Yo is finally ready to take down his wall of shame. One by one, pictures of Pha are disappearing from his room. But when Pha finally gathers the courage to confess to his Nong, will he still be in Yo's heart? Retelling of my story Breaking Down the...
Ming's Muay Thai performance was pretty awesome, but the only performance I cared about was Yo's. He was going to play the piano for me. When he walked on stage in his suit, I held my breath. He looked amazing.
"This song is dedicated to the person in my heart. You know who you are," Yo said, speaking into the microphone. He started to play the piano, and then his voice came over the microphone again. I hadn't known he was going to sing, but his voice was wonderful.
"No limit in the sky That I won't fly for ya No amount of tears in my eyes That I won't cry for ya, oh no With every breath that I take I want you to share that air with me There's no promise that I won't keep I'll climb a mountain, there's none too steep When it comes to you There's no crime Let's take both of our souls And intertwine When it comes to you Don't be blind Watch me speak from my heart When it comes to you Comes to you Want you to share that Cupid ain't a lie Arrow got your name on it, oh yeah Don't miss out on a love And regret yourself on it, oh Open up your mind, clear your head Ain't gotta wake up to an empty bed Share my life, it's yours to keep Now that I give to you all of me, oh When it comes to you There's no crime Let's take both of our souls And intertwine When it comes to you Don't be blind Watch me speak from my heart When it comes to you Comes to you Want you to share that When it comes to you Want you to share that When it comes to you There's no crime Let's take both of our souls And intertwine When it comes to you Don't be blind Watch me speak from my heart When it comes to you Comes to you."
As I listened to Yo, I knew there was nothing I wouldn't do for him. My heart was beating out of my chest. I couldn't believe how beautiful he sounded. Ging came to talk to me, but I didn't really hear anything he said. I knew Kit and Beam were next to me, but in my mind Yo and I were the only two people in the world. He is perfect.
When he finished his song, all of the other contestants joined him on the stage for the popular vote. I grabbed my wallet and handed Beam some money, "I need as many roses as you can carry." He laughed at my expression, but left with Kit to get my roses for Yo.
I wanted to stay and watch Yo but Pring came up to me and insisted we go backstage to get ready for the presentation of the awards. I would have ignored her, but Ging told me I had to go as well. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to give my roses to Yo, I would have to trust Kit and Beam to do it for me.
From backstage, I watched as Yo knelt with the other contestants at the front of the stage, receiving roses from the students who supported him. I had to bite back my jealousy as person after person came up to my baby and asked to take a selfie with him or hand him roses.

Some were worse than others. A group of five of his friends walked up, pinching my baby's cheeks and handing him several roses each. One of them put his hands dangerously close to Yo's crotch and a couple of the seniors had to stop me from going out there. It was lucky for that kid that Yo was fast, even with arms full of roses, he still managed to avoid being groped.
Another guy walked up to my baby with a bouquet of roses and a stuffed animal. He talked to Yo for a moment, smiling his stupid smile, making me itch to go out there and claim Yo as my own. Where the hell did all these people come from? I was really going to have to keep an eye on him.
All the other contestants were standing up, waiting for the results, but Yo was still at the front of the stage receiving roses from his admiring crowd. I ground my teeth together in frustration until only Kit and Beam were left. They handed Yo a couple of roses each, then Beam leaned over and picked up a huge bouquet and gave them to my baby. As Yo pulled my roses into his arms, his lovely cheeks blushed furiously, making me want to run over and kiss him.
Yo won the awards for Best Skin, Second Runner-up, and Most Popular Moon. I wish I could say that the popular vote was all due to my roses, but from what I had seen, he had won that even before my roses were counted. Yo smiled at me when I tied his Most Popular sash around him and he clapped loudly for his best friend when Ming became the new Campus Moon.
While the judges were deliberating, Kit and Beam had filled my car with all of Yo's roses, but they made it back just in time to watch the actual awards presentation. Then we all stood around backstage, waiting for Yo to be ready to go home.
"You're going to ask him tonight?" Kit asked, hitting me on the back of the head when I didn't answer him the first time. What can I say? I was busy watching my baby.
"Yeah, Beam's going to pick up the gift I got for him while I take N'Yo home," I answered, keeping my eyes on Yo as he took pictures with some of his friends.
"Well, at least you know how he's going to answer," Beam said with a grin.
"I'm not really that sure," I said, trying not to sound too nervous. "I know he likes me, but I'm not sure he's ready to trust me yet. He told me he was trying, so I hope that's going to be enough."
"After that song?" Kit asked, looking at me like I'm a lunatic. "He's going to say yes. You just have to make sure that you hold onto him tightly once he's yours."
"I won't let him go," I promised.
Yo walked over, his arms full of the huge bouquet of roses that I'd gotten for him and bags full of stuffed animals and notes from his admires. I planned to throw those bags out with the trash as soon as possible. Then Ging came over and handed me a garment bag, full of Yo's clothing. Yo thanked Ging for helping and thanked Kit and Beam for their support before finally turning to me, ready to go.
