CHAPPIE 7
Bridget looked at her self in the window of a shop. She was meeting Pai near his house, since she didn't want him coming over to pick her up ands she didn't want any one at his house recognising her.
She re-checked her appearance before venturing down the street and walking to meet Pai. He turned and slipped in a small, warm smile as he waved her over. He was wearing baggy jean-like, greyish trousers, a red t-shirt and a darker grey jacket.
His hair was in its usual style with his single plait hanging on the side of his face and his expression was so cool that Bridget felt her heart skip a beat slightly. She smiled "Hey" "Hey yourself" he repeated.
Pai was once again stunned with Bridget's attire. She looked gorgeous. Her hair was tied back with a long ribbon so a little bit of her bright neon green tresses was poking out (A.N-her hair looked like it dose in her Mew Lettuce form). She was wearing white skin tight jeans and a sky blue long sleeve top with light brown sandals.
"You look nice" he finally managed to say. Bridget blushed "T-thanks" she stuttered. Pai sighed and took Bridget's face in his hand "Ok, if were going to do this date thing, you have to do one thing for me…"
Bridget was blushing furiously at Pai's serious look "W-what w-would that be" she stuttered again. Pai rolled his eyes again, and smiled warmly "can you at least try not to stutter and calm down."
Bridget now resembled a fire truck she was blushing so hard. But composed herself enough to nod. And smile. And take his had as they both got on the bus.
"Hey Bridget, Pai. You're here" Ichigo cried from the Karaoke Booth as the two was shown in. they were in an Open Karaoke booth and a couple of kids from the far table were singing Leona Lewis bleeding love and were failing miserably on the high notes.
'Poor kids' Bridget thought sympathetically 'they really are terrible'. She looked around at the looks of repulsion from the others listening "well they should have gone to a closed of karaoke bar if they weren't prepared for some bad singers" Pai muttered angrily, indicating the disgusted audience.
Not wanting to cause a scene, she pulled on his arm towards their table. He went with her and soon calmed down as he was seated next to Bridget. Something about her had a calming effect on him. But the strangest thing was, during the whole time until that moment…he hadn't thought once of Retesu. It was almost as if she had disappeared from his mind.
He looked over at Bridget who had engaged in conversation with Ichigo. She was practically glowing and true to her promise, wasn't stuttering, not once. He wanted to grin, but kept a straight face.
"So" Kissu said casually "you and Bridget seem to be on good terms" he pointed out. Pai shrugged, he could hide his attraction for Bridget, but then things would only get complicated later. "Yeah, but I don't understand how good" he admitted.
Kissu looked surprised "so your not denying it?" he asked surprised. Pai shrugged again "No, there's no point…I know Im attracted to her…I just don't know how much, or on what scale."
Kissu looked like he wanted to say more when suddenly two girls ran into their table "Kissu sem-pai! Pai sem-pai! What are you doing here!" the two girls shrieked with fake surprise. It was Mika and Riku, the twins and fan-girls of Kissu and Pai.
Pai looked at them in utter repugnance "what do you want" he growled Riku. She only smiled seductively and reached out to him. But was stopped by Bridget's voice "can we help you" she said sweetly. Riku stopped and glared at Bridget "well look who we have here" she sneered "if it isn't the little Marine Biologist"
Pai felt anger bubble up from within him. He was about to tell the two girls to get lost, when Bridget cut him off "and what, may I ask, is exactly wrong with being a marine biologist." She asked in an even voice "w-well its nerdy" stammered Riku while Mika just nodded.
"Says a person who gets a D in each of her exams and who's idea of fun is to break the ears of people who come here to hear some singing and instead get two idiots screeching like dying cats" she said calmly. Pai was shocked. Was this really Bridget?, she was confident, calm and…Hot"
Riku was fuming, "who are you to talk to me like that" she screeched "your just some stupid little new-bi, you…" Pai decided that he had had enough. "I suggest you back off" he said coldly "were on a date". Bridget looked up at him with a grateful smile, and Pai felt his heart soar.
