Vixen's Music: Love and hope
Chapter 16
Ever have one of those days where you feel like your head was going to split open? Well yeah that's how I was feeling at that point. Over sexed, tired and confused, how am I supposed to feel? I mean over the curse of the night I had two girls I was close to say that they love me and they had made a plan not to tell. And end up telling me anyway. And before anyone says to just shut up and go with it, you can bite me.
"Aiden, I know we put you through a lot," Lura said finally breaking my line of thinking "but this is something we're asking you to do." "I'll understand if you don't want to," Linx add "I just wanted you to know how I feel and I didn't do this just to get in between you and Lura." "And I want you to know I'm ok with this happening, so I'm going be here so you don't feel force into doing it" Lura said putting her hand on the side of my face.
"Can I have a say in this" I asked. "Yes, by all means" Linx answered. "Yes" Lura answered as well. "I don't even know how I feel right now" I said "I mean Lura, we confessed to each other and yet I just had sex with two of your friends and Linx just told me she's in love with me, and you're ok with it. I mean nothing against you, any of you. But really this is all making my head spin. And, and I ..." "AIDEN" Lura said.
She grabbed my head with both hands and pulled me in a deep kiss till I could barely think anymore. "You love me right" Lura asked when she pulled away. "Yes" I answered. "Good, then stop thinking for the rest of the night, and just let us do the work" she said and pushed me back on the bed "alright Linx get up there and sit on his face." Linx did as ordered and got on the bed putting her heat right on my nose.
Instinct kicked in as my tongue shot out of my mouth right into the she-wolf's folds. "Oh, oh, OH," she answered "Tabitha was right we should have done this a long time ago." "No, you shouldn't have held back for so long" Lura chided "now give me a hand with this thing if you still want it." I groaned right into Linx's sex getting a moan to shoot down my tip. It was a feeling I can't put into words. But have the both of them working me over, was doing a number on my head.
Both Linx and I were panting when she was told to move. My tongue and head tried to follow when I was pushed back down. "No you stay, and be a good boy" Lura said patting my chest. She was hot when she was on my face but when skin met skin it almost burned. I could hear a whimper of need from Linx when we made first contacted. She eased herself on me before she stopped. "I ... I don't know if I can do this" Linx said.
My brain had shut off at this point but my body was on auto. I sat up and kissed her enclosing my arms around her. I broke our kiss and tilted my head opening my neck to her. As my hips moved on their own, Linx took the hint and lightly bit into my shoulder. I worked up to her hymen slowly and gentle. "Please" Linx asked doing her best to handle with the new feeling and bracing for the pain. Lura was standing behind Linx when she nodded to me.
Now it may not be the same as with Lura but doesn't make what I said next any less true. "Linx, I love you" I said causing to her pause and look at me. "WHA..." she yelled right as I broke her as she let out a howl. Soon after she whimpered and cried into my shoulder. She was fully hilted that came with a quick rush of blood. I just held her till she could compose herself again. She gave me a weak smile before she spoke.
"I thought you said you don't lie" she said. "No, I can't lie, and it may not be the same as Lura but doesn't mean it's not the truth" I said "in truth I love all four of you but doesn't mean it's the same type of love." She looked back at Lura before turning to me. "Aiden, shut up and fuck me" she said and slowly rolled her hips. Slowly her groans of pain turned to moans of pleasure as her thighs were smacking into my lap.
I let her lead, given I still had no clue what I was doing. Before I knew what was going on I felt my knot start to grow. Linx felt it to as it pulled on her. "Tie with me, let me be yours even just this once" she whispered in my ear. Lura knew what Linx wanted. Her panting became quicker as she had to start forcing my knot into her opening. Lura kissed my cheek in understanding. "Linx, kiss me" I said pulling on her chin ever so lightly.
As she kissed me, I pushed my knot in her right before it was too big. Her hips shook as her tunnel clamped down on me. She gasped as she sucked the first load from me. "Oh, it's so warm" she hummed "fill me please playboy." "Playboy" Lura asked, shooting me with a playful dirty look. But poor Linx was lost in her own world working her hips and everything she had to milk every drop she could from me.
Linx pulled me into another kiss making us both fall onto the bed. Linx was out before we hit the bed and was starting cuddle into my chest. "Before you say anything this was your idea" I said quietly. "I know Hon, and you did great" Lura said and kissed me. Almost an hour later, we worked out how to pull the sleeping wolf off me without waking her. And in doing so, Lura had landed on top of me. We kissed over and over again.
I didn't think I was ready to go again. But her bashful smile told otherwise. Before she could do anything I had her pinned to the bed. "Not this time beautiful, it's my turn to make you feel good" I said and started kissing my way down her body. She cooed and sighed and moaned with each touch. I set her legs over my shoulders and pulled her hips up a bit to meet me. I licked her over and over, working my tongue through each fold. Her pearl button was hard and burning begging to be used.
With nips licks and kisses I toyed with her button. Lura at this point couldn't stop moaning. She had both of her hands on my head. Her back was arched, her hips were shaking, her body was begging for me to go deeper. To which I did. My tongue was freely moving within her driving her mad. "OH SHIT, Oh SHIT, I'm coming, I'M Coming, OH SHIT, I'M COMING" she cried and my face and mouth were met with as blast of juices.
Her body dropped back on to the bed panting and sighing. "My god, where did you learn to do that" she asked. I just smiled and kissed her pelvis. She smiled back at me. "You up for one more thing" I asked. "As long as you don't use that devil tongue on me" she jokingly said. "What like this" I asked and licked my way back up her body. She gasped when she found out it was a trap and had my reloaded round half way down her barrel.
"Why you little" she groaned as I hilted her again. I pulled her legs up as far as I could safely as she tied them around me. Starting slow with small thrusts I built up till I was working my full length through her. "Oh, I feel it" she said "I feel your knot." Our hips were moving too much for me to just stop. And we were so close to it as well. "Quick, pull out or you might get me pregnant" she said. My hips stopped right as I hilted her on a down thrust as her legs pulled tighter around me till my knot sealed the deal.
She smiled and kissed me. "Oops" she giggled "guess I moved the wrong way." "You meant to do that" I said. She nodded and giggled some more. She milked the rest of my cream into her and smiled. "Just so you know I think you would make a great father" she said cuddling up to me. I held her close and rolled onto our sides. I was asleep before my eyes closed. I think I can say this was the best birthday I had ever had.
Being the way I am and everything that has happen so far. I wasn't sure if that night was just a dream or not. Or if anything was real at that point. Everything just was. before I met the girls I would sleep with a pillow under my arm so I felt like I wasn't alone and felt my heartbeat from the pillow. But waking up this morning I thought I was still dreaming. I felt something pressing into my back and something else pressing into my chest.
"Good morning Hon" I heard Lura say as I felt her soft lips on my cheek. "Morning" I said in my thoughtless tone. "How are you felling" she asked. I blinked my eyes open and seeing her made me smile. "Ask me when I wake up," I said and pulled her closer "cause I think I'm still dreaming." "I know how you feel," she answered "cause I feel the same way." "That's sweet and all" Linx said killing the mood "but I'm sore and hungry."
