Is It An Impossible Love?

Chapter 60 - Part One

EMILY

"Hello everybody!" Joel cheers into the microphone taking a seat by the piano, Nina standing beside him holding her own microphone.

"We're here to celebrate the marriage of Mr and Mrs Bradley and Emily Simpson. Aren't they an adorable couple?" Nina grins, pointing over at Brad and I. He squeezes my hand tighter. I look at him, smiling. Everyone cheers, some whistling. Yes, so I did manage to find Brad in the crowd.

"So, this is kind of a... Toast I guess? But in a song" Joel says, Nina winking.

"We'll have a real toast later on." Nina assures.

"This is to the lovely couple!" Joel shouts into the microphone, people cheer.
He places his mic in the hold so he can play the piano, while singing. Not even 3 weeks ago did I find out he is a very talented lad in music.

Joel's fingers softly play over the keys, the rhythm sounding oh so familiar.

"Does anyone like Marvin Gaye?" Joel asks, continuing with playing.

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
Joel sings, my face turning beet red. Brad looks over at me, pulling me onto his lap. I cannot believe them.
I continue to watch and listen my two best friends.

You got the healing that I want
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
Joel sings, winking at me. I roll my eyes. Nina stands there dancing around like a lunatic. She doesn't give a darn what people say about her. She's so carefree!

We got this king size to ourselves
Don't have to share with no one else
Don't keep your secrets to yourself
It's karma sutra show and tell
Woah
There's loving in your eyes
That pulls me closer
It's so subtle, I'm in trouble
But I'd love to be in trouble with you,
The piano plays for a few seconds before he's back to singing, slower this time. Nina joining in half way.

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You got that heal in' that I want
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on,

(Joel and Nina )
You got to give it up to me
I'm screaming mercy, mercy please
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on,
Nina starts her own solo, her stunning voice echoing through the whole place.
Joel looks at her, a glint of admiration in them.

And when you leave me all alone
I'm like a stray without a home
I'm like a dog without a bone
I just want you for my own
I got to have you babe

(Joel and Nina )
Woah
There's loving in your eyes
That pulls me closer
It's so subtle, I'm in trouble
But I'd love to be in trouble with you
Nina grins over at me, dancing like a weirdo. I roll my eyes, loosely wrapping my arms around Brad's neck. His arms wrap around my waste.

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You got the healing that you want
Just like they it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on,
Brad looks up at me, a huge grin on his face. Does he not know what they are implying here? Their talking about Brad and my sex life!

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on
You got the healing that I want
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on,
You got to give it up to me
I'm screaming mercy, mercy please
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on,
Just like they say it in the song
Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on,
They sing the whole song perfectly, never missing a beat. Brad, me and the rest of the crowd clap, whistle and even laugh.
I'd mistake them for Charlie Puth and and Meghan Trainor even, it was that good.
Joel plays out the last few keys, standing up hands in the air.
