This was inspired by CatChester99's "Damon Salvatore - Cowboy Casanova" Youtube video
Matt Donovan and Caroline Forbes were on a date at the Mystic Grill when they saw a flyer for a karaoke contest.
"Wanna try it out?" Matt asked.
"No, singing isn't really my thing-" She was cut off when she saw her ex, Damon Salvatore, walk in with another woman. She suddenly changed her mind. "On second thought, I'd love to try it." She gave Matt her award-winning smile and joined the growing crowd around a small stage built just for the event. A few people from the high school and even their librarian tried out and they were really good. When it was Caroline's turn, she sang the first song that came to her mind. She looked right at the woman holding onto Damon's arm and sang,
"You better take it from me
That boy is like a disease
You're running, you're trying, you're trying to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he's holding you down
'Cause you can't live without one more touch…"
Damon watched her with intense blue eyes.
"He's a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life…"
By now, Damon was smiling his annoying, yet somewhat irresistible smirk, like he knew she was singing about him.
"I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again
'Cause I know where you been
And I know how it ends
You can't get away
Don't even look in his eyes
He'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won't be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice
He's a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
Run run away
Don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
He'll break your heart
It's just a matter of time
But just remember
He's a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life"
Everyone cheered for her, especially Matt. Damon raised a glass to her and drank the amber liquid inside. When she rejoined Matt, he asked,
"I thought you hated country music."
"The song just seemed right for the moment." Her eyes strayed towards Damon once again, seeing him watching her also. She frowned and looked back into Matt's sweet blue eyes. She smiled, relieved that he was such a good friend and that she was away from Damon.
