you had chris sing ray charles. *flails* after i downloaded the song, i just listened to the intro and it was like i was in the club with chris and blake and melinda. niiiice job :D

but yes, now for the rest of the story; the first three paragraphs until blake interrupts chris' thoughts are just pure love. you really just set a great backdrop for chris being in new york and then the little cake (albeit daydreaming) action near the end was adorable.

Chris knew he needed that little kick of sex to make the performance work, and he was just drunk enough not to care about singing it to Blake.
hi, i kinda want to marry that line. it's perrrrfect.

actually, the whole section of chris playing is love &hearts

and i might've said this in the last chapter, but i love how random american idols keep popping up. you had melinda's voice spot on i think and i'm just loving on this au *hugs*
