Wow
Wow
Wow.
"This is nice" I said
"We know" the three chorused.
I just shook my head at their annoyed faces..
Hey..what's behind this curtain" I didn't wait for them to answer before I pushed the heavy red curtain away and saw the whole club.
They were like a million people in here and-
"Don't go in there, do you want your brothers to see you"
"I'm wearing a ski mask for goodness sake"
"Just stay here, we're on in about 7 minutes"
"Yeah.. can't wait" I said enthusiastically
"Can't wait for what" Jay asked
"To perform out there" I said and they looked at each other
"We didn't tell her" the trio chorused
"We didn't tell me what?"
"You're just sitting here, we're doing the performing" Jeff said slowly
I blinked
"Uhh?"
"You're not going out there Anna" Dec said rubbing his nose
"I'm not going out where?"
"Look, Anna, it's for the best..there are dangerous gang leaders in there..please, your brothers will have our heads if they found out we brought their priceless jewel out here"
"Please Anna, just listen for once"
I sighed
"Okay, fine"
They all exhaled and I rolled my eyes.
"But on one condition" they all tensed
"What is it?"
"I'll peak through this curtains"
"Yeah.. that's okay"
"And we're on" Dec shouted looking at his watch.
The three ran out and loud cheers and whistles followed.
They introduced themselves and blah blah blah and then the crowd voted for songs they wanted the three guys to sing and intentions by Justin Bieber won.
Then the boys started playing the instruments and Dec's voice rang through the speakers
Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer
Shower you with all my attention
Yeah, these are my only intentions
Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread
Heart full of equity, you're an asset
Make sure that you don't need no mentions
Yeah, these are my only intentions
Wow, Jay was right when he said Dec did have a nice voice.
If I didn't know it was Dec singing, I would have thought Justin Bieber was doing a live concert behind this red curtain
Shout out to your mom and dad for making you
Standing ovation, they did a great job raising you
When I create, you're my muse
The kind of smile that makes the news
Can't nobody throw shade on your name in these streets
Triple threat, you a boss, you a bank, you a beast
You make it easy to choose
You got a mean touch I can't refuse (no, I can't refuse it)
That was Jay singing, and my heart did this swelling thing
He was perfect. His voice was everything. I respect people like this.
Jay has just earn my honest respect for singing so beautifully
Then Dec sang the intro again
Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer
Shower you with all my attention
Yeah, these are my only intentions
Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread
Heart full of equity, you're an asset
Make sure that you don't need no mentions
Yeah, these are my only intentions
I was so into the music that I began singing and clapping my hands behind the curtain.
I stood up and started moving around and swaying my hips to be beats
That was when I kicked a mic-those wireless mics and then I smiled.
I had the perfect idea.
Already passed, you don't need no approval
Good everywhere, don't worry 'bout no refusal
Second to none, you got the upper hand now
Don't need a sponsor, no, you're the brand now
You're my rock, my Colorado
Got that ring, just like Toronto
Love you now, a little more tomorrow
That's how I feel
Act like you know that you are
Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer
Shower you with all my attention
Yeah, these are my only intentions
Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread (whip it)
Heart full of equity, you're an asset (asset)
Make sure that you don't need no mentions (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, these are my only intentions
Dec and Jeff sang together before Jeff sang alone
No cap, no pretending
You don't need mentions
Jeff sang and the I quickly added a
"(no cap)"
And then I continued singing
Got them saying "goals", they don't wanna be independent
Tell them to mind your business
We in our feelings
It's fifty-fifty percentage (fifty)
Attention, we need commitment
We gotta both admit it (both)
It's funny we both listen (both)
It's a blessing 'cause we both get it (both)
You the best thing and I don't need a witness (best thing)
I'ma find me a ring and pray it's perfect fitted (perfect)
Jeff and I both sang and then the four of us sang the outro
Picture-perfect, you don't need no filter (no filter)
Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer (oh)
Shower you with all my attention (I will)
Yeah, these are my only intentions (yeah)
Stay in the kitchen, cooking up, cut your own bread (you do)
Heart full of equity, you're an asset (uh huh)
Make sure that you don't need no mentions (no mentions)
Yeah, these are my only intentions (only intentions)
(That's all I plan to do, ooh)
The crowd was eerily quiet and I once again peeked through the hole and saw everyone looking dumbstruck to have heard a fourth voice.
