Bigger than the both of us.
He looked at her and asked, "Do you love me Cath?"
Catherine looked deep into his eyes and felt something that she had never felt with another man. Not with Chris and certainly not with Eddie. Something told her that she could trust him with her heart. She'd known him for nearly seven years and had never thought of him in any other way than co-workers. Something about that unnerved her. Somehow she was afraid that their relationship would change if she confessed her feelings to him. So she said nothing. Instead she thought about the series of events that brought them to this place.
They were working on closing a case that had taken them weeks to get a lead on. They had finally wrapped up everything and went to grab a drink afterwards. The band started playing a slow song and he asked, "Care to dance?"
The song is "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat.
It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
It starts in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
But what am I going to say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm
And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth
And it stats in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight
Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go
He nodded and led her from the dance floor and out the door. Once outside he looked into her eyes, leaned down and kissed her softly. She felt her heart flutter and she felt like a schoolgirl again. She smiled into his kiss and he broke away and told her, "I'd better go before I do something neither one of is ready for right now."
She wanted to argue with him, but the more realistic part of her brain knew that he was right. Not wanting to rush anything they parted ways and drove to their respective homes.
