Mia started up the music with her fiddle and I came in with my guitar. The song that she was playing was an older song than what we were used to, but it was a favorite of mine.
You're so complicated
You hang over my shoulder when I read my mail
I don't appreciate it
When I talk to other guys, you think they're on my tail
I get so aggravated
When I get off the phone and get the third degree
I'm really feelin' frustrated
Why don't you take a pill and put a little trust in me and you'll see
Don't freak out until you know the facts
Relax
Don't be stupid, you know I love ya
Don't be ridiculous, you know I need ya
Don't be absurd, you know I want ya
Don't be impossible, oh oh oh
I'm mad about you
I can't live without you
I'm crazy about you
Don't be stupid, you know I love ya
Stop overreacting
You even get suspicious when I paint my nails
It's definitely distracting
The way you dramatize every small detail
Don't freak out until you know the facts
Relax
Don't be stupid, you know I love ya
Don't be ridiculous, you know I need ya
Don't be absurd, you know I want ya
Don't be impossible, oh oh oh
I'm mad about you
I can't live without you
I'm crazy about you
Don't be stupid, you know I love ya
Don't be stupid
You're my baby
Ohh I'm mad about you
I can't live without you
I'm crazy about you
Don't be stupid, you know I love ya
Don't be ridiculous, you know I need ya
Don't be absurd, you know I want ya
Don't be impossible, impossible oh
Don't be, don't be, don't be baby
Don't be ridiculous no no
Oh don't be stupid
The crowd clapped and cheered when Mia and I stopped playing. The song was a big hit around here, and even though it didn't fit my situation with Dimitri, it was a great song.
Mia and I looked at each other while we thought of another song. Lissa joined us with another guitar that Linda had and mentioned a song that we knew Linda loved.
Life was goin great
Love was gonna have to wait
Was in no hurry had no worries
Stayin single was the plan
Didn't need a steady man
I had it covered till I discovered
That love gets me every time
My heart changed my mind
And I gol' darn gone and done it
Gone and done it
I guess I fell in love
Must've been the way he walked
Or his sweet, sweet talk
I guess I gol' darn gone and done it
I was quite content
Just a payin' my own rent
It was my place, I needed my space
I was free to shop around
In no rush to settle down
I had it covered till I discovered
That love gets me every time
My heart changed my mind
And I gol' darn gone and done it
Gone and done it
I guess I fell in love
Must've been the way he walked
Or his sweet, sweet talk
I guess I gol' darn gone and done it
That love gets me every time
My heart changed my mind
And I gol' darn gone and done it
Gone and done it
I guess I fell in love
Must've been the way he walked
Or his sweet, sweet talk
It's in the way he calls my name
And I know I'll never be the same
Don't you know the love gets me every time
My heart changed my mind
Well I gol' darn gone and done it.
More cheers and hollers from the crowd. Dimitri was watching me carefully and with a proud expression on his face. The smile he was giving me was one of those rare, full smiles that made his eyes sparkle. It made him ten times more perfect than before.
Mia nudged my arm and whispered into my ear. "Do Boy Like Me. They'd love to hear the Angels' new song." She winked at me and told Lissa what was going on. Oh I was going to love this.
We started up the music and when the crowd heard the fast paced notes, they got excited again.
Yeah, yeah!
You're the kinda boy who likes the kinda girls
That like to fool around with the boys on the first date
I'm the kinda girl who ain't supposed to like those boys
But I kinda like those boys that like those kinda girls
Well, maybe it's fate, we should meet up for a date
So we can sit around and talk about
Those things we just can't talk about
Like making love and drinking til the sun comes up
Well, hallelujah, I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy, I think I'm in a fantasy
You been talking lots of stuff, saying what you gonna do
And what do you wanna do with me?
Well, hallelujah, finally found a boy like me
You're the kinda boy my daddy used to warn
Would walk into my life and lead me down the wrong way
I'm the kinda girl who tried hard to ignore
Those things that daddy warned about the those kinda boys
Well, what's a girl to do with a big ol' boy like you?
When we sit around and talk about
Those things we just can't talk about
Like making love and drinking till the sun comes up
Well, hallelujah, I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy, I think I'm in a fantasy
You been talking lots of stuff, saying what you gonna do
And what do you wanna do with me?
Well, hallelujah, finally found a boy like me
We sit around and talk about
Those things we just can't talk about
Like making love and drinking till the sun comes up
Well, hallelujah, I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy, I think I'm in a fantasy
You been talking lots of stuff, saying what you gonna do
And what do you wanna do with me?
Well, hallelujah, Lord have mercy
Hallelujah, I finally found a boy like me
I smiled down to Dimitri and winked. He blushed but shook his head and smiled back. He had never heard that song before so having me sing that song without him to hear how I pretty much threw our love life up and into the crowd embarrassed him a little.
Mia, Lissa, and I jumped ship and made our way back to the bar to give our instruments back. We rejoined the guys who were all beaming with pride and love for their girl. When I sat down. Dimitri wrapped his arms around me and I had a feeling that he wasn't going to let me leave.
"That was fantastic!" Christian gushed as he kissed Lissa all over.
"Did I hear a new single from the Tarnished Angels?" Eddie asked as he wrapped his fingers around Mia's curls absentmindedly.
"Maybe. Or maybe I like seeing Dimitri blush at our love life being public," I teased. This made everyone laugh and Dimitri hug me closer.
After what felt like ages, we finally packed up to leave. Mia and I split our winnings from the three pool games that we won in the car while we got chastised from Eddie and Dimitri about gambling. Lissa fell asleep on Christian's shoulder half way home.
When Dimitri pulled into our driveway, everyone got out and went into the house. I went to the barn to take care of the animals. It had been a long day and I needed to wind down and be the other hen to the horses, Saint, and Mia's damn cat.
I opened the barn door to be welcomed by Dixie who called out to me. I laughed as I opened the garbage bin that held the horse feed. I shoveled two scoops of the oats into Elliot's, Luna's, and Dixie's pals and hung the up on the nails that were made for the food buckets. I got Saint's food out and put it by his bed in the corner of the barn and did the same for the cat. Both the cat and Saint were out of the barn so I figured that they were out hunting something in the woods.
I grabbed a brush and started to untangle Dixie's mane. This always was a slow process, but it also helped both of us fall asleep easier with the rhythmic motions of the brush going through the hair. I got so into the motions that I didn't hear Dimitri come into the barn until he moved into my line of vision.
"Hey there," I said smiling a little.
"Hey. Having fun?" He nodded towards the brush in my hands.
"Yeah. It helps her fall asleep easier. That and I won't have to do this in the morning like Mia and Liss will with Elliot and Luna."
Dimitri got quiet after that. He didn't answer me or anything. I looked up from my work and looked up at him. He was staring down at the hay while he leaned against a post connected to Dixie's stall.
"Comrade? You okay?"
Cliffhanger! Sorry but i couldn't help myself :) umm... OH! i don't own Shania's or Jessica's songs there. Hope you liked it! PS- I am going to put the names and artists to all the songs that i have used at the end of this story so in two more chapters.
