So the time has come. I was dressed in a summer dress with flip flops and my hair in a bun. I had my guitar case strapped to my back
“We ready to roll?”
I asked walking out
“Let’s go raise some money!”
Nicole said and we all cheered and walked out. So we got to jenks and it was already popping. We were each handed a bucket and began to walk around the boardwalk asking for donations. After about 4 hours we all came back with full buckets and I saw Danny.
“Danny!Hey!”
I said running up and hugging him.
“Oh my god Jess! Hey! How are you?!I have’t seen you in ages! Come here”
He pulled me in a hug and spun me making me laugh.
“Im doing great Danny! Cant breathe though!”
I said laughing some more. He set me down and we started to bull shit for a bit before I felt an arm snake around my waist
“Hey there beautiful”
Vinny said kissing my cheek. Danny looked back and forth from Vinny and I with the biggest smile ever
“No way, you two back together??”
Danny asked with raised brows
“As of very recently”
I said smirking as I pecked Vinny’s lips. Danny knuckle touched Vinny and we laughed.
So the auction was beginning. I was setting my guitar up while Pauly was taking a break on his dj table and Deena grabbed the mic.
“Okay everyone I just want to thank all of you for coming and helping us kick cancers ass! Now we’re gonna start the auction!”
Deena announced and everybody cheered. Vinny then took the mic
“We’re gonna start with my man, Pauly. And whoever bids the highest, because this has NEVER before been done! Not even once! That person is gonna get to touch Paulys hair! Alright we’re gonna start the bidding at $100. Oh we got a $100! What oh! $140!”
“400!”
Someone screamed. My jaw dropped
“What?! $400 to touch Paulys hair?! Anyone wanna top that? Going once! Going twice! Alright girl come on up!” Vinny yelled into the mic as Pauly laughed shaking his head. A girl maybe in her late 20s walked into the stage and handed Deena the $400
“Are you ready?”
Vinny asked
“I’m so nervous it’s so perfect!”
She said laughing
“It’s alright it’s for a good cause and he’s got hair gel!”
I said laughing. So she felt the top of it and the sides and gasped
“It’s so hard!”
She said laughing
“That’s not the only thing that’s hard!” I said as Pauly and the rest of us laughed
“Thank you for the donation you’re awesome!”
Pauly said giving the girl a hug
“Okay next we got Nicole here! We’re gonna have a couple people come up here for a bid to do a shot with Snooki! Well start the bid at 20!” Vinny said and so there was 7 bids and 7 shots and Nicole had to take 7 shots to herself while 7 people who bid ranging from $50-$300 did shots with her. Nicole took it like a champ!
“We also have a couple exclusive bids if you go see Deena you can either bid to learn how to make Ron Ron juice by the bar, You can get advice from Mike the Situation with his Live Your Best Life advice or you can bid to have an argument about anything with JWOW! There’s only 8 slots per bid so hurry while you can!”
Vinny said and a lot of people started running to find Deena.
“Moving on were gonna move to our next bid, I’m gonna let my beautiful girlfriend Jess take the mic”
in my said and people cheered as the spotlight went on me.
“How we doing tonight people?”
I asked and people cheered
“So I did a raffle earlier for men who are in a relationship right now! The raffle was for a guy who can sing not horrible and are in a serious relationship! Angelina the jar!”
I said and she ran over and handed me a jar loaded with papers.
“I’m gonna be singing a duet but you had to bid for the raffle so the lucky couple tonight is going to be...”
I finally pulled a paper out and looked at the name
“Davon and Serena! Please come up”
I said and I heard a girl scream and hug her man. The spotlight came on them and Davon was smiling and I was good at reading lips so I saw her say happy anniversary. They came up and I whispered in the guys ear
“You proposing?”
I whispered in his ear.
“I want to but I don’t have a ring. I can’t afford it right now”
he said. I smirked and looked down at the ring my Mother gave me before she passed. I took it off my finger. It was a rose gold ring with 9 diamonds on it. It looked like a golden tiara, the middle diamond being the biggest. I slipped it in his hand while Vinny had her sit on a stool.
“Are you sure?”
He asked. I smiled
“It was my mother’s so make sure it counts. My advice is don’t let go. You were informed of the song right? If not I’ll have lyrics for you”
I said and he smiled
“You have no idea how often I sing this song in the shower”
he said in my ear. I laughed and high fived him
“Alright Alright Alright! We ready to do this?!”
I said in the mic and people cheered
“Serena how you feeling?”
I asked and she waved her face like she was flustered
“Sit tight! Devon are you in love?”
I asked and he chuckled and looked at Serena as I held the mic to him
“Every day I look at her I fall again”
he said and she tested up as the crowd awed
“How long have you been together?”
