Bridget:  Karaoke


The DJ cheered through speakers “Party people in tha house. Yooooohooooo. It seems like we have our first victims of the night. Everybody let’s give it up for ABBAaaaah”. The whole yard cheered and screamed loud. It sounded like a typical BSB concert. We quickly walked up to the dance section, where it was already very crowded. To make the Karaoke more fun there was a box full of different kinds of wigs. The roll of drums announced that the show was about to start. AJ, Howie, Lauren and Leighanne, all wearing a different kind of wig, walked up to the microphones and took their places. Suddenly the music of ABBA’s Take A Chance On Me started playing. The four of them started dancing on the rhythm of the music.


Abba - Take a chance on me

(all four)
If you change your mind ('take a chance' chanted (AJ and Howie) )
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be AROUND
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down


Brian rushed towards me and Nick and embraced us as we danced. We play backed this and did some overly dramatic moves. We danced in seventies style.
(Leighanne and Lauren)
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have FLOWN
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try


I lip-synched the words looking at Brian.

Take a chance on me
(That's all I ask of you, honey (Leighanne))
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing (Leighanne)
We can go walking (Leighanne)
AS LONG AS WE'RE together (Lauren)
Listen to some music (Lauren)
Maybe just talking (Lauren)
Get to know you better (Lauren)


Brian and Nick both lip – synched the words to me being all goofy. Aaron joined the mix by lip – synching the next line;

'Cuz you know I've got (Leighanne)
So much that I wanna do (Leighanne)
When I dream I'm alone with you (Leighanne)
It's MAGIC (Lauren and Leighanne)
You want ME to leave IT there (Lauren)
Afraid of a love AFFAIR (Lauren)
BUT I think you know (both)
That I can't let go (both)


We danced, goofed around and sang along.

(all four)
If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know
And I'll be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

We all lip – synched to each other and went banana’s (keep in mind we all had a little too much to drink, lol)
(all four)
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have FLOWN
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gotta do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test,
If you let me try

(Leighanne)
Take a chance on me
(Come on, gimme a break, will ya?)
Take a chance on me


Aaron placed his hands on my hips and we did a dirty dance. Nick looked quasi shocked and gave us funny faces. He then turned around to Lauren and gave her an air kiss, which she caught perfectly. She had to fight hard not to burst into laughter.

(Lauren)
Oh you can take your time, baby
I'm in no hurry
You know I'm gonna getcha (Getcha)
You don't wanna hurt me
Baby don't worry
I AIN'T GONNA LET YA (all four)


Leighanne could easily be Agnetha, the way she danced she imitated her perfectly.
(Leighanne)
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough
It's MAGIC
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
Oh I can't let go (both)
'Cuz I love you so (both)


By this time AJ, Howie and Lauren and Leighanne all danced ABBA like behind their microphones.
(all four)
If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know
And I'll be AROUND
If you got no place to go
When you're feeling down

(all four)
If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have FLOWN
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

(all four)
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gotta do my very best
Baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me

Me, Brian, Aaron and Nick jumped, arm in arm, on the rhythm of the music. I laughed. Oh my God, the fans really should see this side of my guys. I bet they would go nuts, haha.

(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me (Lauren))

Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba
[Fading]Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see..

The crowd, including us of course, cheered and clapped for them. I don’t think ABBA would’ve done a better job. As soon as the music stopped a couple of others did a song. Me and Aaron rushed through the tables with the songbooks and quickly started looking for a good song. As we flipped through the pages we found a really good song. Aaron looked at me and hesitated. “Are you sure you can pull it off?” he asked. “Of course” I said “trust me”. We filled in our form and within five minutes we were called to start Karaoke Adventure. We took our places on the dance floor. I chuckled. Aaron didn’t knew this but I have been singing all my life. Only, I never let anyone listen to my singing. Except for tonight. The music started playing. Lauren, Leighanne and the rest of our beloved group cheered for us ‘’Wooohooooooo”.


TINA TURNER FEAT. DAVID BOWIE TONIGHT LYRICS


Everythings gonna be alright tonight (Me)
Everythings gonna be alright tonight
No one moves, no one grooves
No one talks, no one walks tonight
Tonight


I heard people cheering and screaming because I was able to reach Tina’s high notes, easily. I swayed my arms and the crowd copied it.

