined her in for the chorus
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
what would I do,
What would I do
Then Puck sang, only Puck.
She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that's all she needs
Yeah!
It was amazing watching them sing together. Their voices just… fit.
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
There was more clapping as Marissa shoved the microphone into Damian's hand. He then looked at me, "Want to sing?"
My mind was wondering on the thoughts of singing with Damian so when he asked me I was shocked. "Umm, sure?" I sounded unsure but I stood up and walked over to Damian and took the microphone that he handed me.
I chose the song and started singing, pulling Damian up close to me by his shirt.
Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me
He took the microphone back and rested his hand in my hair.
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell
Singing with Damian felt magical, it didn't feel like acting. It felt like… amazing.
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time
Damian broke my heart with his eyes every second of the song as he pulled away slightly.
Say there's no future
For us as a pair
Damian then put his arm around my waist and pulled me even closer.
And though I may know
I don't care!
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine
I got up on my tip toes and kissed him on the cheek lightly. Well, I tried to kiss him on the cheek but he turned his head so I ended up kissing him on the lips. It felt just like the song, amazing. It was my first kiss, well, my first real kiss. I have had many stage kisses but lips never touched then. It wasn't overly romantic, and there was no tongue touching. After a few seconds Damian started to dip me slightly. Not Hollywood dip, just slightly so I had to rely on him to keep from falling to the ground again. I felt everyone else's eyes on me but I could have sworn that it was just us there. After a minute we broke the kiss. I started biting my lower lip looking into his eyes trying to find out what he thought about it.
"Wow…" Hearing his accent made my knees go weak. Somewhere in the background someone whistled and someone laughed softly.
I turned to the place where the laugh came from and noticed that it was from Samuel.
"Talk about the luck of the Irish!" I blushed and Damian glared at Puck.
"Oh shut up Puckerman," I was laughing as I sat down with Damian and leaned against his shoulder as he put his arm around me. Marissa, Samuel, and Puck continued singing but I barely heard any of the lyrics.
"So, where does this leave us?" I whispered into Damian's ear as Marissa finished a solo.
"You tell me, you kissed me remember?" He accent was so very sexy as he bent his head down to whisper back into my ear.
"No," I was teasing him now putting my hand on his chest, "I kissed you on the cheek, and you kissed me on the lips."
He moved his hand from my shoulders down to my waist and pulled me into another kiss. It was short but sweet and still amazing. "I guess this leaves you with a boyfriend Ms. Pearce." Still wanting to tease him I pulled away very slightly.
"I don't know what you are talking about? No one has asked me out lately." A smile crossed my lips and was reflected on his.
"Okay," he untangled himself from me and stood up. He then offered me his hand so I took it and he pulled me close to him. "Instead of asking you out how about I sing it?" His eyebrows were dancing wildly as he turned on a song I knew all too well. He started singing and he took my hand.
I Should Tell You I'm Disaster
I Forget How To Begin It
I interrupted him and started to sing the female's part of the song.
Let's Just Make This Part Go Faster
I Have Yet - To Be In It
I Should Tell You
I Should Tell I Blew The Candle Out
Just To Get Back In
I'd Forgotten How to Smile
Until Your Candle Burned My Skin
The song didn't fit. It was confessing, but…just not the right confessing. So, I stopped singing and changed the song. Damian looked confused but once he heard the first few notes he looked at me and smiled.
I can show you the world
Shining shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
you last let your heart decide
He spun me on the last word and I started laughing, happy that I had a few verses before I started singing.
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways, and under
On a magic carpet ride
When he said under he pulled me to the ground so we were both crouching. I could tell that he was doing this so I would laugh. He was still singing and pulled me up slowly.
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
I felt so free singing with him. Singing a song about how everything was new now, new with him. I started singing and I never broke eye contact.
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world
With you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
He put his hands over my eyes and started laughing into my ear.
Don't you dare close your eyes
I pulled away and laughed just as loud
A hundred thousand things to see
He took my hand and pulled me close.
Hold your breath- it gets better
I felt every lyric of the song, I knew that it was true.
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be
Damian was pulling me through the living room. He was pulling me over couches, around tables, and up close to him.
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
The song ended with me pulled in even tighter than we were on the couch. My head on his chest and my arms around his sides while he had his head ducked and his arms resting on my back.
"I all of a sudden love Disney songs more than when I was a kid." Damian's comment made me laugh with my head still on his chest.
"Come on love birds! I wanna sing something a little less cheesy!" Puck tried to stand up but Marissa stopped him.
"Wait!" She had an evil glint in her eyes. "I want to sing something I have been thinking about for a while with Lindsay!" I was pulled away from Damian as Marissa chose a new song. "I hope you know it! It fits you so much right now! Well, it fit you about ten minutes ago!" The song started playing and it took all of my strength to not A) roll my eyes, B) tackle her to the ground and C) hug her. I started of the song with a hand on my hip and a voice that sounded like it didn't care.
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!
Samuel started laughing and I took the glare that I was about to give to Marissa and directed it at him as she started singing.
