Delilah was crying softly in her roon. She did this every once in a while when everything got to be too much, but only when she thought no one was listening. She heard a soft knock on her door and Julius came in. He attached his iPod to her speakers, fiddled with it for a moment, then went and sat beside Delilah. Julius put his arm around Delilah and pulled a Kleenex out of his pocket and offered it to her. Delilah accepted it and began to wipe her eyes. Soft piano music was coming from his iPod.

"Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here take my Kleenex
Wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face
Clean as the morning
I know things were bad
But now they're okay

Suddenly Seymour
Is standing beside you
You don't need no makeup
Don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding
Seymour's your friend

Nobody ever
Treated me kindly
Daddy left early
Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and
I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers
Me, I'd say 'sure'

Suddenly Seymour
Is standing beside me
He don't give me orders
He don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide me
Sweet understanding
Seymour's my friend

Tell me this feeling lasts til forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it's still
Strange and frightnin'
For losers like I've been
It's so hard to say

Suddenly Seymour
He purified me (you)
Suddenly Seymour showed me I (you) can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me (you)
With sweet understanding
Seymour's my (your) man"


When the song was over, Julius hugged Delilah.

"Thanks, I needed that," Delilah said softly, still crying a bit.

"You know that I'll always be here for you, right?" Julius asked.

"Uh huh," Delilah said softly.

"So, would you like to go to a fancy restaurant with me tonight, at seven?"

"Okay."

Delilah and Julius moved toward each other, and started to kiss softly. It was perfect, and no one interupted them.

(a/n: Heeey. Okay, this song is "Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors and I LOVE it. Weirdly enough, I get "Dentist!", also from LSoH, stuck in my head more often. I also love the voice for Audrey II. Moving on. Last chapter was "Baby got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot. Gotta love the 80s. :D)
