How to Rock a Secret
"How in the heck does this room keep getting so messy?" Stevie yelled in frustration.
I was jotting down lyrics on my notebook laying down side ways on the couch leaning on Zander, Zander was sitting forward on the couch, picking strings on his guitar trying to put together some chords. Kevin was playing random beats on his drums, while Nelson was being Nelson, playing "Row Row Row your Boat" on his key board. We were rehearsing for the new gig my Aunt booked us for next weekend. Stevie just walked in.
"I don't know ask the trash monster" I said plain mouthed, still focused on writing.
"Kace this isn't funny" she said.
"I never said it was" still focused on the writing.
"I set up a camera" she walked across the room, and pointed to the camera on the cabinet. She clicked "play". "So everyone will see what trash they've been leaving behind and you'll clean up your own mess" I noticed a little bit of a freaked tone in her voice. I stopped writing and looked at her.
"What's up with you?" I said worried.
"Nothing" Her face expression suddenly changed from freaked, to soft. "Nothing" she said again and shook her head. She saw I was really confused. "Kacey I said nothing, don't look at me like that"
"Stevie.." I hesitated. She squinted her eyes at me. "Okaay" I backed off.
She smiled "Thanks Kace" she smiled harder and put her books down. We all exchanged looks, thinking the same thing, "What's going on with her?".
"Um..so I think I have something for guitar" Zander spoke up. He put his guitar in position and started playing. Once we all started jamming to it Nelson put something together to go along with it. Stevie quickly grabbed her bass and started playing along too. Then Kevin jumped in. I looked at the lyrics I jotted down and started singing.
Baby
I been thinkin' lately
That you and me have been gettin' serious...
How come, whenever I'm around you
The butterflies in my stomach won't stop, I can't stop dreamin' boutcha'
I(hold) don't(hold) know what this is
But I(hold) like(hold) it(hold)
...
Could this be love, or am I confusing myself
I never thought that I could fall for someone else like you
When you're with me, invincibly, I'm flying
Could(hold) th-is be love
Could(hold) this(hold) be love(hold)
Everyone stopped and cheered. "Kace, that was amazing!" Zander said excited.
"Really?" I said surprised. I thought everyone was gonna think it was mushy. It was just something I scrapped down because...well me and Zander had been hanging out a lot and I kinda sorta developed feelings for him. I mean, he was smart, sweet, talented, sensitive, funny, and waayyy cute. I mean I've always thought he was cute but I never really felt so strongly for him. I wish I knew how he felt.
"Yea!" Kevin got up.
"Yea, it would be a great love song for Gravity 5. Keep it up Kace" Zanders winked at me. I smiled and blushed. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom" he said walking out of the room.
Then the bell rang, verifying school was officially over.
"Hey I'm gonna walk around the corner real fast to get some food since we're gonna be a while. Anyone want something?" Stevie asked, taking out her wallet and counting up how much money she had.
"Um, I just wanna an arizona tea, and 2 hot dogs. And a kitkat, and some oreos...and 2 popstar magazines. Oh and get me a water bottle just in case. I'll pay you back later?" I smiled wide. She looked at me with a straight face and shook her head.
"You're really lucky I love you" she smirked. I made a kissy face and went back to my lyrics. Then she turned to Kevin and Nelson "You two, I don't love as much. Either give me the money now and I'll buy you something, orrr come with me and pay yourself" she looked at them.
"We'll come with you" they both said.
"I think Zander would want something too" I said before they walked out.
"You've gotta point. I'll buy him something" she shrugged and walked out. Nelson and Kevin looked offended.
"What do you love him more too?" they went after her.
I vaguely heard her say "Yea, kinda!". I laughed to myself and continued writing.
Zander came back in. I looked up at him smiled and looked back at my paper and kept writing.
"Where'd everyone go?" he asked, walking further into the room and sitting next to me on the couch.
"They went to get food" I said. "I chose to stay here. I really need to finish up these lyrics" I told him.
He nodded, "Same. I've gotta get together these chords" he grabbed his guitar.
"Ya know, that doesn't look all that hard" I shrugged.
He gave me a look, "Oh really?"
"Yea. I mean strumming abunch of metal strings on a plasti or wooden surface. It doesn't seem to hard to me" I said to him.
