Fools Rush In

Author's Note:

This was a short, sort of filler chapter but I love it so much! I can just picture this whole scene in my head. And I adore it!

Becky approached me while Drake was doing a few of his songs before he called me out on stage.
"Hey girl," she said. "How is everything?"
I shrugged, "I guess it could be better."
"That doesn't sound good," she frowned.
"No it's fine," I lied. "Just ignore me."
"Hmm, okay," she said. "But if you need to talk you have my number now."
I nodded, "Thanks Becky, I appreciate it."
"For the next couple of songs I want to bring out a close friend of mine," I heard Drake tell the audience.
"That's my cue," I said.
"Knock em dead!" she said.
"Please give it up for Gemma Curtis."
The crowd cheered and I ran out on stage.
"Now Gemma and I were thinking about changing it up a little," he said into the mic. "How would you guys feel if we sang two songs together?"
The crowd cheered.
"Excellent," he said, and started playing a few notes of Samantha and I started getting nervous.
He came over to me and whispered, "You're going to do great. I still believe in you."
I smiled and he started singing. When we finished the song the noise level was louder than I was used to.
My adrenaline was still pumping later when he came off stage.
"I told you you'd kill it," he cried, picking me up for a bear hug like he did that first show we did.
"That was so amazing!" I said, when he set me down. He kissed me. I was on cloud nine and the events from earlier seemed to fade away from my memory as I kissed him back.
"I told you you could do it," he said, when our lips parted. "That's my girl!"
"This is officially the best night of my life!" I cried. "We need to get drinks."
"Agreed," he said. "Should we stick around for the rest of the show or go hit up the hotel bar?"
"I don't care," I laughed. "I just need a drink."
"Garson?" Drake called out in a phony French accent.
I laughed and he told one of the security guards to bring us drinks.
Hanson took the stage, and Becky, Nikki, and Natalie joined us backstage where we could still see the stage but weren't noticeable to the crowd.
"I see you're feeling better?" Becky asked, as I took my second drink from the waitress the security guard implemented as our personal waitress for the evening.
I laughed, "I feel great!"
Drake smiled, "She's gonna be a superstar!"
Becky laughed, and soon her, Nikki and Nat joined us for drinks.
By the time the band began "Where's the Love" we were all pretty lit, and a chorus broke out of us singing along with the band.
"Where's the right in all of our fighting?
Look at what you're doing.
Where's the love?
It's not enough.
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and..
Where's the love?
Give it up.
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and 'round."
When it was time for Isaac's solo, Zac and Taylor joined us backstage.
"You guys got our wives drunk?" Zac asked, when Becky threw her arms around his neck and professed her undying love for him.
I laughed, "They needed to have some fun!"
He laughed, "Oh I got a great idea for some fun."
He whispered something in Tay's ear and Taylor smiled and nodded.
After all three of them had done their solo's we heard the first few chords of "Give a Little" and us girls screamed along with the girls in the crowd.
"Now as you know," Taylor said to the crowd. "We're home so we get to see our families and spend a little time with them."
The crowd cheered.
"Our children are at home sleeping," Taylor continued, smiling. "But our beautiful wives are currently backstage getting drunk with Drake Bell & Gemma Curtis. Hey Drake what do you gotta say for yourself?"
Taylor tossed him a mic and motioned for him to come out on stage. Everyone cheered again as Drake obliged.
"What can I say, Taylor?" Drake said, smirking as he shrugged his shoulders. "Those ladies work harder than any of us. They deserve a night off!"
Becky, Nikki, and Nat cheered louder than anyone in the whole venue.
"Okay," Taylor said. "You have a point there. But seeing as how you started this -"
Drake cut him off, "Hey Gemma was the one who wanted drinks!"
"Oh?" Taylor said, looking backstage at me. "Is that so Miss Gemma?"
He tossed me a mic and made me come out on stage too.
"And clearly Drake's a tattletale," I laughed, joining them on stage.
"Now now," Taylor said. "I thought I just said the children were at home in bed."
The crowd was eating the whole thing up. They were cheering and laughing right along with us.
"Anyway," Taylor continued. "Since both of you started all this. You are going to convince the lovely Mrs. Hanson's to join us on stage for this next song."
Becky, Nat, and Nikki were all shaking their heads as we motioned for them to come up.
I ran back and grabbed Becky's hand, pulling her on stage and over to Zac's drums. Drake grabbed Nikki and Natalie's arms and pulled them up on stage as well. They were all beat red.
"We're not nearly drunk enough for this," Becky said, into Zac's mic.
"Look's like our work here is done," Drake said, tossing the mic back to Taylor.
"Not so fast," Taylor said. "You aren't getting away that easily. You two are staying up here and dancing too."
"Oh no," I said. "I don't dance."
"Well, tonight you do," Taylor said, winking at me.
They started playing again, and Taylor grabbed Natalie and started dancing with her. When it was time for him to start singing, he motioned for us to start dancing. Drake took me by the waist and we started dancing along to the beat.
"These guys think they're cute," Drake said, into my ear. I laughed.
Each one of them took turns dancing with their wives, and Drake took over their instrument while they did. Drake and I took turns dancing with each of the girls too. It was like a big dance party on stage with all of us singing along. Drake and Taylor even got silly and pulled out a few dance moves together.
Drake returned to me as the song was coming to an end, he put his arms around my waist and when they finished; without hesitation, he kissed me.
The crowd went nuts as we exited the stage, with Nikki, Becky, and Nat behind us.
"Give it up for Drake, Gemma, Becky, Nikki and Natalie," Taylor said, with a laughter in his voice, and the crowd cheered. "That was awesome!"
"Did that seriously just happen?" Becky asked, laughing.
I laughed, "Best night ever!"
The waitress brought us more drinks and the rest of the night was sort of a blur of drinking, dancing, and laughter.
