After I apologized and thanked everybody for showing up the awkward tension that I cause instantly disappeared. Everybody started playing games dancing to the music and having a good time expected Michael and Rogue. His idea of having a good time was getting drunk while Rogue babysat. Nina spent most of the time dancing with Kitty or Warren from time to time while I was enjoying the party with Trent.
"How do you keep up with her?" Warren asked trying to catch his breath
"Years of practice and water." I answered handing him a cup
Warren grabbed the cup and drunked every single drop of water out of it before slamming the cup on the table, "Thank. You. Alex." He said sitting back
"You see Nina can dance for days so unless she tire herself out or is tricked into sitting down than the best thing you can do is watch her move." I said
"Yeah. I'm starting to see what you mean." Warren said staring at Nina with a smile slowly forming on his face
"That smile looks familiar. Doesn't it?" I asked looking up at Trent
"I guess." He answered before looking at his watch
"Look closer." I said
Trent looked up from his watch and instantly noticed the way Warren was staring at Nina. Their was an intrigued look in his eyes a soft yet slight wicked smirk on his face and his breathing was slow and steady like an animal on the hunt.
"He's looking at her the way I look at you...Do you think they did it?" He asked in a low whisper
"Last time I checked she was holding back and taking things slow." I replied
"Clearly once he gets his hands on her it's going down. D-O-W-N down." He said before looking at his watch
"Why do you keep looking at your watch?" I asked
"No reason." He quickly answered before Nina crashed down beside me
"I should've sat that last one out like you did. I'm exhausted." She said
"I can never take you seriously when you say that after dancing. I swear if you wasn't involved with computers you would be a dancer and not just an exotic one either." I said before catching Trent looking at his watch again, "Hey if I catch you looking at your watch one more time I'm gonna break it." I threatened
"You know I forgot some boxes around back Warren could you help me out?" He asked getting up
"Oh yeah! I got you we'll be back." He said getting up and following Trent to the back
"Ok sissy what's going on?" I asked
"Will you stop worrying about them? Come on dance with me." She said pulling me onto the dancefloor
"Oh God not again." I mumbled under my breath
While me and Nina were dancing the music suddenly shut off all the games in the arcade power down and lights appeared over a stage. Everybody looked around to find a seat while Nina pulled me back to the booth we were just sitting at patiently waiting to see what was going on until a spotlight fell on Warren who was playing the piano.
"I wanna decade this song to the birthday girl and my partner wanna decade this song to her bestie." Trent said from backstage
Warren: Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you baby
Nothin' on you baby
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby
Nothin' on you baby
Trent popping up from backstage: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe
No' no' nothin' on you
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun
On the carousel so around I spun (spun)
With no directions just tryna get some (some)
Tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun (sun)
An' so I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly I ended up with none
There's so much nonsense
It's on my conscience
I'm thinking baby I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering, if there was something that you wanna know (That you wanna know)
But never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
'Cause we don't wanna be a t.v episode (t.v episode)
And all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)
Warren: Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
They might say hi (Trent: Hi ) and I might say hey (Trent: Hey)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you ' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
Trent: Hands down there will never be another one
I been around and I never seen another one
Because your style I ain't really got nothin' on
And you Wow when you got nothin' on!
Baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic
You're my Wonder Women call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop!...Now think about it
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even way out there in Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia to New Orleans
But you always steal the show (steal the show)
And just like that girl you got a fro (got a fro)
Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
If you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)
Warren: Beautiful girls all over the world (Trent: All over)
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted (Trent: HaHa!)
They got nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
They might say hi (Trent: Hi! ) and I might say hey (Trent: Hey)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (Trent: Why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby (Trent jumping off stage: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
Trent walking towards me: Everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (Warren: Your name)
And no matter where I'm at girl you make me wanna sing (Warren: Ahhha)
Whether a bus or a plane (plane) or a car or a train (train)
No other girls in my brain and you the one to blame...He snug giving me a rose
Warren: Beautiful girls all over the world (Trent smiling happly while I held the rose blushing: All Over!)
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted ( Trent running back on stage: HAHA!)
They got nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you baby. No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby (Trent jumping back on stage: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
They might say hi (Trent: Hi!) and I might say hey (Trent: Hello!)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (Trent: Why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby (Trent: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby (Trent pointing at me: No' no' no' nothin' on you babe. No' no' nothin' on you!)
Trent doing a handshake with Warren: Yeah and that's just how we do it, HAHA
And Imma let this ride
T-R-E-N-T and WW3!
Everybody stood up and gave the duo a standing ovation while they took a bow but really they were to busy staring at me and Nina's reaction. Warren got off stage while Trent was telling everybody that the karaoke was an open mic anybody can come up and show off their skills.
