Sounds like it will be an interesting Karaoke night for sure. I love having Doc Baker back and Marco, well yummm!

I cannot wait to see Alex's reaction to Dell actually being Lucas.

Looking forward to karaoke night.

CHAPTER 15: KARAOKE NIGHT

A nurse walks up to Maxine and hands her two cell phones. “Maxine, I found these two cell phones in some patient’s rooms. This one is Dr. Horton’s I know because I tried calling him and that’s how I found it. I’m not sure who’s this is, but I found it in room 111.” The nurse says. “Oh yeah 111 that was Chloe Lane’s room. It might be hers. I’m going to put them in these draws.” Maxine says. She takes the phones and put them in the drawers.

Bo’s on the phone with the station when Carly walks in. “Hey Bo.” Carly says. “Thanks. I’ll check in later.” Bo says to the person on the phone. Carly and Bo meet up and kiss. “So how was your day?” Carly asks. “It was good. You?” Bo says. “Great, but better now that I’m home with you.” Carly says. They kiss again just has Hope walks in. Bo sees her. Carly turns around. Hope looks away.

Nathan comes off the elevator at the hospital and walks up to the nurse’s station. Maxine’s standing there. “Dr. Horton, I thought you were going to karaoke night?” She asks. “I am I just lost my phone, have you seen it? I looked everywhere.” Nathan asks. “Oh yes there was a phone recovered from room 112 a little while ago.” Maxine says. She goes into the draw and pulls out a phone. “Oh yes that’s it. Thank you Maxine.” He says then gets on the elevator. Daniel and Chloe walk down the hall of the hospital. “I know I left it here. It’s the last time that I saw it.” Chloe says. “Well I’m sure it’s here. Let’s ask Maxine.” Daniel suggests. “Hey Maxine.” Daniel says. “Hey Dr. Jonas, Chloe.” Maxine responds. “Hey Maxine, did anyone find a phone? I lost mine when I was staying here.” Chloe says. “Yeah there was one left in your room 111.” She says. She goes in a drawer and pulls out a phone and hands it to Chloe. “Thank you so much Maxine.” Chloe smiles. “You’re welcome and congratulations.” Maxine answers. “See Maxine saves the day again. So are you ready for karaoke night?” Daniel asks. “Yeah let’s go.” Chloe says. They head to the elevator.

Rafe checks himself out in the mirror as Sami sits on the couch on the phone with Lucas. “No Lucas you cannot wear a suit wear something normal its karaoke not a business meeting. What do you not own something normal?” Sami argues. Rafe looks over at Sami. “The what? Oh my gosh no not that….you still have that shirt. Don’t you dare wear it I swear Lucas Horton.” Rafe walks over and takes the phone from her. “Wear it, later.” Rafe says. “What? Why did you do that?” Sami asks. “Because I want to leave.” Rafe says. “Rafe Lucas needs serious help. I don’t want him to look like a fool on his first date.” Sami says. “Is the shirt really that bad?” Rafe asks. “Yes it is. It’s horrible. It makes me gag every time I see it.” Sami says. “Just let nature take its course.” Rafe says. “Fine.” Sami says. Rafe helps Sami off the couch. They head to the door. “But if nature screws this up.” Sami says. They walk out the door.

Melanie and Philip arrive at Cheatin’ Heart for karaoke night. “I guess we’re the first one’s here.” Melanie says. “Looks like it.” Philip says. “I’ll get us a table.” Melanie says. “Okay. I’ll get us some drinks.” Philip says. “Okay.” Melanie smiles. Philip walks up to the bar. “A beer and a cola.” He orders. He pulls out his phone and dials Chloe, but she does not answer. “Hey Chloe its Philip. We need to talk alone when you guys get here.” Philip says on her voicemail. The bartender gives Philip the drinks. Stephanie and Nathan walk in. “I’ll get us some drinks.” Nathan says. “Okay.” Stephanie says. Stephanie stops when she sees Melanie at a table playing on her phone. Melanie looks up at her. Nathan walks over to the bar. “Two beers please.” Nathan orders. Nathan’s phone beeps. Philip walks away with the drinks. Nathan looks at his phone and notices he has a voicemail from Philip. “Why do I have a voicemail from Philip?” Nathan asks himself.

