The Rhythm - The Song Of Life (Completed)

Second First Kiss?

Natalia woke up to a sunny start the next morning. Today was musical day, the day that Angie was going to perform.

She got ready as fast as she could with one of her best clothing:- a small black skirt that showed off most of her legs and a cotton black top, with a black jacket that went well with the outfit. The shoulders were puffy and sharp. She wore a golden chain with a Topaz hanging down from it, she wore her dangling earrings that looked very rock on. Her hair was naturally curly and beautiful so she didn't have to do much, but just comb it and curl it a little more with her hands. She looked like a rock goddess.

She ran downstairs.

'Good morning mom, dad', she greeted them

'Now, where is my beautiful daughter going', her dad asked

'We're having a musical today. Angie's performing and I want to support her by wearing something rock on', I said excited

'Well you did a pretty good job, honey', mom said as she poured some orange juice into my cup

I drank my juice and ran to the car, waiting for mom.

'Oh honey, don't you want any breakfast?'

'No mom, I think I want to walk to school today'

'Oh, okay then honey, walk safely, watch out for traffic and I love you!', my mom called out as I started walking to school

'Okay mom!', I shouted back

I was halfway through my journey of getting to school by foot, when I heard someone calling my name.

'Natalia!'

'Huh', I turned around to see who it was. It was Ryan. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt with a black vest on. He looked handsome.

'Oh hey Ryan! Looking good!', I complimented playfully

'I can say the same for you', he said

'You performing, Ryan?'

'No, you?'

'No, my friend Angelina is though', I said

'Ryan's face lighted up when I mentioned Angelina

'Angelina.... I've heard of her, she's a violinist isn't she. Is she pretty?'

'Yeah she is, she has black hair and black eyes. She wears specs, but she's pretty'

'Oh... okay then, never mind', he sounded like he just lost interest in her

We reached our school early, so nobody was there, yet.

'Hey Natalia, do you want to help me to carry some of the microphones?'

'Okay'

We went to the store room and grabbed some microphones from the shelves.

We gathered them up and carried them to the hall.

Some of the microphones slipped from my hands. I felt my foot on of those microphones. I slipped and fell hard on the ground, but before I fell, I grabbed onto Ryan's shirt and as I fell, I took him down with me.

He fell on me and our chests banged up against each other. He looked at me straight in the eye. I could feel his breath on my neck. The same thing I felt when I was with Jacob, but with less passion.

Could I be moving on so quickly? Why are things so rushed?

'Natalia.....', he whispered

He drew his face closer to mine so I could already feel the tip of his nose on mine.

Our lips got closer with every second that passed. Inside I felt two types of emotions. The first one was to kiss him and forget about Jacob forever, the second one was the urge to push him off, give a quick apology and run away.

As much as I was tempted to kiss the pinkish lips in front of me, but somewhere inside of me I could still feel love for Jacob. But, he's with Yvonne now, why should I care about him? Because you love him and he' been brainwashed by that witch. He doesn't believe me anyway, so why should I bother?

Because you know that love will find a way, you love him, now stop fooling around with yourself and get that pretty boy off you right now and get Jacob back from Yvonne and snog him for as long as you want. Mt conscious was repeatedly messing with my decisions. Oh well.

'I'm sorry Ryan', I apologised as I pushed him off.

'I can't do this. I'm still in love with Jacob and I don't think that I'll ever get over him. I'm sorry if I messed with your feelings, I just...... love him so much', I explained with a tear dropping from my eye

He sighed. 'It's okay Natalia, I know that you still love him, but I didn't know that you loved him this much. Listen..... if he ever hurts you again..... you know I'll always be here right'

'Oh Ryan'. I gave him a big bear hug

'Ryan...... You should find someone better than me. I'm sure you will', I encouraged

He sighed again and gave out a little laugh.

'Yup! I'm sure I will too', he said with a wink

I gave Ryan a loving kiss on the cheek, he did the same.

'Let's go get something to drink', he offered

'Alright'
