If I had stayed in the room with Michael, I know I wouldnâ??t have taken a shower that night, but I did and went on to bed. The next morning I woke up on my own a little after eleven. I hadnâ??t picked out my outfit, but I chose capris, a tank-top, and sandals. Itâ??s kinda weird because itâ??s December, but once again this IS California! I fluffed up my hair, like a poodle, and I felt I was ready for the go. I was eating some breakfast Dad fixed, when Mom came storming down the stairs. â??Why didnâ??t you let me see what you were wearing before you came down here in it?!â? I looked down at my clothes. â??I thought it looked good enough.â? When it comes to pride and carrying her and whoever is with her in public, things have to be straight. Thereâ??s no â??half-assingâ? it, so I guess she felt that way. â??Lyric, I donâ??t care if everyone else is wearing shorts; you need to wear something else.â? I looked at my outfit again. If I told her fine, thatâ??s practically back-talk, so I just went up to my room, changed into a simple shirt, wore pants, and I kept on the sandals. â??Are you ready to go?â? I ask Michael. I donâ??t want no part of this again. â??Yeah.â? So I wait outside until the limo rolls up. When I look at him, he shrugs it off. â??I felt we would probably need it today.â? â??What is this, a clothing HAUL? Michael, I donâ??t need a new wardrobe.â? â??Well I plan on you a having an exceptional time.â? â??So?â? â??Shop up!â? he bends down and hugs me. â??Come on. Letâ??s go.â? I know he wanted to take my hand but we kept it subliminal for my parents sake and got in the limo. Once again he didnâ??t sit with Bill, though I spoke to him. Michael pilayed with his arms and legs stretched out. I sat to hisâ?¦right. I had to think about it. But as usual, the drive to our destiny was pleasant with him with me. Itâ??s like when you conversate with Michael, you get so happy that you become ecstatic, and you try not to try so hard. Plus I get giggly and silly around those Iâ??m attracted to. It helps to calm the nerves. We had just gotten out the car when Michael slipped me over some black shades. Before I took them, I looked over at him and smiled a little as I flared my nostrils like I do sometimes. â??Might as well. Youâ??re a celebrity now.â? â??Oh because Iâ??m Michael Jacksonâ??s girl.â? I joked as I slipped on the shades. â??Thatâ??s right.â? And he kissed my cheek. â??But we canâ??t wear them forever. I wanna be able to see.â? â??You big baby. Here take mine, theyâ??re brown.â? I scrunched up my eyebrows. â??You forever having shades.â? â??When youâ??re in my position, you need to.â? I tried my best not to be aware of whom we were under the shades. Anyhow, we went to different stores within the mall, and Iâ??d try not to pick out too much. So we decided on three shirts or anything similar to that and about one to two jeans or bottoms. What was next on my list was to find a bathing suit. We finally do. Itâ??s a fancy-looking purple two-piece. But while we were in there, I found this red and white striped, backless dress. â??Hey, this is casual but I like it.â? â??Then get it.â? Michael was sorta paying attention to the stuff I was getting. He would either walk off or hide behind one of the racks and surprise me. He would even hide in the clothes rack that I would look at, jump out, and tickle me. Thatâ??s how bored he seemed to be. â??Are you ready for lunch?â? he asks me. I look over at the clock hanging on the wall behind the cashier. â??Itâ??s AFTER lunchtime Michael.â? â??I donâ??t care. Do you want some?â? â??Sure.â? We take hands. â??What do you want get?â? â??Doesnâ??t matter.â? â??Are you sure about that?â? â??What does THAT suppose to mean?â? he pokes my shoulder. â??â?¦.I want you to enjoy the food without being uncomfortable around me.â? â??Oh that again!â? â??Well itâ??s true! How am I suppose to eatâ?¦bacon around you and feel okay about it.â? â??So you think I only strictly date vegetarians?â? â??Noâ?¦itâ??s just something that bothers me.â? It also rubs me the wrong way because we kind of see the world differently. â??Why does it so much? Do you think Iâ??ll love you less if you celebrate Christmas? Or eat a bunny. Or even a rodentâ?¦but I donâ??t know why you would. I like mice.â? That last part makes me shiver. â??Michael, rodents arenâ??t always treated with the best respect.â? â??I know.â? He nods. â??Now letâ??s get something. Iâ??m starving here.â? We had some Chick-fil-A. He learned Iâ??m crazy about that as well. â??Your mother thought about taking you.â? â??Why didnâ??t she?