Not So Perfect. Part II.
I stumbled my way back to the camp, leaving Naomi standing still, and quiet, on her own. I threw myself into my tent and lead on my back, staring at the ceiling of the tent.
I could hear Cook yelling at the top of his voice 'come on England!' it isn't the football match you know Cook?
Katie was giggling with her sister and Freddie was trying to join in from what I could hear...No sound of Effy as far as I knew, but then again she is the quiet sort. I could hear no JJ either, he must be appreciating Cook.
I was wrong though. JJ wasn't with Cook. He was sat outside my tent, around the back of it. His quiet voice made me jump.
"I know you're there...can I come in? I'm tired too," he said. I crawled towards the door of the tent and unzipped it quietly and then went back to my place, "not wanting to be with Cook then?" I asked. "No...Not right now anyway," he replied, "...n-not that I'm using you though."
"Well I guess its okay f you come in then," I answered. His body brushed again the grass as he crawled around and into the tent. I lay back down and grabbed my iPod. He sat next to be, curled up in a ball. He always seems to do that.
I turned my iPod on and handed an ear phone to him. He hesitated for a moment before taking it.
So hear me, if you're out there.
"What's this song called?"
Take these words and try to understand...
"Between the Minds."
...that I want you, and need you...
"By who?
...to take the hand of a quiet man...
"Jack Savoretti"
He nodded as if he knew who he was. Obviously he didn't. Hardly anyone had heard of Jack S.
"I have to say...these lyrics remind me of you," I turned to face him and smiled. He replied with a fragment of a smile. He shuffled and led down next to me, "how so?" he asked.
"Well it's on about a quiet man...You're quiet and...nah it's just the quiet part that fits you," I whispered.
"Hmm you're quite right there...but it's on about wanting and needing this man. That is not true, because first you would have to properly know me and secondly you'd have to like me."
"Atleast I've got one of the two things ticked off the checklist," I replied grinning at him.
"Which one is that?"
"That's something you'll have to work out," and with that, I sat on top of him and ran my finger down his lips, neck and chest being leaning forward for a kiss, his hands locked onto my thighs.
