Chapter Three
A few months have passed by since I started to teach everyone about my culture and language. I have also been cooking traditional Mexican food lately too. Ukyo was so kind into calling my father and asking him where he could find the freshest picked fruits and vegetables in Mexico and send it here for me too cook. I have been showing more smiles and sharing my laughter more now since I moved here. All of my brothers have done nothing but trying to make me feel at home and making me not forget of who I am or my culture.
I was once again sitting on the couch in the Sala, with Juli by my side (on my shoulder), playing my aucoustic. It was silent beside the melody of my guitar. I haven't seen anyone from the moment I woke up today. It seemed everyone was out.
I guess it's ok.
As I continued to strum my guitar a single song came to my mind. I began to hum but soon I ended up singing it out loud. But I wasn't alone as I thought I was. I heard movement coming from the stairs. I looked up and saw Wataru and Masaomi. I smiled at them, my body feeling whole again. They smiled back at me and walked down the stair case. Once they were at the bottom Wataru came running toward me.
"What are you doing Onee-chan?" I hummed with a smile, running my fingers through his hair.
"I'm just playing my aucoustic." I whispered.
"What were you singing before?" Wataru and Masaomi sat across from me.
"It's a song I learned from Christian camp."
"You went to Christian camp?" Wataru asked.
"Yes, along time ago when I was about your age." At that time, I saw Louis, Tsubaki, Azusa, Natsume, Iori, Kaname and everyone else coming down the stairs and sitting on the couch around me.
"Nani, nani? What's going on here?" Tsubaki asked.
"Onee-chan was about to sing a song she learned from Christian camp!" Everyone was looking at me and suddenly, I felt shy and my face started to burn.
"N-no, I was just telling Wataru that I learned a song from camp."
"You should sing the song for us." Iori said.
"Mmm, yes." Louis agreed, sitting next to Iori. It was silent but I could hear my heart hammering against my chest, threatening to burst out and explode. All eyes were on me, and I tried to avoid every single one. But one pair caught my eyes. It was Wataru's. His eyes were full of hope and curiosity. I could not look away, his gaze caught my heart, attaching itself to me and holding on tight to my heart strings. I took a deep breath, sighing out my fear.
"Ok." I said. Everyone smiled and hummed in delight. I started strumming the melody, the room filling with my music.
"I love the way you hold me."
I've had a long day, I just wanna relax
Don't have time for my friends, no time to chit chat
Problems at my job, wonderin' what to do
I know I should be working but I'm thinking of you and
Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That's when your smile comes around
Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
Well ya, took my day and you flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart, always on my mind
It's crazy how I think about you all of the time
And just when I think I'm 'bout to figure you out
You make me wanna sing and shout
I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
I'm so grateful and thankful for all you've done
Wish I could tell you in a short story or poem
But all I have is my voice and this guitar
And you have my heart
Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, every day, every
I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day oh-so-special
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
Oh, I love. . .
When I was done everyone stared at me.
"Wow! Onee-chan you know English too!?" Wataru said. I smiled.
"Yes, I have family in America. That's where my camp was. I had to learn their language or I would never understand because they didn't know my language." Everyone's mouth formed an 'O' in realization.
"Can you play another song?" Wataru asked.
"Of course." This time I wasn't so scared to sing in front of people. For some reason, it was starting to get easier.
