seeing him at all made me want to lose my lunch. Of course I still held some kind of feelings for him considering our history but there was still a lot of hurt there that I would never be ready to let go of.
I marched up to the DJ booth and I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. I hated it. He shouldn’t even be allowed to look at me with those gorgeous bluish gray eyes of his. I flipped through about three times before I made my choice. Good thing Halley wasn’t here with me. She would have done nothing but make this situation even more awkward than it already was.
Luke was watching me with a smile on his face. I loved that smile so much. His conversation seemed to have come to a halt for the time being and I got a wild idea. I looked at the DJ and gave him my new song choice and before the song came on, I spoke into the microphone.
“Luke, you need to come up here.”
The spotlight instantly shone on him and he shielding his eyes from the light laughing the whole time. “No!” He yelled, “You sing!”
I stuck my lip out and began pouting. “But I want you to sing with me.”
Suddenly the crowd began chanting, “Sing with her! Sing with her!”
I could see his face flushing and it was kind of adorable. No I lie, it was hot. And after a minute of the crowd chanting, Luke stubbornly stood up and gave me a sexy grin that about brought me to my knees. He made his way towards the stage and the crowd began cheering louder. We haven’t even started singing yet, for all they know, we sound like dying dogs together. I’m sure he was going to kill me later for this but right now, I didn’t seem to care. I wanted to sing with him. Maybe my motives were a little screwed up because of Taylor and Trevor being in here but Luke didn’t know that.
I nodded to the DJ for him to start the song and “Drunk on You” by Luke Bryan came on. Luke immediately looked at me grinning and he beat me to the first verse. I jumped in after I listened to his voice for a few seconds. I almost just wanted to let him sing the whole song by himself because ohmigod, he completely owned it. The only time we’ve really sang together was in the car and that didn’t sound half bad. The crowd loved us, people were dancing and some were even singing along. Luke and I held hands as we sang to each other and I managed to sing perfectly through my goofy grin.
Taylor and Trevor both bore holes into me and I kept eye contact with him most of the time occasionally looking elsewhere so Luke wouldn’t catch on. I didn’t want to make eye contact with Taylor. She was the last person on my mind and I wanted nothing more than to keep hating her. Trevor watched me closely listening as I sang every word not to him but to Luke. Moments before the song ended he shot me a hurtful look then grabbed Taylor’s hand and they made their exit. The crowd cheered and Luke kissed my cheek. He stepped down by the stage where he swept me off my feet. Literally. And he swung me around planting kisses on my neck.
“I can honestly say I never thought I would sing karaoke and I was seriously planning on possibly torturing you later.” He said with a mega smile on his face.
“ Oh is that so?” I leaned into him and placed my hands on his chest hoping to hear a little more about this possible torture he was thinking about. If I wasn’t working tonight, we would definitely be in the car right now making our way home.
“Hell ye ah. I think I will just go ahead and torture you.”
Raising my eyebrows I replied, “Promise? That sounds fun. I’m kind of turned on.”
He leaned in closer to me wrapping my hands around his waist and leaned into my ear. “You better stop Mace, you’re turning me on.”
“Is that so?” I ran my hand down the back of his pants and cupped his ass. He grinned as he crushed our lips together.
“I love you Macy.”
“I love you too Luke.”
I leaned in and got the kiss I had been yearning for. Sparks and everything. I smiled
