“What do you mean, “Rest of us”? You and Alice already know!”

“He grinned and nodded to the stage.”

“Pay attention.” He whispered.

With a “humph”, I turned to see Lauren walk on stage.

She sang, “Don’t cha” By the Pussy cat dolls. Go figure.

After 4 kids sang their hearts out, most of which were way off key, – and one of them sang “Girl Next Door” by Saving Jane, I could tell it was directed at Rosalie- I saw Mike take the stage.

Edward coughed a laugh, and I kicked him under the table. Probably broke a toe or two.

Mike looked at me, and I smiled encouragingly.

The music started, but he didn’t look away from me. Either he had memorized the song, or was going to fall flat on his face.

Option b. He opened his mouth and started to sing . . . to me.

“Hey baby girl, I’ve been watching you all day (all day x3)
Man, that thing you got behind you is amazing (amazing x3)”

Edward didn’t like that, he growled quietly, and I would have kicked him again if I wasn’t so, so, mortified.

I started to sink down into my chair.

“You make me want to take you out and let it rain (let it rain x3)
I know you got a man, but this is what you should say
Why don’t you tell him that

I’m leavin', never to come back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
No more making you cry, no more them gray skies”

Once again Edward growled at this statement, no doubt thinking of when he left me.

I just sank lower into the chair as people started to stare at me rather then Mike.

Girl, we flying on that G-5, G-5
And we're leavin', never to come back again
So, call your shorty and tell him you found a new man
The one that so, so fly
The one that keep you high
Have you singing all night like, like
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Man she gon' be singing like
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh”

Edward growled, I sank into the chair. And people started to giggle.
