Chapter 7
"Finally!" Donny smiled at me. "We're actually married. We made it to our wedding reception and soon we will be on our honeymoon."
I smiled at him.
Donny sighed. "Okay, I know that smile. What's wrong? Come on, tell me."
I continued smiling but I looked away and took a sip of my drink.
"Are you kidding?" Donny rolled his eyes. "You're mad at me? How can you be mad at me? Well, actually, I see why you would be mad at me. But I'm sorry. I said I was sorry and you still married me, didn't you?"
I watched Mikey dance. He was doing the robot.
"Why won't you talk to me?" Donny went in front of my face so that I would look at him.
"What are you doing?" I started to laugh at him.
"Is something wrong?" Donny asked.
I stared at him confused. "Wrong? What makes you think something's wrong?" I stood up and announced, "EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL!"
Donny grabbed me and pushed me back in my seat. "Are you being sarcastic? Because I can never tell when you're being sarcastic."
I turned to him. "You know what?" I spilled my drink on the floor. "Oh...Darn...It..." I stared at the floor.
Donny gave me a weird look. "Ann?" He took my drink and took a sip of what was left in the cup. "Wine?! What do you think your doing with wine? You're not supposed to have wine!"
"Hey--Give that back. That's mine..." I started reaching for the cup but Donny held it away.
"Um, no. You can't have this!" Donny placed the cup on the other side of the table we were sitting at. "I know your little arms can't reach that."
I stood up and walked over to the other end of the table. "My legs can." I replied smiling.
Donny ran over to me and grabbed the cup. He drank the rest of it and put it back on the table. "There. Now you really can't get anymore."
I walked over to the beverage table ignoring Donny. "Hi!" I smiled to the person who was pouring the drinks. "Can I have some W--"
Donny put his hand over my mouth. "Water." he finished my sentence.
I pushed him away. "Wine. He meant to say wine." I corrected.
"No!" Donny shouted.
"Shut up!" I yelled in reply.
"What are you two doing?" Leo came over.
"Uh--Nothing! Go away!" Donny pushed Leo away.
"Here you go..." the lady handed me my drink and stared at us uneasily.
"Thanks!" I smiled. I took the wine and stared at the lady.
"Can I get you anything else?" she asked slowly.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Ann--" Donny cut in.
I pushed him away and listened to the lady.
"Krista..." Krista seemed scared.
"Well, Krista," I patted her on her shoulder. "You're doing a very nice job pouring those drinks!" I turned around and went back to my seat.
Krista stood there confused and Donny bowed to her nervously. "I--I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." he ran after me. "Ann! What do you think your doing?"
I handed him my cup. "I'm thirsty..."
Donny stared into my cup wide-eyed. "You drank that whole thing already?!"
I left. "Krista!"
Donny put the cup down on the table and ran after me. "Ann!"
"Hi, Krista!" I smiled.
"Do you want more wine?" she asked.
"No!" Donny replied.
I glared at him. "Yes!"
Krista poured me another glass of wine and I left.
Donny glared at Krista. "I'll have a talk with you later!"
"Huh?" Krista was confused.
Donny followed me back to our table again. "Listen, Ann--"
"I wanna dance!" I ran onto the dance.
"Oh, God forbid!" Donny chased after me.
Donny was getting pushed and pulled by all the other people on the dance floor. He was trying to make his way to me. "A--Ann! Ann!" he reached me and I was taking another sip of my wine. He snatched it out of my hand. "Ann, knock it off!" he turned around to put it on a tray a waitress was carrying. At the same time, I turned around to another waitress, who was carrying more drinks, and took one. Donny and I turned back around at the same time. He did a double take on my drink. "Where did you get that?"
"Champagne!" I smiled and held it up.
Donny grabbed the cup and handed it to some random person dancing next to him. "Alright, come with me." he grabbed me by the arm and led me back to our table.
"Where did you take my champagne go?" I asked disappointed.
Donny gave me a weird look. "What?" he shook his head to clear it. "You know what, never mind. The only thing you're drinking for the rest of tonight, and hopefully the rest of your life, is water. Okay?"
"Only water?" I repeated.
"Only water." Donny nodded his head slowly.
"But what about--"
"No more wine or champagne."
"--Soda?" I squeaked.
"Okay," Donny sighed. "You can have soda and water. But that's it."
"What about milk? I can't drink milk for the rest of my life?" I asked.
"Well, you can drink milk, too." Donny agreed.
"I don't like milk..." I shook my head.
"Alright, fine! Don't drink milk! Just no wine or champagne, okay?" Donny made sure I got it through my head.
"What about the beer over there?" I asked slowly pointing.
Donny mocked me and slowly shook his head. "No beer..."
I sighed. "You're no fun..."
Donny rolled his eyes. "Oh, God, here we go..."
Donny plopped me on my bed. "Here we are! We're home!" he stared at me. "Your still drunk..." he muttered.
The phone rang and Donny picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hi, is Ann there?"
"Yes. Who is this?" Donny asked.
"Her father." Shredder replied.
"Okay, uh...Hold on." Donny put the phone down and made me sit up. "Ann," he whispered so Shredder wouldn't over hear. "Your father's on the phone."
I started singing. "When marimba rhythms start to play. Dance with me, make me sway. Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore. Hold me close, sway me more!"
"Ann?" Donny shook me.
I continued to sing. "Like a flower bending in the breeze. Bend with me, sway with ease. When we dance you have a way with me. Stay with me, sway with me!"
Donny looked around. "Crud..." he picked up the phone. "Shredder?"
"What are you two doing over there?" Shredder asked.
"Um..."
"Can I speak with my daughter or are you going to take her away from me again?"
"Hey, you're the one who--Never mind. Ann's, um..." Donny watched me.
I sang like no one was listening. "Other dancers may be on the floor. Dear, but my eyes will see only you. Only you have the magic technique. When we sway I go weak!"
"She's busy at the moment..." Donny sighed.
"Well, I'll wait. I want to talk to my daughter before she leaves for her honeymoon tomorrow morning." Shredder replied.
"It might take a while." Donny stated.
"What is she doing?" Shredder asked.
I blurted out the song. "I can hear the sounds of violins. Long before it begins. Make me thrill as only you know how. Sway me smooth, sway me now..."
Donny rubbed his forehead. "I have no idea..."
"What's that noise in the background?" Shredder wondered.
Donny realized he was talking about me singing. "Um..."
I sat up. "Other dancers may be on the floor. Dear, but my eyes will..."
Donny pushed me back down and threw a pillow on my face. "That must have been Mikey," he laughed. "It's gone now, though, right?"
I threw the pillow off of my face. "SWAY WITH ME!!"
"No." Shredder muttered.
Donny threw the pillow on my face again and then leaned on it. "Uh, you know what? We'll call you at the airport tomorrow, okay? Bye!" Donny hung up the phone before Shredder could reply and took the pillow off of my face. "Ann?" There was no reply. I was asleep. Donny sighed and turned out the lights. "My honeymoon is going to be a blast..." he said sarcastically leaving the room.
