Kap 35
Rosanne:
I felt weaker by any second and in the end responded to his kiss, which was sweet and warm. After a few seconds, I moved away but was still in his arms. I wiped my tears and looked away shyly. I could then feel Jacob closing up, “I love you too,” he whispered.
I gasped and looked back at him. He was looking so cute, he had his eyebrows creased and he was all red.
I leaned close and kissed his cheek, “Sorry about…earlier” I said.
“No…it’s my fa-“
“No! No! It isn’t…you’ve changed now so yeah…I don’t care…” I said.
“Sorry” he mumbled.
My eyes widened at the sudden resemblance I saw. He looked exactly like a little girl I found when I was alive. She also had black hair, and she looked exactly like this when she was little.
“Should I tell you a story when I was alive?” I asked him, while looking out at the window.
“Sure” he said.
We both had leaned back on the bed, but I was still sitting on his lap. I leaned towards his shoulder. “When I was seventeen years old. I was very famous, famous for singing and dancing. But that fame didn’t mean anything for me, the only thing that meant for me was my lyrics and songs. But apparently, the men didn’t care about that. They just wanted to see me in revealing cloths. That’s it. So I had no meaning in life, I just did whatever…someone would tell me to do. I didn’t care where my life would lead me, I didn’t care whether anyone would beat me up or not. I felt lifeless. Until…I met a young girl. She was three years old, so adorable! And she gave me the meaning back at me.”
I sat up straight, so I could face him. He remained quiet, but nodded to show that he was listening.
“I’m a real sucker for small kids. I loved being with that little girl, she was cute and I loved her so-called ‘rules of life’. I would always go to her and play with her all the time! And I just wanted to kiss her cheeks thousands of times until they get red. I simply love her. She and Celeste are the most important people in my life. After I met you…Anyhow…things got complicated. The person I worked for, rose the demands of dancing…he wanted me to wear more revealing cloths, do more revealing dances. It would give me a lot of money, and that girl needed it for her leg. She wasn’t that rich then. So I accepted. She saw me then…and she was heartbroken! It felt like I let her down for some reason…so I stopped halfway running to her. So basically, she inspired me to stop doing these dances. She taught me that there is sweetness through bitterness. Her name is Alicia,” I said.
Jacob’s eyes widened and he kept looking at me, “You…can’t be talking about…my mother?” he said, his voice shaking.
I looked out at the window, the clear blue sky, “Hmm…She definitely looks like you! That face structure…no wonder I felt connected to you directly. She said once she wanted to name her daughter after me. So I asked her what happens if it’s a boy. She got all shy and said she had thought about this name for a long time, which was, ‘Jacob,’” I said, laughing.
Jacob leaned forward towards me, his eyes glittering, “Really?! It’s weird that you’ve met my mother…I don’t know how to feel…” he said, his gaze lowering and his smile fading.
I placed my hand under his chin and raised his head towards me. And started singing to a song which Alicia used to love. I used to sing this to her whenever she was to go to sleep.
“What ‘bout my star” I sang, it felt very refreshing to sing out something which was forgotten long time ago.
Jacob started to laugh, “What’s that for song!” he said.
I looked at him, “Your mother’s favorite anime was Macross Frontier. So, I always sang her this song whenever she was forced to sleep” I said, “There! You got to know something more about your mom right?” I said, smiling.
“Ohh? You’ve got a good voice…” Jacob said
“I used to compose own songs! But everyone thought they were too sweet for me…” I said, looking down in disappointment.
“Sing them for me then” he said, grinning.
I looked at him in surprise, “I love you,” I said again, kissing him on the cheek, “I’ve forgotten them all now. It’s been far too long,” I said.
Jacob got all red now, “Sing them for me when you remember!” he said.
I stood up and twirled around, “Sure!” I said, grinning.
