"I'm going to karoke your ass off!" Beverly threatened Eddie. "Damn, Eddie's been here for one day and you're already threatening him?" Ben teased. Eddie giggled and stuck out his hand. "I accept your challenge." Beverly shook Eddie's hand and led everyone to the karoke machine.
"Choose your song Ms. Marsh." Richie said in a fake commentary voice.
"Bad reputation by Joan Jett." Beverly stated. Richie pulled up the sing and pressed play.
Beverly had a great voice, that's a given. Her dances moves really sold it. Ben was a blushing mess through the whole song.
Richie clapped once the song was done. "Well done Beverly." Richie complimented.
Eddie groaned and stood up off the floor. "What's your song Eds?" Richie asked. "I just died in your arms by cutting crew." Eddie muttered. Richie grinned, "Excellent song choice." Richie said as he pressed play.
EDDIE'S POV
I
gulped as I heard the sing start.
"Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight."
I stared at Richie the whole time. Might as well make it known that I'm talking about him through the song.
"I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this."
Richie grinned and winked at me. I blushed and decided to look at the rest of the group. They were all dancing together and smiling. They were enjoying it. I need to let loose.
"Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away."
I pulled Richie up from the floor. His hands found his way onto my hips. I smiled and caressed his cheek.
"Is there any just cause for feelin' like this?
On the surface, I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times."
Richie was chuckling at the dance moves I was pulling out of no where. It made my heart beat ten times faster.
"It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong."
Bill was smiling and waving his hands back and forth. Ben and Beverly were swaying together with large smiles plastered on their faces. Richie was jumping up as high as he could and twirling me.
"Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away."
The song ended. Everyone cheered. "I got to say. I think Eddie won that one. I'm sorry Bev." Richie gave me a tight hug and smiled at Beverly. "I agree with you. You killed it Eds." I smiled at the compliments and put the cheap microphone away.