â? â??She thought you wouldnâ??t enjoy it as much. But please donâ??t tell her.â? â??I figured it could be thatâ?¦.â? â??Things need to look up for you two.â? â??Yeah well you see we havenâ??t killed each other yet. So weâ??ve congealed. I think weâ??re fine.â? I say sarcastically. â??Well, itâ??s true.â? â??And the same can go for you and your father! Stop telling me what I should do when I look up to you, and you donâ??t even get along with your own.â? Michael licked his lips once, and in that instance, he swallowed his distorted expression. â??You canâ??t say I didnâ??t try.â? â??Next time try with some success. Thatâ??s all Iâ??m saying. Are you done with your food?â? He looks at it. â??Yeahâ?¦I am. Youâ??re ready?â? â??I can say I am.â? And I smile. I take his tray for him. Afterwards we look through more stores. It was when we got home when I remembered about the Christmas gifts Iâ??ve been meaning to get. ~ â??I decided while youâ??re in Hawaii, Iâ??ll let you use my debit. But ONLY for emergencies.â? Dad tells me. And I know exactly what an emergency is right now: them Christmas gifts. â??But Iâ??ll hand it to you before you leave.â? â??Okay.â? Donovan told me the party would start at seven and end around ten. When I kept pressing to know who house we would be at, he only said it was at one of our friends. Then he said Iâ??d better make it or heâ??d â??kick my buttâ?. Before I was to leave for the party, I had to pack. I used Dadâ??s huge suitcase, which consisted with the stuff I got today and my older things. â??I see you got more dresses. Stuff like that.â? Mom says as she helps me pack. â??Told you I was trying to make a slight change.â? It was quiet as I was looking at the top of my closet. â??So how did it go when you were Michaelâ??s date for the premiere and ball?â? â??It was nice.â? â??I know it was more than just nice.â? â??I got to really know how he is. Heâ??s really nice andâ??â? â??Is close to his mom.â? She took the words out of my mouth. â??Yep. He isâ?¦.But they say those who are close to their mothers usually know how to treat girls.â? She hesitantly nods and says, â??True.â? I ride with Sherry and Patricia. â??I guess Dani is showing up with someone.â? I assumed as I sit in the back. â??Hope so. She really needs to know her options.â? Pat says. â??And what about you, Missy?â? I nudge Sherry. â??Girl, you know Iâ??m trying to make it to a MIT.â? She laughs. â??Me too, but that doesnâ??t mean I donâ??t know how to date.â? â??Girl, she wonâ??t listen. Iâ??ve been trying to tell her that.â? She was looking in the mirror and putting on some gloss. â??Gonna smooch much?â? I teasingly ask. She turns around and rolls her eyes. â??I might even give Austin a Christmas gift a few days early.â? â??Aw, not on the night I leave for Hawaii.â? She turns around. â??Oh, you leaving tonight?â? I shrug and smile â??Suppose to be. After I leave the party, Iâ??ll go back to my house, and weâ??ll do last minute skimming then leave for the airport and take a commercial flight.â? She looks at me blankly for a second, then she nods. â??We really need to hang out this breakâ?¦before Michael gets you pregnant.â? I gasp. â??Or Jerâ??â? â??Shush!â? Sherry says as I hear Pat mumble â??maineâ?¦.â? â??We saw you dancing with him!â? she giggles. â??SO?!â? â??You know you had a little crush on him.â? â??When I was YOUNGER! Everybody did. But then he got marriedâ?¦.Not the best look.â? I shrug. â??Now drive faster!â? I bark at Sherry. Even before we get into the house, the music was already booming. It was actually locked when Sherry tries twisting the door open, so she knocks and ring the doorbell. Donovan answers. I can hear â??Halfway Thereâ? in the background. â??Heeey!â? he tells us. But as I try to get in the door, he leans his left arm on the doorframe and blocks me. He cups his right hand under my chin and kisses me. I actually decide to kiss him back. â??Hey.â? I smile. â??Come on in!!!â? â??Hey, this house is so cute and small!â? the house was even decorated with Christmas lights and objects in the yard with some fake snow. â??Thanks!â? â??Whose is it?â? He ignores me and walks me further in the house. â??Dance with me.â? And we dance to the bandâ??s song, â??Famousâ?. I start singing first. â??Hey get us a mic!â? he shouts to Jerome. I shake my head real quick, but he wonâ??t stop, so I grab it and we sing it together on the dance floor. I had to really close my eyes so I could concentrate on how my voice should sound. He does the speaking part until the end of the song. We hug. Then I hug the rest of the band. â??Now where is the Christmas songs?