EJ and Nicole walk back to Java. “Do you really think Baker would be here?” EJ asks her. “No, but I want a cookie.” Nicole says. She walks inside. EJ follows her. He catches up to her and pulls her arm. “You need to focus.” EJ whispers in her ear. Brady walks up behind them and pulls EJ away from Nicole. “Get your hands off of her.” He yells. Nicole smiles a little.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.” Hope says. “It’s fine. What’s up?” Bo asks. “I’ll leave you two alone.” Carly says. “No, its fine Carly you can stay this won’t take long.” Hope says. “What’s going on?” Bo questions. “Nothing at all. I just needed to get Ciara’s books she left here.” Hope says. Bo looks on the table. “Oh yeah these. I was going to run them over, but got swamped.” Bo says. He picks up the books and walks them over to Hope. “Thank you.” Hope says then leaves.

Alex walks into Cheatin’ Heart. She goes over to the pool table and picks up a stick. Lucas walks in and over to her. “Hey Alex.” He says. She turns around. “Ugh are you stalking me or something?” She asks. “No I have a date tonight.” He says. “That poor woman. What has she ever done wrong in her life?” She jokes. Sami and Rafe walk in. “It looks like our dates beat us here.” Rafe says. They watch Alex and Lucas talk. “Aww….it looks like they’re flirighting again.” Sami jokes they walk over. “Get lost before Dell gets here.” Alex says to Lucas. “Hey guys.” Sami says. “Sami, Rafe hey.” Lucas says. “Hey guys so where’s Dell?” Alex asks. “Yeah were could he be?” Rafe jokes looking around. “Yeah Sami tell her where Dell is.” Lucas says. “I told you a little fib Alex.” Sami says. “What kind of fib Sami?” Alex asks getting a little mad. “Dell isn’t real. I mean he’s real, but his name’s not Dell its Lucas.” Sami says. “Lucas as in this Lucas right here?” Alex asks pointing the stick at Lucas. Lucas backs up a little. “Yes this Lucas, but he’s a really great guy. He is the one that I described to you and you liked. You just need to get to know him.” Sami explains. “I’m out of here.” Alex says. She drops the stick and heads for the door. Lucas goes after her. “Still think this was a good idea?” Rafe asks Sami. Sami punches him in the arm. “Wait stop.” Lucas shouts as they make their way outside. “Why? What part of I’m not interested in you do you not get? Now you sent your ex-wife to hook up us up.” Alex yells. “I didn’t tell Sami to do anything. She did it all on her own. I just went with it.” Lucas says. “Why don’t I believe you?” Alex asks. “Because you want to believe the worst in me so you can make it easier for you to walk away.” Lucas says. “Oh yeah right.” Alex says. She starts to walk away. “Come on we had fun at the gym.” Lucas says. She stops and turns around. “Just stay for a little while. Play some pool. I’ll even pay for drinks?” Lucas offers. Alex thinks for a few seconds. “At least humor Sami for a little bit.” Lucas says. “Okay fine. One game and that’s it.” Alex says. “Okay then.” Lucas smiles. They walk back into Cheatin’ Heart.


“What’s your problem? I wasn’t doing anything to Nicole.” EJ says. “I saw you grab her.” Brady shouts. “Brady calm down its fine.” Nicole says. “No it’s not fine. You don’t have to take his abuse.” Brady tells her. Mia walks in and watches. “EJ wasn’t abusing me Brady. Just calm down.” Nicole says. Brady walks up to her and puts his hands on her shoulders. “I’m not going to let EJ hurt you.” He says. “Oh like she really needs protection from me.” EJ says. Arianna walks in as Brady hugs Nicole. She gets upset. Mia notices.