A shared look and we just roll back over. Pulling the sheet over us we started playing toy with each other. "Oh is that for me" she said petting my well worked wood. "Well if you don't want it" I said. "Oh good lord" Linx said and pulled herself out of bed. "Oh, like you don't want it too" Lura said shooting a playful look to the other wolf. "Not right now I don't" she said "the playboy and his damn ram rod did a number on me last night."
She smiled back at us after she was dressed. "I'll go start breakfast" she added "don't stay in bed all day, or I'll send Tabs in after you." "I don't know he showed he can go two for one" Lura grunted. Linx rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her leaving us alone. We teased and made out but nothing too heavy. We were both really hungry. We threw some clothes on and headed for the kitchen. Linx didn't hear us come in and was mixing eggs for breakfast.
She dropped what she was doing when I put my arms around her and nipped at her neck. "How are you feeling this morning" I asked. "Happy and sore" she answered patting the side of my head "come on now we can play later, I'm trying to cook here." I slid off her and made some coffee for the three of us. I heard footsteps come up behind me after I just sat down, small fox hands wrapped around my head. "Good morning sexy people" Tabitha said and turned my head up to face her.
She kissed me on the lips and giggled when I licked her nose. "Hey go easy on my boyfriend, at least till after we eat" Lura said sipping her coffee. "Love too sexy, but I'm still sore myself" the little fox said "but I wouldn't be against him kissing it and making it better." "Hey not at the table" Linx said turning the eggs in the frying pan "take it in the other room." "Coffee" Lura asked Kelly as she walked in. "Nah, I'm good" she said.
"Well take a seat eggs are almost ready" Linx said. "Nah hurts to sit right now" Kelly answered. "You're the one that wanted it that way" Lura teased and playfully patted the collie on the rear making her jump. "YIPE!" "So what should we do today" Tabitha asked plopping her naked fluffy rear in my lap. "Eat." "Relax." Practice." "Work." "Boring" Tabitha answered "but I guess it works." "Oh, work" Lura asked "After last night you want to work. On what?"
"New songs, stories, house work and I have to bone up on business contracts and legal stature" I answered. "Well what if we want to bone up on a few things as well" Lura asked. "I think we can make time for that" I said and blew her a kiss. "Hay, not at the table" Linx chide setting plates out for everyone. "I did nothing" the little vixen in my lap said before gulping down a cup of coffee. "Yet" Kelly added hiding behind her newspaper.
Breakfast was quick and we spilt to do our thing for a bit. After an hour or so I had some new songs for the girls and somehow finished one or two of my stories. But after I did some research on recording deals and what both sides could get away with. So I'll just have to read the fine print before handing out pens. Once I was done I printed the songs and put them in the green folder and took out the unfinished works so the girls didn't have to wasted time looking for them.
It was just past noon when Lura knocked on the bedroom door. "Hon, I hope you don't mind but we made you some lunch" she said pushing the door open slowly. "Not at all," I said closing my laptop "thank you love." She smiled wagging her tail softly behind her. I held up the prized green folder for her. "Might have to get a bigger folder if they keep coming like this," I said "I just hope good enough to use." She came to take the folder from.
But I didn't let go of it till she gave me a kiss. "Lucky, you're so cute" she teased. "No babe, I'm lucky you're so beautiful" I answered. She blushed and bopped me with the folder. Afterward she thumbed through the new works reading the names off. "Really," she asked "Midnight ballroom?" "What it was playing in my head for a few days now" I said shrugging my shoulders. "Just another day, supernatural fantasy, stand and fight," she finished reading them "they might need some work but they'll do."
She paused closing the folder and with dead serious look on her face she said "Thank you Mr. Aiden that will be all for today." Pause. We both broke out laughing. "But really Hon thank you" she said "we wouldn't have gotten this far without you." "Don't even think like that" I said standing up. Lura took a step back so I could get up. "All I did, was give you the words, you did the rest" I said and pulled her into a deep kiss before she could say anything.
When she did finally pull free of my lips she said "I think lunch can wait a bit longer." With that she pushed me back on to the bed and jump on top of me. And in no short order our clothes were being thrown across the room. After some kissing, groping, petting, teasing, and nipping we were well into our third round when we heard Linx and Kelly talking in the doorway. "Damn, I know he has a nice ass but that is just, damn" Linx said causing me to pause.
"God damn, I'm so close why did you stop" she asked lifting her head. "Sorry, we never really got to see this side of him be for" Kelly said her eyes still glued to my ass. "Well then be quiet and let the man work" Lura said wrapping her legs around me. After a kiss I went back to work making up for the lag. "Yes just like that, right there mmm faster baby" she said before biting into my neck hard enough to draw blood.
She groaned from my knot and squeezed me tighter. I was holding back the best I could. Her body squeezed down tight around me. Her legs locked my hips on hers. Her arms had my chest pinned to hers and teeth had dug in deep into my neck. She wasn't going to let go till she got what she wanted. I nipped at her neck make her jump and squirm under me. Each time a new shockwave jumped between us.
She broke my hold when she pulled her teeth out of my neck and kissed me. My seed flooded her depths with a quiet moan and a sigh. "I could get addicted to this" she said kissing my cheek. "Not bad for a rookie" Kelly said. "Lura, he's bleeding again" Linx said. Lura took a look at her handy work. "Shit, I'm sorry ..." she said before she was cut off by me giving her one to match mine. She gave me an odd looked when I pulled my teeth out of her neck.
She smiled and licked the little bits of her blood off my teeth. "My first hicky from you and you drew blood," she said "I think we created a monster." "Damn it, they started without us" Tabitha called and jumped on my back making both Lura and me groan. "Down girl, they are dating now," Linx said "they can have sex without the rest of us, you know." "From time to time" Lura added. The smallest of the Heaven's Vixens slid off my back and sat on the edge of the bed.
Her ears folded down with a frown on her face. "Aw, but it feels so good" the little fox said. "I know Hun," Lura said. "Well in the mean time, I think someone has some work to do" Linx smiled. I saw the look on Lura's face, like I said before a nightmare with a view. It didn't take them long to get what they wanted. And I can't say I didn't enjoy it as well. But at this rate they'll work me into the ground. And after an hour or so, playtime ended with everyone getting bite marks.
Everyone but me anyway, I had four of them. But anyway, that out of our systems we all went back to work. The girls practice as I ran some errands. It's a good thing they make a really good list of some of the "things" they need and a better one of things they want. And yes, tests and raincoats were on the list. Can't be too ready too soon. But anyway. I get back to the house in time to catch them on a break.
"We're taking a break" Lura said. "Oh, ok" I said closing the door behind me. "Well, more like we're stuck" Tabitha said folding her ears again. "Oh, why are you stuck" I asked. "We can't do this song" Linx said. "That bad" I asked. "No, it's not the song or the music, it's my voice, I can't get the mood of the song" Lura answered. I went to set the bags in the kitchen and came back to find out what was wrong. "We got the sound for it" Linx said "but Lura's voice can't get the tone we need."