"So...what did you guys think about the performance?" Warren asked
"It was unbelievable! Where did you learn how to play like that?!" Nina asked
"I had a private teacher since I was four. I could give you a few pointers if you want?" He asked
"If I can play like you by the end of the year than I'd love to take a few lessons from you." She said
"Yeah. You were great ummmm I'll be back gotta go to the bathroom." I said before leaving the table
"Riiiiiiiight. Bathroom break I doubt that." Nina said rolling her eyes
"If she's not going to the bathroom than where is she going?" He asked taking his seat beside her
"To hook up with Trent backstage or in the bathroom." She answered
"Really? I don't think so." He said
"Wanna bet?" She asked
"Yeah as a matter of fact I do wanna bet." He replied confidently
"Ok. I bet you an unlimited shopping spring that they're screwing each other right now and this will last until the mall close you have to carry everything I buy and you have to pay from everything including lunch." She said
"And I bet...you coming with me on a business retreat that they're not fooling around." He said
"A business retreat?" She asked
"Yeah. I'm going to London in a few weeks and I wanna bring you with me. I hate being cooped up with those up tight stiff statues with my head in mountains of paperwork it's boring at least I know if you come with me than it'll be a change of pace. You don't have think about like a romantic get away cause it's more like an escape for the both of us. Me escaping from being a mindless workaholic and you escaping reality to catch you're breath. So do we have a deal?" He asked holding out his hand
Nina thought about for a moment before grabbing and shaking his hand, "Deal." She said
"Ok. What are some of the side effects of them sleeping together?" He asked
"Well Trent is full of shit meaning his ego is front and center he acts like he conquered something and walks with his chest out. He has a unnoticable limp a huge smile on his face and is able to eat everything in slight. Aj always act shy quiet exhausted and very clingy towards Trent even more than now. Her limp is noticeable a light smile huge blush sleepy and she's normally distant." Nina said
"Alright. So if we see any of those symptoms you win and if we don't than I win." Warren said
"God I am starving! Where's a menu in the place?" I asked sitting down and grabbing one off the table
"Did you see Trent backstage?" Nina asked
"Yeah I saw him. Aye yo if I order a pizza are you guys gonna eat some?" I asked staring at the menu
"Aaaaaa no." Nina answered
"I already ate." Warren said
"Sweeeeeet more for me." I said while Trent quietly made his way over yawning to himself
"Are you alright over there?" Warren asked
"Huh? Ummm yeah I'm fine just tired dude." He replied rubbing his eyes
"Maybe you should lay down and get some rest." Nina suggested
"Yeah maybe you're right." He said before curling up around my waist with his head on my lap
I glanced down at him before rubbing my fingertips through his hair, "My sleepy headed mini man." I softly said trying to get him to relax
"Well...who won? It's obvious the symptoms are there but they affected the wrong people." Warren whispered over to Nina
"How many days do your retreats normally last?" She asked
"Four some times six." He replied
"Ok. How about this since you have an even number of days you'll spend half of them with me and instead of doing all that stuff for me we'll go dutch on everything?" She suggested
"I can live with that." He said with a smile
"This is some gooooooood pizza." I said working on my fifth slice
"When did you order pizza?" Nina asked
"While you two were talking about the bet you made over me and Trent sleeping together." I said
"Wait what? We did no such thing. I am offended that you would make these outrageous accessions." She replied
"Michael left something on your shirt." I said
Nina looked around and found a miniature mic near her shoulder picking up on everything her and Warren has been talking about since God only knows, "I'm gonna go talk to him about personal space." She said getting up and walking to the bar
"I expected this kind of crap from her but you...that's sad." I said while Warren sadly sighed
"Yo! Let me get another round." Mike yelled
"Don't you think you've had enough." Rogue said trying to grab his cup
"Look. Don't tell me what to do. I can take care of myself." He said
"Fine than you'll be happy here by yourself." She said getting up
"Where are you going?" He asked
"I'm leaving. I'm not gonna sit there and watch you destroy yourself." She said bumping into Nina, "I...I gotta go tell Alex that I'm sorry for leaving." She said heading towards the door
"Hey. Take care of yourself." Nina said
Rogue paused at the door before looking back at Nina, "Thanks. You too." She said before leaving
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Nina asked directing her attention to Mike
"Life. That's whats wrong with me." He said before taking another shot
Nina shoke her head and slammed the mic on the table, "You need help." She said before walking back to the booth while Michael stared at her.
"Are you alright?" Warren asked letting Nina back in our inner circle
"Yeah. I'm fine." She said before grabbing my hand
I looked at our hands before looking up at her and lacing our fingers nodding my head mouthing the words, "It's gonna be ok."
Nina nodded before talking to Warren and acting like everything alright. I sighed quietly and starting daydreaming before Trent started loudly snoring, "Oh hell no. Wake Up!" I yelled hitting him on his forehead
"HUH!? Wh...what was that?" He asked rubbing the sleep out his eyes and stretching out
"You started snoring." I said while Nina and Warren laughed
"Oh shit ummmm I'm sorry bae but I'm tired as hell. I was up all last night with you than I had to get up to set up your surprise party and after that performance I'm ready to call it a day." He said
"Before me and your girl perform?" Nina asked
"Wait. Who the fuck said I was performing?" I asked
"This coin. Heads you perform tails you don't." She said holding up a quarter
"Fine but I want Warren to flip it." I said
"Alright. Here you go." She said giving Warren the coin
"Three. Two. One!" He yelled before tossing the coin in the air.