At Cheatin’ Heart Nathan checks Philip’s message. “Hey Chloe its Philip. We need to talk alone when you guys get here.” It said. Nathan looks over at Philip with Melanie, Daniel and Chloe who just came in. He puts the phone in his pants pocket then picks up his and Stephanie’s drinks. He turns around and Stephanie’s right behind him. “Hey I was worried about you.” Stephanie says. Nathan hands her drink to her. “Just some hospital business I had to take care of.” Nathan tells her. “No hospital business. This is supposed to be fun tonight.” Stephanie reminds him. “Okay it’s over and done with. Here’s to a fun night of karaoke.” Nathan says as he raises his bottle. “Here here.” Stephanie says as the clink glasses and takes a sip. Adrienne gets on the mic. “Attention everyone.” She starts. Everyone looks at her. “Welcome to Cheatin’ Heart’s first ever karaoke night.” She shouts. Everyone claps and cheers. “It’s time to sign up. The show’s about to start.” She says then walks off. “Ooh we should do a duet.” Stephanie says. “That would be a blast. You can even pick the song.” Nathan tells her. “Okay be right back.” Stephanie says. She walks towards the stage. Nathan takes out the phone and looks through it.

“I know the perfect songs we can do Chloe. I’m going to put our name on the list.” Melanie says excitedly. She skips to the stage. “I’m going to get a beer. I’ll get you a water?” Daniel announces. Daniel walks to the bar. “I’ll get you a water?” Philip asks. “Yeah for the baby that I’m carrying that might be yours.” Chloe reminds him. “I haven’t forgotten. That’s why I left you the voicemail to meet up privately.” Philip says. “What voicemail?” Chloe asks. “You didn’t check your message? I left it a few minutes before you guys came in.” Philip says. Chloe takes out her phone. “There’s no message.” Chloe says. What? I left one.” Philip says. “Wait, this isn’t my phone.” Chloe says. The phone starts to ring. Chloe’s name pops up on the screen. “This person must have your phone.” Philip says. Chloe answers it. “Hello?” “Chloe?” Nathan asks. “Nathan?” Chloe asks. They turn to look at each other. He sees Philip standing right next to her. He hangs up. Chloe hangs up. Chloe and Philip stare at each other.

“I’m glad you decided to stick around Alex.” Sami says. “Well I get a free drink out of it so why not?” Alex jokes. “Drinks are on me, 3 beers coming up.” Lucas says. He goes to the bar. “3? What does he’s not drink or something?” Alex asks Sami. “Um…not tonight I guess.” Sami covers. “Okay well do you guys want to play pool?” Alex asks. “Sure.” Rafe says. Lucas comes back with the beers and a bottle of water for him. “Here’s your beer.” Lucas says. “Thanks.” They all say. “We’re going to play pool? How about on teams?” Lucas asks. “No we’re just going to sit and talk. You two have fun.” Sami says. Sami and Rafe walk over to a nearby table. “I think they want us to be alone. Or they want to be alone or both.” Alex says. “That’s good. So we can do like what we did at the gym.” Lucas says. “You want to race again?” Alex questions. “No we can challenge each other again. Raise the stakes.” Lucas says. “Okay if I win you have to sing hmm….ooh I got a good one. I’m too sexy on the bar and strip down to barely anything.” Alex says. Lucas laughs. “Alright if I win then you will have to sing hmm…ooh I got a good one you will have to sing I’m a little tea pot.” Lucas says. “What?” Alex asks. “It’s Allie’s favorite song. And you have to do it on the bar and all the moves.” Lucas says. “Okay. You’re one.” Alex says. “And you will have to go out with me again.” Lucas asks. “You can’t add on.” Alex says. “We’ll if you’re too chicken…” Lucas starts. “Okay, I’ll do it.” Alex says.

CHAPTER 16: GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

Hope walks into the Kiriakis mansion and pours herself a cup of water. She pulls out a sleeping pill. She washes it down with the water. Justin walks in. “Hey Hope.” He startles Stephanie. “Justin, you scared me.” She says. “I’m sorry, didn’t mean to.” He says. “It’s alright.” Hope says. She pours some more water. “Hey I was wondering if you want to go to Cheatin’ Heart tonight. It’s karaoke night.” He asks. “Maybe some otStephanie night. I’m tired. I’m going to bed.” Hope says as she walks upstairs. “Goodnight.” Justin says. He wonders what’s up with Hope.