They played through the song for me and everything sounded good. But I heard what they were telling me. "I think I know what's wrong with it" Kelly said. Everyone paused to look at her. "We need a deeper voice" she said. The girls thought about it as I tried quietly to make my way to the door. "She's right" Linx said. "We'll need a guy to sing it" Tabitha said rubbing her chin. "Good luck with that, we might as well get Aiden to sing it" Linx said.
Pause, I think I could hear them smile at the thought. "Aiden," Lura said as they each set their instruments aside "Hun?" "Shit, busted" I said and made a dead run break for the door. And I know all too well this was not going to last time I was going to have the four of them pin me to the floor. "I don't think I'm the right guy for this," I said "I can't even sing." "That's why they call it practice" Linx said patting my stomach.
"Come on tall boy, you don't know if you don't try" Tabitha said giving me her best puppy eyes. "Yeah, You got us this far" Kelly added. "Aiden, Hun, we're not asking you to go on stage and make a fool of yourself" Lura said. "Too late" Linx choked back. "Just give us, give me one good try and you're done" Lura asked getting off me "Please." "Ok you win," I said "I don't need to be a party tray again for a day or two."
They took their places once more Lura standing just a few feet away. "Ok," she said "just like at the club, just sing with me." I took a deep breath and waited. "It's just you and me, just sing to me," Lura said keeping me focused on her. I took one more breath as they began to play. I followed the best I could but I didn't think it was any good. After the song was over Lura leaned over to me and kissed me. "You did great," she said "but would you do it one more time?"
I nodded and wait for them to begin again. I knew the words but they just didn't feel right. I closed my eyes for a second. I open my eyes to see her smiling. She didn't rush me. She didn't judge me. She just wanted me to try. And I did. I did the whole song for her. When the music died down she smiled and said "That was great, Aiden we need to get you to sing more often." "Hey, think we can get you to try another one" Tabitha asked batting her eyes.
"Don't push it Tabitha," Linx chided "he might not want to after that gold." "No, not by himself," the little fox added "I'm asked if he want to do one with Lura." "I'm game if he is" Lura answered and turned to me "you don't have to if you don't want too." I just smiled and said "yeah sure, I still don't think I'm that good." "Hon, if we had got to you sooner" Lura said "you would be the singer." After that we pretty much spent the rest of the day working on songs.
Chapter 17
So the weekend end on a high note and we were all ready for the call I had to make. I dialed the number and put it on speaker. I thought it was going to be some quick call for an address or e-mail but I was wrong. The bull we had talked to, answered the phone himself. "Maxwell Heartford" the phone said when it connected. "Yes, hello, I'm Aiden with the Heaven's Vixens" I answered "I was asked to call this number about a contract and recording deal?"
"Heaven's Vixens" he asked "sorry, Aiden was it, I'm not in my office just yet so I don't have anything handy." "My apologies if I called at a bad time" I said. "Think nothing of it" he said "this actually works out." I curled my eye brow; even knowing he couldn't see it. "I'm sorry you lost me" I asked. The girls stayed very quiet but were almost sitting on me. "You calling me works out because thinking about it now, we can chat about what the band and yourself want and see what you have for me" he said taking his time.
"Ok, let's start at your end of things, make sure we can live up to them" I said. This took a good bit and most of what he was saying was how much he was looking to make off the girls and how shows and songs will be done. "Ok Mister Heartford, this Lura lead singer and guitarist," Lura said when the bull talked about song licensing "Aiden is our song writer and every song we use of his is owned by him and that is the first thing we want to make clear."
"Yes, ma'am" the bull answered "and that was one of the things we will cover in the contract." "Well the list of things we want are simple" Linx said "I'm Linx by the way I play base, and we want is for some of the funds we get are to go right to charity." "Kelly here as well, drummer" the collie added "and we would for Aiden to be counted as a band member not just manager but as a member." "Ok, we can do those but Aiden will have to perform the same as the rest to the group," the bull answered.
"He does a lot for us already and he doesn't do crowds very well" Tabitha spoke up in turn "is there a way we can work it where he doesn't have to be out there?" "That we can't do, but what we can do is work out a few things" the bull answered "like for one, he would have to do a set number of songs and be seen on stage from time to time." I didn't really want to be that far out there, and I thought it would look more like I was trying to be the show.
"And anything you would like to add," the bull asked "Aiden?" "Nope, I just want to make sure they don't get over worked or rushed around" I said "pretty much I just want to make sure they are taken care of and I can do that myself." "Sounds easy enough, being their manager we'll get with you about everything, you know shows, signings, recording, all that fun stuff, and we'll see if we can make everyone happy" he said.
At one point the bull made it to his office and had the papers tended to. And after the hard selling and law talk we had most of the deal laid out. "Alright, Aiden babe, here's your part in all of this," Maxwell said "you have at least two songs per album and stage show. Now you don't have to do both alone you just have to sing them. Music videos you just have to be there in front of the camera for a few seconds just to be seen."
"Ok is that everything," I asked checking over the list of things we talked about. "Yes sir, and if you would like I can have you five flown out here to sign, dine and get you started." Maxwell answered. "Ok this sounds too good to be true" I said knowing he was still on the phone "there has got to be something I'm missing." "I understand, it does sound too good, but it's there, it's real and all you have to do is sign it" he said.
So, with less to do after the plans were made, and the girls were overjoyed. We went shopping, packed and did everything we needed to do before the trip. The week went by fast and we found ourselves in the air on a privet jet heading west. Tom I hope you had this in mind before you left. Oh and all five us joined the mile high club, I think that's what it's called. But we all know this was one of those teasers for hopefuls and want-to-bes.
It was less than two hours after we landed that we were loaded up and taken to the hotel we would be spending the week in. we were give the day to just go out and play. We hit beaches, malls, the sights, everything we could do in a day. That night old habits die hard and we had a movie night the way we always had. Me being use as a pillow for the four of them. And the five of us passing out half way through the movie.
The next day we spent some time getting ready. I nervous and wasn't sure what was going to happen but I did my best not to let it show. I read over the pages of the contract a few times even thou it read the same each time. "Aiden is everything ok" Lura asked. I set the pages down and closed my eyes. "The minute we sign this there's no going back" I said "and it's not going to be easy on any of us." "Playboy," Linx said "we sign this you're taking us to the top."
"Not just that" Kelly added "you'll be there with us." "We can't have the Heaven's Vixens without Mr. Vixen" Tabitha said. "We don't care about going back" Lura said "now it's all or nothing. You don't sign we don't sign." They nodded and agreed. I open my eye and looked to each of them. I nodded once. Picked up the pen. Turned the page and started down a new road. No sooner than I finished they each took their turn.
That night we had our own little party. Dinner, movie, and back to the suite to put the giant hot tub to work. Then the shower was put to work, twice. Then we ... well, we broke the bed. Correction beds. So we all took to sleeping on the floor. I hate to see what the bill was after our stay. Well I did, month later with a note. But that story can wait for another time. The next day we had our first recoding session where we met what everyone there called the magi. Ned, Tech and Josh were the best of what they did.
