I Only Want to be with You
The next night they were at work as usual only tonight was karaoke night and everybody was up singing. About thirty people had been up
already, 14 of them were Elvis impersonator, 10 were couples singing duets, one got up and sang Poker Face, another, four sang Don't Stop Me Now as a group and finally Magnus herself got and did a wonderful performance of Who Wants to Live Forever.
When she was done and got a deafening round of applase she smiled and said "Thank you, and now are DJ Henry wish to perform a song by famous band from my home country, Duran Duran".
The music began and Henry took the mic and began to sing
"Dark in the City, Night is a wire"
"Steam in the Subway, earth is afire"
"Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, dodo, dododo, dodo"
"Women you want me, give me a sign"
"And catch my breathing even closer behind"
"Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, dodo, dododo, dodo"
"In touch with the ground"
"I'm on the hunt i'm after you"
"Smell like i sound, I'm lost in the crowd"
"And i'm hungry like the wolf"
"Straddle in line, in discord and rhyme"
"I'm on the hunt, i'm after you"
"Mouth is alive, with juices like wine"
"And i'm hungry like the wolf"
Kate, Ashley were at the bar talking to Will but when Henry started singing their jaws dropped, praticularly Kate's. "I didn't know Henry could sing that well" he said. "Hey I've known him my whole life and i didn't know it either" Ashley said.
Kate whispered "Damn him". "What " they asked in unison. "Nothing it just something i'ver got to do" she said before heading toward the stage. "What's that all about" Helen asked who appeared as Kate headed to the stage."I think i know" Will said. Ashley nodded in agreement.
Kate got on the stage and sang as the music began.
"Stupid Cupid your a real mean guy"
"I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly"
"I'm in love and it's a crying shame"
"And i know that you're the one to blame"
"Hey, Hey set me free"
"Stupid Cupid stop picking on me"
"I can't do my homework"
"And I can't think staight"
"I meet him every morning"
"At 'Bout half past eight"
"I'm acting like a lovesick fool"
" You even got me carrying his books to school"
"Hey Hey set me free"
"Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me"
"You mixed me up for good"
"Right from the very start"
"Hey go play Robin Hood"
"With somebody else's heart"
"You got me jumping like a crazy clown"
"And i don't feature what your puttin' down"
"Well since i kissed his loving lips of wine"
"And the thing that bothers me is"
"That i like it fine"
"Hey, hey set me free"
"Stupid Cupid stop picking on me"
During the entire song, Kate had been moving towards Henry and pulled him on satge and danced with him during the song and when the song was finished she kissed him and whispered "I love you" while the entire audience cheered.
Will and Ashley too were cheering and Ashley turned to Will and said "Pay close attention to the next song". Ashley got up on the stage and took the mic off Kate said "This is for a special guy". As the music began she looked at Will and sang
"I don't know what it is that makes me love you so"
"I only know i never want to let you go"
"Cause you've started something"
"Oh can't you see?"
"That ever since we met"
"You've got a hold on me"
"It happens to be true"
"I only want to be with you"
"It doesn't matter where you go or what you do"
"I want to spend each moment of the day with you"
"Oh look what has happened with just one kiss"
"I never knew i could be in love like this"
"It's crazy but it's true"
"I only want to be with you"
At the end of the song Ashley jumped off the stage and ran up to Will and kissed him hard on the lips. Kate and Henry and Helen's jaws dropped. The Big Guy smiled happily and the crowd cheered. "I love you" she whispered to Will.
Helen came over to Will and Ashley and said "I need to see both of you in my office imediately". They were confused but they obeyed and followed Helen through the cheering crowd.
Finally they arrived in her office and she sat down at the desk and asked "What was that all about?". "Mom, listen i know you probably don't approve but I love Will" she said.
"Ashley, you're 24 you don't know what love is, and Will is 6 years your senior" she said. "So what, you were much younger than me when you fell in love and got pregent, you were only 19" Ashley said.
"I just don't want history to repeat itself" she said. "It wouldn't Mom" she pleaded. "I wish i could believe that" she said before turning to Will who had been silent the whole time and said "I'll make this simple for you Will, you can either end this relationship with my daughter or you can find yourself another job and place to live"
"You can't do that" he said. "This is my club and Ashley is my daughter so i can do whatever i want when they're involved" she said. "No Magnus, you can't just bully me into give up the love of my life".
"Love of your life" Ashley repeated and looked at Will who smiled and she smiled back at him. "You know what Magnus you can take your ultimatium and this job and stick were the sun don't shine because I'm never going to stop loving Ashley, I'll love her for infinity and beyond"
Magnus was speechless but managed to whisper "Get out of my club". Will headed out of the office with Ashley just about ot follow him when said "If you walk out that door Ashley, don't you ever come back" she said.
She followed Will without looking back and as they walked down the hall they pasted the Big Guy who was heading towards Helen's office. They left the club and got on Ashley's motorbike and drove off.
The Big Guy headed into Helen's office after hearing the entire conversation from the hall and said "You're making a mistake". "Leave me alone" she said . He did not move but simply said "Helen". "LEAVE ME ALONE she shouted before breaking down into tears. The Big Guy walked up to her and hugged her tigh letting her know it would be okay. But truthfully he knew it wouldn't.
Outside the club a tall bald man in a long black coat and with a scar on his face looked at the club smiling to himself. "Excuse me can i help you" said a young woman heading home. Her name was Becky and she was a college student out with her had decided to head back to the dorms on her own.
"I think so " he said before heading over to her the way a predator advances on it's prey. Becky backed away slowly into an alleyway. She turned to run but he was too qucik for her appearing behind her at the instant she turned around. He was smiling, the same smile a crocodile has when it's about to eat. She tried to scream as the cold long steel of the knife made it's way into her stomach but he covered her mouth.
He pushed the body into the the wall of the allay and cleaned the knife on her jeans and said to himself "I'm coming for you Helen"
