Fire And Gold

Chapter 2

"You put me on a roller coaster, fly me on a plane

You send me to another planet, get inside my brain

I knew right when I met you I would never be the same

But I let you take me over, girl, so I'm the one to blame, oh

You... make all my screws come... loose

Got me perfectly con... fused

Always find a way to mess me up and drive me wild

I love the way you make me lose my mind

Lose my mind

You make me crazy and I kinda like it

You show me that apple, girl, and I wanna bite it

So crazy that I gotta have it

And I never wanna get out of this straitjacket

You... make all my screws come... loose

Got me perfectly con... fused

Always find a way to mess me up and drive me wild

I love the way you make me lose my...

I feel the walls closing in inside this padded room

Only good thing about it is I'm locked in here with you, yeah

I'm always watching you, wondering what you'll do next

But my favorite part about it is I always have to guess (you know I do)

You... you make all my screws come... loose

Got me perfectly con... fused

Always find a way to mess me up and drive me wild

I love the way you make me lose my mind

Make me lose my mind

Lose my mind

Make me lose my mind

Make me lose my mind

Lose my mind"

Everyone stud up and clapped for Dom. Of course I was the one to clap the loudest.

"Whoooo! Go Dom!" There were whistles and loud claps and yells. This is another amazing thing about Dom, he is an amazing singer. He sings to me every single Friday.

Dom got down from the stage and came to me. He put down his guitar (yes he plays the guitar too)and embraced me in a big hug and passionate kiss. Let me tell you, I could kiss Dom forever and never get enough. He is a really really good kisser. When he pulled away a little he looked me straight in the eyes. "What you think babe?" I softly kissed him again,"I am speechless. You were and always will be amazing." He hugged me tight again.

Just when I was about to tell him something a voice came over the speakers,"Hi everyone. My name is Matt. I am going to perform a song I wrote. Hope you guys enjoy."

I looked back at the stage and what I saw was someone I though in a million years I would see, MY childhood friend and former boyfriend Asher Powral.

I was so shocked that I let go and pulled away from Dom and went closer to the stage. His voice got way deeper and smoother. He still had his jet black hair put in a cow lick style which made him look really good, better than I care to admit. His hair made his bright green, and yes i mean green, eyes stand out. He must have tanned since I had seen him last because his skin was a light caramel color. The song he was playing was unother than any sing I have herd in my life

"I was there and then I wasn't.

I knew I hurt you and made you cry, but I did what was best.

I want you still but you don't want me

You hurt me, killed my soul, my heart.

It was a mistake leaving you

But it looks like you have moved on."

I was getting into the song when I felt Dom's arms wrap around my waist and I automatically leaned my head against his chest,"Why did you run off? You scared me there for a moment." I couldn't tell him about Matt, not yet,"I thought I saw someone I knew, but looks like my eyes were teasing me. Don't worry about it babe." I leaned up and kissed his lips. That seemed to satisfy him,"Okay, just warn me before you go running off next time." "Will do babe." We smiled at each other and I turned back around and put my head back on his chest and enjoyed the rest of the song.

When Matt was finished he stood up and bowed then stepped off the stage. People were still standing and clapping. "Hey babe, I'm gonna go outside to get some air." He got a worried look on his face,"You okay?" "Ya, it's just really warm in here." "You want me to go out with you?" "No i'll be okay." I was just stepping put the door when I herd a deep voice behind me,"Aislyn Richwood, well well well isn't this a pleasant surprise. Haven't seen you in what, 4 years." I turned around to look back at Matt,"Well and isn't it Asher Powrel. My your voice doesn't seem to crack as much as it used to." He shyly laughed,"Yeah, I guess puberty does that. So how have you been. By the way you look I can guess that you have had a great life so far?"

"Ya actually. Most popular girl in school, most academic, in almost every club and sport, my parents ad boyfriend and friends support me. So ya I guess you can say that the world has been really good to me." Okay I admit I sounded really snotty especially how I said it. Nut I really don't care.

"Wow, that's very impressive. That is almost the exact some thing for me except the fact i am single and have been for 4 years now."

"You know that actually shocks me. With all the ladies you seemed to atract before. You even had a hard time just keeping one."

"Okay let's forget about that. I was stupid and selfish. "

"You know what yes let's forget about it because without you in my life is just perfect. So do me a favor and stay out of it."

I was getting mad, and that is a very very big understatement. He knew he was getting into enemy terrtory with talking to me in the first place.

"Hey Asy, come on. It was a mistake. I was new to dating and I thought I could have the Yep girls I wanted at the same time.....I was stupid and selfish. "

He was feeding into the fire. He was making the situation worse.

"Yes you were. You were extremely stupid. If you wanted both of us at the same time and thought you could get away with it...that makes you look rediculous and frankly someone who shouldn't be graduating soon."

"I said I am sorry. I wasn't thinking back then. Now I know better." His head hung down in embarrassment and sadness.

" I forgave you already. let's just never bring this up again."

I didn't let him get another word out. I walked back into the cafe, back to Dom. He was sitting at our table watching another person sing when I came up to him.

" Hey Dom, could we go?"

"Ya sure, everything Okay?"

"Ya My mom would just like me to come home "

" Okay, let's go "

He put his arm around me and led me to the truck.
