A/N: Thanks for all of your reviews. They really do make my day. Keep it up… Thx.
Bella.
Karaoke night was quickly approaching… unfortunately. Tell me why I agreed to go again? Oh, yeah that's right for my family and friends. The things I do for them. But I wont complain, I'm more of the suffer in silence type.
It was Friday and I was walking out to the parking lot to meet Alice by her car when the queen bee struts over here. Insert scoff here.
"Swan, why weren't you here, for like, ever. And how's my Edward?" She arched an eyebrow, and flipped her blonde hair over here shoulder.
"Lauren, I don't have to tell you. Now move," I put on a fake smile. She just looked me up and down and was inches from my face. She was about to say something, but I cut her off.
"Ew! Lauren I don't roll like that! Get away from me! Go kiss Jessica Stanley! I have a boyfriend!" I yelled. The people around me started laughing and pointing. I ran away from a dumbstruck Lauren to an insanely handsome bronze haired God.
"Hey hot stuff," I told him and winked. He arched an eyebrow.
"What was going on over there?" He asked. I pushed my hand through his hair. Loving that I was able to do that anytime I want to now.
"Hmmm?" I murmured completely distracted. Then I remembered, "Oh, just giving Lauren like an I don't know like uhh what's it called?" I flipped my hair back with exaggeration earning a laugh from Alice and Edward.
"Bella just told Lauren off. Look at her," Alice pointed to Lauren. I looked over at here to see her little group of followers telling everyone to leave her along and giving her make-up touch ups.
"Ok… let's go before I loose some brain cells," I hissed. We walked over to Alice's Porsche and I ran to the passenger seat before Edward could.
"Shot gun!" I yelled. Edward just scrunched up his nose and hopped in the back seat.
"Whipped," Alice sung under her breath. I stifled a chuckle.
"I am not! Why does everyone keep saying that?" Edward whined from the back seat. I rolled my eyes, then I decided to mess with him a bit.
I winked at Alice and she caught on. "Edward." I said in a stern voice. "Knock it off,"
He huffed and mumbled something under his breath.
"Edward, how old are you again?" I asked
"Bella, please,"
"I'm asking you a question," I told him staring intently at him.
"Whatever," He replied.
"That's not how you're supposed to act, or speak to your love," I told him feigning hurt.
"I'm sorry Bella…I didn't mean anything by it," Edward back peddled. I smacked his head.
"What was that for?"
"I was teasing you the whole time, idiot," Alice the busted out laughing then.
"I'm sorry," She kept mumbling and laughing.
Edward ignored her. "Bella, I'm shocked. How could you speak like that to your love?" Ah. So he wanted to play that game now did he?
"Fine, I won't speak to my love at all," I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Ohhhh… Edward you're in trouble!" Alice dragged out the word.
"Shut up Alice," He growled. "Bella… Bella…Love…" I ignored him all the times that he that he called my name.
"Edward, if you want her to talk to her, tell her how much you love her," Alice said, and I tried to hide my smirk.
"Isabella Marie, I love you more than anyone has loved another person. You are my sky, my star, my everything. I'm sorry for what I said I know I was acting like a jerk. I love you," He finished with a sigh.
"Awww," Alice and I said at the same time.
"Thanks, you know I'd do anything for you," He kissed my hand. Alice and I looked at each other and said;
"Whipped,"
Edward.
"Come on ladies," Emmett called out from the kitchen. It was Saturday and we all were ready to get ready to go to that karaoke place. Wait scratch that—us guys were ready. The girls still weren't.
All we had to do was shower and change into nice clothes. Why do girls always drag it out? What could they possibly be doing for… 2 ½ hours?
"It's all about patience," Rosalie sang out back to him.
"Ha-ha. Patience," Emmett said to himself. He came back in the room with a Coke in his hand.
He looked at Jasper and I.
"Did you want something?" Jasper and I looked at each other than shook are head as we looked at Emmett.
He sat down on the couch. "Good. 'Cause I wasn't going to get you anything,"
The girls came down then, Rosalie first.
She was wearing a crimson red v-neck dress. It reached her knees. Her shoes looked to be about 6' high. How she wore those without tripping is a mystery to me. She ran straight to Emmett.
"You be lookin' fine, ma," He said to her. Why was he always acting like a gangster? I mean come on. That guy is so pale.
"Thanks, babe," Ew gross. Now they were kissing.
Next was Alice. She was wearing a halter top purple dress. It came just above her knees. She was wearing 4' heels. Now, why was she dressed like that?
I walked over to her.
"Alice, no. I will not let you leave Emmett's apartment dressed like," I gestured to her dress. "That,"
She shook her head at me. "Edward don't worry about me. I have Jazz," She took Jasper hand and he kissed it lightly. "Quit talking to me, and go get Bella,"
I turned around to see Bella standing there wearing a midnight blue dress that went to her knees. All though she wasn't wearing heels, she was wearing brown flats, they made her legs look miles long.
"Hey lover," She hummed in my ear. I wrapped my arm around her waist.
"Hello to you too," I brushed my lips across her sweet plump ones.
"Let's go, before Eddie-boy here gets carried away," Of course Emmett was the one to break the moment.
