Author's Note: This little one shot popped into my head last night when I was listening to this song, and I just had to get it up as soon as possible, and oh looky! Here it is! Yay! Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, OR the song.... if only if only...
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Frank stared at Nancy's profile, from across the dinner table, where she sat listening to Joe who was retelling stories from his and Frank's childhood, as they waited for dinner. Frank stared at Nancy's lusciously, soft-looking lips as she laughed at a particularly embarrassing story involving Joe, a blizzard and missing pants. Her laugh caused a tingling in Frank's stomach, one he couldn't identify.
'Oh lord, they must be so soft,' Frank thought, unconsciously licking his own lips.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
As if drawn by his stares, Nancy turned to face Frank. They looked at each other for a moment, before Joe, who was being completely oblivious, reclaimed Nancy's attention once more. Before turning back to Joe, Nancy gave Frank a heartwarming smile, which he responded to, a moment too late.
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame
You gonna miss the girl
The next day, the detective trio went for a relaxing walk in the nearby park. While Joe had gone to talk to some girls by the ice cream vender, Nancy and Frank were relaxing in one of the parks many row boats.
Their boat was floating gently across the blue water, which was reflecting off the clear sky. Nancy was leaning on the small row boat, her titan hair blowing softly in the breeze. Frank watched as she closed her eyes, shielding her irises from the morning sun.
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
"Nancy," Frank said softly, not wanting to bother her, but knowing now was the best time for them to talk.
Almost reluctantly, Nancy opened her eyes, and looked straight into Frank's own brown eyes. "Frank?" she asked just as softly.
Frank coughed, suddenly nervous from the direct attention Nancy was giving him. "Nancy, I know we have always been friends, or at least that's what we have told others. But I've always had these feelings that made it seem as though we were more than just friends. And now that Callie and Ned are out of the picture, I've been debating whether or not to act on these feelings."
Nancy started, as if to say something, but Frank held up a hand to stop her. "Nancy, for as long as I've known you, you have been the most important thing to me, even when dating Callie. No one else in the whole world has your beauty, your smarts, and your strength."
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it now
You wanna kiss the girl
"What I'm trying to say Nancy," Frank said, rubbing his hand in his hair. Looking down, he continued, "Is that I love you. I don't know if you love me too, but I just had to tell you."
Frank looked up at Nancy and was surprised to see tears starting to spill over her glistening eyes. "Oh, Nancy! I'm sorry; I didn't mean to make you cry! Please don't be upset! I'm so sor-" Frank rambled, nervously, worried that he had upset Nancy, only to be cut off by her.
"I love you too," she said, as a bright smile broke out through her tears. "I love you so much! I love how smart you are, and your strengths, and you weird fixation with electronics. I love you so much Frank Hardy!"
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to this song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl
As the young couple stared into the other's eyes, they noticed something they hadn't noticed before about. Both of them carried the same looks in their eyes. They carried looks of pain, intellect, strength and most important, love.
You've got to kiss the girl
As Nancy and Frank looked into each other's eyes they began to lean forward. Closer and closer they got, their heads angling off as their heads came closer together. And just as their lips were about to touch, a playful child scream came from the edge of the lagoon, startling Nancy and Frank, who both stood abruptly, bumping heads. As Frank and Nancy clutched their heads, their boat overturned, due to the sudden change of balance, spilling the two love birds into the waist high water.
Why don't you kiss the girl?
Surfacing, Frank and Nancy, looked at each other, with water dripping from their hair, and their wet clothes sticking to them they burst out laughing.
You gotta kiss the girl
When they finally stopped, they noticed how close they were, close enough to notice the water drop from their eye lashes. With sudden assurance, Frank dipped his head, placing one hand on Nancy's neck, as he gently placed his lips on her, deepening the kiss as she responded.
They stayed there for minutes, taking in the life changing memory of them in the small park lagoon, on a bright May morning.
Go on and kiss the girl
