DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING. THE SONG IS HONKYTONK U BY TOBY KEITH.

KAREOKE WITH THE CULLENS

CHAPTER 8

Jessica pulled another name out of the hat and called into the microphone "BEN!!"

We clapped and cheered with everyone as Ben went up onto the stage and picked his song. "Ok." He said into the mic. "This is for Angela because she loves this song. I love you Angel!" With that he started to sing.

"My grandmother owned a nightclub on the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
Momma put me on a greyhound, and I went
To stay with her in the summertime
I'd box up those empty longnecks and stack'em in the back and make a hand
Then at night she'd let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band
Yes, I have sacked some quarterbacks and broke my share of bones along the way
I knew it wouldn't
Last forever, semi-pro always means semi-paid
I started climbin' drillin' rig, im oil field trash and
Proud as I can be
Then I took my songs and guitar and sang'em to a man from Tennessee"

"What's he thinking about?" I asked Edward. "Nothing interesting" he answered. "Just about the song and about how much Angela loves Toby Keith. And how Toby is going to be in Seattle soon and he wants to get tickets." I nodded

"I've played every beer joint tavern from New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city
Too
I am a red, white and blue blood graduate of Honkytonk U"

I felt rather than heard his laugh at this line. "What?" I whispered. "Nothing" he said "He thinks that all the singers make singing to people and being onstage look too easy. And how he's gonna kill Mike for making him do this." His arms came tighter around my waist as he said in my ear "Not that killing Mike is a bad thing though." I stifled my laugh and turned to watch Ben continue his song.

"A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass wont
Ever be half empty in my optimistic mind
I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it up and
Play it loud
As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a Honkytonk crowd"

When Edward kissed my head I looked up at him. But to my surprise he was looking over at Mike. I pulled his face down to mine and said. "Stop trying to make his jealous. That just makes Jessica more mad at me." With that I pulled his face the rest of the way down to mine and kissed him.

"I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out ever basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city
Too
Son im a red, white, and blue blood graduate of Honkytonk U
That's right a red, white, and blue
Blood graduate of Honkytonk U"

When Ben finished his song we stood there clapping as Angela ran over to hug his tightly before kissing him. "They are so cute together" I sighed. "Not as cute as you" Edward whispered in my ear. I smacked him lightly on the arm and told him to stop. "What if I don't want to?" He asked. "That's too bad then" I said.

"Oh well" I said. "Why" he asked. "Are you going to punish me?" "Yes" I replied. "With what" he questioned. "With this" this time I wrapped my arms around his neck and dragged him to my lips. We kissed.

APOV (Alice)

I watched and smiled as my brother and my best friend kissed. Unknown to them that vile Jessica girl was back onstage drawing another name. I knew who would be chosen and I knew that she wouldn't like it.

A/N: Whoever could Alice be talking about? There are only two girls who need to go. If you tell me who they r u get a cookie. Thanks for reading and review!