Nathan walks over to Chloe and Philip. “I think this is yours.” He says to Chloe as he hands Stephanie the phone. “Thanks Nathan and this is yours.” She says handing Nathan the phone. Daniel walks over. “Stephaniee’s your water Chloe. Hey Nathan.” Daniel says. Chloe takes Stephanie water bottle. “Hey Dr. Jonas.” Nathan says. They shake hands. “Call me Daniel.” Daniel says. “Will do Daniel. So are you guys going to sing something tonight?” Nathan asks. “Melanie wants us to sing something. Not sure what, but we’re going to have fun.” Daniel says. “Well I can’t wait to hear your voice Chloe.” Nathan says. He walks away.

Melanie and Stephanie are at the stage picking out songs. They both pick the same song. “Girls just wanna have fun. Chloe and I can sing it.” Melanie says. “I picked that one out.” Stephanie says. “And are you going to sing it alone?” Melanie asks. “Well maybe.” Stephanie. “Hey why don’t you sing it with us?” Melanie offers. “Sure why not.” Stephanie says. “Cool I’ll tell Chloe.” Melanie says. She goes back to Stephanie table. Nathan walks up to Stephanie. “So what are we going to sing?” He asks. “This song.” She shows Nathan the song. “Awesome can’t wait.” Nathan says with a smile. “Great because we’re up first.” Stephanie says. “Let’s do it!” Nathan claps his hands in the air.

Sami and Rafe watch Lucas and Alex play pool. “Are we just going to watch them play pool?” Rafe asks. “No we’re drinking beers too.” Sami laughs. “Haha.” Rafe jokes. Rafe looks at the stage. “I’ll be back.” Rafe says. “Get me anotStephanie beer.” Sami says. She continues to watch Lucas and Alex. “Alex, you’re not doing a good job at this game.” Lucas says. “Well if I had a chance to play I would be moping the floor with your head.” Alex says. “You’re going to have to show me that move later, but right now I’m trying to bet you.” Lucas says. He gets set up for another Stephanie hit. Just as he is about to hit the ball, Alex sneezes loud. The Lucas hits the ball and it goes off the table and towards Sami. “Hey Sami yells.” Alex laughs.

Adrienne gets on mic. “Already guys it’s time for our first act.” Adrienne says. Everyone cheers. Rafe gets back to his seat with more beers. “Give it up for Stephanie and Nathan.” Everyone claps. The music starts. Stephanie sings first:

STEPHANIE: They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
NATHAN: Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
NATHAN: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
STEPHANIE: They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
NATHAN: I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
NATHAN: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
NATHAN: I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
STEPHANIE: And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
STEPHANIE: Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
NATHAN: Then put your little hand in mine
Stephaniee ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
NATHAN: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
NATHAN: I got you to hold my hand
STEPHANIE: I got you to understand
NATHAN: I got you to walk with me
STEPHANIE: I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Everybody cheers for them. They walk off the stage.

“It’s your turn Chloe.” Melanie tells her. “What me?” Chloe says pointing to herself. “Go, go!” Melanie gives Chloe a little push. “Go Chloe!” Daniel yells. Chloe walks on stage. Adrienne hands her the mic. “Give it up for Chloe!” Adrienne says. Everyone claps. The music starts Chloe freezes. She and Philip stare at one another.

Hope’s laying down asleep. She opens her eyes and gets out of bed. She heads to her closet and pulls out her black outfit. “It’s time to have some fun.” She says.

Chloe takes a deep breath and begins to sing:

I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how you are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause you’ve brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you


Everyone cheers. Chloe smiles. She looks over at Philip he’s smiling and clapping. Chloe walks off stage. Daniel rushes over to her. “That was amazing Chloe.” Daniel says. They kiss. Melanie and Philip walk up. “I hope you’re ready to do another one.” Melanie tells her. “Of course.” Chloe says with a smile. “What made you pick that song for Chloe to sing?” Philip asks Melanie. “Oh I saw that Chloe had cd. Yeah I was snooping. Sorry. I thought it was her and Daniel’s song.” Melanie admits. “Well it’s not our song, but it can be.” Daniel says. “Um…no..um we don’t need a song.” Chloe shutters. “Oh come on Philip, shouldn’t that be their song?” Melanie asks Philip. “That’s up to them.” Philip says. “Well we lasted this long without a song. Don’t need one.” Daniel says. He kisses Chloe again. Melanie hugs Nathan. Nathan watches.

