Three hours later……

Dinner was delicious and the guys are having a great time.

I can tell she was shocked when I put on my playlist.

Of course, there was other songs on there, but the overall theme was obvious and that I made it with her in mind.

How could I not she’s beautiful and so sweet.

I watch her laugh at something Jackson said and I am momentarily distracted by .

Pearly white perfect teeth peek through her full pouty lips that are painted in a gorgeous red color that is causing my heart to palpitate all over my chest.

I am staring unabashed and could care less.

I am sure I look like a total ert, but I can’t help it I want to be with her.

She catches me staring and blushes prettily.

Her sister follows her gaze to me and smirks leaning in close and whispering in her ear.

She turns even redder if that is possible and I am dying to know what she said to her.

She leans over and says something to Paris who looks my way with raised eyebrows.

She stands and clears .

“Hey so Lysette and I were thinking karaoke? What do y’all think?”

“Sure, that sounds like fun.” I say and she winks at me.

Ok now I know they have ulterior motives.

I lean back on the couch and grin wondering what these two are up to.

“Okay Wynnie is going first because this is her house, and I will choose the song because I am a guest.”

“What wait? Why I got to go first and who made that rule? And you ain’t no guest you walk right in my kitchen go to the fridge and eat all my food like you pay bills up in here.” Wynnie says and everyone laughs.

Paris rolls her eyes dramatically.

“A mere technicality I am still a guest so stop stalling and get chere right nah!”

“No, I will stay where I am just give me the mic.”

“If you don’t get your scary tail up here, you know what never mind you actually said hand you the mic let me give it to you before you change your mind and run away.” Paris says.

“Man, whatever just give me the mic and start so I can relax you making my nerves bad!”

“You should sit next to JB he looks lonely.” Lysette says getting up and moving to sit by Jinyoung who smiles at her shyly.

Oh, Oh what’s going on there? I grin at him, and he shrugs.

“Hurry up Wynnie you’re holding up the game now.”

I look at her she smiles nervously but gets up and sits next to me.

Immediately I am consumed with her scent.

It’s floral and smells divine, she smells divine, and I want to lean into her neck and just inhale.

I must have been staring because when I look up I see her startled expression...

I smile sheepishly and look at Paris who says something I didn’t hear.

“What was that?” I ask.

She kisses her teeth “If you would stop staring at Wynston long enough maybe you could hear what I am saying.” She sasses.

Everyone snickers at me being caught and now it’s my turn-to-turn bright red.

Wynston chokes on her water Lysette taps her gently on the back.

“You alright sis?” She asks smiling so big it looks like her face will crack.

‘I’m good, I’m ok.” Wyston says.

“Anyhoo.” She says handing Wynston the mic.

“I picked a song you can sing in your sleep so do me proud sis.”

“I’ll try.” She smirks.

She has a death grip on the mic and her hands are shaking slightly.

The music to Beyonce’s 1+1 begins to play and I smile.

I love this song.

She takes some deep breaths closes her eyes and begins singing.

 

“1+1”

Beyonce

 

If I ain't got nothing

I got you

If I ain't got something

I don't give a damn 'cause I got it with you

 

I don't know much about algebra

But I know one plus one equals two

And it's me and you

That's all we'll have

When the world is through

 

'Cause, baby, we ain't got nothing without love

Darling, you got enough for the both of us

So, come on, baby

 

Make love to me

When my days look low

Pull me in close and don't let me go

Make love to me

So when the world's at war

Let our love heal us all right now, baby

 

Make love to me, me, me, me, me, oh, oh

Make love to me

 

Hey, I don't know much about guns

But I—I've been shot by you, hey

And I don't know when I'm gon' die

But I hope that I'm gon' die by you, hey

 

I don't know much about fighting

But I—I know I will fight for you, hey

Just when I ball up my fist I realize

I'm laying right next to you

 

Baby, we ain't got nothing but love

And, darling, you got enough for the both of us

 

Make love to me

When my days look low

Pull me in close and don't let me go

Make love to me

So when the world's at war

Let our love heal us all

Help me let down my guard

 

Make love to me, me, me, me, me, oh, oh

Make love to me, me, me, me, me

 

The music comes to a close and she falls back on the couch taking a deep breath.

I am stunned, utterly speechless I had no idea what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting that!

How does she sound better singing the song than the artist who made it!

I look around at everyone’s faces and the guys must feel the same as me because all their mouths are hanging open in complete shock.

“I told y
