Hush Hush ~ A Karmy Fanfic

Part twenty five

Karma's POV

I wake up and Amy isn't next to me, I bolt upright in the bed and look around for her. She isn't in my room, I check the en suite and she isn't there either, I creep downstairs and see her in the kitchen making pancakes.

She is in her oversized PJ top and shorts on and her hair in a loose ponytail and she looks beautiful even from behind.
I stand in the entrance to the kitchen and watch her, she has the radio on and uptown funk starts playing.

Amy starts dancing around and singing uptown funk whilst whisking the batter and putting it in the pan
Amy: "This hit
That ice cold
Michelle Pfeiffer
That white gold
This one, for them hood girls
Them good girls
Straight masterpieces
Stylin', while in
Livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Got kiss myself I'm so pretty

I'm too hot (hot damn)
Called a police and a fireman
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Make a dragon wanna retire man
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Say my name you know who I am
I'm too hot (hot damn)
Am I bad 'bout that money
Break it down

Girls hit your hallelujah (whuoo)
Girls hit your hallelujah (whuoo)
Girls hit your hallelujah (whuoo)
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
'Cause Uptown Funk gon' give it to you
Saturday night and we in the spot
Don't believe me just watch (come on)

Don't believe me just watch
Don't believe me just watch
Don't believe me just watch
Don't believe me just watch
Don't believe me just watch
Hey, hey, hey, oh!"

I have to resist the urge to laugh, she looks so sweet and cute and dorky. She tries to flip a pancake and ends up burning herself
Amy: "Son of a bitch!"
I walk up behind her as she runs it under the cold tap and hug her from behind, she jumps slightly before seeing that it's me.

Karma: "The stove was too hot, hot damn!"
Amy: "That may be the worst joke I have ever heard Karma and this hurts like a bitch"
I'm in stitches of laughter from my own joke and I spin her around and grab her hand with the burn on it and kiss the little red mark.

Karma: "Better?"
Amy: "Not really, the batter splashed and hit my lips too so..."
I pull her down to me and kiss her gently before pulling away
Karma: "Better now?"
Amy nods with a grin before she looks over at the pan and the incredibly burnt and slightly smoking pancake.

Amy: "Shit!"
She runs over and ditches it in the bin and pouts, I walk over to her and kiss her cheek
Karma: "You sit down I'll make them"
Amy: "But I wanted to surprise you"
Karma: "Well some of those dance moves were pretty damn surprising!"

Amy: "How long were you watching me creeper?"
Karma: "Only since the start of Uptown Funk anyway it was a lovely thought but we both know that you're not the best chef"
Amy: "True"
Karma: "Come here you've got batter everywhere"

I beckon her over to me and she walks over, she had somehow managed to get it in her hair, on her cheek and all over her top. I reach out my hand and cup her cheek in my hand as my thumb wipes the batter off of it.

I pull away and stick the batter covered thumb into my mouth, Amy's mouth drops open slightly
Karma: "Mmmm that's yummy"
I see Amy gulp and I smirk at her as I walk towards the stove.

I start to make pancakes and turn the radio up, Love me like you do was on and I began to sing it as I cooked the pancakes and danced.

Karma: "So love me like you do,
love me like you do
Love me like you do,
love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do,
love me like you do
Love me like you do,
love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?"

A pair of arms snake around my waist and her head rests on my shoulder, I flip the pancake as she whispers in my ear
Amy: "Where did you learn to dance like that?"
I shrug nonchalantly as if I had no idea what she meant, she starts kissing my neck as my brain turns to mush like it always did when she kissed my neck.

Karma: "Amyyy"
Amy: "Mmhmmm?"
Karma: "I need to... pancakes"
Amy: "You need to pancakes?"
She chuckles and stops kissing my neck
Karma: "You know what that does to me Amy"

Amy: "What do you mean?"
She fakes innocence and I shake my head at her as I place the pancakes out onto plates
Karma: "You know, now lets just hurry up and eat and get ready or we'll be late for school"

She grabs out plates and puts them on the table as I grab the cutlery
Amy: "You need a shower"
Karma: "That's not rude at all Amy, what do I smell or something?"
She laughs and reaches over the table and picks some batter mix out of my hair
Amy: "See you're as bad as me we need to get this out of our hair, that's all I meant babe"

I grin apologetically at her before stuffing some pancake into my mouth. We quickly finish our pancakes and I race into the shower and quickly shower and get ready. We were too late for the bus so Amy took the car and I left a note explaining it to my mom and dad.

We got to school a minute or so before the bell was due to go off, Amy gets out of the car and opens my door for me. I get out as she gets my guitar out of the boot before grabbing my hand, I interlace our fingers.
Amy: "You ready?"
Karma: "Yup lets go"

We walk into Hester and everybody's eyes are on us, some gawping, others looking impressed as we hurry to assembly.

The whole of Hester is gathered in the auditorium and Penelope is on the stage
Penelope: "Today is no ordinary assembly folks, I'm sure many of you already know this but we have a country wide champion in our midst"
I gulp and everyone turns to me as I start to turn red.

Penelope: "Karma Ashcroft get up here!"
There is applause as I have no choice but to go onto the stage
Penelope: "So Karma how was the contest?"
Karma: "Um it was good, I met some great people and had a lot of fun"

Penelope: "Excellent! Mind playing us a song?"
Karma: "Er-"
I was cut off from saying not really by Penelope
Penelope: "Great what about Hush Hush? Do you have your guitar?"

Karma: "Amy has it but I think-"
Penelope: "Bring it up then Amy"
I see Amy get to her feet and carry the case over to me as she mouths 'sorry' I get the guitar and Amy stays on the stage standing awkwardly by Penelope.

Penelope: "Take it away then Karma"
I look at the students gathered in front of me and they all look quite intrigued and like they want to hear it. I take a deep breath and sing Hush Hush, when I finish everyone is on their feet cheering and clapping.

Penelope lets this go on for a while before silencing everyone
Penelope: "So are you recording an album soon?"
Karma: "Um I'm not sure I haven't had a chance to get in touch with the label yet"
Penelope: "Well we look forward to it Karma and by the way you and Amy make a really cute couple"

I can feel myself going red again as I glance over to Amy to see her doing the same. I look at the crowd and can tell which ones had seen the show and which ones hadn't and to my surprise, about 90% had.

I feel Amy's hand on mine and look up at her supportive smile
Amy: "Thanks Penelope"
Penelope: "My pleasure now everyone get to first period please"

People start to leave and Amy grabs my guitar after I put it in it's case and we leave the stage hand in hand ready for first period.

We go to exit the auditorium but Amy is pulled the opposite way from the exit. We both turn to see Lauren glaring at Amy
Lauren: "We need to talk. Now."
Lauren waves me off and I look at Amy
Karma: "See you later I guess"
I grab my guitar off of her and kiss her cheek before leaving.

She looked worried but to be fair so would I if I were in her shoes. I wonder what Lauren needed to talk about that couldn't have waited.
