The Girl That Makes My Heart Go Boom!

Chapter 9: Aaron's POV

Bugger. Why did I do that? Ah, I'm so stupid sometimes. It's way too soon, I only just broke up with Sienna. She's going to think I'm a complete player. And I'm not. I'd been with Sienna for a year or something, and I'd never really had a proper girlfriend before that. Couldn't really see the point, other than to boost my cred, and I didn't need that. I was already an A grade, award winning student. My music was all I needed; all I could concentrate on.

I watched Indi's face closely. What was she thinking? I don't even know if she likes me that much, or even in that way. Perhaps she has a boyfriend already whom she loves and would never leave for me. Crap! I've stuffed up everything now. Why can't I turn back time and just not have said that - we could just both be sitting here talking normally: about her school classes and her family; or the next album we're starting work on soon; or how the prom preparations are going. Why? Why? Why did I say it? It's like verbal diarrhoea, I saw her and everything just spilled out. I'll just say it now: I'm sorry, I take it back, I didn't mean it like that Inds, I...

"Aaron," Ah too late, she's speaking now, she's about to reject me, again. Her huge chocolate eyes are twinkling at me in the sun. Kill me now please, someone please just do it so I don't have to hear it, please!

"...I..." No, I don't want to know. I can't. I would just get up and start walking before she can say anything but my arm is still wrapped around her waist and her head is resting on my shoulder. God. Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do?

"...Aaron, I...I want you too," There she said it, I'm going to get up and run away now...wait. She wants me? She didn't say no. My heart leapt into my mouth. I stared down at her face, pure amazement surely etched upon mine; complete joy radiating from hers. My lips curled towards my eyes, stretched from one ear to the other, in an enormous smile. I've not smiled like this in ages - not about a person anyway, obviously about the music and the band - I feel like the blooming Cheshire cat my smile is so big. I spun round so I was actually standing on the pathetic excuse of a bridge and helped Indi up with me. When she stood facing me I couldn't help but smother her in a massive hug, completely wrapping her in my arms. She rose up as her hands reached behind my neck, pulling herself closer. I could feel her breath on my neck, her gorgeous hair tickling my chin, the warmth of her body against my own. I closed my eyes in pure exhilaration - she wanted me.

Keeping one arm wrapped firmly around her tiny waist I reached down to pick up my guitar case, that I had practically dropped when I saw her sitting here some half hour ago. Really I'd just been wandering; looking for somewhere nice to sit down and write and play my songs. Now I wasn't heading back to London I just wanted some time to myself - to think about things, to see new places. I didn't even know that I had been anywhere near the school. I had walked from a field where we had surreptitiously parked our bus - out of view from any roads or houses - and walked in a random direction down a hill, through some woods until I saw her.

"I need to get back Aaron. Not that I want to go, I'd much rather be here with you," whispered Indi in my ear. I laughed. I would much rather she stayed too but I suppose school came first. We walked back through the woods chatting quietly about nothing in particular. I couldn't help but pull her waist closer to me as we wandered along the track towards the road, I just wanted her to be with me.

"And I've decided," she begun, "Not to tell anyone." I looked at her, stunned. This girl really was amazing. Any one else would've gone straight to the paps, the papers, anyone who'd listen. But not her. I wanted to hear her reasoning though. I asked.

"Well, don't want any crazy exes or mentally deranged jealous fans attacking me now, do you?"

I couldn't help it. She was adorable as she giggled, peeping out at me from under her thick eyelashes, cute grin plastered on her face. I hadn't planned it, much like I hadn't planned telling her in the first place about how much I liked her. But I suppose this was fate. I bent down slowly and placed my lips on hers, mid-laugh. We stopped then, walking became too much of a distraction. I was on fire, feeling her arms wrap around my neck, delicate fingers entwining in my hair; my own hands at her back holding her as close to me as possible. Her eyelashes fluttering on my face like a ray of everlasting sunshine. This was a dream; it was way too perfect to be any sort of reality.

We broke apart, my chest heaving. My heart was thumping in my ears, a beat like a drum, fast and steady. I stood still trying to work out where I was, what I'd been doing before I got here but everything had been wiped from my memory with that kiss. All that mattered was my Indi.. Inds. I sighed happily and watched her standing dead still on the spot, barely breathing, staring at me.

She's like my own personal rainbow - I know it sounds weird but whenever I see a rainbow I can't help but smile - that's what she does to me. She's beautiful and mysterious: enchanting; exciting; enticing. She brings a smile every day. It's so intoxicating how she moves, speaks and looks. Reaching out I grabbed her hand in mine - hers tiny in comparison, like a giant holding hands with a fairy.

I wandered back towards the bridge, lost in thoughts of her. I pulled out my guitar and hooked the strap over my head. I stopped before the stream, dropped the case and sat down with my back to the water. I strummed the strings softly with my thumb and sung; an old song that just seemed to fit now. The words sprung into my head and the chords formed under my fingers:

Well I met this girl 

Just the other day 

I hope I don't regret 

The things that I said now  

But when we're laughing, joking with each other now 

I'm glad I met this girl 

She didn't walk away 

I think she was impressed 

And was having a good time 

But when we're laughing joking with each other 

Spending all our time together 

When she walks in the room my heart goes boom 

When she walks in the room my heart goes boom 

I tried to take her home but she said you're no good for me 

She's got a pretty face 

And such a lovely name 

I don't want my friends to see 

They might take her away from me 

She's one I won't forget for a long long long time 

And now I really want the world to see that she is the one for me 

When she walks in the room my heart goes boom 

When she walks in the room my heart goes boom 

I tried to take her home but she said you're no good for me 

The first time that I saw her she stole my heart  

And if we work together nothing can tear us apart 

When she walks in the room my heart goes bo...

Ring! Ring! Ring! I pull the phone from my jeans pocket. Only Oscar, probably wanting more food or something.

*Get back now mate. Seriously, this ain't good*

Yay!!!!! They kissed at last! Happy?
