Inara's POV
"What the hell, Mike?! Why did you do that?!" I said, slamming my spoon down on the counter. Arianna and Mike both looked at me wide eyed, in shock.
"Do what?!" He said, frowning. "All I did was kiss her!"
"Exactly. In front of the guy that's been trying to get her for THREE MONTHS!" I yelled. Tony took my hand and sat me back down in the stool.
"Baby, calm down.. please.." Tony said, rubbing my back.
"He doesn't like me... Not anymore at least..." Arianna said, frowning.
"Yes he does. He talks about you to Tony and I all the time. This shit happens to the poor guy all the time but this time, its different! because he doesn't want to forget you! He want's to be with you but this idiot just fucked it up!" I said, sighing.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW HE'S FEELING IF HE DOESNT TELL ANYONE!?" Mike yelled, frowning.
"Hey, man. Don't yell at her." Tony said, glaring at him.
"He's right..." Arianna said, looking at me. "How am I supposed to know he likes me if he doesnt speak about it?" This girl just doesn't get it, does she?
"You can tell by the way he looks at you. By the way he talks about you to other people. The way he says your name for Christ's sake!" I said, sighing and standing up. "I've suddenly lost my appetite..." I walked out of the room. I could hear Tony behind me and Arianna and MIke talking silently. I sat on the couch, sighing. I felt terrible for Jaime. This happened way too often and I wasn't just gonna sit by and let it happenn again.
"Baby, its okay..." Tony said, hugging me tightly. "Look, I know this happens a lot... But I can tell that Ari feels something for Jaime.. I know she does.."
"How can you be so sure..?" I said, wiping tears from my eyes.
"Because he's been there for her probably more than any man has before. And that's how I know."
Arianna's POV
"Do you really think its true...?" I said to Mike after Inara walked out.
"I mean... I guess it could be... But he should have told me at least... I didn't know he had dibs.." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. I frowned.
"It's not like I'm some kind of toy that you call dibs on, Mike.." I said, looking away.
"I didn't mean it like that... I just meant that if he liked you, he should have told me.. So I wouldn't make any moves on you..." I nodded a bit and sighed. "Look, I can tell you've got a little thing for Jaime as well.." He chuckled, elbowing me softly. I smiled a bit and blushed. "So, I think that you should go up to Jaime and talk to him."
"Well, what about you...?"
"I'll be fine" He smiled and hugged me. "I'm a big boy.. Now, go and talk to him." I smiled back at him and nodded then quickly went up the stairs to Jaime's room. When I got to his door, I took a deep breath. I was nervous to talk to him.. Especially after that incident. Just as I went to knock on the door, I heard a guitar playing softly in the room. I quietly opened the door to see Jaime on his bed with his guitar and a notebook in front of him. He was humming then stopped playing to write something in his notebook.
I never knew that Jaime even WROTE songs. I know, dummy me. I've been living with the guy for three months and I haven't even noticed. As you can tell, I'm a very observant girl. I was cut off from my thoughts when he began singing the lyrics on the page.
And I just fell in the deep end,
Like a lush without her weekend
But I wrote this for you kid.
Its not what I wanted, I need it.
But man its a long trip,
From all the crazy things I've seen in this world
I'm blessed, I guess.
But what if I was a secret,
And you couldn't keep it.
And I swear I saw something good in your eyes before.
And if I sang it in the right key
And I asked you politely for you to find a way home.
I find it difficult to sleep when all the walls they just seem to speak to me.
And its kind of funny that I laugh because my hearts so fucked up
I can barely stand up
The sights and sounds of the cars outside,
The red and greens on the traffic lights
That the only thing I got is this,
The only thing I want is this...
Memories that make me smile,
A girl to stand there so she can admire the way
I can never ever really keep my hands to myself.
But the alcohol it tastes so sweet,
When its mixed with lies and defeat of
All the battles I lost and lost again.
But what if i was a secret,
And you couldn't keep it.
And I swear I saw something good in your eyes before.
And if I sang it in the right key
And I asked you politely for you to find a way home.
But what if you were the secret,
And I didn't see it
And I swear to god I wish these thoughts of mine
Could create the sunshine
As beautiful as your eyes I'd paint this night sky.
And its not like you need this,
I just wanted you to see it tonight.
I wiped the tears from my eyes. The way he sang was just so beautiful. And the way he played was just... God... I didn't know he sang either! I felt like a complete idiot. This guy had saved me twice. And I just treated him like absolute shit by going around, flirting and kissing his friends. I looked at Jaime to see him staring right back at me, catching me listening to him. Great...