â? I jokingly ask Donovan. â??Itâ??s a mixture.â? â??But this house really IS cute.â? â??Thanks.â? ~ It really wasnâ??t a lot of people at the house, so before long, a group of us got together in a circle. We had just sat down when the door rings. Donovan answers. Danielle and this kid from school, Sav Bhandari. Sav is nice, and heâ??s really smart too. I try not to make it noticeably, but I saw I wasnâ??t the only one who looked over at Jerome. I knew he was a little crushed. Plus I wasnâ??t really sure if Danielle was dating Sav. She couldâ??ve just invited him. He and Sav are good friends, and they are highly competitive against each other. After games like Truth or Dare?, we finally play the notorious Spin the Bottle. When it landed on me when Austin spun it, I only giggled. A lot of the time, we wouldnâ??t kiss each other, depending on who it was. It seems that soon after, we decided on â??Seven Minutes in Heavenâ?. But before then, â??Post Officeâ? or â??Postmanâ??s Knockâ? was suggested, but whoever favored it kept getting voted against, and I was one of those who didnâ??t want to play that game. Itâ??s not like we wouldâ??ve played by the rules strictly. I was just hoping we wouldnâ??t. But we couldnâ??t escape â??Seven Minutes in Heavenâ? no matter what, so I was like, why not? Plus a lot of the time, people donâ??t even do anything in the dark space. â??Well since you kept voting against everything, why donâ??t you go in the closet with me?â? Nick says. I shake my head. â??Are you NUTS?â? Everyone else instigates by saying â??Ooohâ?. I roll my eyes. â??Come on in the closet with me.â? he lightly says teasingly. But we ALL know Nick is a flirt anyways. He takes my hand and as soon as I step into the closet after him, the door closes almost on my heel. â??There! Seven minutes in Heaven starts NOW!â? I could tell that was Patricia who said it. It sounded like a lock was being made on the outside. Nick pulls a string. â??Oh thank God, weâ??ve got a light in here!â? â??Yeah.â? he giggles. â??There is one.â? I look away with my legs crossed in-front of me. Nick starts sitting the same. â??Soâ?¦how does it feel to get this first semester out the way?â? â??It feels goodâ?¦no weird instead.â? I respond. He acts like he is drawing on the floor. â??Yeah, I know what you mean. Before you know it, SENIORS!â? then he takes his hands to his head, and with the middle and pointer finger, he acts like he shoots himself. I start to laugh. â??Oh Nick, you are so silly!â? He laughs as well. â??I knowâ?¦.You didnâ??t say much last night.â? â??Ohâ?¦.I was a bit withdrawn.â? â??That I could see!â? â??Yeahâ?¦I know.â? â??How are you feeling now?â? â??Iâ??m better.â? â??Yeahâ?¦it gets better with time. I know because itâ??s not always easy with Naima. Sometimes I wanted to just splurge and get back with her.â? I nod. With the quick silence, I notice â??Save You Tonightâ? had been playing. â??You know I like that song.â? â??â??Feverâ??,â? I asked because Peggy Leeâ??s version was on. â??Well, yeah this too, but I was talking about â??Save You Tonightâ??.â? â??Why?â? â??Because I think about you sometimes.â? Moving from that awkward moment, I start singing the part when Peggy mentions Pocahontas and Captain Smith. He starts to laugh because he knows Iâ??m trying to ignore him. Nick is about to say something when I hear Etta James sing her classic â??At Lastâ?. I start to sing it with her as I close my eyes. I try thinking about Nick since he was in the closet with me, but instead, I think about Michael. I open my eyes as I saw Nick had scooted closer to me. His legs were on both sides of me. â??I see for once you donâ??t have a blazer on.â? â??Itâ??s the holidays!â? He was wearing red pants, black shoes, and a light-brown, knit sweater. â??You know seven minutes have passed.â? â??I know they donâ??t really care HOW long weâ??re in here.â? â??Wellâ?¦truth or dare?â? â??Truth.â? He smirks. â??Whatâ??s yourâ?¦worst habit?â? He pausesâ?¦then he answers. â??Getting naked all the time.â? He says bluntly and matter-of-factly with a smile and a complete nod. I give him a big-eyed look. â??Yep. What youâ??ve hear about me from the other guys are true!â? â??Now truth or dare for you? Oh I choose dare!â? Then he pushes my shoulders back. â??I have a question for you.â? â??Yeah?â? I ask. â??What would you do if I grew a rock?â? â??Huh?â? â??You know what I mean! I look down. Though there was nothing there, I knew what he meant. â??Iâ??d slap you. Because I donâ??t want to be down with that.