Josh had a weird sleeping disorder and would almost always be asleep. But I was told he did his best work that way. Ned was an alien nut, and found out he was hit by lighting a few dozen times. Tech was the only one of the three who made me look out going and popular. I didn't learn till a year later why he was like that. But he was friendly enough. But back to the story. They had the girls set up to play and everything was going great. Then I had to do two songs.
Singing just to the girls was one thing but this was something else. I knew it was part of the deal but I didn't know what I got myself into. "Aiden, Hun, look at me," Lura said gently holding the side of my head "Hun, look at me. Ok I want you to do what we have been doing. Just sing to me like you did before." I nodded and cleared my throat. "Alright, we ready" she said and gave the magi a thumbs up. I took a deep breath as they began to play.
I blinked a few times till all I could see were the girls. Then I sang just for them as I always do. After the second song I did we were done and had some time to kill before they were done with us. So we start goofing around just unwind. I started play with Tabitha's keyboard. Nothing big just a few notes. But then Tabitha picked up and played a few more. Lura and Linx joined in playing the same notes. Kelly followed up and added a few more.
We just started making up words and soon had a whole song going. The funny part to all of this is the sound crew was recording us. By time we finished they asked if that was a bonus track. All five of us were like "what the hell." Lura told them to go for it and asked if I could record an intro on the set. They said it was alright and they might not use it but never hurts to try. So with the go ahead I turn to the mic and said "Hello, I'm Mr. Vixen and you're about to get a taste of heaven. These are the Heaven's Vixens."
Two months later I found myself in front of the mic again. But this time I was looking out at massive crowd for the release of their first album, Heaven. "Hello everybody, I'm Mr. Vixen and here tonight I have the honor to introduce to you" I said "THE HEAVEN'S VIXENS!" the girls came out on stage each bowing to the crowd and taking their places. I stepped off to the side so Lura could use the mic. "Hey everybody, I'm Lura, lead singer and guitar. On based we have Linx. Sexy isn't she? Back on drums we have the ever playful Kelly. And on the Keyboard we have a sweet cutie by the name of Tabitha" Lura said working the crowd up.
Like we had planned I went to leave the stage. "Hey, where do you think you're going," Lura said pointing at me "Mr. V." I turned trying to wave myself off. "I've seen what you've been up to" she said as the others set up for the first song. I took a mic I was handed and spoke up. "I'm just getting out of the way" I said. "I don't think so" she answered "I'm not done with you." the crowd cheered. "Because" Lura said and swung her piece into place as the music came to life.
"I'm not just the girl of your dreams." She sang the show going into full swing. "Not just a fling in your daydreams. No I'm much more." She paused and turned to the crowd. The lights flicker and died before flooding the stage in colors and light. "I'm your Supernatural fantasy." As planned I drew myself back over to her. "The magical girl you always dream of. The mystic queen of the galaxy. A mythic princess lost at sea."
Lura began teasing me by pressing against me as she was singing. "You think I don't see the way you look at me. Boy you're living another dream. Cause I'm so much more than a playful dream." I went to hold her and she pulled away. "Cause I'm your supernatural fantasy." She turned and was looking right at me. "I'll take to worlds you've never dreamed. I'm your supernatural fantasy. Not just another playful dream."
The crowd loved the game we were playing. Tabitha joined in the singing as well. "I'm the magical girl in your sleep." Tabitha cut out and Linx picked up. "Your mystic queen of the galaxy." Then Kelly had her turn. "The mythic princess lost at sea." Then all four of them picked up. "I'm just your supernatural fantasy. Baby you're living in another dream. Come with me and I'll show you things you've never seen."
They all paused and Lura started up again. "Cause I'm your supernatural fantasy. The magical girl of your dreams. The mystic queen of your galaxy. Your mythic princess lost at sea." The music paused and picked up. "I'm." Beat. "Your." Beat. "Supernatural." Beat. "Fantasy." Lura and I drew back together. This time she didn't pull away when I held her. "Come on baby I see the way you look at me. Don't you think I want to share your dream?
Come on baby I want you to look at me." I let go of her and step back. "Cause I'm more than a dream. I'm your Supernatural fantasy." They all joined in again. "The magical girl of your reality. Your mystic queen of the galaxy. The mythic princess you found at sea. Come on baby you can be mine too!" "Come on people" I said into the mic "We want to hear ya." Lura laughed before playfully pushing me out of the way.
"I'm just more than a day dream. Just more than another dream. I'm your supernatural fantasy. Not just another girl in reality. Just another face on the blank screen. Another skirt washing away." I playfully pushed back at her and she just turned and bummed me with her hip. "I'm a supernatural fantasy. Come on baby come be with me. I'll be your supernatural fantasy." Linx wanted to play and joined us.
With the way they were standing I got pinned between them. "The magical girl in your reality." I gave both of them a half hug each and with the mic I had spoke off to the side. "Aren't they beautiful folks? Got to love them!" "Your mystic queen of your galaxy. The mythic princess you found at sea." The song was starting to die down but not the mood. "Come on baby let me be your. Supernatural fantasy. Come on baby come play with me."
"Come on baby, come play with me" Lura said just right after the music stopped. I caught her off guard by kissing her on the cheek. "Maybe after the show" I said as the rest of the girls broke out laughing. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Mr. V." she said and playfully pushed me away. She nodded and winked at me. My cue for my turn to sing. "You know I didn't have to be here you know" I said as part of the act.
"Right, like you're an angel come down from heaven." She and playfully rolled her eyes. "More like fallen if you ask me" Linx piped in. The girls tuned up for the song as we spoke. "He's too sweet to be a fallen angel" Kelly added. "I don't know" Tabitha said "he looks hot as hell." "What do you think Ladies" Linx asked the crowd "think this angel is hot as hell?" "Better question" Lura said "does he have the voice of an angel?"
The music picked up low and soft as the girls backed away from me. "I might as well" I said "After all." A quick heavy beat kicked in as my next cue. "I fell from grace just to be with you." I closed my eyes letting the song come from the heart. "I fought through hell just to save you. I fell from grace just for you." the girls came in as backup. "We are the fallen and we will rise. We are the fallen and we won't back down."
"I fell for you long before I knew you. I stood with you before I needed you. I died the day you turned your back on Me." the crowd got quiet. "We are the fallen and we will fight back. We are the fallen and we won't turn back." My voice turned bitter and cold. "I'm on my own broken and weak. I'm on my own growing older by the day. I'm on my own cold and alone." The music turned icy as the girls picked up.
"We are the fallen and we will be back again. We are the fallen and we died for you." there was a pause in the music and I could feel everything on me. I open my eyes with a cool rage burning. The music came back hot, heavy and fast. "I'm done crying over you. I'm done dying for you. I'm moving on, I'm moving up. I'm moving past what has been done." The girls matched the rage in my voice. "We are the fallen and we're here for good. We are the fallen and we're here forever."
The icy rage burned off leaving the crowd with chills. I relaxed my face and closed my eyes. I crossed my hands over my chest giving a sense of peace washing over me and the girls. "I prayed for you but now I'm done. I forgave you but I will never forget. I won't be back for you." the music toned back a bit. "We are the fallen. We are the fallen. We are the fallen Now and Forever." The music started dying out.
