Prompt #274 (Song) Are you ready for love – Elton John
"Why are you playing this song?" A hard tone entered her voice as her blue green eyes locked onto the warm chocolate ones across from her. Her body stiffened.
"It's just on." Veronica shrugged. She sighed. "I'll change it." She reached for her iPod.
"Leave it!" Betty snarled out.
Veronica's eyes swifted and locked on the swirling blue green ones. "B?" She whispered.
Betty shook her head. "Nothing."
"It's something." Veronica rested her head against her headboard.
Betty folded her arms across her chest. "I said it was nothing."
'I'll write a symphony, Just for you & me …"
"I hate this song. Turn it off." Betty closed her eyes tightly.
Veronica quickly turned her iPod off.
"Don't turn it off … just that song." Betty sighed.
Veronica looked at her iPod and quickly delted that song from her playlist … she prayed that the next song would sooth Betty's soul. Her dreams died where Are you ready for love was for her dreams for her and Betty. She looked towards Betty with her finger still on her iPod just in case Betty needed another song change; but she could see Betty's body relaxing all ready. She moved her hand to rest in her lap.
Betty's eyes opened slowly. "Sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry for." Veronica shrugged her shoulders.
"It's just that song was playing when my parents informed me that they kicked Polly out of the house; and they didn't tell me why." Betty crawled over to rest her head against Veronica's lap. She needed her best friend's fingers in her hair. She needed to rest against Veronica. Her face turned to burry itself into the shorter brunette's stomach. She sighed at the feel of the brunette's fingers through her hair.
Veronica vowed to herself to never allow that song to be played around Betty …. not when she was around to prevent it. She leaned down to gently place her lips against Betty's warm cheekbone.