â? Heâ??s still sitting on me. Then he lifts us up. â??Truth or dare?â? â??Nick, itâ??s my turn.â? â??Truth or dare?â? he repeats again more assert. â??Ugh, you choose.â? â??Are you attracted to me?â? â??Why?â? â??Are you?!â? I look off to the side. He looks at me though I try to wait it off. Then he touches my neck with his fingers and leans forward. After lightly biting my ear where it the earring would go, he moved to my neck. All lies put aside, my eyes instantly rolled because if the sensation. â??Does Donovan know about this?â? â??Donovan doesnâ??t even want you.â? he looks at me. â??Or couldâ??ve already had you in the beginning.â? I try closing my eyes again. â??How do you know that?â? I ask in a whisper. â??Because I wouldnâ??t even be thinking about you BECAUSE of that.â? He faces me again and gives me a peck, but his perfect teeth linger on my bottom lip. â??NICHOLAS?!â? I hiss. â??Shh,â? he put his finger his lips. He sat me on his lap. Then with his head tilted to the right. I literally feel Nickâ??s wet tongue, and I shiver. I remember how my older cousin told me she doesnâ??t do the whole tongue-kissing thing and I canâ??t really blame her either when you feel as sinful as me. Then I feel his hands move under my red, Christmas sweater. They slide over my bra hook, and I feel him unfasten it. I pull away and I see his brown eyes are actually boring into my soul. THAT made me pull his face to mine and made me kiss him with confidence. Nick looks at my thighs and rubs his hands up and down them. He pushes us back on the wall as I feel his hands slide up my back again as my hands are tangled into his hair. Iâ??m glad I didnâ??t wear my Chastity ring or it wouldâ??ve defeated the purpose, but I did pack it in the suitcase when Mom wasnâ??t looking. He laid me down. â??If we werenâ??t in this closet here at this party, I wouldâ??ve let you slipped my pants off.â? When he goes to kiss me again, I turn my head. Then I squeeze his lips together so they would look like a fish. â??Is that why you want to be with me? Youâ??re only attracted to me?â? He sits up and sits me up, so I lean on the wall. â??I was always attracted to you. But like I said, I was with Naima. Plus you licked chocolate from my finger, so I thought you liked me.â? I look at my knees. â??I do Nickâ?¦only a little. But itâ??s probably only attraction.â? He shakes his head. â??No. Not for me. And Iâ??m glad youâ??re the first black girl I was ever with.â? I think about what Iâ??m going to say. â??So what was this to youâ?¦a hookup?â? â??I could easily say yesâ?¦but no. It was more than that. Like I said, I actually like you and Iâ??d like to take you somewhere nice. But it seems I canâ??t right nowâ?¦.So I guess Iâ??ll just have to wait.â? He leans forward again and kisses me softly. I guess this means this is the end. I stand up and before I go to open the door, he hooks my bra for me and kisses the hook. He turns me around, pecks me again. When I go to open the door, I try to look as if nothing happened. When I close the door, I see Nick sitting on the floor like nothing happened. â??Seven Minutes in Heaven seemed more like fifteen minutes! Probably twenty!â? Pat says. I try to laugh it off. â??No. Weâ??re just not mean to each other anymore. Heâ??s actually funny. Then I go to the kitchen and pour some punch. Jerome is in there too. â??If you want to be with her, you have to step up Jerome. Thereâ??s no other choice.â? â??I knowâ?¦but I just get soâ?¦you know, nervous.â? â??Then just go up to her!â? I say as I walk him towards her and push him to her. Itâ??s edging closer to ten, and I try staying around the girls more as we finally hear more Christmas songs. We had painted plastic angels and put them on the trees. Michael was going to get me, so I was saying bye to my friends. I decided to stand right out the door for a little, when I remembered Nick had gone out there earlier. I saw he was holding someoneâ??s child. So I walked up to them. â??Whose baby?â? â??My cousinâ??s. Sheâ??s letting me see them before they fly up to Denver tomorrow.â? â??Oh. In a cabin for the holidays?â? â??Yep.â? He nods. So for a little, I decide to watch him interact with the little boy. â??Heâ??s cute.â? â??Thanks.â? â??Wanna hold him?â? he says after a little. â??Oh sure!â? I faintly hear â??Sweet Thingâ? by Chaka Khan from the house. The baby started crying at first, but I tried my best to quiet him down, so I rocked him. Finally he quiets down. â??Youâ??re a natural.â? â??Are you ready for this?â? I ask him. â??Why?