With a sigh I dropped my hand hands to my sides. "I fell from grace just to be with you. I fought through hell just to save you." the music was gone and I spoke the last line. "And Now I am the fallen for all time." I stepped back from the mic and open my eyes. The crowd was still quiet. "That bad" I asked before the crowd broke out with applause. "There's your answer Mr. V." Tabitha said. "Not bad for a rooky" Linx added.
"Well Girls," Lura said tuning up for the next song "Let's show him how it's done." They did the next three songs back to back and had the crowd going again. I slipped off stage and got the revolver for "Live Round" and checked everything so my gag would work. I came back out on stage as the song began and was just playing around the whole song. Till close to the end when I pulled the gun. My stunt worked because I clicked through five chambers before Lura took the gun from me rolling her eyes and fired the blank at me.
I fell over and played dead. Shocked the crowd who thought I was dead. Stage hands came out to pull me off stage and right when they touched me I jumped back to life. After the song was over I took to a mic and said "looks like I'm not doing that again." "What a ham" Linx said and messed with my hair. "Yeah but we love him anyway" Lura said and gave me another wink. The girls covered most of the song on the album and I did both of the songs I had to do.
Close to the end of the show Lura and Linx backed up and gave me the spotlight. "Ladies and gentlemen," I said "we had a great time with you tonight. But we have one more song for you. So I ask of you. Open your hearts and share with it with us." The girls were ready. "And with all that we are" I said bowing to the crowd "WE GIVE TO YOU, HEAVEN!" I backed off letting the girls have the stage. And just like the first they played it. The song touched everyone.
After the song was over and everyone had a chance to recover I rejoined Lura and Linx on stage. Kelly and Tabitha joined us as well. "Ladies and gentlemen, we would all like to thank you for coming out tonight, and we hope you had a good time" Lura said. "We sure did" Linx said and winked to the crowd. And they closed out the show like they did any other. "Alright we're done for the night. So drive safe and don't stay up too late. And God bless."
We all bowed and were about to leave the stage when the crowd called for an encore. We each look to the others thinking about it. The girls took their places again and I stepped up to the mic. "Alright, alright" I said "you win one more song." "Alright we didn't plan for this so give us a minute" Lura said fixing her piece. "But this is our last call for the night" I said "so let's see what happens." "Alright everybody," Lura said "This is Last Call for Love."
The girls gave us a bar scene tone, and set the mood for the song. Lura opened the song "Back again, I don't see why." We trade off, as I began to sing "They keep telling me, it will be fun." We spilt to the far ends of the stage trading off again "Every time I think I found Mr. Right, all I found was Mr. Wrong time." "I've tried so many times and found nothing at the end of my line." The girls covered us with the course "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love."
Lura and I started turn to face each trading off lines as we went. "Think me weird think me strange, but I think I see him sit at the bar." "Did I miss the joke, did I miss the gag or did I see her staring at me." "May be it's not what I think it is." "Maybe she thought I was someone different." "But maybe." "Just maybe." We cut the trade off and sang as one "Fate stopped laughing at me just this one time."
The girls stepped in again. "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." Lura stepped up "Do I take the chance?" Back to me "Is this my shot?" "Is he truly for me?" "Is she the one for me?" Back to the girls "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love."
"Come on baby say something to me." with each trade off we took a step closer. "Come on honey smile for me." "Don't make me wait." "I don't have all night." "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." The girls ran an instrumental bit giving us all a chance to breath.
"So here I am, come on baby give me a chance." "So here I come, come on honey give me a shot." "Say it right, and I'm yours for the night." "Flash me a smile and I'll stay a while." We both picked up "If we don't work something out then I'm done." the girls joined in "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." Then they cut out.
"Come on baby give me your best." "Come on honey give me your all." "It's time we stop playing this game." "It's time we found what we have both been looking for." The girls came in with the course again. "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." The music slowed down but not the mood. Everything turned back to me and Lura.
"I'm done looking." "I'm done hunting." "Even if we don't work out." "We'll say we had fun." "But something tells me." "I've found the one." The girls joined us one last time as Lura and I were side by side. "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." "This is my last call for love" Lura sang "I think I found it after all." "This is my last call for love" I picked up "Because I found you through it all."
I stepped behind Lura and wrapped my arms around her waist. "This is my last call" she sang reaching up and petting behind my ear. "This is my last call" I sang pulling her close. "My last call for love" we sang to the close, the music dying behind us. We pulled apart and took a bow. If we didn't get off stage now the crowd wasn't going to let us.
We gave the crowd a big send off and left the stage. It took almost an hour before we could even try to go home. "Sign this, sign that." I think at one point someone yield "sign my ..." know what I let you fill that one in on your own. But this is what we signed up for. And we had the time of our lives. But this was just the beginning.
Chapter 18
Two and half years have passed since the Heaven's Vixens came into my life. Finding some time to be alone was a bit tricking but I had my reasons. Our next show was going to be big and I was going to blow them all always. But for now I had to hide my secret till the time was right. Returning to the where the show was going to be that night I hide it in my outfit for the show.
I had to check a few things before the show and sign a few more papers. After that it was back to the hotel to get the girls ready. This was going to be fun. I had knocked and let myself into the room. I found the girls were just about ready when I walked in. "You should tell him right after the show" Tabitha said before turning to see me.
"I'd asked but you just said to wait" I said "hi, everyone ready?" "Hey, just about" she answered. "Hey Hon" Lura said looking a little pale "Everything ok?" I nodded and asked "are you ok?" she nodded and smiled. I smiled back at her. "Alright girl it's show time" I said. "You can wait just a minute" Linx said as we all pulled into a huddle.
Like with every show they said a pray. Once we were ready it was out to the limo and to the show. As with every show so far we had a signing post set up after the sound check. Everything was looking good. It we got backstage. After I had finished talking with a few big wigs I caught Linx in one of the hallways.
"Hey everything ok" I asked. She jumped and quickly put something in her pocket. "Fine, everything is just fine" she answered and brushed a lose hair out of her face "we ready to go?" I nod and made my way to the stage. I didn't give much thought other than she seemed jumpy. Maybe it was just preshow jitters.
I guess I forgot to say this but I quick smoking. But I changed over to candy sticks and the like. But at times I still have a nic-fit. And now was one of those times. I made my way to the stage after being told I had five minutes. I met up with the girls as they were getting their lines set for the opening. I gave Lura a hug and kiss and asked "you ready beautiful?"
"Yeah, are you" she asked kissing me again. "I hope so" I said. Turning around I saw Linx and her boyfriend Charlie going at it. Tabitha was teasing her boy toy and Kelly trying to calm hers down as well. "Alright people everyone not in the show get out of here" one of the stagehands yelled and chased the others off.
I sighed and puffed on my chew stick. With a nod I turned and walked out on stage. I stopped on my mark, pulled the candy from my face and held a finger to my lips everyone got quiet. "Well if you all know who I am, there's no point in say it but for those who don't" I said flicking ghost ash off my candy " I'm Mister Vixen, and tonight we're going to remind you that dreams do come true and ask that you help kids find their dreams too."