"Yeah, get lost" Ichigo piped in angrily, go find an ally to howl in or something "oh like you could do any better" Riku sniped "actually…I can" everyone turned to Bridget who was looking a little shyer then before. "Bridget…are you sure?" Ichigo asked worried. Other then Pai, everyone else had heard her in the music room, they knew she couldn't sing. So why was she…?
"Bridget" Pai said concerned. He didn't know why Bridget didn't want anyone to know about her beautiful singing voice, but he hadn't ever questioned her about it. But now she looked so ready for it. "Hai…Im sure" she smiled at him "I want you to hear" she then said a little quieter, so only he could hear "I want to prove to you that Im not so afraid anymore"
Pai stared down at her. Their eyes met of about a second, but in that second, Pai knew that she wasn't only doing it for him or for the stupid twins. She was doing it for herself, proving it to herself.
Bridget got up and walked over to the stage. She selected something on the Karaoke machine and climbed up onto the stage. "Uh, hello…is this thing on" she spoke into the mic. Once sure it was on, she said "this song is called Kiss the girl by Hilary Duff"
She took a deep breath and the introduction music started. "Wow, cover your ears everyone" sneered Riku "because it's about to get ugly" added Mika. "Oh no" cried Ichigo as she hid her face in her hands. Pai watched, not adding any comment. Because he didn't need to, the look in Bridget's eyes showed that she didn't get up on that stage to humiliate herself.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
Bridget's voice was strong, steady and beautiful. Just like Pai remembered it from that time. Ichigo dropped her hands and stared up at her astounded.
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna, kiss the girl
Bridget eyes now showed the tiniest hint of mischief as she sang the second verse. Pai couldn't help but smile at her. Especially, when he heard the combined voices of Riku and Mike gasping: "No way….where did she learn to do that? ..."
Yes you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you too
There is only one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl.
Bridget's grin was positively impish as she got into the full swing of the song.
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boys to shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
She winked at the table that Pai and the others were sitting at.
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame too bad
Your gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
The music slowed as Bridget began the third verse and Pai noticed something then. Bridget was so different when she sang. So…happy. Her face was so illuminated her smile was so wide. He knew that Bridget didn't even have time to stutter, because she was having so much fun. He frowned, if she loved singing this much, and she was this good, then why did she hide her talent to the extent to actually fake a bad voice in school? And why would she show her talent now of all times.
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time would be better
Pai wondered for a moment, was this the thing she loved to do the most, the ting that her parents had disapproved of? But why would they disapprove of this? Most normal parents would be thrilled to have such a talented daughter.
He listened to her voice mesmerised. Then he suddenly started to listen to the lyrics.
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
The crown applauded and screamed in approval at Bridget's lovely voice. Riku and Mika were red in the face as they watched Bridget up on stage. Ichigo and Kissu were standing up and cheering like never before. But Pai wasn't even listening, he was too mesmerised by girl singing on stage, her words seemed stand out the most.
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boys to shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame too bad
Your gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it now
You wanna kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
She winked
Lalalala Lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Lalalala Lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
My oh my
Looks like the boys to shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame too bad
Your gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it now
YOU WANNA KISS THE GIRL!!
She hit the high note.
Go on and kiss the girl
She winked
Lalalala Lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Lalalala Lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Bridget took her final bow, and if possible the whole bar broke out into an even bigger applause then before. This time Pai clapped along with them, feeling so proud. Bridget grinned and thanked her audience before coming back over and seating herself next to Pai.
"Wow!! Bridge" Ichigo gushed "why didn't you tell me you had a voice like that" Bridget winked and put a finger to her lips "because it's a secret, so shhhhh" she laughed. Pai chuckled "did you hear that Kissu, it's a secret. So keep your big blabber mouth shut for once"
Kissu glared at him "look whose talking" he grinned "at least Bridget has the courage to reveal the truth about her voice. This is more than I can say for you"
That got the gangs attention "You sing?" Bridget asked stunned. Pai glared at Kissu and shrugged at Bridget "I can sing, but I prefer not to. It was never a good time."
