Serenade Virtuoso

BY: Cassy

Disclaimer: This was Tamara's idea of getting JC out of the doghouse after Anita found out about Tamara's pregnancy and the sire of her child. Oopsy!

JC: Ma fleur...this is ridiculous...Anita is not the kind of woman who would enjoy this sort of thing... Tam: Jean...trust me, she'll enjoy it...may not appreciate it, but she'll enjoy it. *hides a smirk*

JC: *gives me a look* I think you just want me to humiliate myself in front of her...

Tam: *grins openly* Be surprised what effect your willingness to abjectly humiliate yourself will have on a woman...now get OVER there and sing!

JC: *moves over to stand in front of Anita's door, muttering about being glad that at least I insisted on the original version of the song I gave him instead of the country version...looks back at me hard*

Tam: *crosses arms and waves with one hand for him to get on with it...cues the background music*

JC: *singing* Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all

And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me *shoots a glare my way at the word "ain't"* That has very far to fall

You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees

*kneels on that line, just as Anita pokes her head out the door to see what the hell's going on*

And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you've convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please

You see all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you

I have never let anything have this much control over me Cause I worked to hard to make my life my own Yes I made myself a world and it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless...shameless

*really starts getting into the song, as Anita stands there with a half-stunned, half-bemused look on her face*

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this...

It's out of my hands

I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go

I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know

I am shameless Shameless... Shameless...

*the music ends...JC stays in front of Anita on his knees, waiting for her reaction*