I paused to let the crowd quiet down. "So let's not waste any more time," I said "Ladies and Gentlemen, from world beyond I give to you, THE HEAVEN'S VIXENS." The lights dimmed as four forms lowered from the top of the stage. One held a sword, another, a shield, the third a scroll, the last held a small chest.
"From Heaven we come with gifts of glory" they all said as one. I stopped and turned on the spot. "Yeah, right" I said and snapped my fingers. The chest, sword, scroll and shield all shot off stage as did the white robes they were wear. They were all wearing the first outfits I had made for them as a reminder of where they came from.
Without skipping a beat they all took their places. "Thanks Mr. V., you out done yourself" Lura said flinging her piece into place. "We'll take it from here" Linx said tuning her guitar. I stepped off to the side puffing on my candy giving the girls the stage. "Hey everyone, you ready to have a good time" Lura yelled into her mic.
The crowd answered with cheers and shouts. "Good, let's get started" she said. More cheers came about. "Why don't we start off with a bang and load it with a LIVE ROUND!" the crowd jumped and dance with the music. "It's the end for you and I. The time has come make the final bet. There's no turning back now."
Lura sang as the girls and the crowd joined in. "So load it with a live round." "And give that wheel a spin" as my love sang I jumped around in sighting everyone to do the same. "I'll lay it all out on the line. This is my one last chance. It's all or nothing." I couldn't help but join in when I could. "So load it with a live round."
"And give that wheel a spin." As she sang Lura stomped her foot marking the words "I'll give it more then what I got. This is my one last stand. It's now or never." I walked over to her when the music paused. With a blast sound the music blew back. "So load it with a live round." "And give that wheel a spin. Lura and smiled at me and gave me a wink.
"You think I'm goanna give in. You say I'm goanna back down." she poked at me before pushing me back. "IT"S NOT YOU'RE CALL!" "So load it with a live round." "And give that wheel a spin." "I'll take it to the last level. AND NOW it beings. Now's the time to lay it out." "SO load IT with a LIVE ROUND!" so like so many times before I pulled a revolver and loaded it.
"And give that wheel a spin. This is the end. So pull the trigger. And let's see who wins." I snapped the piece shut cocked the hammer, smiled and said "all bets are off." Pulled the trigger and fired the blank round over the crowd. "SO LOAD IT WITH A LIVE ROUND, AND GIVE THAT WHEEL A SPIN." The girls closed the song, together.
Lura took a minute to catch her breath before turning to the crowd. "Alright, alright, calm down before someone gets hurt" she said as playfully as she could. "We're just getting started" she continued "and before we continue with the next song I want to ask everyone to help keep music in schools and help kids find their dreams by supporting all the arts to help make this world a better place."
I pocket the revolver and folded my hands behind me. "After all, everyone has a dream" Linx added "it's that one thing we want more than anything else." "To do or be part of something great," Tabitha said "to be something special." "Everyone wants to be seen for what they have done," Kelly took her turn "and hear how great it is."
"And it's our dream to see everyone find their dream and reach it" Lura finished. "Not everyone is going to hit it big and be a star" I said "but that shouldn't stop anyone from trying. I've been with the Heaven's Vixens for a few years and the most fun we all had was the small shows. Where everyone was just having a good time. And I can say I've found my dream and the girl of my dreams."
"Hey, Mr. V." Lura cut me off "we still have a show to do." The girls start the next song. "And just so you know" she said and cut into the song. "I'm not just the girl of your dreams. Not just a fling in your daydreams. No I'm much more." they all joined in the chorus. "I'm your Supernatural fantasy. The magical girl you always dream of. The mystic queen of the galaxy. A mythic princess lost at sea."
Lura took over and was playfully pushing me around. "You think I don't see the way you look at me. Boy you're living another dream. Cause I'm so much more than a playful dream." She paused and teased me with a kiss. "Cause I'm your supernatural fantasy. I'll take to worlds you've never dreamed." It wasn't planed but I tripped and fell on my back.
It just happen to work out and Lura helped me up without losing her place in the song. "I'm your supernatural fantasy. Not just another playful dream. I'm the magical girl in your sleep. Your mystic queen of the galaxy. The mythic princess lost at sea." She gave me a loving smile and held my cheek. "I'm just your supernatural fantasy. Baby you're living in another dream."
She pulled away mostly to tease. "Come with me and I'll show you things you've never seen." Everyone joined in. "Cause I'm your supernatural fantasy. The magical girl of your dreams. The mystic queen of your galaxy. Your mythic princess lost at sea." The music paused. "I'm." Beat. "Your." Beat. "Supernatural." Beat. "Fantasy." The music jumped back to life.
"Come on baby I see the way you look at me." Lura pulled me close and I moved behind her so she could play. "Don't you think I want to share your dream? Come on baby I want you to look at me. Cause I'm more than a dream." The girls joined in again. "I'm your Supernatural fantasy. The magical girl of your reality. Your mystic queen of the galaxy. The mythic princess you found at sea."
"Come on baby you can be mine too! I'm just more than a day dream. Just more than another dream." Lura and Linx were having too much fun using me to play pong, with hip bumps. "I'm your supernatural fantasy. Not just another girl in reality. Just another face on the blank screen. Another skirt washing away. I'm a supernatural fantasy."
There was a pause before the next beat change. "Come on baby come be with me." "I'll be your supernatural fantasy. The magical girl in your reality. Your mystic queen of your galaxy. The mythic princess you found at sea." Lura closed her and softened her voice. "Come on baby let me be your. Supernatural fantasy. Come on baby come play with me."
The girls started laughing when I kissed Lura on the cheek. "Alright, calm down" I said "bunch of animals." "Hey not everyone can be an angel like you" Linx said toying with her hair. "I'm far from being an angel" I said turning to face her. "I don't know" Tabitha added "you do seem too good to be true." I shrugged and turned to the crowd.
"True or not, doesn't mean the world has lost everything" I said "but for those understand, losing everything is the only way to find that one thing in life that makes it worth living." Kelly's drums beat like a broken heart. Tears fell from Tabitha's keys. Lura and Linx guitars sang out with hurt and betrayal. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Fallen" I said and stepped back for a second.
I let the music fill the hall before I stepped and sang. "I fell from grace just to be with you. I fought through hell just to save you. I fell from grace just for you." "We are the fallen and we will rise. We are the fallen and we won't back down." Their voices rang out in cold anger. "I fell for you long before I knew you. I stood with you before I needed you. I died the day you turned your back on me."
I folded my arms curled my fists. "We are the fallen and we will fight back. We are the fallen and we won't turn back." The drum beat slowed almost soundless. "I'm on my own broken and weak. I'm on my own growing older by the day. I'm on my own cold and alone." Their voices broke the cold death mine gave. "We are the fallen and we will be back again. We are the fallen and we die for you."
My fist swung out almost knocking the mic stand down as drums sped up into a burning rage. The keys screams with hate and the guitars lashed out bitterly. "I'm done crying over you. I'm done dying for you. I'm moving on, I'm moving up. I'm moving past what has been done." A clam filled the hall. "We are the fallen and we're here for good. We are the fallen and we're here forever."