"Oh come on" Ichigo elbowed him in the ribs "one song wont hurt, we wont tell anyone will we guys" every one shook their heads "besides it's a karaoke bar, it's the perfect time" Pai shook his head, he was about to say 'No freaking way' when Bridget piped in "I would love to hear you sing Pai-sempai. The look she was giving him, Pai couldn't say no. since when did the cold, frosty Pai, give in because of a single girls eyes, even if they were the most beautiful shade of blue he ever saw.
Pai sighed and grabbed the mic from Bridget. He made his way to the stage and picked his song. "Hello" he said into the mic "I haven't done this in a while, so don't boo me" little chuckles of laughter rippled through the crowd at his humour. "Im gonna sing something by Jesse McCartney.
A guitar solo introduction played on the speakers as Pai sang in a deep soulful voice:
I don't wanna another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Bridget was stupefied. Pai's voice was so beautiful! She could feel his words reverberating through her.
I know that you are something special
To you Id always be faithful
I want to be, what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
Pai couldn't help but thing pf Bridget when he sand his song, for some reason, every word seemed to ring true; every word seemed to mean something. The song was helping his realize the feelings he had been holding in for so long.
I don't wanna another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
The words were true as he sang them. Pai looked out into the audience to see Bridget smiling at him in awe. He had wanted to sing something like this for Retesu, but for some reason, singing for Bridget didn't give his that wave of guilt that he would have gotten a few days ago. Instead he felt happy, exited almost giddy!
You might need time to think it over
But Im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind if you give me the chance
I will never make you cry, c'mon lets try
I don't wanna another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
He smiled at her, and Bridget blushed, sending a wave of pleasure that coursed through Pai's body
Am I crazy for wanting you?
Maybe, do you think you could want me too?
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do?
I just wanna know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
I don't wanna another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I don't wanna another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
He finished and everyone clopped wildly for him, happy to have two songs that didn't suck in a row. He bowed and made his way back to Bridget. He bent down by her ear and whispered "Why don't we get out of here?" Pai had realized something during his performance, and he didn't want to wait a second to reveal it.
Luckily Bridget nodded and the two said their goodbyes to Ichigo and Kissu.
They walked away and took a walk through the Park. Pai was trying to find the perfect time to tell her. Finally they walked to the bus stop. There was no one there. Pai decided that now was as good as any. "Bridget" he said. "Yes-Sem-Pai" she said cutely. Pai felt his pulse race, but he kept a straight face. "I want to tell you something" he paused "I-I …" "yes?" Bridget asked raising her eye-brow. Pai decided to get it over with "I like you" he announced.
Bridget blinked "huh?" Pai hated repeating himself "it took a long time to realize it. But I know now" he took a step closer to her "I really like you" and with that he captured her lips with his.
Surprisingly, Bridget didn't push him away, instead she reached forward and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Pai felt himself getting lost in her. When Pai had apprehended he was in love with Bridget, unexpectedly he didn't feel bad about it.
He realized that Retesu was his past. And she wasn't coming back. Bridget was here, she was now, and she was everything he could ever want in a girl. And he loved her. Nothing else mattered. He just loved her.
His parents may disapprove of him falling for a poor girl, but he loved her. And all he needed was for her to return his feeling for everything to be complete.
"Hey! Love birds! Break it up over there I got people to pick up" Pai and Bridget broke apart to see the bus driver honking at them. Bridget broke out in a furious blush and said good buy to Pai. But as she tried to get on the bus he grabbed her wrist "I just confessed to you" he said "I want an answer as soon a possible" he grinned "lets say tomorrow?" Bridget nodded and Pai let go "See you tomorrow Kanojo" Bridget blushed as she got on the bus. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.
OHHHHHH PAI CONFESSED WILL BRIDGET SAY YES? FIND OUT IF YOU REVIEW.
KANOJO MEANS SWEETHEART IN JAPANESE BY THE WAY
