Better When I'm Dancin' !

"Yes she is, she sings like an angel, she's sassy, and is a really great gal." Bam told them.

"Oh man, this is gonna be fun!" cackled Matt, rubbing his hands together.

"Alright, Noah's had some time to get to her house. Stay right behind me, and BE QUIET !!"

Noah walked down the dusty gravel side street, twirling his cane, and whistling. He was looking forward to surprising Susanna this morning with a visit. He knew she would be in her kitchen all day, concocting delicious candy treats. She's probably got it smeared all over face, she gets so involved in creating candies, Noah thought and smiled. He would have to clean up his damsel in distress...again. They had met the day she opened her candy store. Noah walked in as the last customer for the day. Susanna had been in the back making a Black Forrest Bark, and she hurried out from the back as she heard the store's bell jingling. Unbeknownst to her, she had chocolate smeared all over her face and hands. She'd gotten Noah's hand all sticky with chocolate when he introduced himself and they'd shaken hands and she was so embarrassed! Noah wiped the chocolate off his hands with his handkerchief, and proceeded to wipe the chocolate smears off her face. She was mortified, but she sure enjoyed looking at handsome Noah with his blue eyes! Bam had come looking for Noah, telling him they needed to get a move on to catch the tide. Noah explained he was "helping a damsel in distress". Bam rolled his eyes. Noah asked for a box of pralines. As Susanna boxed up the candy, she threw in some of the Black Forrest Bark as a thank-you for his chivalry...she had also tucked in her business card with a note for Noah, asking if he wanted to "dip strawberries" with her sometime. On the way home, one of his brothers had found the card and had yelled at Noah "Who's this girl that wants to dip strawberries with you sometime ??" Noah had thrown back his head and roared with laughter, saying "Oh, Susanna !" Noah had thought that it was pretty clever of her to do that. He stopped in the candy store the next time he was Hoonah. It had been a quiet business day, so they were able to get acquainted.

Noah had written some poems to her, and today was his chance to give them to her;  Noah didn't come often to Hoonah; he was usually needed at BrownTown. He hoped she would like them. Susanna was the most complex and  the most interesting woman he'd ever known.

I'm standing in my kitchen thinking what to play next...something special to groove to. My "Summer Dreams" white bark with fruit-flavored candy chips, was almost  there...should I add some Heath Chips ?.......Krispies......? The answer comes to me: Bruno Mars...that's what I need! I turn to my laptop and Hit " YouTube"....

"Shhhh ! You clowns are making too much noise!" Bam hissed. "Do you WANT  to get caught??" They were tailing Noah, so they could see his girlfriend, Susanna. They ducked behind houses, cars, trees, so Noah wouldn't catch them. He was going to be seriously ticked off at them if he caught them! Matt, Gabe, and Bear all kept snickering and cackling about how they were going to sneak up on Noah and his sweetheart. Bam had to threaten they were gonna turn around and go right back where they came from; then they wouldn't see her.... 

  Mark Ronson - "Uptown Funk"  ft. Bruno Mars  

I pull up Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" video, featuring hottie Bruno Mars. You just couldn't NOT want to dance to this fun tune; it ALWAYS cheers me up. I loved Bruno's pastel raspberry jacket as well as his smooth dance moves. Even a klutzy girl like me could copy the moves and look reasonably cool doing so. I crank the volume up, and my feet take me around my kitchen like I was one of The Temptations, spinning in circles, sliding my feet (I have socks on)...and singing along with Bruno at the top of my voice......

 As Noah approached Susanna's house, he heard music blaring from the kitchen. Noah supposed it was music; he preferred Rachmaninoff. "Sweetie, I'm gonna have to teach you all  about real music; that's for sure." Susanna had told Noah. Noah replied "I already  listen to real music." What kind of noise was it that girl had blaring out her Bose speakers? Noah shook his head. He was ready to go up her front steps and knock on the door, but he happened to glance at the open window of the kitchen, and stopped, not believing what he saw.....

Bam said "Wait a minute, Noah's standing by her steps staring into her kitchen window. Boy, that girl sure can blast her music!"

"Her music and stereo system are EXXXTREMELY AWESOME !"  Bear grinned, definitely impressed.

"What are we gonna do, then ?" asked Matt.

Bam said "Well Noah's still standing there looking into her kitchen; it's like he can't believe what he's seeing...We can double back and then come up around the other side to the other kitchen window...Noah shouldn't be able to see us...I can't believe  we're doing this," Bam said. "C'mon, then. AND BE QUIET !!"  The brothers worked their way to the other kitchen window...and stared....

****************** 

Meanwhile.... I'm  dancing and singing.....having a great time with Bruno.....!

When the video finished, Noah started to applaud and was grinning. He'd never seen this side of her, and he kind of liked it. He thought she looked cute.

The Brown brother's also started to applaud and cheer and whistle as they thought she was "Exxxtremely AWESOME" to use Bear's favorite phrase.

******************

I stop dead in my tracks...what's going on here? OMG... I hear Noah's angry voice saying "What in the heck are you clowns doing here?" and I turn to my other kitchen window, horrified, and Noah's brothers are all grinning and waving at me.....

O.M.G., I am SO  busted...I can never  live this one down....

                                                                   THE END