â? â??Because at that pace you had us in that closet, we werenâ??t far from it.â? I joke as I give nervous jitters. He doesnâ??t say anything. â??Where is your cousin anyway?â? â??She went to the store but sheâ??ll be back.â? â??Well this isnâ??t a place to have a baby.â? I was about to walk them in the house when I heard a car behind pull up at the end of the driveway. It was his cousin. As I hand her child to her, she looks gracious. Then I go to the porch as I wait for Nick to give his cousins his goodbyes. When they drive away shortly after, he motions for me to follow him. â??So is this a date to you? Remember you said you kiss on the first date.â? â??Well I splurged this time too.â? He looks at me. â??Because this isnâ??t a date. I just want to kiss you so bad. Other than making good music, I want to make you happy.â? He had us against a tree. â??Why didnâ??t you ever tell me you felt that way?â? â??Because Iâ??m the dude. And I didnâ??t want to give myself away so soon. Now I just donâ??t give a damn anymore. I like you Lyric, donâ??t you know that?! And I want you to know that.â? We see headlights approaching near. â??And I want you to know that when you get back, Iâ??ll be waiting.â? As I walk away because I sense itâ??s Michael, Nick says, â??And I told Donovan I would see if you got left safely, so thatâ??s why he isnâ??t out here with you.â? I turn around to wave one more time. Michael opens the door for me with a bright smile. â??How was it?!â? â??Oh, it was exciting and fun.â? You know, the usual. Never know whatâ??s going to happen but you go with the flow and try to ride it out. â??You sure thatâ??s all it was?â? â??Oh you know thereâ??s ALWAYS extras.â? â??Okay, well letâ??s get to it then.â? He backs out and drive us home. â??I was late getting here because I was talking with your dad.â? â??Oh okay.â? I shrug it off. Once we get home, things are a little hectic and tense as we check for our last minute stuff. â??Go on and say bye to your room. You wonâ??t see it for a while.â? So I do. I jump towards my bed and kiss it. â??Bye bed. Bye dresser. Bye mirror.â? I continue on my rampage as Mom laughs. â??Girl you are crazy. Letâ??s go.â? So I do with my suitcase and other bags. I peek into every room before I go down the steps. When I passed by the bathroom again, I think to gargle my mouth with Listerine and wiped my lips off a couple of times so I could start off clean and fresh. â??Ready to go?â? Dad asks. â??Yup.â? He left the TV on the news. We take the limo again with Bill as the driver. Once we get to the airport, we had to wait for about an hour. It was 11:45 when the woman announcer said, â??The flight to Hawaii is about to take off. Please, if you plan on getting on it, board the plane.â? Once again, Michael was about to have me board a plane to some faraway place. I wonder if itâ??ll always be this way. â??Well guys, give me one more hug.â? Mom says. Then she kisses our cheeks again. â??Donâ??t do anything stupid.â? She firmly tells us. â??And I canâ??t wait to know how Katherine is enjoying the trip, too.â? I glance at Michael real quick. Dad hugs me again like I was REALLY his only child. His only little girl. â??Daddy, I get it.â? I giggle as I have to let him go. â??Weâ??re gonna be late if you donâ??t let me go.â? He shrugs. â??Okay baby girl.â? Then he gives Michael a half hug and pats his back. â??Remember what I said, son.â? Dad is looking Michael directly into his eyes. â??Yes sir. I remember.â? Dad gives me another hug, then he waves us off. I can tell heâ??s a little sad and I see a glaze of a tear in the corners of BOTH of his eyes. I turn around once more and I hugged them bye. I kinda felt like I made my peace with them for the time being. Then I felt Michael lightly lay his hand on the back of my shoulder. â??Come on.â? he lightly whispers to me. I tilt my jaw towards him. Then I smile. â??Okay.â? I whisper back as I swallow the butterflies fluttering in my chest. 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 *I meant to say in the last part, I think I would like Courtney Cox to be the chorus teacher, Mrs. Vinson. Just picture her with a black bob with flawless sassiness. Sheâ??s also a mentor to Lyr. Also from the last part, I give credit to Carly Rae Jepsen for â??Call Me Maybeâ?. The same goes for Big Time Rush for â??Halfway Thereâ? and â??Famousâ?. I borrowed the character Sav Bhandari from the show â??Degrassiâ?. He is played by Raymond Ablack. Also, all credits are given where they are due. Until next time because I couldnâ??t hold off any longer~Aariyan.
