Dark Eyes
Response to the Make Someday Today fic challenge, what creative way does Ranger propose and what lengths does he go to to make it a reality ...
I love the ways her eyes go dark with passion and desire when I kiss her.
Do they go dark for Supercop, as Lula calls him.
I love the way you accept me with all my flaws, and there are so damned many sins on my soul.
I know Supercop hates what you are and is trying to make you change, would you change for him. Why would you change for him.
"Joe asked me to marry him again"
My heart stops. All those damned things I said ... I want to take every word back, but there is no magic, no time machine that will let me do that.
"And?"
"I don't know. I need to go, I have half an hour to get to my mom's for dinner, you know.."
"Or the roast will be ruined ..."
"How well you know the routine!"
And how right she is - this ... dance they do so frequently.
I want to take her dancing. With no felons, perverts or rapists waiting.
My life doesn't lend itself to relationships. Mine is the kind of love that comes with a condom, not a ring. I love you in my own way.
Christ on a fucking crutch, how much more of an idiot can I be. I hope I am not too late.
Ranger lets himself into her apartment well after midnight - from the parking lot he can see the lights are off and Morelli's truck and bike are not in the lot. Ghosting into her bedroom, he drops his utility belt and puts his gun and phone on the bedside table and sits on the edge of the bed.
"Babe, we have to talk now, before it is too late."
From the Russian song Ochi chornye:
Oh, these gorgeous eyes, dark and glorious eyes,
Burn-with-passion eyes, how you hypnotize!
How I_ adore you so, how I fear you though,
Since I saw you glow! Now my spirit s low!
Darkness yours conceal mighty fires real;
They my fate will seal: burn my soul with zeal!
But my love for you, when the time is due,
Will refresh anew like the morning dew!
No, not sad am I, nor so mad am I;
All my comforts lie in my destiny.
Just to realize my life s worthiest prize Did I sacrifice for those ardent eyes!.