“Wow she was great.” Alex says. “That’s my ex-wife.” Lucas points out. “Ouch must be hard to look at her with that other guy.” Alex says. “Nope it doesn’t. I’m over Chloe. Plus they’re not going to last long.” Lucas says. “What makes you say that?” Alex asks. “Chloe can’t keep a stable relationship for too long before she runs off with some other guy. She’s going to break Daniel’s heart and when she does. I’m going to have a party. I would love to see him suffer.” Lucas says. “And this is from the guy that’s over it all.” Alex points out. “Let’s just get back to me beating you.” Lucas says. They get back to their pool game. Nathan overhears.

Hope sits at her desk applying her lipstick in her pocket mirror. She puts them down then picks up her cell and dials Baker. He’s on the pier. He answers his phone “Hello.” “Baker, good you’re not in anymore trouble.” Hope says. “Hope. Nope not tonight. What’s going on?” Baker says. “It’s time to take care of Mr. and Mrs. DiMera.” Hope says. “Kate and Stefano?” Baker asks. “No silly EJ and Nicole.” Hope reminds him. “Alright I’m on the pier.” Baker says. “I’ll be there in 10.” Hope hangs up and leaves the room.

“Aren’t they just cute together?” Sami asks Rafe. “Yeah cute just like us.” Rafe points out. “I’m glad they’re on their little date.” Sami says. “Yeah and they’re the only one’s having fun.” Rafe says. “We’re having fun aren’t we?” she questions. “Yeah it’s fun watching other’s have fun.” He says. “Well what do you want to do that’s so fun?” Sami asks. Rafe smiles at Sami then takes another sip of beer.

“Ooh I’m whipping you.” Alex says after pocketing another ball. “I’m still ahead.” Lucas reminds her. “Not for long. The game is almost over and if I can finish clearing this table, you will have to sing and strip.” Alex reminds him. She lines up for the shot. Lucas yells. “Oh my gosh look!” Alex hits the ball and it bounces off the table and almost hits Rafe. “Hey now keep your balls on the table.” He laughs. Lucas laughs the loudest. “Looks like I won. Time for the I’m a little tea pot song. Alex gives him the evil eye.

Adrienne gets on the mic. “Alright we have another love song coming up.” She announces. “Give it up for Agent Hernadez!” everyone claps and cheers. Sami is shockeds as Rafe heads to the mic. “Thank you, thank you very much.” Rafe says. Everyone laughs. “This one is for a very special lady in the audience tonight.” Rafe adds. “He better be talking about me.” Sami says to herself. “Yeah I’m talking about you Sami Brady.” Rafe says. She laughs and smiles. The music starts.

(Whispered) Let me be your hero Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying (Sami tears up)
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these (Sami laughs)
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?

(Chorus)
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus

I just want to hold you (2x)
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight

Chorus (2x)

You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero



Before Rafe could finish the song Sami rushes on stage and kisses him passionately. Everyone claps and cheers. They stop kissing and Sami grabs the mic. “That’s my man!” She says. Everyone laughs. They kiss again then walk off stage.

Baker is waiting on the pier when Hope walks up behind him. “Baker.” She says. He turns around. “Hey Hope.” He says. “So are you ready?” she asks. “Yep so how are we going to do this?” Baker asks. “I’m goning after EJ he won’t see me coming like before and you Nicole because she likes you. Don’t see what you see in her though. She makes you do illegal things.” Hope smirks. Baker smiles back.

“I’m going to put your name and song on the list then I’ll be back and we can talk about our next date.” Lucas says. “Can you bring some more beer please?” Alex asks. Lucas laughs.

Sami has her arms wrapped around the back of Rafe’s neck as the dance a little to no music. “I can’t believe that you just serenaded me. I bet all the women are so jealous right now of my Agent Heartbreaker. I’m such a lucky woman.” Sami says as they kiss again.

