A/N: Is the last year of Yumi at Kadic, Xana has been defeated and Ulrich is taller than her
Could It Be
I know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
And after all this time I opened up my eyes
Now I see you were always with me
2 weeks ago, Ulrich asked me if I wanted to go to the ball with him, I surely said yes… William asked me a hundred times, but I always manage to skip from him, because I wanted to go with him, I wanted to go with Ulrich…
Ulrich and I were friends since this entire Xana thing started, but I think we would end up friends the same way if Xana didn't exist, because of our martial arts class… and was there where I first met him, where I started to love him…
Chorus
Could it be you & I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you
I always loved him, but it took some time to notice it… he was always by my side, saving me, cheering me up… He was always beside me…
Now, I'm here, waiting for him, he wanted us to go together back to school, to the ball, I told him that my parents could take me there, but he is too stubborn…
Finally, I hear the door bell, it was him. My brother Hiroki opened the door, I was in my room, I slowly stand up, looked myself at the mirror, just to have sure it was alright. And so, I opened the door of my room, and walked to the living room, where he was waiting for me.
I went down the stairs when I was almost in the end, they all saw me, and smile, except Ulrich, who blush more than a red tomato… He usually does this, all the time… And I love that…
After my parents take some photos, whish me luck and after my daddy tell Ulrich that he wanted me back home at midnight, which means I would, sadly, lose more 2 hours of the party… But I was happy that I was with Ulrich…
So, how we don't have a car, we went to the ball walking, usually, I wouldn't care and after all, I do this way to school every day, but now I'm with high heels, it is a bit more difficult…
It's kinda funny you were always near
But who would ever thought we'd end up here
And every time I need you, you've been there for me
Now it's clear I've been waiting for you
Finally, we got there, Jeremie and Aelita were dancing happily at the dance floor, the music wasn't very fast and wasn't very slow. Odd was with Samantha, who miraculously started to study here since the beginning of the year, and also started to date Odd. I'm happy for them, all four. But for Ulrich and me… let's just say that we are still friends, despite the fact that I wanted more but don't have courage enough to ask him out…
"Hey, Yumi, wanna dance?" Ulrich asked me, I smiled and nod taking his hand and letting he lead me to the dance floor. We danced and had a lot of fun, but then, a slow music started… We stopped, but suddenly I felt his hands around my waist, pushing me next him…
Chorus
Could it be you & I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you
And I automatically enlaced my arms around his neck, I never thought Ulrich doing it, but I have to admit that I liked that. I rested my head in his chest, and I must say that he has been training a lot to stay with this developed chest…
I was enjoying the moment, having him this close like boyfriend and girlfriend was something I thought I would never have, even a second or two, an entire music made me very happy…
'Cause today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your eyes
And it's real, and it's true
It's just me and you
Could it be that it's you
Soon, another slow music plays, then, another, we just stood there, we didn't want to separate, well, at least I don't want to… But he separate us a little, enough to look at each others eyes, but we were still very close to each other, it made me blush, and I could tell that he blushed too.
"Yumi, I-I have something to tell you… Something I've been hiding from you a long time…" he began, it looked like he was afraid of some rejection… why? "B-but I never had the courage to tell you before, and I still don't have, so, I'll do something and I hope you will not get mad at me…"
He said, I really didn't understand his last words, till I felt his lips on mine's… it was a soft kiss, enough to make me feel fly from happiness. But this kiss was so unexpected that I didn't correspond at it, and I think that Ulrich thought that I didn't want him, I didn't want the kiss because he began to pull away, and of course I didn't let him go away…
Again, I enlaced my arms around his neck, but this time, pushing him closer, make the soft kiss deeper. He embraced my waist, making the same, pushing me closer and kissing me deeper…
Chorus
Could it be you & I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you
We stood there kissing each other for quite long time, but then; I felt something shake inside my purse. Unfortunately I had to separate from him and then, I have to search for it, Ulrich didn't understand why I separate, I could tell it by his puzzled, a bit sad and angry look at the sudden stop.
But he understands why I did that when I pull my cell phone out of my purse, I couldn't hear it inside my purse and with the loud music, but luckily I felt it shaking inside it… I saw in the screen of my cell, my dad's number. I grab Ulrich's hand and ran out side to answer it.
"What's up dad?"
"Just checking on you 2…"
"Dad, stop being so super protector. I'm fine. Now let me go back to the dance, ok? I don't have much time anyway…"
"Ok… Go… But remember, just till midnight!"
"Even a second more?"
"Ok, I'll give you half an hour more and that's it, understood, young lady?"
"Yes, sr."
So we hung up. I smiled with the fact that I could be with Ulrich more half an hour…
"So…" He began "What's your father wanted?" He asked with fear that I had to go
"He just wanted to check on me… And… he gave me more half an hour…"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"So… You know… Y-you want t-to continue w-what we w-were d-doing b-before your p-phone rang?"
He asked stuttering and turning redder at each word he spoke. I smiled, he looked so cute red from embarrassment, but I could feel that I was also blushing, I felt my cheeks got hotter…
Because I wanted…
"Yes… Do you want?"
He grinned, the grin that could melt every girl's heart… But he didn't answer, just lowered down, closer to me… However, I stopped him from get closer, because I needed to say something before.
"Ulrich, I have to tell you something… I love you too…"
I said to him and he smiled making me smile too. And we kissed again, now, all us 6 could go out as a triple date, because I started to date Ulrich that night…
