Chapter
25
Angela had no idea what to do. Her best friend had just walked out the
door. "I guess I can just watch this guy perform until Krista gets
back," she said to herself.
She focused all her attention to the stage for
the time being. Something didn't seem right to her though. She
looked a little bit harder at the guy getting ready to sing. It was
Brian!! "I've been set up," she thought angrily. "Krista
won't be able to sit until she's 30 when I'm through with her!"
Angela was just getting up to leave
when she heard Brian say, "This goes out to my soul mate. You know
who you are." This caught her attention and she slowly sat back
down.
Brian took a deep breath and started
to sing:
It's not that I can live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day we said good-bye
If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
Brian closed eyes right before he started to sing again. He knew this
next verse was going straight from his heart to hers.
I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
'Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
And make you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me girl
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
Angela found herself lost in Brian's voice. She smiled to herself every
time Brian scrunched up his nose that little bit when he was really getting
into the song.
Give me one more chance, to give my love to you
'Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do
Tell me
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find a way back to your heart
The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart
Angela could feel the tears well up in
her eyes and slowly fall down her face as Brian finished singing. He got
a decent amount of applause from the people sitting in the coffee house.
He sighed with relief that no one had recognized him here and that he
could make this moment right.
He walked over to her hoping that
these were good tears. Brian took her face into his hands and gently
wiped away her tears. "Don't cry Princess."
"Oh Brian, I am so sorry,"
she whispered.
"Me too," he said. He
leaned in and kissed her. She returned it with so much passion and hunger
for more. But he pulled away. "Hold on," he said.
He reached into his pocket and pulled
out the necklace that she had ripped off in rage at the club last week.
She leaned over and let him put it back on her. Angela looked up
and saw such love in Brian's eyes.
"One more thing," he said. He
reached into his other pocket, this time pulling out a small black box.
He looked straight into her eyes and got down on one knee.
