"Please welcome to the stage Emily with song title for my girlfriend Hanna," as I heard the crowd clap I walked onto stage. I was nervous because Hanna had no idea I was going to do this for her. Hanna and I had gotten into this big fight, which lead to us not speaking for at least three day. Luckily for me the school was having a talent contest, what better way to prove your love to someone then in front of the entire school and parents.
"Hello everyone," I say into the microphone as I sit down the piano. I had kept it a secret that I could play piano and would be performing tonight.
"I hope you are good this fine evening, now I've been given permission to play four songs. So I hope you like the but these are all in dedication to my girlfriend Hanna, I love you so very much whole heartily." I stretch my fingers a little in preparation as people clap in support and when I'm ready I being dancing my fingers across the keys."
Emily: "It's a little bit funny this feeling inside; I'm not one of those who can easily hide. I don't have much money but boy if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live," as I started the song, I hope to sound as dreamy as possible.
Emily: "If I was as sculptor, but then again, no. Or a woman who makes potions in a traveling, I know it's not much but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song and this one's for you and you can tell everybody this is your song. It might be quite simple but not that it'd done, I hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is while you're in the world." Looking out into the crowd, I try my best to find Hanna but I can't see her anywhere.
Emily: "I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss, well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross. But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song; it's for people like you that keep it turned on. So excuse me forgetting but these things I do, you see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue. Anyway the thing I what I really mean, yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen." Finally spotting Hanna in the middle of the far left section, I smiled when I found her before continuing into the last few lines of the song.
Emily: "And you can tell everybody this is your song, it may be quite smile but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world."
"Thank-you," I say as everyone claps. Standing up from the piano stool, I take my mic and make my way over to the middle of stage.
I say into the mic "Sadly I haven't learnt to play guitar, so luckily the school band will back me up. Thank-you guys," I nod my head gesturing for the music to start. Wanting to get the audience involved, I begin clapping in rhythm to the music and the audience soon follows along.
Emily: "You gotta help me, I'm losing my mind. Keep getting the feeling you wanna leave this all behind. Thought we were going strong, I thought we were holding on, aren't we?" The audience continue to clap in tune, I do every now and then but my eyes are focused on Hanna.
Emily: "No, they don't teach you this in school. Now my heart's breaking and I don't know what to do. Thought we were going strong, thought we were holding on, aren't we?" Walking across the stage to the left, I bring my claps up above my head, when I'm in precision I silence the clapping.
Emily: "You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. We could be greatest team that the world has ever seen. You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever." Sitting down on the edge of the stage as I sing out to everyone, I can't help but fall back so I am lying down on the stage with my legs dangling off.
Emily: "All of the rumours, all of the fight," I roll to be lying on my side and looking out at everyone. Seeing Hanna a lazy smile upon Hanna's face, makes me smile before I push myself to stand up.
Emily: "But we always find a way to make it out alive. Thought we were going strong, thought we were holding on, aren't we? You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen. You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever." Crossing to the middle of the stage, I continue singing the song in my own little world.
Emily: "Mini bars, expensive cars, hotel rooms and new tattoos, and the good champagne, and private plans but they don't meant anything. Cause the truth is out, I realize that without you here life is just a life. This is not the end, this is not the end, we can make it, you know it, you know," I put as much honestly into my voice that I possibly could. I want Hanna to know that my life without her was nothing and I wanted her in it.
Emily: "You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen. You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever. You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen. You and me got a whole lot of history, oh. So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever. So don't let me go, so don't let me go. We can live forever. Baby don't you know, baby don't you know, we can live forever." As I finished the song off nice and strong, I can't help but think I had sung really well, just know. I hope Hanna was getting the message; I was trying to get to her through song.
Winking out at Hanna, I turn around and go prepare for my next song. Walking over to the side of stage, I am handed a tuxedo jacket and I quickly chuck it on with my clip on tie. Strutting down to the middle of the stage, I heard a few people whistling at how good I looked all dress up or that's what I took it as.
Speaking into the microphone now attached to a stand, I say "My next song just happens to be my girlfriend's favourite song, so from one boy band to another; let's take it away."
Emily: "If every word I say could make you laugh, I'd talk forever together my love. I ask the sky just what we had, mmm. It shone forever together my love, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my." The music had slowed right down to the pervious song and it allowed the deepness in my voice to appear.
Emily: "If the song I sing to you could fill your heart with joy, I'd sing forever, together my love my, my, my, my. Forever, forever, I've been so happy love you. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do together my love." Since watching Full House together, Hanna has loved this song and always has me sing parts of it before she drifts of to sleep and I was more than happy to do it.
Emily: "Let the love I have for you, live in your heart and beat forever, together my love. Forever, forever, I've been so happy loving you," I point out to Hanna as I sing about loving her forever because it's true; I definitely be happy loving her forever.
Emily: "Baby just let me sing it my baby, I wanna be singing my baby. Baby, baby, baby, my baby, I wanna be singing, I wanna be singing my baby. Oh, oh, oh, oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, so I'm going away, mmm but not forever. Na, na, na, na, I gotta love you anyway. Forever," as I finished the song nice and smooth, I couldn't help the smile that appeared afterwards. It was such a brilliantly written song.
