Eighteen Candles (pt 30)

finally woken1

puddles of sunlight2

dot the rippled sheets3

hanging half way4

off the bed.5

I can tell it's no long morning.6

good afternoon7

opening the door8

music sweeps itself inside9

my room10

classical waltz11

mom's usual afternoon noise\included with12

tea and lemon cake.13

You can tell she's spent too much14

time overseas in London.15

prying shorts and a wrinkled 16

t-shirt from the pile under my bed17

I pinch myself to make sure18

that I am not dreaming.19

Alright-20

I know that I am not21

but it seems like it.22

Beethoven's symphony nine23

greets me before mom24

who plants lip stick red kisses25

on both my cheeks26

'Afternoon pillow head,' jokes mom27

I know my hair is a bit28

sloppy but I really could care less.29

turning around30

Zale's sitting there at31

the table, eating a sandwich.32

and he's smiling.33

'Hey you.'34

me grinning like a clown 'Hey.'35

'Nice hair.'36

'Shut up.'37

he laughs.38

Nope. Wasn't dreaming.39

***40

where we want to be41

mom leaves us alone42

to have lunch together.43

We're supposed to be discussing44

matters at hand45

but instead we're46

smiling47

and blushing48

like two people on their49

first date50

nervous51

and excited 52

at the same time53

me leafing through magazines54

him eating55

neither speaking56

Beethoven ends57

and I turn the dial58

to 107.959

boulevard of broken dreams60

singing from the boom box speakers61

Zale mutters62

'I hate that song.'63

and I increase the volume 64

and he frowns.65

I smirk.66

now what?67

we're supposed to be talking68

but we're not.69

early this morning he was serious70

and I was tired71

now we're acting goofy72

throwing Fritos73

we already said sorry74

but I feel like I need to repeat 75

those words again76

'I'm sorry...for not telling you.'77

Zale sighs, pushing his plate aside.78

'It's- okay. I forgive you. I mean-I was mad...79

but...it doesn't matter now. That was then, this is now.80

Let's focus on that. Forget it all the drama.'81

phew!!! 82

He doesn't know how glad83

I am to hear him say that.84

Or maybe he does.85

But jeez, he doesn't know86

how much of a drama queen87

I've been.88

'I want to be here,' he adds ' for you, for the baby.89

This is where I want to be.'90

he looks at me91

desperately.92

'I really want to be here.'93

He's trying to 94

convince me that his 95

words are genuine96

sincere.97

There's no reason to doubt98

that he doesn't.99

'This is where I want you100

to be. Here with me.'101

He smiles102

squeezing my hand103

meaning that everything is104

alright now.105

'I love you.' he says later106

too overwhelmed with joy107

and relief108

I kiss him.109

    I'm not sure. I'd rather not try to assume what sex the baby is!!! And you're right, bands can't pay for everything. As for if they'll make it through: Can't tell you that. But if they came together again, I'm sure they'll make it through no matter what.
