Cloudy
I was worried for Smoke, but over time, he calmed down and decided to forget the whole meeting. Smoke got to stay away from school for a few days so he can emotionally recover and I was allowed to stay with him for that time. I'm just glad that he's back to normal now, the same cool, respecting and caring wolf that I loved.
16th of July,2016
I walk through the mall with Smoke, our paws wrapping in each other as we stride past stores. "So, where's it you wanted to go?" Smoke asks, I turn, gave a cheeky smile and put my finger to my lips, indicating that I'm not going to say anything. He rolls his eyes and begins to get pulled along till we finally walk into a place, a karaoke place.
"Umm ... Cloudy, do we really-" he begins but I spin around and give him the saddest puppy eyes I could muster. Smoke sighs
"fine, but only because I can't handle the amount of cuteness that you give off when you do that" he chuckles.
We sit down at a table and watch a Rhino singing really badly on the stage (if that's what you wanna call it). I get up and turn to Smoke
"hey, I'll be back, don't move" I say with a smile, he looks confused as I walk up to the guy in charge of the music, my cousin.
"Cloudy? Damn, good to finally see you again" he says as we hug, he breaks it off and continues "so glad you can come to the grand opening" he adds, making me smile
"Thanks, Jack, can I make a 'special request' for me and my boyfriend?" I ask.
Jack gives a puzzled look until I point to Smoke
"he must be one lucky guy, what band and what song are you after?" He asks, I give a smile before I tell him. Jack gets the instrumental version of the song installed into his laptop before giving me a thumbs up, I give a nod and walk back up to Smoke.
"What did you get up to?" Smoke asks before I pull him up
"wha- what's going on?" He asks with confusion as I push him into the stage
"umm, Cloudy, I uh-" he tries to say something but Jack throws a microphone up to me and I pass it over to Smoke.
He grabs it and looks out to the crowd
"Cloudy, please, don't make me-" I stop him before he can say anymore
"Smoke, not once have you properly sung around me, so now, your going to sing with me" I cheekily say
"but I don't even know what song we're singing" he tries to explain but I just shoot him a playful wink
"you'll know all the words to this song, I know you will, just relax and sing" I say.
I give Jack a nod and he gets a microphone of his own to make an announcement
"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the beautiful couple, Smoke and Cloudy doing a duet of a very special request" he announces before handing his microphone to me and going to start the music. Smoke's face quickly jumps to show realisation after hearing the tune, smiling at me before calming himself and waiting for the time to sing.
[oh yeah, if you haven't figured it, Now's time to play the song up the top]
After the song
Smoke
I open my eyes and look out to the crowd, they all sit and stare in silence. I start to frown, thinking that no one enjoyed it, until, moments later, someone starts to clap and then another person and eventually, the whole place starts clapping and cheering for our performance. I immediately give off a massive smile before looking to Cloudy as she runs up and hugs me
"you were amazing" she says
"and you were beautiful" I say before receiving a massive kiss.
We break the hug and take a massive bow to the crowd. We walk off the stage and the DJ walks up to us
"guys, that was perfect, and most these people don't even know the song and they still loved you guys" he says, giving Cloudy a hug. he breaks it and approaches me before shaking my paw "Jackson Rivers, Cloudy's cousin and owner of the place" he says
"Smoke Greypaw" I introduce myself.
The natural coloured Australian sheepdog takes a step back and examines me
"damn, you look good" he says, I blush a little and give a nervous laugh until Cloudy punches his shoulder
"hey, he's MY boyfriend, besides, he isn't like that" she laughs and Jack just drops his ears
"damn shame, you're pretty cute, well, anyway, I gotta get back to work, thanks guys for comin to my grand opening, I really appreciate it" Jack says as he takes the microphones and begins taking a couple steps backward towards his booth before he spins around, gives me a quick wink and then laughs as he walks into the compact area.
I stand confused for a second until I lightly hit Cloudy in the arm
"never do that again" I chuckle, she looks at me laughing
"sing in front of me and maybe I won't need to" she says "at least Jack liked you" she adds
"Maybe a little too much" I say before getting punched in the arm
"alright, we can go now" she says as she grabs my paw and drags me along. On our way out, everyone compliments us and says how much they loved our singing.
"See, you weren't so bad, and I think that you have a very hot singing voice" Cloudy says, I looked at her with an eyebrow raised
"well well, Cloudy Adams, are you trying to be flirty" I ask and we both laugh as we walked in the direction of the food court to get some lunch, before we reach it, I quickly add
"Also, you have the voice of an angel", making her cuddle up to me as we walk.
