When Ryan and I were younger, we would steal his dad's vinyl disk and sneak it into his room. After his parents left for work, we use to crank it up and sing along with it in our ridiculous voices. So while the other kids our age listened to Hannah Montana or Jonas brothers, we sang like frogs to Bon Jovi's angelic voice. So carefree. Just us and the music, not to mention our throaty voices.
He awkwardly cleared his throat before continuing.
"Well as my - as my broken heart lies bleeding... You say true love is suicide." He sang with his eyes still closed and hands comically in the air.
I laughed loudly as I struggled to catch my breath. He was just so weird!
"Yo- you suck!" I said between laughs.
"Shh! The baby's starting to sleep!" He whisper shouted at me, I could still see the glint of playfulness in his warm brown eyes.
"Ok ok." I said trying to control my laughter.
"You say you've cried a thousand rivers rivers,
And now -"
I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing again.
A few minutes after giggling, trying to control my laughter and giggling again, I looked up to see Ryan looking at me with a small smile on his face and a look in his eyes that I couldn't quiet put my finger on.
"What?" I asked abruptly.
"Nothing." He shook his head and smiled again, a genuine one. Not the smirk or the lopsided grin. Just a smile, the one that I hadn't seen for years.
"Come on, sing along." He said as he picked up a comb from dressing table and placed it in my hand. He grabbed cylindrical perfume bottle from my table and placed it in front of his mouth and urged me continue.
"And now you're swimming..." He waited and gave me an expectant look.
"To the shore?" I said silently.
"I can't hear you..." Ryan said with a playful smile on his lips.
"To the shore." I said louder.
"Come on! You have to feel it!"
"You left me drowning in my tears,
And you won't save me anymore." I sang quietly.
"Now I'm praying to god you'll give me one more chance, girl." He sang loudly. " come on grace! I know you can do better. Sing with me!"
When he started the chorus I joined in still giggling but singing along anway.
"I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you.." We ended the chorus in our highly unprofessional voices with me still giggling while Ryan still had his spare hand up in the air as he held the bottle in the other.
I bet he thought he was Adel or something.
During our little.. duet, we had unconsciously turned towards each other and were now standing facing each other.
It amazed my how I still remembered the song by heart, I haven't heard it in ages.
"The baby's asleep." Ryan told me pointing at the robot that lay sound asleep.
Wow... Can't believe that worked.
"Finally!" I said looking that little devil of a robot. I waked to my bed to and gently lay the duvet on top of the robot's body leaving his head out.
"I guess I should get going then.." He said before giving me a small smile as he turned around to leave.
Just before he reached my bedroom door, I stopped him.
"Hey.. Um, if you want you can stay for sometime.. We can.. Uh watch a movie or something.." I stuttered.
I have absolutely no clue as to why I said that. None. Zilch. Nada.
"Fine, but.." He paused for a dramatic effect as a mischievous smile played on his lips.
Oh no, I know where this is leading.
"You don't get to choose!" I said quickly cutting him off. I knew that mischievous smile too well to let him complete his sentence
He sighed in defeat but agreed anyway.
"Fine." He huffed. "But then you make the popcorn!" He added almost as quickly as I had.
Shoot! He got me there!
"Ugh! Fine!" I huffed.
"Good girl." He ruffled my hair playfully as I have him a scowl.
"Now, lets go." He said as he started running out of my room.
What's he doing? Is he on crack?
"Last one to reach the couch is a bum!" He shouted over his shoulder as he ran out of my room.
Immature idiot. I smiled.
Nonetheless, I ran out of my room, down the stairs and to the couch, only to find Ryan already sitting with a smug smile on his face.
Stupid ass.
After a lot of arguments about chick flicks, we finally decided on 'Warm Bodies' since it had zombies and the whole chick flick ring to it.
'R' the main guy of the movie began speaking as Ryan casually placed around my shoulder, pulling my to his side and I let home do so. The familiar but long lost warm feeling spread in my stomach as I inhaled the fresh smell that he gave off. He smelled like pine and the washing powder his mom uses.
'Just like old times' I thought.