Zander's POV
I smiled at her doubtingly "Oh, really?" I asked. She smirked and nodded. "Okay fine. If you think its so easy, play the chorus of Go With Gravity" I handed her my acoustic guitar. I was careful with it, "DON'T DROP IT" I said. She looked at me like "Dude chill". She stared at it for a minute. "Any day Kacey" I pushed her.
"I um, I need the notes" she looked at me. I smiled and handed her the paper with all the chords on it.
"For guitar, it's chords, not notes" I corrected her. She looked behind her shoulder.
"Well whatever!" she laughed, and so did I. She picked a few strings and finally gave up. "Okay maybe it's not that easy" she smiled again.
"Told you. I'd be willing to teach you if you wanna learn" I offered.
She nodded "Sure". She smiled. I love her smile. I actually love a lot about her. Her hazel silver eyes, her angel voice, her beautiful long hair, her cheek bones, her cleverness, her gorgeous face and shape, her edge, and her intelligence. Her bossy self-centered attitude is a huge turn on. I've liked Kacey for the longest time. She's so amazing. I just never thought she'd like a guy like me. I don't understand why not, I'm a hunk. It just seemed like she was out of my league.
"Ok so.." I said, "You have to hold it like this" I wrapped my arms around her and positioned the guitar. We both stopped and stared at each other for a second and blushed.
"Like this?" she asked placing it the way I asked. I just stared at her beautifulness for a second.
"Perfect" I got lost in her eyes. She blushed even redder. "I never noticed how angelic your eyes look up close" I said to her. She giggled.
"Thanks Zander" she said softly. "So how do I play?" she asked, snapping out of our moment.
I wrapped my arms back around her and put both my hands over hers. I spoke softly "Well you strum like this.." I moved the pick up and down on the strings. "And you put your thumb on the bottom of the neck like this..." I placed her thumb, "Rest your wrist but not too much. And you take your left hand, which in guitar term is your fret hand, and you put your fingers on the chords, and press.." we looked into each others eyes again. I couldn't take it anymore. Her lips are right there, just do it Zander. I leaned in tilting my head to the right, relieved she wasn't backing away yet, I moved my hand to her hip to pull her closer. Since I was behind her, the only other way she could lean in was to lean back in my chest, and that's what she did. Once our lips were right there, I made the move and kissed her. Her soft lips collided with mine, we slowly and gently switched head positions. We pulled away slowly, making a quiet smacking sound, and reunited again but more passionate this time. She turned to face me more since her head position wasn't easy to kiss with. We pulled away one minute later, looked into each others eyes, smiling. I just kissed Kacey Simmon.
She looked at me, then looked down and whispered "Wow". I lifted her chin up and pecked her lips once more, just leading to another long kiss. She put her hand on my neck, the other on my shoulder. I still had my hand on her hip, the other stroking her hair. Teasing her, I slowly slid my tongue out to stroke her lips, begging for entrance. She happily responded by smiling and opening up her lips, our tongues meeting for the first time in the kiss. We sweetly tongue kissed for a few minutes then retreated for air. We smiled at each other and both blushed a dark shade of red.
Kacey's POV
I pulled him in for another kiss, but he then kissed me on my cheek, kissed farther down till her got to my ear. He pulled on my ear and sucked it a little. A flash of nerve shot through my spine, when he blew in my ear. "Guess what?" he whispered.
"Mmm, what?" I said in delight.
"I really really like you" he responded. I breathed and smiled. I immediately pulled away. He looked confused.
"You like me?" I smiled hopefully.
"Well yeah. I've liked you ever since we met Kacey. You're amazing. And I can't believe this moment is actually happening right now" he smiled and looked down.
"What moment?" I asked eager.
"The moment I've always dreamed of...asking you out" he smiled and blinked.
"Well what are you waiting for? Do it" I asked smiling flirtatiously.
"Kacey Simon, will you go out with me this friday?" he asked.
I nodded "You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear that from you Zander" I smiled. "Of course I will"
He smiled wider. Then he kissed me, inhaling from his nose. We kissed for a few minutes then I pulled away and said, "Let's stop before someone walks in on us" I smiled and pecked his lips again. Then we got up and started thinking of more song ideas.
Want more? Review! :)
And those lyrics are original. It just popped in my mind while I was listening to an electric guitar solo. ;D
