↱ Not So Secret Love ↲

Capítulo 8.

Se coloca frente al escenario luciendo algo nervioso, le da un asentimiento al DJ a su lado quien también le desea suerte con una sonrisa blanca y el pulgar arriba. Entonces Love Really Hurts Without You de Billy Ocean es la que comienza a escucharse. Sus ojos se fijan en los míos mientras una sonrisa resplandeciente llena de amor y ternura se forma en mis labios, recargo mis codos sobre la mesa inclinándome un poco hacia delante para mirar mejor a Noah.

El sabe cuánto me gusta esa canción, no sólo por la letra tan romántica y cursi, sino por el ritmo que te anima a moverte libremente junto a la persona que tanto amas y por la que respiras. Comienza a cantar sin dejar de mirarme e intentando no dejarse llevar por la presión de todas las miradas encima, principalmente la mía.

—You run around town like a fool and you think that it's groovy
You're givin' it to some other guy who gives you the eye
You don't give nothin' to me, you painted a smile
You painted a smile and you dress all the while to excite me
But don't you know you're turning me on
I know that it's wrong, but I can't stop this pain inside me—todos aplaudimos o nos movemos al ritmo de la canción—Baby, love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts without you,
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do, baby,
Love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you—me señala directamente provocando más gritos. Mis mejillas se encienden aún más por la atención sobre mí, pero eso pasa a segundo plano al oír a Noah cantar para mi. Todo pasa a segundo  plano cuando se trata de él—You walk like a dream and you make like you're queen of the action
You're using ev'ry trick in the book the way that you look
You're really something to see,
You cheat and you lie to impress any guy that you fancy,
But don't you know I'm out of my mind, so give me a sign
And help to ease the pain inside me—con el micrófono en mano, baja del escenario para moverse entre las mesas y llegar hasta nosotros. Bajo las atentas y sonrientes miradas de todos, se hinca frente a mi para continuar cantando, toma una de mis manos para acariciarla suavemente—Baby, love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts without you,
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do, baby,
Love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you
Baby, love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts without you,
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do, baby,
Love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do
Baby, love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts without you,
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do, baby,
Love really hurts without you,
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart.