"So, it's come down to my last song, my last chance I guess. Thank-you for allowing me a chance to perform and I hope you've enjoyed yourself. Hanna, I know you also love this song as well and can't resist dancing to it; so feel free to join me," I say into the microphone going over the dance one last time in my mind. Exchanging my hand held microphone for one that hooked around my right ear, went around my head and the mic stopped just in front of me; this would allow me to dance better while singing.
Emily: "Huh, yeah, woo, hey, yeah, huh, ooh, yeah, uh huh, yeah, I want to dance. Clock strikes upon the hour and the sun begins to fade. Still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away. I've don't alright up til now, it's the light of day that shows me how and when the night falls, loneliness calls." I smiled at Hanna reaction; I heard head went back annoyed because she knew I was right, she could not resist dancing to this song.
Emily: "Oh! I wanna dance with somebody; I wanna feel the head with somebody. Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me. Oh! I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the head with somebody. Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me." I began doing different styles of cheesy dancing from shopping cart, to body rolls ad pelvic thrusts, to the running man and the sprinkler. These were very hard moves while wearing a tuxedo jacket but I managed and it got the crowd laughing so it paid off.
Emily: "I've been in love and lost my senses, spinning through the town. Sooner or later the fever ends and I wind up feeling down. I need a woman who'll take a chance, on a love that burns hot enough to last. So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls," I am about to do some more dance moves when I feel a tap on my shoulder. Turning around I am surprised to see Hanna standing there with her own mic like mine.
Smiling, I say "Hanna, ladies and gentleman," I gesture towards Hanna making everyone clap.
Hanna: "Oh! I wanna dance with somebody," I am very surprised when Hanna starts singing; I wasn't really expecting it.
Hanna: "I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me." Hanna takes my hand and begins leading me in a dance; like the waltz.
Emily: "Oh! I wanna dance with somebody; I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me." When I sing, I break out of Hanna's grip and show her my own dance moves.
Hanna: "Somebody who, somebody who, somebody who loves me," Hanna copies the dance I had been doing.
Emily: "Somebody who, somebody who, to hold me in her arms," taking Hanna's hand I spin her into me. Wrapping my arms comfortable around her, we sway nicely with the music and each other.
Hanna: "I need a woman who'll take a chance, on a love that burns hot enough to last. So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls," Hanna turns herself around in my arms.
Emily and Hanna: "Oh! I wanna dance with somebody; I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves. Oh! I wanna dance with somebody; I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me." As we sing together, I move us so we are standing in front of each other but so the audience can see our face. Though looking deeply into Hanna's eyes, I could believe that no one else is in the room.
Hanna: "Uh-huh, dance. Common baby, dance. Woo, yeah, dance. Now get with this, hahaha, whoa, oh, oh," I smiled when Hanna pressed her body flat against mine before having me spin her out and then back in again.
Emily: "Don't you wanna dance with me baby? Don't you wanna dance with my girl? Don't you wanna dance with me baby?" Taking my hands and a step back, I look at Hanna questioning her on whether she does actually want to dance with me
Hanna: "With somebody who loves me," Hanna takes my hand back and pulls me forward. I place one hand on Hanna's back and we begin doing the waltz around the stage.
Emily and Hanna: "Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance? Don't you want dance? Dance, don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance? Don't you wanna dance? Dance, don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance, dance. Uh-huh, with somebody who loves me." Hanna and I finish the song off nicely together and when the music stops, I feel myself let out huge breath. I start sucking in as much air into my lungs as I could, dancing and singing was hard.
The audience start clapping making me smile and come back to reality, "Thank-you everyone, thank-you," I say bowing a couple of times with Hanna. We slowly make our backstage and into the green room, where we rip each other's mics off in need of kissing one another.
"That felt good," Hanna sighed after kissing my lips.
"Agreed, I am so sorry."
"Em, don't apologise. I got your message through the songs, I am so sorry I accused you of not loving me."
"I should've trust you, I just got jealous of him. I got scared, I thought I could lose you and I was an idiot."
"It's okay Emily. I would never leave you for him, it's Hannily forever! I just love you so much, okay?"
"I love you too," I say nodding.
Hanna said "Good. Now let's get home, I want to reward you and I have an itch that needs scratching."
"What about the results?"
"Are you really saying no to have sex with this?" Hanna gestures towards her body.
"Of course not," I say shaking my head and taking Hanna hand.
A/N: Chapter 3 in this story is a little different to the two pervious chapters. This idea just came into my head and I wanted to see if I could make it work, which I hope it did. I only used for song this time but the whole entire song, I didn't want to overboard this chapter with more short songs. Let me know if you prefer full songs or short lines from the story, if you want to that is.
List of Songs Used In This Story:
Your Song by Elton John
History by One Direction
Forever by The Beach Boys
I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston
When I started writing this chapter, in the place on the One Direction song was Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You song, I thought that song would be perfect but I soon realised I had already used it. So One Direction's History song took the songs place, I hope you enjoyed the songs I chose this time. Happy New Year Everyone! I hope your year is going good, so far and keeps getting better ~KJ99!
