What I've Done

"Mala's talked about you once, and says you have a lovely singing voice. I think I'd like to hear it one day on our stay here on the island."

"Oh, she has? Well, I do have quite a singing voice...or...so I've been told...I definitely wouldn't mind singing you something sometime." Delilah smiled at Lazarus, and gave a quick eye over to what Jarred was doing; listening in on what Mala was saying. She turned back to Lazarus and asked, "So, how do you like it here so far?'

Delilah eyed Lazarus' guitar case and asked, "Is that an electric or acoustic guitar?" She herself knew how to play guitar fairly well, acoustic guitar that is. After all, you can't just sing and not play an instrument. At least, Delilah couldn't.

"Ah, wonderful. I always love hearing other singers besides always hearing Logos and Mala."

Delilah looked over to Logos and Mala, who were still chatting away about what she believed was what had happened in town or something of the sort. She turned her attention back on Lazarus and said, "Well, whenever you're available, just let me know!"

"I have to say its quite nice here. Its gonna be sad once we have to leave. But luckily, thats not for a while."

"When exactly do you guys leave? It won't be, like, in a month or something, right?" Delilah would in fact be devastated if the band left after only a month. But Lazarus did say it wouldn't be for a while, which was mos likely more than a month or two..hopefully it would be like a year or something. Delilah glanced over at Jarred once again, taking a quick peek at what he was doing. But after a moment or two she returned once again to Lazarus, she didn't want to be rude, after all.

"It is an acoustic guitar, just bought it today. I love buying new instruments."

A large, toothy grin appeared across Delilah's face as she rounded Lazarus to get a better look at the guitar case. She ran her fingers over the case and smiled, just picturing herself playing it. "Do you think i could hold it, please?"

"Who knows? Logos won't tell me, and if I remember Mala right, she'd keep us here as long as she can."

Delilah gave a small grin as she peered over to Mala. Thank you Mala. She thought to herself. If she was right, which hopefully she was, Mala would try to keep the band there for a long while since they had so much catching up to do and all. "Well hopefully that'll be a while."

"I like coming here, new places to play at... like small bars or some other places, I hope Kaltica can get us into a place to play. Hangin' around here is like a mini vacation."

The siren cocked her head curiously. "Kaltica? Who's that?" Delilah asked, grabbing a chunk of her hair and weaving her fingers in and out of it. She figured Kaltica was most likely the band's manager or something, but she hoped to god it wasn't his (or Jarred's) girlfriend. She might have just met them and all, but hey, she had to make sure her options were wide open before she started flirting. Delilah didn't want to get caught in a sticky situation...or did she?

"I don't see why not.I tuned it as much as I could when I got it, but, we had to get back here, so I didn't have enough time to get it perfect."

Delilah jeered with excitement as she took hold of the beautiful acoustic guitar. She ran her hands over the strings and woods, and even smelt it quickly, smiling at the new guitar smell that still remained. "Oh, my god, this is B-E-A-U-tiful!" She glanced behind her and dragged a nearby table a bit closer to her, so that she was able to sit on top of it. She knew that Lazarus and tuned it a bit already, but she had excellent hearing for tuning guitars, and gave it a last minute tweak before saying, "There, now it's tuned perfectly." She looked back down at the guitar and strummed each chord once to make sure they were perfect, even though she already knew they were. {color=#ffccff]"Is it okay if I play a song, please?"[color]

When Mala and Jarred came over, Delilah smiled at Jarred and then said to Mala, "Hey Mala! You know, you were totally right. You're band is so great, and very nice. So glad you introduced me, and even more glad that I met you!"

"That is Kaltica, I'm sure Mala introduced you to her also. She's the drummer of the band."

Delilah turned as red as a tomato. How embarrassing, and not to mention rude. Mala had just introduced not even an hour ago, and she had already forgotten her name. Delilah looked over at Kaltica when she had realized that her name had been mentioned, but ignored it soon after. Delilah gave a nervous laugh instead of saying a typical 'how embarrassing'.

"Go ahead."

Delilah beamed when Lazarus allowed her to play a song on his new beautiful guitar. She replayed the chords quickly in her head before before adjusting her fingers in the correct positions. After taking a deep breath, she began to strum, and soon after (very soon) she began to sing:

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Dang all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

I remember when
I was hanging with my friends
That's when I caught your eye
You thought that I was fly
Right then you wished that I would be your baby
You try to spit some game
Asking me girl what ya name
All that ice upon ya chain
So I asked you the same
Something tells me that we have fun together

I ain't easy to find
I'm a one of a kind
Oh when i dutty wine
I know your all mine
Tonight is yours
Tomorrow's for another guy

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Dang all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

You've been calling me
Leaving messages all week
Was your curiosity
Got ya knees weak
I'm not looking for a man
So I don't want no confusion
I took ya to the floor
Got ya begging me for more
But that was my queue to go
So I hit the door
I left you hot
With your mind is still running wild

I ain't easy to find
I'm a one of a kind
Oh when I dutty wine
I know your all mine
If you stick around
Be careful not to fall in love

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Dang all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

Now a couple months have passed
Never thought that this would last
Oh everybody asked
How ya got a girl like that
But you should've known
That nothing lasts forever
I mash up ya mind
When I tell you lies
But boy don't be surprised
That I'm seeing other guys
I'm too young to settle
And you should've known better

Dang all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

It was the song Beautiful Girls, but put in the girls' perspective. It'd been stuck in Delilah's head for so long that she just had to make an acoustic version of it, even if there were already so many out there, but of the original, not of the girls' version. At least, that she could find.

When she finished playing and singing, she gave a small smile towards everyone, staying a extra moment or two at Lazarus and Jarred. "So...what did you think?"

"You shouldn't even ask, it was terrific!"

Delilah smiled cheerfully. She knew there was no need to ask, but she just loved hearing people tell her how great she sounded.

"I agree with Lazarus. It was very good."

"Thanks, Logos," Delilah said with a small semi-toothy smile still spread across her face.

"I have to say, your better then Mala."

Delilah had noticed that Kaltica had moved closer while the other, Ben, simply stayed where he was. When Jarred and made his comment, Delilah couldn't resist but laugh out loud. True she was better than Mala, but when Mala punched Jarred for making the comment, she had to laugh. "Hey, Mala is a very very good singer, and I think we pair up more or less evenly," The siren said with a smile directed towards Jarred if anything.
