Chapter 313 - Beautiful Crazy (1/2)

He didn't prepare to sing, but thankfully, he knew some sweet romantic songs;

Nicklaus walked to the stage and took the mic;

Everybody cheered as they waited for him to start singing; he thought for a moment and then went to the band and spoke to them, Tiana watched them nod to what he was saying, she never heard him sing, not to talk of singing a romantic song, so she laughed when she saw he was actually going to sing;

She smiled when the band started to play and when she looked at him, their eyes met. She giggled as though asking him if he knew what he was doing;

Tiana prayed he wasn't going to disgrace himself;

The instruments played softly as Nicklaus spoke;

''The title of this song is Beautiful Crazy by Luke Combs. Beautiful, I'm sorry I didn't think about this, I should have written one especially for you, but I've been listening to this one lately, and I've always thought about you when listening; so I'm going to sing it for you; ''

Tiana wasn't angry with him at all, in fact, she was glad that he actually stood up to sing;

''I love you! '' she screamed and everyone cheered at the couple, they were so sweet.

''I love you too.''

Tiana beamed excitedly, her ears arched as they waited to hear his voice;

''Her day starts with a coffee and ends with a wine;

Takes forever getting ready, so she's never on time for anything

But she gets that 'come get me' look in her eyes

Well it kinda scares me, the way that she drives me wild

When she drives me wild…

Beautiful, Crazy, she can't help but amaze me

The way that she dances, ain't afraid to take chances

And wears her heart on her sleeve

Yeah, she's crazy but her crazy is beautiful to me…

Tiana started off with a wide grin but as she listened to Nicklaus sing for her, her lips fell open in surprise, and she was lost staring at him.

Never did she imagine that he would have such a wonderful voice, he had shocked her, and not only her, everyone in the hall. The whole place was quiet as they listened to him;

She makes plans for the weekend, can't wait to go out;

Till she changes her mind, says; ''let's stay on the couch and watch tv''

And she falls asleep…

Beautiful, crazy, she can't help but amaze me…

All the while, Nicklaus' eyes locked in hers and he didn't mind that there were other people watching them, it was as though it was just them, in their own world.

Tiana's heart drummed as her eyes watered, she was getting so emotional and she knew if he continued singing she was actually going to cry;

''She's unpredictable, unforgettable, it's unusual…

Unbelievable how I'm such a fool, yeah, I'm such a fool for her… ''

Nicklaus was walking towards her now, his gaze transfixed on her. Tiana's chest heaved, she stood up reflexively as he approached and her legs moved towards him involuntarily;

She only knew he had finished singing when she heard the audience resounding clap;

Tiana bit her lower lip;

''You didn't tell me you could sing? '' she stared in his eyes as she spoke; not minding that everyone was watching;

''Can I? '' Nicklaus asked, with one brow raised;

''So well; '' she said, and then hugged him. Nicklaus hugged her back, after a few seconds, he held her face and kissed her lips and the crowd cheered happily.

The night was considerably long. After the dance and songs, the elderly retired after bidding the couple goodnight, while the younger stayed back and played games.

By the time it was all over, it was very late in the night, and she was already exhausted. After bidding everyone bye, they retired for the night. They didn't go back home that night, as the penthouse was decorated specially for their wedding night.

Tiana was tired but after taking a shower, she was agile again.

The room was decorated with roses and sweet-scenting candles, the light was dim and the bed was plush and inviting. Nicklaus was in the shower as she got ready in front of the dresser.