The three guys turned and looked in my direction with raised eyebrows.
The crowd followed their line of sight but they could not see me.
The boys left the stage and came back stage.
"What the heck was that" Jeff asked
"It's called singing"
"What part of SIT don't you understand?" Jay asked.
"I sang while siting" I said with an edge to my voice
"Why did you sing Anna, couldn't you just listen like other people do" Jay shouted.
"Hey, don't you dare shout at me, I'm not a toy that you can order around. I do what I feel like doing and no one, absolutely no one can tell me what the heck to do" I said and shoved pass three of them, turned a corner and just as I was about entering the main club, I heard Dec say
"Nice going Jay"
I entered into the club that had began being busy again except some few people who was still perched around the stage, waiting for the fourth singer to show up
I went to the bar area, and I told the bartender to give me a drink.
A strong one.
When he asked for money, I raised my ski mask up to show him my face and his eyes widened and his hands started shaking vigorously.
I pulled my mask down and drank my drink.
I winced when I swallowed it, it was bitter and extremely hot
I Asked for another one, then two others followed and another two.
I stumbled out of my chair suddenly feeling hot and took off my jacket and threw it to the bartender.
I went to the dance floor and started dancing to the music being played.
It was bang bang by Ari, Nicki and Jessie.
I just wanted to dance away my sorrows, I wanted to dance away the pain of my heart shattering before my very eyes.
And I moved my hips to the beat.
Yes..you guessed Right, I was twerking.
I continued my moves and someone came to hold my waist from behind me.
I didn't care who it was I just grinded into the person and the person held me tighter.
I turned around when the song changed and I was surprised to see a familiar face.
"Anna!"
I smiled
"How do you know it's me"
"I told you I was gonna recognize you with your blue eyes and look I did-wait are you drunk?" Ethan asked
"Nope, just a little tipsy"
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here because I followed some people here, now shut up and dance with me" I said and behind Ethan I saw Jay looking around the club.
And I quickly gave my back to Ethan and his hands were on my hips and his head my shoulder.
"You look great by the way"
"Thank you, and you look lethal" Ethan said.
"I know"
We danced for a while before we headed for the bar again.
We talked about random things and drank more.
But Jay had to come and ruin it all.
"Anna, that's enough" his voice boomed from behind me
I just ignored him.
"Anna, let's go"
"So I'll see you again"
"So confident...I like it" I said
"Should we exchange numbers?"
"I don't even have a phone"
"Okay, bumping into you it is"
"Yes" I said and stood up and planted a kiss just close to his lips just to rile Jay up
"See you soon" I said and pushed past an angry looking Jay to where Dec and Jeff had their mouths open.
Jay caught up to me the moment I reached Jeff's car, he spun me around and used his legs to pin me to Jeff's car
"What was all that about": he hissed at me.
And I could see him clenching and unclenching his fist.
"It was exactly what it was"
Something around my shoulders caught his eyes and he stopped what he was about to say
"Are those hand print on your shoulders?"
Shit
I had forgotten about those hand print Aiden gave me when he pinned me against the wall in a fit of rage.
I watched as Jay eyes darkened over with rage
"Who?"
"No-no one"
"So you bruise yourself?"
"Yes....it was a mistake..I didn't know what I was doing..and I bruise myself....yeah... that" I looked away to make sure he didn't know I was lying.
Which I knew he already knows.
"I said tell me who" he barked.
Shit
Shit.
Shit
And that's why you should never have taken off that jacket.
