Page 63 of Tattooed Sweetness

My lonely heart plays hide and seek

The heartstrings that you pull

They hurt in such a beautiful way”

Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a curvaceous Titian beauty come dancing up to the piano, snapping her fingers.

Her enthusiasm jumps to me as I play the interlude from memory. She smiles at me, and I wink at her as I continue singing:

“Oh, Celine, if only you could see me

Kiss me now, don’t let me go

Oh, Celine, I’m thinking always of you

Say, we’ll stay forever side by side

Oh, Celine, if only you could see me

Kiss me now, don’t let me go

Oh, Celine, I’m thinking always of you

Say, we’ll stay forever side by side”

Damnit. Yes, Celine. If only you could see me!

The redhead covers me with air kisses in keeping with the text, rubbing her body lasciviously against one of the concrete pillars supporting the ceiling.

To chase the useless thoughts of Celine out of my head, I go for her flirting.

“Say, we’ll stay forever side by side

Say, we’ll stay forever side by side

Say, we’ll stay forever side by side”

Yes, stay with me, I silently beg the strawberry blonde.Stay by my side now!Because, in the meantime, I have realized: With the second verse of the song byYünüs della Luna, I’m walking on a fucking thin spot of the ice layer hiding my emotions:

“Been looking for a soulmate

But I didn’t ever find

Your lovely face shows you’re a saint

To save me from my inner hell

Be mine in such a beautiful way”

Fuck!The absurd thought Celine could be the patron saint raised above all earthly things, who would save me from this hell burning inside me, makes my throat choke. I promptly miss the vocal entry in the chorus.

The red-blonde straightens her exceedingly presentable titties. Obviously, she thinks I sing the song to hit on her.

“…, if only you could see me

Kiss me now, don’t let me go

Oh, Celine, I’m thinking always of you
