Rio: The Aftermath
Chapter 5: romance begins
Sorry about the wait, everyone, I was feeling unwell, but I took some medicine and I'm feeling better now. Not 100 percent better, just well enough to stay awake.
"I think I love you, Linda..." Tulio finally confessed while he knew waited to see if she too had feelings for him.
Linda was in complete shock and could not believe what Tulio had just confessed to her from the bottom of his heart. She adjusted her glasses while rubbing her left hand up and down her right arm.
There was silence for at least one entire minute. Tulio patiently waited for Linda to reply while he placed his hands into his lab coat pockets.
Just when Tulio thought he was gonna be heartbroken, Linda smiled at Tulio rather than look sad and made her way over to the orthologist. Linda placed her hand on the side of Tulio's face, and before he could even blink, Linda had kissed Tulio patiently to answer his question.
Tulio was completely caught off guard, but he soon relaxed and returned the kiss in return.
After a few moments had passed, Tulio and Linda had finally ended the kiss they had been sharing for a few minutes. Linda and Tulio remained silent while they put their arms around each other and held each other in a hug.
"Tulio, I love you too." Linda finally confessed after a couple of minutes while she rested her head on Tulio's chest.
While the two humans had been hugging each other in a embrace, back in the artificial jungle, Blu and Jewel were sitting together inside the artificial nest.
Blu had his left wing over Jewel like a blanket to keep her comfortable and to comfort her, while he held Jewel's good wing in his right wing. "Jewel, I'm not hurting your wing, am I?"
"No, Blu, I'm perfectly fine." Jewel answered while looking at her bandaged wing. Jewel sighed like she was depressed and looked back over at her new lovehawk. "My wing itches a little, but I think I can cope with that."
"That's good." Blu said until he quickly realized what he said and quickly began to get nervous again. "I mean, that's not good that your wing is bad. Well, I mean, it's good that it's recovering, but um, I ,um..."
Jewel giggled in response, finding Blu's nervous expression, and placed the tip of her good wing on top of his beak again to silence him from saying anything more.
Blu was about to mumble more words to her, but Jewel spoke first before he had the chance to talk.
Jewel smiled, and continued to press her wing against the top of Blu's beak. "Blu, I understand what you meant. There's no need to be nervous. Okay?"
Blu nodded in response and mumbled something to Jewel which sounded like he was saying "Okay".
Jewel giggled in response while she took her wing from the top of Blu's beak, and playfully rubbed her head against Blu's chest. "You're so cute, Blu."
Blu smiled in response and moved his feathery wings around Jewel more to keep her comfortable, and for the first time, he didn't feel nervous around Jewel, and felt like he could hold her forever in his wings. "You're cuter, Jewel."
"No, you are."
"No, you are."
"NO, you are."
"No, YOU are."
The two lovebirds continued to playfully argue with each other while they continued to hold each other in an embrace. Jewel put her good wing around Blu's back and hugged him while resting her head near his neck.
While Blu held Jewel in his wings with the side of his head rested on top of her head, he let her go slightly so they were face-to-face, and looked into her beautiful eyes. There was something Blu wanted to do with Jewel again ever since they went to the Samba Club, and that was to dance with Jewel again.
Blu smiled while placing his right wing on the back of his neck and began rubbing it. "Jewel..."
"Mmmm?" Jewel hummed rather than speak so she could enjoy the peace and quiet she and Blu had been sharing.
"I was just wondering...If you would like to dance with me?" Blu inquired while he held Jewel's good wing again, and with a smile on his beak.
Jewel was hoping Blu would ask her to dance with her again soon. When they first danced together at the club, Jewel had to admit she was really impressed with Blu's dance moves.
Even though Blu really had no idea what he was doing, and it was he samba of the music that was making him dance. Either way, Jewel still loved his moves, especially when he took her wing and danced her around in circles.
Jewel did not reply; instead, she placed good wing around the back of Blu's neck and moved her face closer, closer, and closer until it was itches away.
Before Blu could say anything, Jewel had locked her beak into Blu's beak, and had passionately kissed him and caught Blu off guard just like when they were falling from the sky.
Blu did not expect Jewel to kiss him for the second time so soon, but he relaxed and enjoyed every moment of the passionate kiss he and Jewel were sharing together.
After the kiss was over, Blu stood up out of the artificial nest and extended his wings out from his sides, preparing to fly somewhere.
Blu looked back at Jewel, who was looking at Blu with a curious face. Blu smiled and stood by the artificial hollow exit. "I'll be right back, Jewel. Just stay there."
"Okay." Jewel replied, wondering why Blu had flew away.
Jewel watched her new mate fly away using his new flight ability, and laid back down in the nest until Blu would return. While she waited patiently, Jewel folded her good wing behind her head and began to imagine happy thoughts in her might. "I never thought I would be together with Blu. He's so caring, nice, a little clumsy, and kind. He's so sweet, why was I ever so mean to him? Sure, he may have tried to kiss me, but I think he only did it because he loves me."
While Jewel dazed off in her thoughts, she turned back to reality when she heard some music play. "Huh?"
When Jewel stood back up onto her talons, Blu had returned into the hollow, with a grin on his beak. By the looks of it, it was him who had turned on the music.
Let me tell you now
All that's on my mind.
For a love like yours.
Is oh, so very hard to find.
I've looked inside myself.
Now I'm very sure.
There can only be, you for me.
I need you more and more...
Blu stood next to Jewel and held out his left wing to her, still with a smile on his beak. "Jewel, would you care to dance with me?"
Jewel couldn't help but smile in delight, and she accepted Blu's wing and placed her good wing into his. "I would be happy to, Blu."
You, turned me inside out and you showed me.
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
I wanna do all I can, just to show you.
Make you understand.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
Blu slowly spun Jewel around in circles in the artificial hollow. Even though there was not much room, they did not really need space since Jewel's wing was injured, and there was no need to dance fast.
When you're in my arms.
When I'm close to you.
There's a magic in your touch.
That just comes shining through.
Want you everyday.
Want you every night.
There can only be, you for me.
You make it seem so right.
Oh, girl, cause...
Blu and Jewel both smiled at each other while the danced continued. Even though Jewel's wing was injured and it left her flightless for a few weeks, Jewel just might be OK after all, as long as she has Blu with her for her time of need.
You, turned me inside out and you showed me.
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
In my mind, there's no other love.
You're the only girl my heart and soul is thinking of.
Only you, only me.
There can never ever be another.
That understands the way that I feel inside,
Cause...
"Jewel?" Blu said while moving his free wing around Jewel's back so he could hold her close to him and make the dance last, and looking into her beautiful turquoise eyes, which to him were like two crystal-clear waterfalls.
"Yes Blu?" Jewel inquired, looking down into her mates brown orbs like they were two chocolates balls.
You,turned me inside out and you showed me.
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
Yeah, you, turned me inside out and you showed me
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
"I love you, Jewel." Blu answered while he rested the top of his head on Jewel's in happiness.
"I love you too, Blu." Jewel cooed as she closed her eyes and rested her head on Blu's feathery blue chest.
(you stole my heart away)
You stole it. (you stole my heart away)
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
Yeah you, (you stole my heart away)
Oh you stole it, ( you stole my heart away)
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
You stole my heart away.
Stole it, (you stole my heart away)
Only you baby, the only one that stole my heart away.
Well, there you have it people. Looks like everyone has romance in their lives. And the song is called "Lionel richie the only one".
