(Do your thang honey)

Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass..." 

Emmett chuckled and took my hand in his, lacing out fingers together as I sang loudly and off key. On purpose, of course.

"Ain't no other man, it's true

Ain't no other man but you

Never thought I'd be alright, no no no
Til you came and changed my life, yeah yeah yeah
What was cloudy now is clear, yeah yeah
You're the light that I needed

You got what I want boy and I want it
So keep on givin' it up

So tell your mother, your brother, your sister and your friends
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's

Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do..." 

I leaned over and kissed his cheek lightly, smiling against his skin. This song was practically made for us, and I loved singing it. Emmett turned his head quickly to smile at me before returning his attention to the road.

"You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon

You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass

Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you

(Break it down now)

Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other other
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other lover
Ain't no other, I-I-I need no other
Ain't no other man but you

You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test

Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass

Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
And now I'm telling you
Said ain't no other man but you!

Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass

Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you..." 

For the rest of the ride Emmett and I talked and laughed and joked and switched drivers half way through. I was so lucky to have him. When we reached home, it was around two in the afternoon. Mom and Dad were probably finding all her siblings a place to stay. When I say all her siblings, I mean the ones that are biological and the ones my babushka and ded adopted from the dancing company. So there was about twelve or thirteen in all plus children. So on Mom and Dad's side we were looking at about sixty-four people, not including Mom, Dad, Isaac and Wyatt. On Papa and Baba's side, there was Natalie and Dustin and their five kids and my dad's little sister Sarah and her husband, Cooper. So on Papa's side, there would be about nine people, not including Papa, Baba, Shawn, Chris, Ebony and Angel. So in total, there would be seventy three people, maybe, plus my four parents, ten siblings, Emmett and his mom, and me. So... about ninety people.
