CHAPTER 19: The Matt Shrine
When Lori and Matt went into the computer room (or den) Matt sat down in the chair and she sat in his lap. She turned on the computer and waited for it to come to a screen with 4 icons on it. She clicked on the dog one, which was hers and it brought her to a screen that had a picture of Matt's band, The Juice, as a background.
"He's really hot." Lori grinned.
"Who is?" Matt asked.
She looked back at him and said, "The guy in the middle. He's so sexy." She giggled.
Matt looked at the screen and said, "ME?"
"Yeah. He's really hot. He looks like he's on drugs though." She teased. She kissed his cheek and said, "OK. So, what do you want to show me?"
"Hey! I'm not on drugs!" He protested.
"I was kidding Matty B. Chill."
"Do you have AOL?" he asked as he looked at all the icons on the screen.
"I have MSN or whatever it is." she told him.
"MSN?"
She shrugged. "I have no clue."
"Haha. OK." He laughed.
"It's a different version of AOL. It doesn't tie up the phone line." Lorr added.
"Do you get a lot of phone calls or something?" He smiled at her.
She smiled back and said, "No. I hate answering the phone."
"So if I called you you wouldn't answer it?"
"Hmm....If you called me I would answer it. And nobody calls for me so that's why I don't answer it."
"You better answer the phone if I call you."
"I would answer it if you called me."
"I know you would. You love me."
"You know it." She smiled at him. "So what is it that you wanted to show me?"
"It's online." he said simply.
She clicked on the online button and he said, "Type in 'The Juice music'."
"Kay."
She type it in and the screen came up. "Now what do I do?"
"Click on music."
Lori clicked on music and another screen came up. "OK."
"Click on the thing that says listen."
"Which song?"
"The second one down."
"And on the way down I saw you and you saved me from myself and I won't forget the way you loved me." she said in a sing-song voice. She giggled.
She clicked on the the second one down, which was Too Good, and she reached up and turned on the speaker. Pretty soon "Too Good" was coming out of the speakers.
"overwhelmed with satisfaction
I drown in your eyes
backs of my fingers
against the soft of your cheek
I touch your lips
onto mine
and I do not know what to do
and the world means nothing at all
it don't get better than this
PRECHORUS
we smoke our minds to smiles and
realize how good this feels
I never wanna leave-never had something that felt so real
CHORUS
I hear a song and somehow its about you
it penetrates my soul...
I don't know what to do
it's too good it's too damn good
psychology couldn't explain
what I'm feelin, I'm feelin right now
no more answering questions
like why? or how?
my world slips to a dreamy nothing
you come dancing in my head
I awake and see your face
smiles overflow from my lips
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
its your smile, its your style, its the way that you walk
its the way your lips move every time that you talk
its your eyes it's your thighs its the breath of your hair
its the love that drowns my eyes every time that I stare
its the way that we melt
the lucky hand we were dealt
its too good its too damn good."
He sang the song in her ear and she listened to his voice and her heart melted.
When the song was over she said, "You guys sound awesome."
"You really think so?"
"Yeah. I love that song."
"Have you heard it before?"
"I wanna show you something." she said.
"And what's that?"
She looked back at him and said, "It's um...a surprise."
She typed in yahoo.com and then clicked on geocities. She typed in her screen name and password then she clicked on file manager. She scrolled down till she found the one that she wanted and clicked on it. It was My Dream Guy, her webpage that had a ton of pictures of Matt on it. LOL. She was crazy, but she loved him.
"Got enough pictures of me?" He asked smiling.
"Can never have enough pictures." She reminded him.
"It's a Matt Shrine." he said.
"Read the top...in the blue." she told him.
Matt read the top and read what it said. "My Dream Guy." he whispered.
"Do you know who I'm obsessed with yet?" she asked him.
"Hmm..." he smiled, "Yeah. I think I do."
"Actually....I'm in...love." she corrected herself.
"Me too." He put his arms around her and kissed her neck.
"Whoa. Got enough pictures of Matt, Lorr?" Greg asked walking into the computer room.
"Hmm....yeah, but I don't have one of us together."
"You want a picture of you and him together?"
"Yeah. I can put it on my nightstand.....that way I know there's an angel watching over me."
"Awww." Matt held her tighter.
"What are we doing tomorrow?" Greg asked looking at Matt.
"We should go to the Lilac Mall and cause some trouble." Lori said. "Actually we could go to the Fox Run Mall...the Lilac Hall can get pretty boring."
"The Lilac Hall?" the guys asked together.
"Yeah....it's not like the Mall of America...it's a hall with a bunch of stores in it. There's like no good stores there or anything. You can always just walk back and forth from one end to the other, but the kids at my school and me call it the Lilac Hall." Lori explained. "Oh yeah. It's where I got picked up for Barbizon."
"Barbizon?"
"Yeah. I went to the Barbizon school of modeling." Lori tried hard not to laugh. "What a joke that was."
"You wanna be a model?" The look on his face was priceless.
"Hmm...kinda, but Barbizon was just a money pit." she confessed. "It was just a waste of time, not to mention a waste of money."
"Matt's girlfriend, the model." Greg smiled.
"I'm not a model. I'm not even close to being a model. I'm not skinny enough." Lori told them.
"Models are like toothpicks. I mean, you touch them the wrong way and they could break." Matt laughed. He poked her in the sides and said, "It's OK to have a body Lorr."
"Just OK?" She eyed him. "Now I think I have to lose weight."
"You don't need to lose weight." Greg assured her.
"Yeah. You're hot." Matt agreed.
"Hmm..." Lori said thoughtfully. She remembered back to when.....
