00SG : MISSION KARL RESCUE

Chapter Three

Who could that be? The bells just keep on ringing...better go open the door. Why, of all people, it's Daz! He came over coz he 'wanted to check on everyone'. Yeah right. I knew he was bored - his face tells all. Nic went to a bookstore which was just 3 blocks from my place and Dan went to see Karl. That leaves me & Daz with nothing to do. Oh well...at least I'm not so lonely anymore.

"What's wrong, Colby?"
"Oh nothing...if there was something wrong I'd tell Nic...we all do, don't we?"
"That's not the point, Colby. You just look so...upset! I just wanted to know why."
"Oh nothing, Daz...just feeling...lonely..."
"Lonely?"
"Yeah...noone's ever here, and I live by myself anyway..."
"Aww, you poor thing!"
"You should really see this place! It's so quiet, so empty, and worst of all..."
"Worst of all?"
"Worst of all, Daz, nothing makes me laugh anymore! It's so gloomy here...gee whiz..."
"Hmm...that won't be true for long, Colby!"
"Huh? Daz? Whadya mean?"

As soon as I said that last verse, Daz started to TICKLE ME! I was pleading to him to stop - I'm very ticklish - but he just went on, ticking me like a little baby. I just couldn't stop laughing and giggling. I crept up with my back leaning against the headboard of the bed trying to get Daz to stop tickling me. He eventually did, probably from realizing that there's no way I could drop through the headboard. He just sat in the middle of the bed, laughing himself silly. I, on the other hand, was thinking.

All this while Daz has never known about the key, which was still hanging inside my shirt. I thought of giving it to him after his laughter has died down - at the rate he's laughing, he'll probably die laughing in his coffin - but my prankster self suddenly took over.

(OK, OK, I know I said I was a good girl, but I never said I was angelic! I do have a naughty side! And this time I felt like being SLIGHTLY naughty just for today, at least! On with the story!)

I was thinking about the idea I just had and decided to use it. So now there's TWO things on my mind - the idea and a particular song by Kate Ceberano. If I DO use this idea, I'll be accomplishing two things - letting Daz know about the key and, um, you'll know soon! OK, let's get this plan in action! (I'm not making much sense here, am I?)

While Daz is busy laughing himself inside out, I take out the key from the inside of my shirt and pretend to be admiring it. I immediately get my slighty flirtatious persona put together and decided that this was a good time to do it, since Daz's starting to stop laughing.

"Oh Dazzles..."
"Huh? What is it, Colby?"
"I've got something for you...it's important for our mission..."
"If there's anything important I should know about it! What is it anyway?"
"It's a key..."
(At this time I'm twirling the bit of the chain with the key as if to hypnotise Daz)
"A key? What good is a key?"
"You'll know soon enough...do you want it or not?"
"Of course if you say it's important! After all, you're the boss...and my best bud!"
"Boss or best bud, I'm going to..NOT give it to you! Hahaha!"

I immediately bite the key so that the back half is in my mouth while the front half is pointing straight at Daz. I gesture to him in sign language - I taught him a few years ago - that if he wants the key, he should take it. I was prepared for this - as soon as Daz's hands went up to take the key away, I immediately grabbed them and shook my head, indicating that the hands were a no-no.

"Hey!" exclaimed Daz, "If I can't use my hands, what CAN I use?" I stared blankly at him for a moment, then looked down at the key and started to move the key with my teeth. Daz looked at me in puzzlement, then in mock horror.

"Wait, if I can't use my hands, then...no!" said Daz. I just looked at him with a faint smirk. "You don't want me to pull it out with my OWN teeth, do you?" I just nodded. "Oh alright...you are a really crazy person, y'know, Colby..."

He bit on the front half of the key and was trying to yank it out as hard as he can, while I was busy trying to make sure Daz doesn't pull it out. Poor guy, you should have seen him...almost breaking his teeth in the process. I was pulling my head backwards, secretly trying to tell Daz something. I wonder, did he get the message?

Seems like he did. Daz rested for a while and then suddenly had a brainwave. He then bit on the key again, this time a little slower. He bit on one section of the key and pulled it down, then moved his mouth closer to the top and repeated the process. He then came closer...and closer...and closer...and then reached as high as he could. As he pulled the second-last section down and reached the top, Daz...kissed...me...

I'm not sure if he meant that intentionally or not but he definitely kissed me! I just had to let go of his hands and gently pulled a bit of the key out of his mouth so that he had an end to hold on to. Then I removed my mouth from the key. Sheer bliss...sigh...

Daz was slightly dumbfounded. He had to shake himself coz he couldn't believe what had just happened. He removed the key from his mouth and wiped it clean using his shirt while I removed the chain from my neck and placed it over his. He then understood everything.

"You...you wanted this all along, didn't you, you imp!" said Daz. He always calls me that. It's either imps or pixies. I have no idea why. "Well, if it's kisses you want...it's kisses you get!" Without much warning, he kissed me with burning passion.

I couldn't recall how many times he kissed me...3, 4, maybe even 5...each kiss even more powerful, even more passionate than the one before. The last one took most of my energy away, making me collapse on Daz's lap. Daz just softly smiled. Not knowing what else to do, I smiled too. Then I whispered.

"I love you Nightingale..."

The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was a lullaby and something that sounded like "You'd never believe how long I've waited for you to say that, pixie..."