My voice chilled and relaxed. "I prayed for you but now I'm done. I forgave you but I will never forget. I won't be back for you." The hall got quiet. "We are the fallen. We are the fallen. We are the fallen Now and Forever." The music began to trail off as I ended the song. "I fell from grace just to be with you. I fought through hell just to save you. And Now I am the fallen for all time."
They girl burn through two more songs and gave one of the smaller name bands a chance to play. Backstage I check my pockets for another candy stick and found my secret was gone. I check all of my pockets and again and started back tricking my steps. "Hey playboy" Linx called holding a small box in her hand.
"Drop something" she asked knowing better. "Linx, really" I asked closing in on her. "Relax, no one knows about it by sides me" she said and hide the box on her person again. I scowled my jaw with a glare. "I'll play along only because I want to see the look on her face" Linx said "and I know she'll love it." the busily wolf skipped off taking my box with her.
I shook my head just having to trust her. And I had it all planned out too. I found Lura coming out of the ladies room lightly holding herself. "Hey beautiful" I said giving her a hug from behind and kissed her neck "you feeling ok?" "Yeah, just got myself worked up" she said and gently pushed me off. My head tilted feeling hurt as she ran back into the ladies room.
I sighed shrugging a bit. "If she wasn't feeling good she should have told me I would have moved the show to a later date" I said to myself and headed back to the stage. We regrouped just off stage. Luna looked a little better but gave me a weak smile. "Don't give me that look, I'm fine" she said kissing my cheek.
"Thank You all and we want to thank the Heaven's Vixens for sharing the stage with us tonight" the lead singer said before I stepped out on stage. "Leaving so soon" I said coming into view of the crowd "but the show's not over yet?" "No Mister Vixen sir, just giving the stage back" she answered. "Well thank you" I said "alright, well there's an idea."
"You read my mind Hun" Lura said as the girls took the stage. "Wait what" the young feline singer gasped. "Play with us" Lura asked and nodded. "Play with you" the cat girl asked and paused "YES WE ... we would love to." Her band mates all agreed nodding "yeah, hell yeah." And out of all the songs I wrote they had to pick the goofy little song we made up in the recording studio back when we first started.
By now everyone knew I like to be the goofball on stage. So no one was taken by me pulling a rubber chicken out of my coat and start goofing around. The girls let the new comers take lead and help them keep pace with the song. The "Fire Starters" as they called themselves asked if I would do a song as well. You know me I can't really turn down a request like that.
That went by quickly and the Fire Starters thanked us and the crowd again and left the stage for the time be. I got bored of the rubber chicken and threw it out into the crowd. A bunch of them attacked it. "Alright, alright settle down people" I said "bunch of animals." "Don't kill the mood Mr. V." Tabitha said letting the crowd go wild once more.
"I'm not" I said "just wanted to bring up the next song." "I'm starting to think you like to hear yourself talk" Lura teased with a playful smile. We all paused as all the joy drain from our faces. "Ladies and gentlemen," I said after a long second or two "please settled down for a moment." "We would like you all to know this next means a lot to us," Lura said "it's because of this song we are standing up here tonight."
"And because of that we ask you to open your hearts to one another" I said taking Lura's hand and kissing it. "And share all the love and hope you have for one another" Lura said doing the same. I stepped back moving off to the side of the stage give the girls as much room as I could. "Ladies and Gentlemen this is Heaven" Lura said as the music began.
Everything got quiet as the cries of the music filled the hall. "Will Heaven be there for me? Will they let me in? Will I be forgiven for the things I've done?" the words rang from her lips like a tear finding its way down a cheek. "I left your heart broken. I left your soul in tears. I left you needing the things I never gave." My eyes watered having to watch them recall all the pain from their lives.
"Will Heaven be there for me with all I've done? Will they let me in knowing how much I hurt you? Will I be forgiven for all the things I've said?" I felt my heart beat in time with the drums as I dried my face with my hand. "I left your heart broken. I left your soul in tears. I left you needing the things I wouldn't give." My arms curled around me wanting to take her pain away.
"Do you think if I was willing? Do you think if I was open? Do you think if I were to change?" I felt my lips moving to the words as I watched the crowd sway in time of the notes. "Will Heaven be there for me? Will they let me in? Will I be forgiven for my sins?" Lura look over to me and I just smiled. She turned back to the crowd giving her all.
"I left your heart broken in glass. I left your soul in tears washing away. I left you needing me but I just walked away." Her eyes closed as she played, letting the music speak for itself. "There are no words to say. There are no acts to save. Just everything to regret." She had to dry her eyes as did each of them. As the song reminded them of everything they had gone through to get here.
"There is no place for me anymore. No more hope to pass along. All joy is gone." With the song coming to a close I started to make my way over to her. "Will Heaven be there for me? Will they let me in? Will I be forgiven ever again?" The music died out with the last words as I took her in my arms. "That was beautiful I whispered to her and kissed her.
"AWWW" we heard from the crowd bring us back to the stage. "Hey we still have a show to do" Linx said "so save it for later." "Right" we both said forcing ourselves apart. "Well I'd say we need a break after that" I said "so let's get things moving and have the Storm Riders take the stage." With that we took a quick bow and left the stage.
Chapter 19
After the last break in the show and a few songs with the two starting up bands we had were almost done for the night. We were so close to the end I started shaking. Up to this point I never need a cigarette this badly. Because my plan was to do it after the last song before we close out the show. And with two songs left time was running out.
First chance I got I shot Linx a look and she just tapped her pocket. I nodded. She shot back at me. I answered with two fingers counting the songs left. She nodded. The stage was set the upstarts were done. Two songs till the end. Wish me luck. Our chit-chat died out as the music pick up. My heel tapped counting the beats.
"Back again, I don't see why." Lura opened. "They keep telling me, it will be fun." I picked up into our trade off. "Every time I think I found Mr. Right, all I found was Mr. Wrong time." "I've tried so many times and found nothing at the end of my line." I started playing with the mic stand just to keep my hands still. In one voice we all took up the course.
"But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." Four beats the Lura pick up again. "Think me weird think me strange, but I think I see him sit at the bar." She smiled at me turning it over again. "Did I miss the joke, did I miss the gag or did I see her staring at me." Trade off.
"May be it's not what I think it is." Trade again. "Maybe she thought I was someone different." The music slowed in a questioning air. "But maybe?" she teased. "Just maybe?" I joked with one of those grins going. The music seemed to pause but sped up in no time. "Fate stopped laughing at me just this one time." we sang out. The girls picked up with us.
"But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." The music rolled back as Lura took up the mic again. "Do I take the chance?" Another trade off to me. "Is this my shot?" Trade again. "Is he truly for me?" Trade back. "Is she the one for me?" we picked up the girls again.
"But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." Lura picked up again giving it her all. "Come on baby say something to me." she passed it off to me again. "Come on honey smile for me." she kept the ball rolling before I could pass it off. "Don't make me wait."
