In the tradition of (my mentor) Writergirl2003's "You're Everything"
Although the song was released in 1983, the "Innocent Man" Album, is a tribute to the music of the 60's.
"This Night" By Billy Joel
"Didn't I say I wasn't ready for a romance?
Didn't we promise we would only be friends?
And so we danced, though it was only a slow dance. I started breaking my promises right there and then."
He held her as they slowly moved in time to the music. How they ended up there, holding each other, with her head resting on his chest and his hands caressing her, he couldn't fathom. He wasn't supposed to enjoy it like he did now. He needed not to. It was all supposed to be a business thing, a command performance, a night with a girl he agreed to treat as a friend. As the daughter of his boss, the child who needed an escort. The girl who would go back to the girlish things teenagers do tomorrow. Somehow though, she wasn't a child as he held her. She was soft and beautiful. Her hand crept up his back as they turned and he sighed. It wasn't right, it wasn't good, but it felt unbelievable and so did she. Her head tilted up and their eyes met.
His head told him not to do it. His mind fought so hard to avoid what he wanted to do. He would surely regret giving in. All that he worked for could be gone with one single motion. But her eyes continued to gaze at him and he felt her embrace tighten as he studied her. He needed not to lean down, their lips couldn't meet. He looked to the ceiling, then felt her hand move away from his, trailing up his arm. It traveled up to the shoulder, down his chest and around his waist. His encircled her instinctively. And when his eyes lowered, they were no longer dancing. They were just moving as one. She smiled and he could no longer hold back.
This night, she was his.