“Okay are you guys ready to do our number?” Stephanie asks Melanie and Chloe. “Yep let’s do it.” Chloe says. “Yay!” Melanie claps. They make their way to the stage. Daniel, Philip, and Nathan sit together with their beers.

“Alright guys get ready for a triple threat. Give it up for Chloe, Melanie, and Stephanie!!” Adrienne yells. Everyone claps and cheers.

Stephanie: I come home in the morning light
my mother says when you gonna live your life right
oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
Chloe: and girls they wanna have fun
oh girls just wanna have funMelanie: the phone rings in the middle of the night

Everyone stands up, claps, and cheers. Nathan whistles. Melanie bows. They walk off stage. “Lucas!” Melanie says. “Hey Mel.” Lucas says. “Who’s the pretty lady?” Melanie asks. “This is Alex. Alex this is my sister-in-law Melanie.” Lucas introduces. They shake hands. “Nice to meet you Melanie.” Alex says. “Likewise. So you guys are dating now?” Melanie asks. “Melanie what are you doing?” Philip asks. “Philip this is Alex Lucas’s date.” Melanie says with a smile. “Date really?” Philip asks. “Alex this is my little brother Philip.” Lucas introduces. “Philip as in Philip Kiriakis?” Alex asks. “Yep that’s me.” Philip says. “And I’m Mrs. Kiriakis.” Melanie jokes. “I have a meeting with your cousin Justin tomorrow.” Alex says. “Wow what a small world.” Philip smiles. “Yep and it just keeps getting smaller.” Lucas says as he looks over at Daniel and Chloe.

Nathan looks over at Melanie, Philip, Lucas, and Alex. Stephanie walks up. “I can’t believe I had that much fun with Melanie.” Stephanie says. “Me neither. You guys were great. You guys should be your own girl group. The Pussycat Dolls better watch out.” Nathan says. “Why were you looking at Melanie and Philip?” Stephanie asks. “I’m just wondering who that woman is playing pool with Lucas. That’s all” Nathan says. “No I mean earlier when Philip was with Chloe and you ever walked over to them.” Stephanie says. “I’m just worried about and the baby. She’s my patient and Daniel’s a great friend I’m just worried about the baby.” Nathan covers. “Okay, but you could just give that up for one night right?” Stephanie asks. “I am. This is fun I’m loving this.” Nathan says. Stephanie lays her head on Nathan’s shoulder. Nathan turns his head and sees Daniel rubbing Chloe’s belly. Chloe sees Nathan looking at her. Nathan turns around as looks at Philip who turns around to look at Chloe and sees Nathan looking at him. Philip turns about to face Lucas and Alex.

[Kpatch]

I loved karaoke night! That was so much fun. Loved all the looks everyone was giving each other. And I especially loved Chloe singing I NEED YOU, her and Philip's song from high school. How ironic that Melanie chose that song from Chloe's CD. It can't be Chloe and Daniel's song. It's already taken! Thanks for a fun story, Danniebear.

[sportsgirl]

Karaoke night is turning out very interesting... Wish I could hear them actually sing! Didn't know the significance of the song Chloe sang until now...Thanks jkjpatch!

I really like this Sami. She seems like fun!

[fluffysmom]

Loved Melanie having Chloe sing I need you. I like all of the interactions and looks at karaoke night.

[danniebear87]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Glad you liked the karaoke night. Will definitely write another one.

He thinks you’re the one that I cheated on Daniel with.” Chloe tells him. “Great then he’s going to tell Melanie and it’s over.” Philip says. “Tell Melanie what?” Melanie asks as she walks up behind Philip. Philip turns around. “Someone has something to tell me?” Melanie asks again. “That there is only one song left tonight and then karaoke night is over.” Philip tells her. “Ah man. We were having so much fun.” Melanie says. “Yeah well maybe Adrienne will do it again?” Chloe says. “I’m going to ask her.

Yeah I would love that.” She says. Philip and Chloe look over and see Nathan talking to Melanie. “Oh no is he telling her what he knows?” Philip worries. “Doesn’t look like it.
