Chapter Thirty-three: Red High Heels- Kelly Pickler
Alexis's Point of View
"Good morning." Mom says, as I'm coming out of my bedroom.
"Hi." I say.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just a little tired, is dad still sleeping?"
"No, he left, didn't say where he was going." Mom says, trailing off a bit at the end, she looks at the door.
"He probelly just went to the store," I pause, "or maybe he's hanging out with Ryan and Esposito, or something."
"Yeah." she says, she didn't sound like she believed it.
"He'll be back soon." I say, trying to get her to cheer up a little.
"Yep, that's what he said."
"Then he's probelly on his way home now." I say with a smile, she nods her head.
"Want any breakfast?"
"No, thanks."
"Yep," she continues to stir the scrambled eggs with a wooden spoon.
"Why do you stir the scrambled eggs with a wooden spoon?"
"A couple years ago, when your dad and I were only friends, I was making breakfast and I melted the plastic spatula."
I laugh, "Really?"
"Yeah, ruined the pan and spatula, I'll never forget that."
"Bet you were mad."
"No, but my dad was a little upset with me, it was his pan and spatula that I ruined."
"Well, I guess you won't have that problem if you use a wooden spoon."
"Nope." We laugh, and just then my dad sneeks through the door and goes to sneek up on mom, "I know you're here." mom says, I'll never understand how she does that.
"Hi." my dad says, wraping his arms around her mid-section, resting his hands on her stomache.
"Hi." mom says.
"How'd you know I was here?"
"I could hear your foot-steps."
"How?" dad and I ask at the same time.
"I've got really good hearing."
"Oh." dad says, I nod my head, then reach into the cubored for a bowl for cereal, "Anyway, I was at this small art gallery, and they told me that tonight there is going to be an open mic night."
"And?" mom and I ask.
"I was thinking we could go, and you two could sing."
"I don't think so." mom says, I shake my head, pouring milk in with my Cheerios.
"Why not?" dad whines.
"Because I don't want to go, you can, but I'm not." mom says, dad looks at me.
"I don't sing." I say.
"You used to." dad says.
"Used to, yes, not anymore."
"You sing to Talia." dad says.
"You sing to us, does that mean you're going to sing?"
"No."
"See?"
"Fine, you two are boring."
"You married me." mom says.
"You rasied me." I say at the same time as mom. Which puts smiles on both of our faces, dad still pouting trys to fight a smile.
"You two are going to gang up on me." dad says, pointing at us. Mom throws a towel at him, which he doesn't try to dodge, it hits him in the face.
"I'm taking this towel." dad says.
"Give it back." mom says, walking over to where dad is, he walks away.
"You threw it at me."
"Give it back." mom says, starting to follow dad.
"Nope."
"Damn it, give it back." mom is getting mad, and practically chasing him around now.
"No."
"Ugh...you're annoying." mom stops, crossing her arms.
"You married me." he mocked mom. I laugh, mom smiles.
"Give me the towel." mom insists, trying to hide her smile.
"Say please."
"Pplleeaassee give me the towel."
"Here you go." dad walks over to mom, standing in front of her. He draps the towel over her head, covering her eyes, she rips it away just as fast.
"Thank you." mom says, dad pulls her closer to him for a quick kiss, mom dodges it.
"Hey!" dad says.
"Hey what?" mom asks.
"Why didn't you let me kiss you."
Mom shruggs her shoulders, "So, what's this open mic night thing?"
"It's where you go and, if you want, you can sing, or dance, or whatever."
"Oh, yeah, I've been there." I say.
"And did you have a nice time?"
"Yeah, it was fun."
"Then lets go tonight." dad says.
"Fine." mom agreed
Later that night:
"First up is Alexis, singing Red High Heels by Kellie Pickler." Alice anouces.
I walk up on the stadge, more then a little nervous, and take the mic.
"Ready?" she whispers.
"Ready." I assure her, and myself.
The music starts playing. I sing along with Kellie's voice.
'Baby I've got plans tonight
You don't know nothin' about
I've been sitting around way too long
Trying to figure you out
But you say that you'll call and you don't
And I'm spinning my wheels
So I'm going out tonight
In my red high heels
I'm gonna call up that old boyfriend
You said still has it bad for me
I'm gonna take him into town
Flaunt him around for everyone to see
Well you said watch yourself, baby
You know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me
In my red high heels
Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
All those games you tried to play
Well they aint gonna work on me now
I put a barbed wire fence
Around my heart
Baby just to keep you out
Well you thought I'd wait around forever
But baby get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels
Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just how missing me feels
Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just how missing me feels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels'
