Copilot~ Rooster (Top Gun: Maverick FanFic)

chapter 13

May 16th

"Emma are you okay?" my mom asks putting a hand on my face. "How could she say that?" I ask. "Because she's a nasty bitch." Phoenix says. They try to settle me down for a while. I take a couple shots and calm down. My dad walks in shortly after. "Mav you just missed your daughter whipping ass!" Hangman tells him. He gives me a 'What did you do face' while I sit at the bar and it causes me to laugh.

I see all of the boys and my dad huddle up talking. I look over at the girls and they have the same confused expression on their faces. They put a song on the jukebox. I don't really recognize it right away. They start to walk towards to me at the bar, Rooster the closest holding a microphone . He looks at me and smirks. What is he doing?

He holds the microphone up to his mouth. "You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips," I face palm when I realize he's doing exactly what my dad used to do to girls at the bar. "And there's tenderness like before on your fingertips." Hangman continues the verse.. I blush at his dorkiness.

"You're trying hard not to show it," Bradley sings as the other boys walk up behind him. I glance over to my dad who's laughing his ass off. "But, baby, baby, I know it." They all sing at the top of their lungs. "You've lost that lovin' feelin'," they continue to sing and all crowd around me. "Woah that lovin' feelin'. You've lost that lovin' feelin' , now it's gone, gone, gone, woah."

They start snapping and humming the best of the song. "Rooster sit down." I say motioning to the seat. The boys cheer. "Did you like it?" I laugh at him. "You learned that one from my dad, I see." He shook his head yes. I give him a kiss. He gets another beer from my mom. "That was awesome Roost." Riley says laughing.

~~~~~~

I take a couple more shots with the girls and now I'm feeling pretty good. "I'm tired Brad." I say yawning and laying my head on his shoulder. "Why don't we end the night on a good note?" He smiles at me. Mom unplugs the jukebox and everyone groans. But gather around the piano when they see Rooster sit down at it. I stand beside Phoenix
and the other girls.

Dum, dum, dum, dum. "You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain,"
Dum, dum, dum, dum. "Too much love drives a man insane."
"You broke my will, oh what a thrill."
"Goodness gracious great balls a fire."

Everyone singles along as Rooster plays. He motions for me to come sit on his lap. I walk over and do so.

"Kiss me baby!" He sings, and I give him a kiss. "Mmm that feels good."
"Hold me baby! I wanna love you like a lover should. You're so fine, so kind. Imma tell the world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine." I blush knowing he's singing it to me.

Shortly the song is over I'm still on his lap. "Hey Roost, ya big stud!" He smiles as I use his mothers favorite line, he gave me the okay to so do of course. "That's me honey!" He yells back. "Take me to bed or lose me forever!" "Show me the way home, honey!" He smiles and kisses me. He used to always love when I'd say that during Top Gun and the academy. He told me it always reminds him that he loves me as much as his dad loved his mom.

We tell our friends goodnight and they all head out. Violet got a ride with Riley back to my house to get her car. Everyone had left the bar but me, Bradley, and my parents. I help her clean up the place. "Sorry about the fight mom. I didn't mean to cause a scene." I say. "It was justified. Not a big deal" She laughs. Bradley sits at the bar with my dad, talking. After cleaning up a bit me and mom head over to the bar with the boys.
