The Lip Sync Battle... (600+ words)

---

"Oh dear..." I facepalmed myself in humiliation.

"Oh, wait until you see Ben's performance...." Priya chuckled and looked up from her phone. "Let's just say, it'll bring us all back to elementary or high school." 

That made me a little nervous but continued watching the lip sync battle rage on. Jake was up first and my cheeks started to tint up a bit. 

"So, Jake...What made you pick this song that you are about to sing?" The MC had asked Jake and he just full-on smirked. 

"Let's just say, the fans call me Big Country." And just like that, he started to take his suit jacket and shirt off, to reveal a Memphis Grizzlies jersey which had unveiled his new 'family' tattoo he got a few weeks ago. 

The music started to blare out and I immediately looked up at him. And all of a sudden, "Chattahoochee" by Alan Jackson started to blare out and I saw Jake starting to start lip synching along to it, adding a few country-style dance moves. After he was done, he lifted the cowboy hat off his head and 'tossed' it into the air while he bowed for the crowd.

Jake had finished his entry and Jared had completed his rendition of "I Want it That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. It was currently Ben's turn and I smiled as I saw Jake smile at me. 

"So, Ben...Why did you pick the song you are performing in front of us, today?" The MC had also asked Ben and he kept a big smile on his face. 

"Well, Lauren told me that this was Luca Sbisa's favorite song..." Ben smiled and all of us in the crowd laughed out loud. 

Music started to blare out and immediately, my hands flew up to my mouth. My laughter was stifled due to my hands covering my mouth. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua was starting play and we were watching Ben having fun with it, and yes, he did unbutton his shirt... 

I watched him going up to Jannik and the whole spiel. Eventually, Sven went and did a Marvin Gaye song, doing all typical 'mic-drop' and even left the stage.

It was the end of the gala and we went up to Jake and Ben. 

"Nice job tonight, boys! Jake, I very much enjoyed the Chattahoochee performance..." Priya giggled, giving a hug to Jake before running to Ben's side. 

"Thanks, Priya...I think Ben's performance definitely is the one that may have beaten Justin Bieber's rendition of Big Girls Don't Cry." Jake chuckled and patted Ben on the back. 

"You both did fantast-Oh I can't even!" I started out serious before I broke down in laughter. "You guys were hilarious out there!" 

"Geez, I love the fact that my fiancé's telling me that I embarrassed myself in the public..." Jake sarcastically rolled his eyes and kissed my cheek. 

"Anyways, Ben and I will be leaving you two alone..." Priya smiled and grabbed Ben's hand, leading out of the room. 

"I'm just kidding babe, I loved that performance." I chuckled to myself and wrapped my arms around his neck, looking into his crystal blue eyes. 

"Why, thank you very much! Should I have another job as a country singer?" Jake smiled, looking down at my E/C eyes. 

"Just stick to your day job, honey."

"I love you."

"Love you too."

He kissed me right on the spot and I heard an 'ew' coming from someone, who turned out to be Jared....

"There's a baby in the room!" Jared jokingly shouted and covered Ben's eyes, who then uncovered his hands and glared at Jared. 

"Nice going, Jared the Backstreet Boy!"
