NEXT CHAPPIE…READY…SET…GO!!!
Bridget sighed; she was lying upside down on her bed, replaying the events from the pervious night. Pai had confessed his feeling to her, and he had kissed her again…what in that world was she suppose to do with that?
She sighed. Pai was…so different from what she had been expecting when she had tried to find him. Bridget had expected someone cold and heartless. Not warm and kind. What was she going to do now? He was never supposed to fall in love, and she definitely wasn't suppose to be…feeling the same way?
What was going on with her? Bridget sighed for the third time as she turned the radio on. A song by Taylor swift started playing on the small black box. Bridget always listened to lyrics when she had something on her mind. So she leaned back and closed her eyes.
Taylor swift's clear beautiful voice rang through Bridget's mind and she recognised the first few lines of her song; Fearless:
There's somthin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow of the pavement
You walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance
right there
in the middle of the parking lot,
yeah
Bridget liked the way the song sounded. Taylor swift sang it nicely, with all the different highs and lows. The music calmed her; she was finally able to compose her feelings, with the lyrics in the background:
We're driving down the road
I wonder if you know
Im trying so hard, not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through you hair
Absently-mindedly, makin' me want you
The chorus started and Bridget suddenly felt the need to listen to that part.
And I don't know how, it gets better then this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why, but with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
The chorus made Bridget sit up. She was impressed with the song, but there was something about it that made her want to listen.
So baby drive slow 'til we run out of road
In this one horse town, I wanna stay right here
In this passenger seat, you put your eyes on me
And this moment now
Capture it remember it!
Cause' I don't know how, it gets better then this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why, but with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
Bridget's eyes were now firmly plastered on the little black radio as Taylor Swifts voice rang through the room. It was the next verse that made Bridget's eyes widen:
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake, Im not usually this way
But you pull me in and Im a little more brave
It's the first kiss, its flawless, really something
Its fearless
Bridget couldn't help but thing about her kiss with Pai. He was really fearless kissing her like that at the bus stop. What was he thinking confessing and kissing her like that? She giggled at the memory. And the way he had called her sweetheart in front of all those people, if it hadn't had happened to her, then she would have thought it really funny.
And for her second kiss, Pai hadn't made it that bad. It had been all those things; flawless, really something…fearless. It had been the best kiss she had ever had. And it had been the second time she had ever been kissed. Ever.
Cause' I don't know how, it gets better then this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why, but with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
Cause' I don't know how, it gets better then this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why, but with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress fearless
The music faded away and Bridget felt that one word echoing in her mind: Fearless. Oh how Bridget wished she could be fearless. Then she could finally stand up to her parents and tell Ryoko to leave her alone.
Pai wasn't anything like Ryoko. He was kind and gentle and he respected her opinion and didn't treat her either like a brainy-ack or a dumb girl like Ryoko did. Suddenly knew her answer to Pai's confession. And she was going to be fearless for the first time in her life and tell him the truth about her. it would be unfair to tell him her feeling and not tell him the truth.
And if he was ok with it then everything would be Ok, but if he wasn't…then at least Bridget would have finally caught him out.
"I cant believe I kissed her…at a bus stop…in front of a bus…filled with people…and called sweetheart!!! How corny can I get" Pai groaned to Kissu and Tart who were sitting with him in his living room.
"Yeah" piped in Tart from the window-sill "if you were any cornier, you'd be the king of corn" he laughed and Pai glared at him. "Oh and how was your date with Pudding" he asked with a grin.
Tart spluttered and Kissu sniggered "what! how did you know? How told you" "that would be me" Kissu raised his hand "you mom told me. I called yesterday to ask id you wanted to come on another triple date. But your mom said you were already on a date with a 'delightful cheerful girl by the name of Pudding'"
Tart looked to the ground "it was…ok" he murmured. "So anyway" Kissu continued "what brought on the sudden confession? What happened to Retesu?" he asked confused.
Pai sighed "I got over her" he replied and it was true. Retesu didn't give him that light headed feeling anymore. Bridget did though; she made him feel so…different. He really liked her, maybe even loved her. he was finally over Retesu and it was thanks to Bridget.
"And what happened to jilting her after getting your computer back? You know, I was really surprised when I saw you with Bridget yesterday, and especially when you sang for her. what gives?" Kiss asked again.
Pai smiled and looked up "That was before I fell in love with her" "man you whipped!"
The two turned to see that Tart had been recording the whole transaction with his video camera. "TART!! I WONT TELL YOU AGAIN, GET THAT STUPID THING AWAY FROM HE BEFORE I SMASH IT TO PIECES!!!!" Pai yelled.
Tart turned off and cradled his precious camera "ok ok, its rewinding anyway. The tape's finished" he put it down on the sides table.
Suddenly the phone started ringing. Pai picked it up (Pai-in italics/Lettuce-in bold)
"Hello"
"Pai sempai?"
"Bridget!"
Pai jumped in his seat surprising Tart and knocking the camera to the ground
"Hey what's up?"
"Uh…I was wondering if I could come over to your house now."
"now?"
"Hai"
"Uhh…"
He looked around the room; Kissu and Tart were standing staring at him with amusement at his fluster. They would be the first to go
"Sure…Im gonna sent a car round. Where are you?"
"Outside"
That surprised him
"Outside?"
"Hai"
He went over to the window and pulled back the curtains slightly. Sure enough, Bridget was standing outside the front gate waving to him nervously. Her blush was spluttered on her cheeks.
"how'd you get here?"
"I took the bus, but the guard wont let me in…so can I come in?" she asked into the phone cutely.