I asked
“6 years”
he said smiling
“Whoo! That’s awesome! Congrats! Well you got the love of your life up here now I just need mine! Oh Vinny!” I called making the crowd laugh. Vinny walked over to me smiling
“What’s going onnn?”
Vinny asked awkwardly
“Devon and I have something in common. We wanna sing a song to the people we love. So this is for you babe. Can we turn off the lights? Everyobody turn your phone lights on I wanna see a stary night sky in here!” I said and the club lights turned off and all I saw were flashlights being held in the air. I began to play guitar
“You ready Devon?”
I asked
“Of course”
he said and began to sing as he looked at Serena
“I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel as though
I was enough
We danced the night away
We drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up”
he touched her cheek and she gushed as the spotlight went to me and I was eye to eye with Vinny. He had the biggest grin I’ve ever seen
“When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute I was stone cold sober
I pulled you (both Devon and I) closer to my chest
(Just me) then you asked me to stay over
I said I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest
I know I loved you then
But you’ll never know
Cuz I played it cool when I was
Scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
That I wanna stay with you
(Devon and I both) Until were grey and old
(Jess) Just day you won’t let go
(Devon) Just day you won’t let go
The spotlight went back to Devon. The whole fam was cheering for me and Pauly was chanting Vinny and Jess!
“I’ll wake you up with some
Breakfast in bed ((Jess) ooohhhh yah
I’ll bring you coffee with
A kiss on your head
And I’ll the kids to school
wave them goodbye
I’ll thank my lucky stars
For life”
The spotlight went back to me as I played guitar and I had my mic on like a head phone. I touched Vinnys cheek for a minute. He gently grabbed my face as we just focused on one another
“Cuz when you look over you shoulder
For a minute I forget that I am older
(Devon and Jess) I wanna dance with you right now
(Jess) you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every day you’re getting better
(Devon and Jess) You make me feel this way some how
I’m so in love with you and
I hope you know!
Darling your love is more
worth it’s weight then gold
We’ve come so far my dear
(Just Devon) look how we’ve grown!
(Both) I wanna stay with you
Until were grey and old
(Jess) Everybody!”
I pointed the mic towards the crowd and they sang the chorus
“Just day you won’t let go!
(Jess) Just say you won’t let go
(Devon) I wanna live with you
(Both) even when were ghosts
Cuz you’re always there for me
When I need you the most
(Devon) I’m gonna love you till
My lungs give out!
I promise till death we part just like in our vows
(*Vinny and Jess never broke eye contact smiling like two teenagers in love)
So I wrote this song for you!
Now everybody knows!
That darling it’s just you and me till we’re grey and old
Just say you won’t let go
(Devon)
Just say you won’t let go
(Jess)
Just say you won’t let
(Devon)
Just say you won’t let go
(Jess)
Oh yeah”
The song finished and the crowd went crazy.
“You asshole”
Vinny said laughing as he pulled me in and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around Vinny’s neck and kissed back but we pulled back as our attention was directed to Devon getting down on one knee and proposing.
“I can’t believe you sang me a song. You’re so cheesy...I love you so much”
He said laughing as he kissed my lips. I kissed back but Deena pulled us apart
“Come on you two make out later we have to keep the show going”
Deena said laughing. We smirked and I gave Vinny the mic
“We wanna thank you for donating!”
Vinny said in the mic and the whole crowd cheered
“Hey Jess do you remember the conversation we were having the other day when we were all sitting down for dinner the other day?”
Vinny asked smirking. I laughed and spoke into his mic, distinctly hearing an
‘oh fuck!’
from Angelina somewhere close by
"Why yes yes I do, something about Angelina and her fiance Chris right?"
I asked in the mic.
"I remember that conversation very well"
Pauly said in the mic.
"Angelina was telling us all about what she does in the bedroom. Chris get up here right now"
I said smirking. Angelina looked like she was going to shit a brick.
"Angelina was telling us that the first time Chris and her had relations, she had really good sex"
Vinny said and Chris laughed as everyone was screaming.
"Yeah Vin but she saod she hasn't gotten it like that in a very long time"
I said laughing, which made Chris give me the most shocked look as he looked from us to Angelina.
"I need to get a rally going to get Angelina pounded out again. Ready? 1,2,3! Pound it"
Everyone started punching their other open hand and the chant 'Angelina hasnt gotten pounded out in a long time'
Errupted throught the entire building.
Chris and Angelina looked so sick I was laughing my ass off.
"Hey shootout to Chris who's gonna pound out Angelina tonight"
I said laughing and the crowd cheered for them.
