Kristina had gone home, put on her music, and got herself a glass of sweet tea. She went upstairs and started to go through her closet. She had no idea on what she was going to wear tonight... She knew that she didn't want to get too dressed up because after all it was Jake's, but then again it was a special occasion. She picked out a cute black dress, a pair of heels. Her hair she had put up and had curls coming down the back. Her makeup looked beautiful. She headed downstairs when the doorbell rang. She went to open it, and just stared at Ethan. Her heart started racing. He looks hot she thought to herself. He even had his hair down; she had never seen him with his hair down before.
"Good evening, luv", he said as he handed her a bouquet of beautiful flowers and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"You look, um…. Incredible", blushing as the words come out of her mouth.
"I could say the same, but I think gorgeous is the word I am looking for", he said as she turned around to head into the kitchen to put the flowers in the vase and he leaned forward and kissed the spot on her neck where it met her collarbone.
She gasped surprised by his actions. She had no idea why he was torturing her. He hadn't said they were "dating" or told her how he felt about her. She could only continue hoping that he might open his eyes soon.
As Ethan pulled away dealing with the shock of electricity that was running through him. He smiled a little and realized tonight that tonight she was going to realize what she meant to him, and he was going to show her as well.
"Are you ready to go luv", he asked opening the door for her.
"Sure, we should get there a little early, so I can make sure everything is all set up.", she answered touching him lightly on his arm before heading to the car.
As they drove to Jake's there was a little bit of silence, both of them with their heads full of questions.
"Ethan, I was wondering what you are doing next Saturday night", she asked smiling.
He knew where this was going, but was waiting for her to ask him this time.
"Not sure, we haven't gotten through this Saturday night and you want to go out with me again. What if tonight ends in some horrible disaster and you never want to see me again", he wondered.
"First off, as long as I am with you on a "DATE", I don't think anything could go wrong, and second , I have been waiting so long to date you that I would already risk taking a chance asking you on a second date", she said as she brushed imaginary crumbs off of her dress.
"Hmmm, good points I can see that but when did we start dating?" he questioned her.
"Umm I mean ... I, um well", she was at a loss for words, that she forgot what she was going to ask him in the first place.
"Don't worry Kristina, we will have all of our answers by the end of the night", he responded as he gently laid his hand on top of hers.
They had walked into Jake's and everything looked great. She had recruited Maxi to help her out with the decorations. The karaoke was all set up.
"Perhaps they will ask you to do an encore appearance." she laughed slapping him on the shoulder.
"I am counting on it", he smiled and kissed her cheek.
Now Sam and Jason were no ordinary couple. Jason had said he didn't want to go out to a strip club. It just wasn't his thing. Sam also decided that strippers were not for her either so they opted on having a party together. Instead of your typical favors of penis's and boobs they had someone make solid chocolate bolts that looked like Sam's ring… it was so them.
Things were going well, seemed like everyone in Port Charles was there, drinking, laughing, and having a good time. Kristina knew she would have to make some sort of speech considering she was the maid of honor.
Kristina stood up and took the microphone.
"Hey there, everyone having a good time? As maid of honor I am sorry to break the news to some of you that there will be no strippers tonight of any sorts for your viewing pleasure, but we are going to kick things off and get the karaoke box warmed up. Anyone wanting a turn please feel free. Drink, have a good time, and enjoy yourselves."
Ethan couldn't believe this was the same girl he had first said "HELLO" to one day as she was standing there all shy in her school uniform. He was amazed at how much her inner beauty had come out to mix with her outer beauty. He finally admitted to himself what he had been denying himself for so long; he was in love with Kristina. Tonight he would show her just how much she means to him.
Coleman was standing at the microphone, "Perhaps we can get the "Thunder from down under" up here for an encore performance of his last karaoke song, since everyone else hasn't had enough to drink yet to have the balls to come up here and sing."
Ethan walked up to the stage, told Coleman what he was going to be singing and grabbed the microphone.
"Happy to help, Mate", he said moving down the stage.
The music started playing and he got the shit eating grin on his face as he started moving doing his little shimmys and shakes to the intro to the song. Flashed a smile to Kristina and winked at her and started to sing…
All you got is this moment
Twenty – first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah but that's okay.
(He continued dancing around and moving around the floor)
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind (he sang that line and pointed to Kristina)
(Everyone is hooting and hollering, whistling, which just egged him on even more)
I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you girl
You make me sweat
How do you feel
I'm lonely (everyone yells out)
What do you think
Can't take it all (everyone yells)
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna live my life. (everyone yells)
So slide over here (he sang as he slid across the stage and threw in a couple of spins)
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
Your one of my kind!
Everyone was clapping and cheering and slapping Ethan on the back. It didn't take long before Kristina had her arms around him telling him what a great job he had done. They headed out to the dance floor and started dancing. He couldn't believe how amazing her body felt pressed up against him. They fit so nicely together. As Ethan held her tight, he was blowing ever so softly into her ear.
"Are you going to be torturing me for the rest of the night?" she asked him looking into his eyes.
"The verdict is still out on that one", he replied pulling her closer to him.
"You do realize, Ethan that two can play this game" she whispered as imagined the havoc that she could create on his body to make him scream her name.
A few people had left, many others had gone up on stage to karaoke, and make fools of themselves. Ethan had walked over to Coleman and leaned in to tell him something. Coleman just nodded like had already knew what was going on. Just then Coleman went onto the little stage and put out a stool and brought out a guitar.
"We have a special surprise tonight to go above and beyond our karaoke. It's Mr. Ethan Lovett singing and playing his guitar put your hands together for Ethan, "Coleman said walking away from the microphone.
Everyone was clapping and Kristina was just staring at him in amazement, she had no idea that he played the guitar. Ethan put the strap over his shoulder and pulled out a pick and cleared his throat.
"Thanks, thank you everyone. I would like to dedicate this song to a special woman in my life. She has waited a long time for some answers from me and I thought she would enjoy this." he said as he started playing.
Strumming the guitar playing the intro and smiling at Kristina, he could see the tears well up in her eyes and he hadn't even started singing yet.
One word, that's all you said
Something in your voice caused me to turn my head
Your smile, just captured me
You were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happens, but it happens still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will
Well you had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes you won me
It was over from the start you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from hello (he sang as he watched the tears stream down Kristina's cheek)
Inside I built a wall
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't going to love again
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in
(Standing up and walking over to where Kristina was sitting, still playing and singing looking her right in the eyes)
But you had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes you won me
It was over from the start you completely stole my hear
And now you won't let go
I never even had the chance you know
You had me from hello
That's all you said
Something in your voice made me to turn my head
You had me from hello
You had me from hello
(Leaning forward to kiss her, he whispered)
Girl I've loved you from hello.
The bar roared and Kristina and Ethan didn't even seem to notice. He swung the guitar around picked her up and kissed her with every desire and ounce of love that was in his body.
Putting her back on her feet, he took her hands.
"Does that answer any of your questions you may have been thinking?" he whispered into her ear.
"Kristina, I love you!"
