Date Posted: 15:42:28 08/30/06 Wed In reply to: TJ 's message, "(Fics) E-mails" on 09:45:36 08/30/06 Wed (This one took a while as well... Song copyrighted to Kelly Clarkson, blah blah blah and all of that utter crap.) ((Authors Note: Not my best work. I enjoyed writing it though, so bear with me, and dont mock me about it! I think that all of the scenes were a little... awkward.)) Tige sat in the now empty apartment, the stereo blasting, and her long hair falling straight around her slightly tanned shoulders, and her low riding PJ pants, and tight fitting tank were still on. Hey? It was only 10:00 am! Miss self-sufficient Miss keep your distance, Mmmm Miss unafraid Miss out of my way Miss don't let a man interfere, no Miss on her own Miss almost grown Miss never let a man help her off her throne As she laboriously painted her toenails, her thoughts turned back to… him. He was the only guy that made her… she didn’t know, feel like Tige. Like she could be the tigress that she was. To be able to show her flaws and gems for all the world to see. When all the rest turned her into a hissing, spitting, claws out, grumpy, flirty bitch. She had let the entire world it seemed know that no guy was ever going to have to be her Prince Charming, and sweep her off her feet. She'll never, ever feel rejected Little miss apprehensive Said ooh, she fell in love What is this feeling taking over? Thinking no one could open the door Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive? Goodbye, old you, when love, is true But now… she would give anything for her Prince to come. Well, he might not have a stallion, but a wolf-dog worked just as well. She could feel herself going giddy just thinking about him! She didn’t know why he had called, but had just seemed… so… serious on the phone. This wasn’t just a random spur of the moment question, this had been thought about for a long time. Usually, anyone calling her up, and wanting to talk… she hung up. Trying to use a pick up line, would kill your chances faster than she could. He though, could say anything, and she would laugh, or roll her eyes. Miss play it smart Miss if you want to use that line, you better not start, no But she miscalculated She didn't want to end up jaded And this miss decided not to miss out on true love As she got up and walked to her room, her heart pounded in her chest, and her pulse was fluttering. Going through her closet, not a thing seemed to look good, and whatever she pulled on just looked terrible in her eyes, or made her skin look even paler. Frustrated, she just left her pajamas on. It’s not like anyone really cared, who was she trying to kid? She went in a new direction And found inside, she felt a connection She fell in love The last time he had dated someone, it had sucked. And the girl was... A girl. Well, duh. But, the girl had looked exactly like her- but, was a complete idiot. What had happened to her? She had used to be extremely easy around him, just able to talk, but now it seemed to be much more awkward. It had never bugged her seeing all of her friends talk about their guys, and watching the different relationships, never expecting to ever be involved in one. Or wanting to, but now… It was one of the few things that she wished for. Thinking no one could open the door Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive? Goodbye, old you, when love, is true (when love, is true) Tige brushed a strand of bronze hair away from her face angrily. What was wrong with her? It was not a difficult statement to grasp. She was not in any way interested in him romantically. Not at all. She was not falling for him. A nagging voice in the back of her head argued with her. You already did. Sitting down on the edge of the bathtub, she took a deep breath. Bloody hell, her life couldn’t just have a nice normal tone to it. She had fallen in love with her closest friend’s cousin. Damn. This was not- or, was, or wasn’t, good. She was completely confused. First, they fought. Then, he kissed her, and apologized. And now, ever since she had come back- here, they had barely said a word to each other. She put her head into her hands. No time for love that came her way She looked in the mirror and thought today What happened to miss no longer afraid? A knock came at the door, hesitant and quiet. She answered, and stopped almost completely dead in her tracks. She had never seen anyone look so serious in her life, and it wasn’t something that she had ever expected to see on him of all people. Or, maybe she would, he could be pretty serious at times. Brushing a few stray strands of hair out of her face, she stepped aside, motioning for him to enter. But, he stepped only into the doorway, seeming not trusting himself to go any further. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, and his shoulders were slumped. Glancing up from where her gaze had hit the ground suddenly, she now noticed that he was staring at her intently, and her first instinct told her to run and hide under her bed, and never ever come out again, but the second one told her to wait, and hear him out. How beautiful love could truly be No more talk of why can't that be me I'm so glad I've finally seen As she considered all of this in her mind, she almost missed his first words, which came out in a steady rush, like it was the only way he could handle saying this at all. “Look Teej, I just want to know, its been bugging me ever since we got back from your crazy insane house, and I know that I’m going to sound like an idiot but I really have to ask…” He stopped, and taking a deep breath, began again. “I want a simple, totally decided, definetly yes or no answer, please. Are you at all- in any way shape or form, interested in going out with me?” You probably could have tapped Tige, and she would have fallen unconscious. That’s pretty much an accurate summary of how she felt, considering that this was the last question she had expected anyone to ever address her way, and now that the guy of her dreams was asking it, she found herself unable to answer at all. She wanted to scream yes at the top of her lungs with all of her heart, but she had to consider the future. What if he decided that he wasn’t interested anymore, but couldn’t figure out how to break it off with her? What then? He’d be stuck with her, that’s what. As her mind raced, she could feel the change in his mood go from anxious to disappointed in seconds, and he sighed. “I knew that I was being stupid.” Tige glared at him, and he looked up. “Hey! I haven’t said anything yet, so shut your mouth!” He took a slight step backwards in fear, and shut his mouth. “Quite honestly, I would love to say yes. But, a month from now, are you still going to be interested? In a week will you?” She asked, putting words to all of her unspoken fears. “Yes.” “Are you positive?” “Yes.” “Then I’ll give you my answer in a month.” Then, she shut the door. He stood out there for a few seconds, blinking, trying to figure out exactly what had just happened. And then realized that he was going to have to put up with another month of not talking to Tige, hanging out with Tige or doing anything with Tige without it being extremely awkward. He glared at the closed door, and started to pound on it, and stopped abruptly when it was flung open again. Tige was standing there, her face flushed with happiness, or anger, he couldn’t tell, and she wouldn’t meet his eyes. “Kenshin! I just don’t know! Am I supposed to?” She met his gaze, and silently pleaded for him to give her time, give her space. He sighed again. “If you promise to give me a truly honest answer by the 31st, I’ll leave you alone until then, okay?” She nodded, and wrapped her arms around a stuffed animal, that from the looks of it was a tiger (surprise, surprise) and slowly closed the door with her foot. Thinking no one could open the door Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive? Goodbye, old you, when love, is true When love is true… A month later… It was the thirty-first, and Tige was again sitting alone in her apartment, anxiously awaiting the arrival of what this day was going to bring. Her hair had gotten longer, and she might have gotten a cold a week ago, but she was still the same that she had been a month ago when she had been first asked the question that had left her mind torn into a million little pieces. And, now she had to have an answer. She knew that she’d probably say yes, but you never knew, why plan in advance? As the long anticipated knock came on the door again, she opened the door, and was overcome by an extreme sense of deja-vu. She pulled her hair away from her face, and as Kenshin stared back at her, she slowly nodded, once, twice and finally for a third time before stopping and staring down at the floor, blushing, a small smile growing on her face. Kenshin grinned, and Kau, sitting by his feet started to wag his tail energetically. There has to be something said about Prince Charming exchanging his noble steed in for an adorable dog, because in Tige’s opinion, the pair that she was watching were much more to her liking.
