The Sweet N' Nasty Tale 1

The news is still embargoed about the sudden change of the government system. A federal country turned into monarchy. There are still issues about it. I don't know what they are arguing about. But what I know it is the final decision. 

I don't care about that monarchy-thingy, today is our first anniversary. Delten is my boyfriend. He's sweet and rude. He's still cute. I fetch for my cell phone and call him. When he didn't answer, I leave a message saying how much I miss him and remind him of our plans this day. He said we will be going to the amusement park, ride every ride, and watch their grand fireworks. Wait his apartment is just on the opposite street. I'll surprise him. 

I find Mom sitting on the couch reading the Sunday papers, cross legged. 

"Queen Brooke reined the new leader," Mom murmurs, reading the headline. 

I plugged my earphones to avoid listening to her I-am-Einstein's-sister-and-must-listen-to-me speech. I scroll down, searching the music I want to listen to. Hmm. Cher Lloyd - Want U Back, not now. Lego House! Yes! I love this song. It's a cover by Boyce Avenue. I hit play. The sharp sound of the electric guitar zips in, and then Alejandro started the song. 

I'm gonna pick up the pieces, 

and build a lego house 

when things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings, 

there's one thing on my mind 

It's all for you 

"Mom I'll just give this to Delten. I'll be back soon." 

She half nods. She's still busy scanning the pages. It is really hard when your Mom is part of the Media Industry. Yep, that's right. She's a journalist. 

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm 

and if you're broke I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love 

I'll pick you up when you're getting down 

and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now 

I head to the door. Before I exit I took a last glance of myself. The lady in front of me was wearing her face splitting grin. It's obvious; this day is sunshine and rainbows for her. She's wearing her black tight jeans, a white hanging blouse marked with the American Flag, over it was a camouflage vest matched with her black rider's boots. She's holding a little red box containing a chocolate cake with cherry on top. 

I walk down the street still listening to Alejandro's voice. When I finally got there, I find out that the door is locked. Maybe Delten is not here. But the lights are on. 

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind 

I'll do it all for you in time 

And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down 

I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And if it's dark in a cold December, I've got ya to keep me warm 

and if you're broke I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on