Everyone will be alright tonight (Aaron)
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

(Aaron and me, singing and dancing arm in arm)
I will love you till I reach the end
I will love you till I reach the end
I will love you till I die (still dancing and looking at each other)
I will see you in the sky
Tonight, tonight

During the instrumental part me and Aaron did a sensual slow dance together. The people went nuts.


(both singing looking each other in the eyes while holding each other)
Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

 The music slowly died and I nearly went deaf of the noise we got from the crowd. This felt so awesome. Aaron give me a big tight hug and kissed me full on my mouth. “Wow, sweetie. That was amazing. You and I should record a song together” he cheered and looked at me with his beautiful eyes. I got shy. It felt weird that people where enthusiastic about my singing. “Wow girl, you rocked the stage out there” Brian cheered. “Really, that was amazing Bridget” AJ yelled over the loud music “It’s a shame not to use that voice of yours” he said. Lauren gave me a hug “That was great sweetie” she said. I blushed big time. Aaron stood behind me and wrapped his arms around me. We danced to Country Road from John Denver. After a couple of songs it was Nick and Brian’s turn to rock the stage.  They got up with wigs and I already had an idea of which song they’d where about to do. The music of Just Want You To Know started playing. They rocked it. On the half of the song AJ, Howie and Kevin stepped in also (also wearing wigs) and we got a live remake of their video. Lauren, Leighanne, Kristen, Rochelle, Aaron and I had a blast. These guys where amazing.


While watching the other Karaoke contestants, I felt two warm hands sensually caressing my butt. I definitely got turned on by it. “Come with me” Aaron whispered in my ear and slowly kissed the back of my neck. I turned towards him “to do what?” I asked and gave him my seductive look. He grinned “are you seducing me?”. “Is it working?”I asked seductively and licked my lips. By the look he gave me I knew it was working. His hand grabbed mine and he softly pulled me so that I’d followed him. I giggled and felt the butterflies racing through my stomach. Was I ready for what was about to happen? Perhaps it was time to let love back into my life again. We walked inside the empty house. Me being alone with him turned me on even more. In the living room Aaron turned around towards me and wrapped his arms around me. His lascivious look made me crazy. I couldn’t control myself any longer. I gave him a sensual kiss and he answered back with the same intensity. He guided me backwards to the couch and he laid me down. He gently got on top of me and kissed me erotically and a soft moan escaped from my mouth. I craved to feel him inside me. His hands slid under my t-shirt and a second or two later under my bra. I moaned again, while we continued our mind-blowing kiss. His warm hands slowly caressed my breasts and nipples. God, my nipples were so sensitive by his touch. He stopped kissing for a second and looked at me with glazed, horny, eyes. I probably returned that look because I never had been that turned on before in my life. I softly bit my under lip and stared at him. I went through his blond hair with my hands. “I want you” I sighted.


Suddenly we heard footsteps coming closer. We quickly sat up straight and tried to look as descent as possible and made an attempt to improvise a conversation. AJ stepped inside and saw us sitting, on the couch, in the dark. He chuckled “Hey you two, the party is outside”. “Yeah, we know. We wanted to rest a little” Aaron answered. “Ah, is that how they call it, nowadays” AJ grinned. I was so happy that there was no light. My face turned as red as a tomato at that point. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” Aaron mumbled. “Nah, I don’t know either” AJ pretended to agree. He grabbed his box of cigarettes from the table. “Make sure you’re doing it safe, okay?” AJ said and walked outside. “Pooh, that was close” Aaron sighted after AJ was out of sight.


We were alone again. I kissed him and the butterflies raced through my stomach. Aaron got up from the couch, took my hand and helped me to stand up. I was half drunk and couldn’t walk straight anymore. Aaron laughed “you’re so sweet when you’re drunk”. I giggled. He guided me to the hall way with his hands on my hips, kissing my neck. He closed the door of the living room behind me and he positioned me against the wall. He stood close beside me, with his body against mine. “I want you so bad” he whispered. His lips touched mines and his hands caressed my upper body, over my t-shirt. I felt my knees getting week. His tongue slid inside my mouth and a very intense kiss followed. I could feel his manhood rise against my legs. He groaned softly. I worked my hands down to his hips and lowered even more to softly caress his manhood. His manhood grew even bigger. “God, you’re so…” he sighed “I want you, NOW”. He picked me up with his strong arms and walked up the stairs. He carried me over the corridor, into his guestroom and softly laid me down on his bed. I felt safe with him. He positioned himself on top of me. “Are you sure?” he spoke softly. “Yes” I answered. He removed my clothes and there I was, with only my underwear on.