"Let's get outta here," Bella winked. If only she was implying something else…
We made it to Emmett's new favorite place, the karaoke place. And, that's what it was called.
It bright pink neon lights flashing was 'The Karaoke place,'
Wow. Someone was creative. Sarcastic mark!
I heard Bella groan lightly. I turned to face her and held her hand. "It will be alright, love."
"But… Ok, fine,"
"Don't worry I wont let them make you sing," I whispered to her. She nodded.
"Ok. I picked a song for everyone to sing!" Alice exclaimed sitting down at our table. Her eyes were shining with pure excitement.
"Alice, I thought you were going to the bathroom?" Rosalie asked her.
"I got sidetracked," She took a sip of her drink looking away, avoiding all of our questioning eyes.
A blonde young man, maybe twenty years old, walked over to the microphone.
"Hi Dan!" Emmett shouted. Dan scanned the crowed until he found Emmett and waved back.
"Hey Emmett! Thanks for coming!" He said, in an excided voice.
"Chill out," I heard Bella mumble. I skimmed my fingertips along her spine, and felt her back arch at my touch.
"Ok, so first up we have Rosalie Hale-almost Swan- singing…" He glanced down at his clipboard. "I kissed a girl, by Katy Perry!" He shouted and everyone cheered. Rosalie took a sip of her drink.
"I'm up." She took another gulp of her wine. "I'm going to need as much as that as I can take if I'm going up there,"
She made her way up there a little tipsy. She grabbed the microphone from Dan. "Thanks, Danny. Ok is everyone ready to party!?" The crowd cheered for her.
"I love a drunk Rosalie," Emmett said to himself, staring at her from afar. "Go Rosie!" He yelled, Rose threw a wink at him.
"Hit it!" She giggled. Uh-oh. Looks like Alice, Bella or I will have to be our designated driver tonight.
(A/N: If anyone does not like to read the lyrics to the songs then, you can just skip over them if you like. :) Sorry if you don't like it when I put them in here! My apologies.)
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter,
You're my experimental game
Just human nature,
It's not what,
Good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it,
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
"Thank you everyone! I love you all!" Rosalie shouted into the mic before getting off stage.
"That was so much fun!" She shouted at us once she sat down.
"Next up we have… Alice Cullen singing… Circus by Brittney Spears!" Dan shouted, pumping up the crowd.
Alice sang her song and she was having so much fun out there. That girl had no shame.
Emmett was up after her singing Heartless by Kanye West he was thrilled when he heard he was singing it. After him was Jasper. Jazz sang Gives You Hell by All American Rejects.
After him, I was next. I didn't want to go, but I had to show Bella there was nothing to be scared about.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Bella Swan will be singing with Edward here," I saw Bella almost choke on her drink.
I also heard her arguing with Alice about how she shouldn't go. I walked back over to the table just to tell her everything was fine.
Bella.
Was Alice insane? She really needs to learn, when enough is enough. I saw Edward walking over to the table.
"It's ok, Bells. I will be with you. Don't worry, come on." I eventually gave in. Damn him and his eloquence.
We walked up to the stage hand and hand. Dan handed each of us our microphones. "Have fun, kids,"
Right. I'm going to have loads of fun.
"Bella. I'm right here. Just look into my eyes. No one else is here. Pretend we are back in our meadow just singing together," He persuaded. I exhaled and nodded.
"What song are we singing anyways?" I whispered to him, he shrugged.
When the song started playing I recognized it immediately.
(a/n: Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat. Again, you don't have to read the lyrics. They are just there for you, for no particular reason.)
(Edward)
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Edward held my hand the whole time. Not breaking his gaze.
(Bella)
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I started to feel more, and more confident when I heard the cheers from the crowd.
(Both)
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
(Both)
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
(Both)
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
(Edward)
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
He pushed my hair behind my ear. I blushed, of course, what else is new?
(Bella)
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I held onto his shirt tightly with my hands.
(Both)
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooooh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Once the song was over Edward crashed his lips to mine. I could hear everyone saying 'awww' and 'ooohh'. But, I didn't care.
At first I was caught off guard. Then I threw my arms around his neck. He picked my up bridal style, not breaking the kiss, and walked back over to the table.
"You rocked Bella!" Alice said, well more like shouted.
"Edward, take your lips off my sister," Emmett said in a menacing voice. Edward quickly moved away from me.
Emmett laughed a booming laugh. "Your too gulable," Edward rolled his eyes.
"You really were amazing, Bells. Who knew you could sing!" Emmett teased. I mumbled him a thanks, hiding my blush.
"What about me? Don't I get praised? I thought I was pretty good," He teased back.
"Sorry, you weren't that good," I replied, messing with him. "But, you are good at one thing," I whispered, staring at his lips the whole time.
"And what would that be Swan?" He asked his voice seductive.
"I'll give you one hint," I pressed my lips to his and heard Alice and Rosalie saying 'How cute,'
I heard Emmett say to Jasper in a hushed tone, "He's still whipped,"
A/N: Whew! Hope you liked the chapter!
I will update soon! Thanks to all of your amazing reviews!
And, once again, I know some people don't like it when an author puts the lyrics to a song in their story, but I don't know why I did it. Probably just to make the karokee scene come more to life.
Anyhoo… Review.
