Chappie number deux!
Hopefully I can get one chappie for each verse of the song.
*sings along to the song*
Disclaimer:…I pity the lawyer who wants to sue me over this…
Dun dun dun…
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would on the beach in our bare feet,
We were both eighteen and it felt so right
Sleeping all day staying up all night,
Staying up all night.
Lily had never felt comfortable in these fancy restaurants.
She looked from her plate to the door and back again. Feeling uncomfortable she reached for the wine glass filled with water. As she sipped she felt eyes watching her, probably wondering why she was alone.
Where was the stupid asshole?
She chanced another uncertain glance toward the door.
She leaned back in her seat and let her mind wander to that morning. She had had a strange urge to look through an old album that was mainly focused on her Radio Free days. Days when she was inseparable from Ray.
It was strange. She had been thinking a lot about Ray lately.
She was shaken out of her reverie by a hurried kiss on her cheek.
"Oh my god Lily I am so sorry—"
She glanced at her watch, barely registering the fact that he was forty-five minutes late.
"Look Mike…it's getting late…"
"Lily! Just wait!"
"What? You know I don't feel comfortable in these places."
"I just-I just wanted this to be special."
"Wanted what to be special?" she asked, eyebrow raised.
"I just-We've been together for a few years…and I just…"
"What Mike? Just spit it out!"
And with that, he dropped. For a minute she thought that he had fallen over. But when she looked down she saw him kneeling on one knee.
"Oh my god," she whispered.
"Lily, I really do love you. And I want to be with you for-well forever," he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. "Lily," he said softly, his voice slightly short of breath, "will you marry me?"
For a moment she pictured Ray instead of Mike kneeling before her. She quickly shook her head and let a smile cross her face.
"Oh Mike, of course I will!"
If I could find you nowThings would get better
We could leave this town
And run forever
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah.
Happy holidays ppl!
Now…presents for me…REVIEWS!