Who'd 'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of
By this point all of the guys, Damian included, were laughing. I picked the song back up at the next two lines, then Marissa took the two after that, then it was mine again.
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh
why deny it, uh-oh
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it
It was fun singing out how mad I was at Marissa for making me sing this. It reminded me about how she had been telling me for the past few months, since Damian had moved to Lima, to ask him out.
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love
These last lines of course were the most important. They showed exactly what I felt…
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love
I ended the song on a soft note, looking at Damian.
"Is that really how you felt ten, well, now twelve or so minutes ago?" He was serious and scanning my eyes for the truth.
"Yes, yes I felt like this about twelve minutes ago," I don't know why or how but a small giggle escaped my lips. I looked down at the ground and my eyes caught the plain black watch on Damian's wrist.
"What time is it?" I asked softly.
"Ten till eight, why?" His voice held concern, the concern that was always there before the kiss, but was now intensified after matter.
"Oh crap!" I yelled as I ran for the door. How did you forget? A small voice in my head asked me. You were kissing that Irish boy whom you have liked for forever! Remember? A louder voice responded. "I have to go. I am really sorry! I told the new theatre girl that I would go to a sleep over at her house so we could work on some stuff for class." I was almost out the door when I remembered that my car was currently at school.
I ran back into the living room but met Damian walking towards me with his keys in hand. "Ready to go?" He kissed me on the cheek so lightly that it could barely be called a kiss. I rolled my eyes and followed him out to his car.
On the way to the house I thought I might as well tell Damian the truth. "Can you keep a secret?" Damian just nodded as I continued to give him directions on how to get to the house. "I'm not going to a theatre girl's house." I looked down at my feet and waited for his question of "What do you mean?" but it never came.
"I figured," this shocked me and Damian looked over at my face and started laughing. "You are telling me how to get to your house, I have been there before remember?" I felt like an idiot. Yes, I was trying to get Damian to my house.
It wasn't to do anything sexual; I just wanted to be with him without the comments from Samuel, and the wolf whistling from Puck. I could feel myself sinking in the seat and Damian pulled over.
"We are here; do you want me to come inside with you?" He wasn't joking, or making any sexual reference, he just seemed like he wanted me to be safe…
"Yes, actually I do." We got out of the truck and he put his arm around my shoulders as we walked up to the front door.
"Are your parents' home?" He still didn't sound like he was trying for anything sexual, and him being who he is he would never try anything like that anyway.
"No, not right now." I opened the door and we walked inside. "Do you want anything to drink?" I walked over to the kitchen as he went to the couch in the living room.
"Not right now," I sat down next to him and started to get comfortable. "Wanna watch a movie, Disney preferably." I laughed a little as I walked over to the collection of DVD's in the corner.
"How about Mulan?" I had my back turned to him at the moment but it was the first Disney movie I found why not?
"As long as you sing the songs with me." I couldn't tell if he was joking so I agreed to the strange to normal people, normal to him question.
A little while into the movie I sang Reflection and got a kiss on the cheek from Damian. "That was beautiful, you are beautiful." I pushed him away playfully then pulled him back.
We both sang I'll Make a Man out of you then Girl worth Fighting for. I gave him a shove in the arm and some playfully harsh comments about how he wants a girl with no brain which ended up with us wrestling on the carpet for a good five minutes before he had me pinned. We were both breathing heavily and our faces were only inches apart. Damian was staring into my eyes and was leaning down slowly but then we heard something.
Beep beep beep
It was Damian's phone ringing and I cursed softly as he got up to read the text. "It's from Samuel." He entered in his password so he could read the full text then his face was drained of all color.
"What does it say?" I was laughing at how fast his expression had changed.
"I am quoting this not saying it myself, Samuel sent this!" he was talking faster than usual.
"Get on with it before I take your phone and read the text!" I was getting impatient but Damian complied.
"And I quote, 'Lindsay sits on Damian's…umm… front for two minutes, provided by Truth or Dare." Damian was bracing himself for the attack but I didn't.
"So, then does that mean that I pinned you?" I was laughing and Damian rolled his eyes. "How about, I sit on your lap for the rest of the movie instead?" Damian looked confused for a second but then nodded his head. He sat down then I sat down on his lap and put my head on his shoulder. We stayed like that watching the rest of the movie until it ended. Damian gave me a kiss on the cheek goodbye then whispered into my ear.
"I love you my little star." It was cute how he said it so I cupped his cheek and replied.
"I love you my Lucky Charm." I knew it was way too cheesy but Damian had the entire movie to think about a cute nickname while I had two seconds but there was always time later to come up with a good nickname.
I walked with Damian to the door and stayed, standing in the door way until Damian reached his car. I walked back inside, butterflies in my tummy when I heard my phone ring. It was Damian.
"I hope that that boy from the Carnival doesn't call you now. Signed, your Lucky Charm" I laughed a little as I closed my phone and sat back down on the couch. I hadn't even thought of Cameron or his friend whom liked to embarrass him, or his other friend who had eyes for Damian. I hope he doesn't call. It was the last thought I had before playing Mulan again and falling asleep on the couch. It was the perfect end to the perfect day.
Until next time,
~Keep it Pearced
