Marbles (studxstud)

Cam's POV

It was minutes before our one year anniversary and we were laid up in the living room doing karaoke. It was my turn and I picked out a really good song. I ran to the utilities closet to grab a broom because I needed a "standing mic".

"Damn extra," Ryan said grabbing a next beer.

I flipped him off and proceeded to search for the karaoke version of Apple Juice by Jessie Reyez on YouTube. I took a sip of my champagne and placed the glass back down. While the intro music was playing I said,

"This one for you Tye, gyal yuh body good and yuh special to me..." i winked and started singing.

Broken home baby
I can never blame you
No one ever taught you how to love right
No one ever taught you how to stand by
When it's uphill
And more times this love is just uphill

You're always fighting something
You never stop running
You don't even bother tryna keep your smile
Let me take you back, boy let me try
We might be alright
Perfect ain't coming but we'll be alright

You just gotta, just gotta love me
Don't let goodbyes come too easy
Love me, just let me know that you need me
Love me, I'll teach you how to love me, love me

Broken home baby
I can never hate you
Even though you're draining the soul out of my eyes
Even though you had me crying every night
I see you're trying
I'm grateful 'cause I see you're trying

I know I know I know I know why I shouldn't stay
But I'm stuck tryna save you from you
And you should know that I'm at your mercy
I've spent my life searching for you

So you just gotta, gotta love me
Don't let goodbyes come too easy
Love me, just let me know that you need me
Love me, I'll teach you how to love me, love me
You just gotta, gotta love me
Don't let goodbyes come too easy
Love me, just let me know that you need me
Love me, I'll teach you how to love me

I'll teach you how to love me

Everyone was looking at me in awe because they didn't know I could sing. Cindy put her beer down and started clapping. I did a few bows thanking my fans.

"Can we please get another?" Mona asked clapping her hands really fast.

"Any selection from the fans?" I asked holding onto the broomstick.

"Suddenly by Billy Ocean," Tye spoke up.

I winked at her and searched for the song. I was waiting on it to load while taking a hit from Mona's blunt and then handing it back to her. The intro started playing and I turned towards the television since I didn't fully know the lyrics.

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello
Until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
Cause this love is everlasting
Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up suddenly you're in love

Girl you're everything a man could want and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for
Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
You wake and suddenly you're in love.
