Chapter 5
Long time coming.
Mmmm my pillow smells like honey.
Wait... No it doesn't?
Why is my pillow moving?
And that was my thought process as I woke up and looked up to find Odessa asleep and me laying on her lap holding her around her waist. I close my eyes again and fall back asleep to her deep breathing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ow!" I yelp as I wake up from the pain in my ass.
"What's up with me and being rudely awaken?" I mutter as I get up and look at Odessa who is wide eyed and blushing.
"Are you okay?" She squeaks out and I nod and stretch my arms and yawn.
"I didn't want to be woken up that way but I'm okay. Question is, are you? You look like you just saw a ghosts penis," I laugh and roll my shoulders and sit down on the floor.
"Ya I'm fine I just panicked when I woke up to somebody cuddling up against me," she laughs awkwardly at the situation and my joke about the ghost penis. Hey it was a good one!
She gets up and helps me up by grabbing my
Hand and pulls me to the kitchen.
"Hazelnut coffee?" I squeak out and jump up and down when I see her nod and place something
In her robot coffee and tea making machine.
"Bathroom?" I ask and she points to a small door next to the stairs.
I enter the bathroom and pee and try to fix my mop of hair. I search
Through the drawers and find an unused toothbrush. I unwrap it and grab some toothpaste and scrub my teeth while humming my ABC's. I walk out and smile gratefully as I sip my coffee. As I drink it I hear a door opening and then before I know it Odessa is pushing me up the stairs and into an unknown room and closing the door on me. I sigh and sit down on the bed that lays in the middle of the room. Well I guess her room. The walls were painted a dark navy blue and she had light grey accents. Her furniture was grey and well as her large light fixture. I see a guitar laying against the side table and I pick it up. Strumming it lightly I tune it and begin to play Long Time Coming by "One Night Only".
I quietly sing:
Waking up from another daydream
Like a ghost all alone again
There was a world that I thought I knew
But I never met someone quite like you.
I stopped singing when I heard footsteps outside the door. I quickly set down the guitar and suck down behind the bed. Odessa enters and laughs when she sees me pop up.
"I was eavesdropping," she says like it was an everyday thing.
"What?" I ask confused.
"To your song. I've never heard it. Did you write it?" She asks as she sits down on her bed.
"No, it's by one of my favorite bands though."
"You play guitar?" She ask and she strums on it lightly.
"Yup! And the piano and violin and drums," I laugh and she looks at me in shock.
"How did you learn all of those?" She asks me as I sit next to her and help her tune the instrument.
"I started young and I played violin in school and then guitar came after that. I took piano lessons after my sister passed and just recently have started really 'playing'," I say making quotation marks with my hands,"and then the drums came naturally one I played all the others because it has a lot to do with beats that you're taught in the schools orchestra.
She makes an "O" shape with her mouth and takes my hand and leads me out of her room. She motions to be quiet and opens up another door across from her bedroom.
"This room is soundproof so don't worry about making noise. They won't hear and they never come up here anyways. I'll lock the door just in case,"
"So your uhm father and stepmother are home?" I whisper against her ear.
"Yes, don't worry though," she whispers back into my ear, causing my breath to halt as I take in her honey scent and melodic voice that's hummed within my head.
I stop as soon as I enter the room and look around. There is a recording booth at the back and microphones everywhere. Speakers surround the room and there is every instrument you could imagine. I pick up the acoustic guitar that was on a stand and play what makes you beautiful lightly. I start to sing horribly to Odessa and laugh at her horrified expression. She starts singing along and we are both on the floor laughing by the time the song is over.
We spend the rest of the day in the music room. I teach her to play Winnie the Pooh on the piano and on the guitar as well. She listens as I play the drums to a skrillex song. I sing her some lyrics I wrote and to every single one she smiles and claps.
"You know I've never shared those songs with anybody," I say as a sit next to her against the wall in the recording room.
"I feel special,"
"Good because you are,"
She doesn't reply and we sit in comfortable silence.
"Odessa?" I ask quietly. One question could ruin it all but I wanted and needed to know. I was craving her voice, her laugh, her smile. I craved information about her. I wanted to know this girl like no other.
"Yes Wyatt?"
"Can I kiss you?"
