Chapter 10: A little bit of twin action
"Thank you,"
I looked up and saw Daniel smiling shyly at me. I can't help but chuckle at his shy behavior,I mean come on, he was too cute to be shy! You might be wondering why he's thanking me. Well, let's just say that I saved his life again.
I smiled at him as he sat beside me, "For what?"
He blushed,yet again " You know, for saving me." he paused for a second, then rolled his eyes "Twice" he muttered,embarrassed of that fact.
I laughed at his discomfort, "You're Welcome,sire" I said in a fake british accent
He smiled and looked around as I did the same. It's been already been half an hour since I saved Daniel from his unconscious state. I glance at each and everyone of them,they were huddled in a circle, laughing and talking. I finally met all the guys from the beach properly, as expected, that guy who looked a lot like Daniel is his older brother. His name's Harold, he's a year older than Daniel and their family just moved here two months ago. Daniel, as Harold would say, is a danger magnet. You leave for less than an hour and the next thing you know, he's already on his trip to the hospital. Daniel doesn't seem fazed about this, it's like he himself already knew that and accepts it entirely.
Beside Harold, is a guy named Ian. Brown eyes. Black hair. Just one glance at him, you could already tell that he's spanish. Well, in his case, half-spanish. Hence, his not-so-spanish name. He was born in mexico, where his parents met. But was raised here in california all his life. He says that when he has a free time, he goes to Mexico to visit his family and his parent's grave. Yes, how sad right? Both his parents are gone. His mother died giving birth to him, and that's actually the reason why his father brought him here. His dad had cancer by the time he was eight, and being so young, Ian didn't have a clue as to what was happening. So he was left here in california with his father's cousin. I could tell right now that he's a really great guy, he seems to be carefree even after all the things he's been through. He even offered me a free trip to Mexico next time he goes there! Which I gladly accepted.Well what can I say, I love Mexican food!
Across from Ian is a guy named Seth. Hmm,seth? One word: Surfer. One glance and you could already tell his life story. With his grey eyes and almost blonde hair, he already gives this whole 'I'm a surfer dude,' vibe. There's not much that he told me a while ago, all he said was "Me?My life rocks!". We all laughed at that. Apparently, Seth got addicted to surfing when he was about twelve when his dad taught him. His mother disapproved, of course. But that didn't stop Seth. His life practically revolves around the ocean. Okay, that sounded a bit wrong. But that was Kevin's words not mine, so blame him, not me!
Last but not the least is Dwayne. Hazel eyes and blonde hair. You could say that he takes hotness to a whole new level. And of course, a hot guy always results to being a what? Yep, a player. Kevin and Grey warned me about him. And that made me a little bit mad at them.Why,you ask? I mean,come on! He warns me right in front of Dwayne where he could perfectly hear every word dripping out of their mouths?! I don't know if he has a hearing problem or he simply doesn't care, cause after their fair warning, all they did was laugh. Which was weird from my point of view.
"Hey guys!" Kevin called,
I glanced at Daniel to see if he was fine with it, and he was smiling, so I took that as a yes. We both stood up and walked towards their huddle. I sat between Kevin and Grey as they both smiled at me. I would've sat anywhere but I'm still not comfortable with all of them. Yeah, they did share me their life stories and all, but that doesn't mean we're already buddy-buddy towards each other.
"What's up?" I asked Grey, I didn't notice that Grey was holding a brown guitar until now. He looked at me and I looked at him. That was enough understanding for me! We are twins, after all. We have this weird connection or something.It's almost like we can hear each other's mind...almost. But if we can read each other's mind, I wouldn't complain! I wouldn't mind being Jean Grey.Oh wait, that mean Grey would be Professor X? Eew, I shivered at that thought. Unless he'll be James McAvoy. Then we'll be Legend! Okay, I'm stopping my weird rant now.
"Oohhh! Grey's gonna sing! Grey's gonna sing!" We all laughed at Seth's childish behavior. He looked like a little kid who got a puppy on christmas.
I saw Grey debating on what he'll sing for a while, then I saw him glance at me for a second. I smirked, knowing exactly what he was thinking. "I got it!" He exclaimed,looking smug for a moment as he slowly strummed the guitar.
"On the other side of a street I knew,
Stood a girl that looked like you,
I guess that's deja vu,
But I thought this can't be true,
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe,
Or where ever to get away from me," Grey started, glancing at me every now and then. As he ends that stanza, he smirked at me and I smirked back and looked at the other guys, looking at Grey in awe.
"Oh but that one night,
Was more than just right,
I didn't leave you cause I was all through,
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell,
Because I really fell for you," As I sing the second part, I saw the other guys looking at me, shocked and disbelief written all over their faces. I would've laughed at their expression if I wasn't singing the chorus part.
"Oh I swear to you,
I'll be there for you,
This is not a drive by I-I-I-I,
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply,
Hefty bag to hold my I-I-I-I love,
When you move me everything is groovy,
They don't like it sue me,
The way you do me,
Oh I swear to ya,
I'll be there for ya,
This is not a drive by," Grey and I sang together, big smiles on our faces as we look at each other. Oh,how I missed him.
"Please believe that when I leave,
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you,
And a little time to get my head together too,
Oh I swear to ya,
I'll be there for ya,
This is not a drive by,
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply,
Hefty bag to hold my love,
When you move me everything is groovy,
They don't like it sue me,
The way you do me,
Oh I swear to ya,
I'll be there for ya,
This is not a drive by," As we end our song, all I did was stare at Grey. And I couldn't be more happier. I was overwhelmed that I almost forgot that there's a reason why I came here. How I wish that this whole dating thing was a dream.