"y-yeah, sure. Wait there a moment"
He put the phone down (end of Phone conversation) and picked up another one "Rolen let her in" he barked "but sir" Rolen argued "you mother…?" "NOW!" he barked again.
Pai peeked out the window again and saw the big black gates open slowly.
Soon Bridget was tapping against the door to the living room lightly. Kissu opened the door for her. Bridget blushed furiously as she said quietly "Is there someplace quiet we can talk?" "Oh Im sure anything you want to say to our dear friend Pai, you can say in front of his two friends" he joked, clearly enjoying her embarrassment and seeing Pai Blush for the first time. "Y-yeah" Pai stuttered, giving a good impression of Bridget "there will be as soon as I get these two idiots out"
"oh why cant we stay" Tart practically choked with laughter "we can order in for Pizza and enjoy the show" they both burst into laughter and Bridget's blush virtually glowed and Pai really wanted to hit his two soon to be ex-friends over the head with a wooden broom.
"Out" he yelled, grabbing both their arms and began dragging the two towards the door. "Ill be back in a second" he called out from the door "sit down, Im just gonna beat these guys up, and send them packing".
Bridget giggled and sat on the windowsill. She hadn't expected Pai's house to be so big, Bridget had known he was rich, but not this rich! The living room was so big. Bridget looked around when she suddenly noticed something on the floor.
She picked it up and realized it was a video camera, and a funny red light was showing. Not knowing much about cameras she tried to switch it of and instead only succeeded in stopping the rewind and turning it on. A familiar scene flicked into the little viewing screen. It was the carnival, on the day of the date.
ON THE SCREEN
"Tart, you better get that stupid camera out of my face right now, before is chuck it in a shredder" Pai sneered as Tart only laughed, holding his video camera out of Pai's reach "I just got this thing yesterday as an out-of-date birthday present, it ain't on now, but later Im gonna test it out by recording all the " "I don't care what you do, as long as you take your dates and go away when they get here" Kissu snapped "and both of you zip-it, your giving me a headache and they're nearly here"
"Who exactly is coming on this date, for you benefit and my laptop's return?" Pai asked sarcastically. Kissu shrugged "I phoned Ichigo yesterday night and said she was coming with Pudding…" beside him Tart shivered "…and some girl called Bridget Verdant"
"Bridget?!" Pai echoed "not Bridget, new girl Bridget" he asked. "Kissu shrugged again "think so". Pai groaned he hadn't been expecting this when he had agreed to this; he was expecting Minto or Zakuro.
At least with Minto, she would probably end up going to a teashop the whole time, and Zakuro…well it would be as if she weren't even there, the girl hardly talked. But Bridget, he wouldn't know what to expect from her, and that was going to be a problem.
"What's wrong with you?" Tart observed, holding his video camera up to Pai's face "I thought you liked her, you defended her on the girls first day -" "because the kid's around her' shouting was giving me a headache" Pai snapped, but Kissu continued "-and you stared at her the whole lesson she first came here, and you seemed to be enjoying your conversation you were having in the café so much that I had to drag you away before-"
"Listen!!" Pai cut in before either of his friends could say any more "I only talked to her in the Café because there was something I wanted to know from her, she means nothing to me. She's annoying, always stuttering, it drives my head in. why can't that girl just get to the point?" "but I thought" Kissu interrupted, but Pai intervened "the only reason I took any interest in her was because she looks like Retesu, but after only a few minutes of talking to her, shows me that Bridget, isn't any thing like Retesu. So the minute you get your girl, and I get my lap-top, Im jilting her"…
The scene faded away but Bridget didn't care. If it was possible to feel numb and also feel like your heart was being ripped out then that would be close to describing how Bridget felt. How could he say that? How could he think that about her? She hadn't done anything wrong. It was all to much. He had proved her wrong, he wasn't kind, he was every bit as cold and heartless as she had thought.
"Ok now that that's over and done with we can talk" Pai came into the room but stopped short when he saw the tears falling from Bridget's eyes "Bridget, what's wro…" she pressed a button and played the last part of the video: "Listen!!" Pai cut in before either of his friends could say any more "I only talked to her in the Café because there was something I wanted to know from her, she means nothing to me. She's annoying, always stuttering, it drives my head in. why can't that girl just get to the point?"
"but I thought" Kissu interrupted, but Pai intervened "the only reason I took any interest in her was because she looks like Retesu, but after only a few minutes of talking to her, shows me that Bridget, isn't any thing like Retesu. So the minute you get your girl, and I get my lap-top, Im jilting her"…
Silence filled the room. After what seemed like a lifetime Bridget sighed "So…Retesu must be something, Im sorry Im not anything like her" she said softly putting down the camera.
"Bridget wait" Pai frantically cried "Just listen to me, I…" Bridget held up her hand to shush him "No, stop" she said a little louder, keeping her face surprisingly neutral "I think I've heard enough. Ill go now"
"Wait Bridget let me explain…" he tried again but Bridget cut him off "I know Im no beauty Pai-sempai but…when I was with you I felt happy" she paused as she heard the rain begin to hit the windows "too bad it was all a lie." She sighed and laughed to herself "you know, I came over here to tell you something important, but you don't really deserve to hear it now." she opened the door
Pai once again tried to stop her but this time he stopped. The look in her eyes were too much, so heartbroken and sad. And it nearly killed him to remember it was because of his "goodbye Pai-sempai" she said quietly "and don't worry about having to 'jilt' me, because I wont appear in front of you again unless necessary"
And with that she shut the door behind her. Pai rushed to the window to see Bridget running into the rain and out past the gates and his heart was gripped with a ghostly coldness as he watched the girl he loved walk away from him.
