Holding Out For A Hero

8. Heavy Metal Drummer

After dinner, we dropped the car off at Dave's and took a cab to where we were going to be doing karaoke. When we got there Abby and Taylor were outside so I got out and ran over to them while Dave paid the cab driver.

"Holy shit. Sorry babe but Britt you look great," Taylor said.

"Don't be sorry. Queen B is out in full swing tonight," Abby said and we high fived.

"Fuck ya she is and thank you Taylor. You both look amazing yourselves," I said as Dave joined us with a smoke already going.

"So what's everyone singing tonight?" he asked as he looked at us.

"I'm gonna do China Girl for sure," Taylor replied.

"I'm going to make him so Grease with me," Abby said as she leaned into Taylor and he kissed the top of her head.

"Babe?" Dave asked as he looked at me.

"I don't know. I don't really know if I want to," I said as Dave and Abby both put out their smokes.

"You guys go inside and get us a table. Girl talk for a minute," Abby said. The guys headed inside as we walked around the side of the building. I was digging through ym purse as we went.

"You are like my hero right now," I replied as I found what I was looking for and lit it.

"Just make sure you have your perfume so you don't smell too bad of it," Abby replied. I dugg aroudn for gum and my perfume, Curious by Britney Spears. We had been outside for a few minutes and where now both smoking a cigarette when Dave came around the side of the building.

"There you are. Taylor's putting you guys in for some songs. He says he knows you won't have a problem but Britt might," Dave said as he joined us. Thank god I had already sprayed the perfume and was working on the gum as we smoked.

"Why would I have a problem with it?" I asked.

"He thinks you don't know it and he wouldn't tell me what it was cause he knows I would have told you," Dave replied with a wink which made me blush.

"Oh this ones got some tricks up her sleeves. She knows songs and or artists that most people wouldn't think she would. I'm going in to my man. Wait til you get home for sex. I'm not bailing your asses out," Abby said as she put out her smoke and headed towards the front of the building. I went to follow but Dave stopped me.

"You smell different. What did you do?" Dave asked as he held my arm.

"A stoner never reveals her secret," I said with a smile.

"Should ahve known. Abby did tell us. Let's go in and get you a shot and a drink and up there to sing. I put one up for you too. Don't even try and back out of it. Oh and Taylor wants us all to do Baby Got Back," Dave said as I put my smoke out and we headed inside.

"What did you put up there for me to do?" I asked. He smirked and tucked his hair behind his ear.

"You'll see," he replied.

"I hate you and Taylor right now," I responded back with as we walked inside. We were at an actual karaoke bar. Back home you get karaoke for 4 hours in a normal bar one or two days a week, if your lucky.

"Up next I need Abby up here. She's going to tell us what she likes about you," the karaoke host said. I watched as Abby headed up on stage and started singing What I Like About You by The Romantics. We joined Taylor at the table where there were shots and drinks already waiting. It was gonna be a long night. I had told Dave no tequila or we'd be going home extremely early so I was more than happy to see jager.