I picked up just as fast. "I don't have all night." The girls picked up over us "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love." Lura took over again. "So here I am, come on baby give me a chance." I took over before she could finish. "So here I come, come on honey give me a shot."
She was starting to breathe harder but kept going. "Say it right, and I'm yours for the night." I slowed down a step. "Flash me a smile and I'll stay a while." We both paused for a second. "If we don't work something out then I'm done." The girls joined in again. "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love."
The last part of the song was the hardest on all of us. "Come on baby give me your best." "Come on honey give me your all." Lura and I sang as one. "It's time we stop playing this game. It's time we found what we have both been looking for." The girls joined quickening the pace. "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love."
We stopped trading off singing our part right over the other. "I'm done looking." "I'm done hunting." We cut over singing together again. "Even if we don't work out. We'll say we had fun. But something tells me. I've found the one." The girls took over so we could breathe. "But I'll put it out there one more time. This is my one last chance, one last time. This is my last call for love."
Lura took over one last time. "This is my last call for love. I think I found it after all." My last part hit. "This is my last call for love. Because I found you through it all." Together we closed the song as the music died out behind us. "This is my last call. This is my last call. My last call for love." The last notes died off before we started breathing again.
"Well that was fun" I said once I could talk again. The girls rested their hand as I dug out one of my candies. "Hun you have no idea" Lura said double taking over her shoulder. "Hey now we got them all worked up" Linx said waving her hands getting the crowd to start shouting. "Yeah you can feel the love in here" Tabitha added mocking the act of cutting the air with a knife.
"Well then maybe I should calm things down a bit" I said waving the jokes off. They nodded and agreed. "Hey we got a dance floor out there I think" I added looking over the crowd. They surged an answer. "Well do or don't, let's make some room out there and get couples together for this next song" I said waving my arms a bit.
The girls let me know they were ready by starting. As the soft melody fill the air as I cleared my throat. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Midnight Ballroom" I said and whispered the song to live "I was holding my breath when you looked at me. I took a chance and came to you. Now that you're with me let me share this night with you."
Their soft voices chimed in "Come with me and dance with the clouds. Count the stars toast the moon. Kiss the sunset good night." Two taps of a foot added the two other bands. I picked up "Will you stay in this night with me forever? Take a breath here's your chance just follow your dream. Take my hand you can lead just trust in me."
Couples broke out in a slow dance leaving gaps in the crowd. All three bands sang in tune as one voice "Come with me and dance with the clouds. Count the stars toast the moon. Kiss the sunset good night." In time I continued "We'll keep this midnight forever. Say a pray make wish and take a step. Listen to the melody in the breeze."
The chorus stepped in "Come with me and dance with the clouds. Count the stars toast the moon. Kiss the sunset good night." I picked up again keeping in time with the music "Never let me go just stay with me forever. Here's your chance, make your move and chase after your dreams. We'll never lose this dream." The chorus picked up "Come with me and dance with the clouds. Count the stars toast the moon. Kiss the sunset good night."
My heart was racing. It was the first time I was doing this song live. But I stayed with the music. "Kiss me and we will stay together forever. We spend our days in this dream. We will stay in this night forever." The bands picked up again "Come with me and dance with the clouds. Count the stars toast the moon. Kiss the sunset good night."
As the music soft I finished the song alone. "Just one kiss and we spent forever together." "This dream." "This never ending dream." "Will dance in my heart forever." The music was all but gone. "Come with me and dance with the clouds. Count the stars toast the moon. We'll kiss the sunset good night."
I paused after the song to hear what the audience thought. Quiet clapping turned into a roar of applause. "Thank you" was all I said and took a few steps back. After that I could mess this up. I looked at Linx with the "NOW" look and started digging in my pockets. Lura was watching her brow curled. "Where did I put that thing" I said letting the mic pick up on it. "Put what" Lura asked.
"Lose something playboy" Linx said pulling my ring box from her pocket and handed it to me. "Hey you can't call me that anymore" I said taking my box back. "Oh why's that" she asked. "Cause I'm married" I answered. "Hey, hey, hey, I know you well enough to know that's a lie" Lura said taking the bait. I bit my lip turning to her.
Then in one move I open the box to her and dropped to my knee and asked "then will you make an honest man out of me?" Her eyes grew her jaw drop and a bright red blush cover her face before her hands did. Her hands covered her face not her mic. "Oh my god, oh my god, you must be joking" she said almost bouncing on the spot. I shook my head and held the ring up a bit more.
She took the gold band ring shaped like a stem with a rose ruby stone. She slipped the ring onto her finger and picked me up by the head. She pulled me into a deep kiss getting real cheers and "awes" from them. "Looks like I don't have a choice" she said before adding "Dad." Did I hear her right? "Dad?" I asked.
"Correct" she said and put my hand on her belly. After a second I felt it. My eyes went wide my heart raced. I don't know what came over me but I pick her and spun her around. "Had to one up me" I teased. She giggled and hugged me. "Take easy or you'll make me throw up" she said patted my head. "I don't think we got anything to top that" Tabitha said.
"Who said anything about topping it" Kelly said "I think just need to top it off." "You thinking what I'm thinking" Linx asked. "Oh yeah" Lura said a big smile on her face "but can we get a bucket just in case?" one of the stage hands ran a bucket out to us and set it off to the side. "Well with that out of the way" I said "let's give them a show."
The girls started up. Lura kicked it to life. "Hello mom, work is fine, and the boss is a jerk. My boyfriend's fine, he just proposed." Lura made sure to hold up her ring. "Everyone fine." I just stood off to the side a bit and just goofed around. "It's just the same old thing. Just another day. Why does it have to be the same?"
Everything was in full swing. "I just need to break away. Life can wait just a single day. I don't want it to be just another day. I just need to break away." Lura paused but shook it off. "Come on baby let's get away. Come on baby take my hand. We'll make the way." The notes slowed for a few seconds. "I'm not mad. I'm not losing my mind. I'm just bored. I need more from life."
There a quick pause before the music picked up. "I just need to BREAK AWAY. Life can wait just A SINGLE DAY." Lura softened her voice again "Come on baby let's get away. Come on baby take my hand. And we'll take the day. I'm not running away. I just need to play." She gulped hard and gasped without ever losing her place.
"We'll be back and life will be the same. Come on baby, we'll break away. Come on baby, let's take the day. Come on baby, just my hand. And we'll make the play." I started to get worried about her. She had been pushing herself the whole show. But she didn't let up and kept in time with the music. "Call in sick, take day. Your boss won't mind. You're always too kind."
I stopped goofing off and was standing right behind her. She knew I was there and knew why. She leaned back on me letting me know she was ok. "Come on baby let's share our day. Come on baby take my hand. And we'll save life for another day." The way she was leaning was going to make it hard for to get back up without help.
When she was read I gave her a small push and timing couldn't be better. "Tomorrow will come again anyway. But for today let's break the chain. I just need to BREAK AWAY. LIFE CAN WAIT JUST ANOTHER DAY." The music started dying out as did her voice. "JUST ANOTHER day. JUST another day. Just another ... day."
With the song over we closed out as we always do. "Alright we're done for the night. So drive safe and don't stay up too late. And God bless."
