| Chapter Eight
Marina’s POV Everyone looked up as the sound of the curtains could be heard throughout the café. The first notes of a piano softly came through the speakers, soon joined by other instruments. A spotlight slowly lit up the stage and I saw Dana silently gasp as Alex came into view. Her usual messy short hair was slicked back. She was wearing black dress slacks and a plain white button down shirt, open, over a black spaghetti strap shirt. All the waiters and waitresses were going around lighting candles as Alex started singing the first verse. When the road gets dark And you can no longer see Let my love throw a spark And have a little faith in me And when the tears you cry Are all you can believe Just give these loving arms a try baby And have a little faith, faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me, ooh Have a little faith in me Have a little faith, faith in me Shane pointed at Dana and we all nodded. I smiled. It was working. And when your secret heart Cannot speak so easily Come here baby From a whisper start To have a little faith in me And when your back's against the wall Just turn around and you, you will see I will catch your, I will catch your fall baby Just have a little faith, faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith, faith in me Well I've been loving you for such a long, long time Expecting nothing in return just for you to have a little faith in me 'Cause see time, time is our friend 'Cause for us there is no end And all you gotta do is a have a little faith in me I will hold you up I will hold you up And your love gives me strength enough to have a little faith in me oh, heeeeey, oh darlin' have a little faith in me Faith Everyone applauded. Dana’s POV I stood up as everyone gave Alex a standing ovation. We made eye contact and she stood up from the piano. I made my way to the stage as she jumped down. We met in the middle, with everyone watching us, but I didn’t care. I grabbed her head and kissed her. I heard her moan into the kiss, even over all the hooting and hollering, most of which was coming from the table I had just vacated. Alex’s POV I reluctantly pulled back from the most passionate kiss I had ever had. Our foreheads still touching, I gazed into her eyes, hopefully showing all the love I had for her. “You’re an even better kisser than Bette.” Dana laughed and leaned her head on my shoulder. “I love you Dana.” Dana lifted her head and kissed me again, then put her head back in the crook of my neck and whispered, “I love you too.” Alice’s POV We all watched as Alex and Dana met halfway and kissed. The entire room broke out in hoots and hollers, out table being the loudest. When they stopped kissing everyone was silent. “I wish we could hear what they were saying,” I said with a sigh as I jumped down and sat in the chair I had just been standing on to get a good view of my friends. Now that everyone was sitting down I could see them without having to stand. I noticed everyone was looking at each other. “I wish Alex wasn’t the one who could read lips. I wanna know what they’re saying.” “We know,” they all said in unison then looked down at the table, giggling. “Oh my god!” Being the only one paying attention to our two friends, I was the first to jump up when Alex suddenly fell to the floor. |
