Thank You

Thank You

Alanna took a deep breath. Slowly, she released it out.

I wanna thank you for giving me, time to breath
Like a rock you waited so patiently While I got it together
While I figured it out I only looked but I never touched
Cause in my heart was a picture of us Holdin' hands
Makin' plans and it's lucky for me you understand

He waited. George had the most patience-She just couldn't believe it.

3 years she had been with Jon and a few with Liam. And he wasn't ever jealous. Just stayed in Corus with Rispah, handling all the theives, and things.

But then she asked how he felt about it. About all those affairs she had.

To which he answered. " You needed space, Alanna. Time to think about things. And you weren't that vulnerable that you needed to come to me. So you went to Jon. " He took a sip of his ale, then laughed. " I always knew you'd come back to me though. You were my lass. "

What a girl wants What a girl needs
Whatever makes me havin' set you free I'm thanking you for knowin' exactly
What a girl wants What a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms And I'm thanking you for being there for me Yeah Yeah

George was exactly what every girl wanted. Loving, caring, understanding. The list could go on and on.

"Whatever would... make me happy would... set you free? " she asked, worriedly.

He frowned. " Yes... "

A little hesitant, she thought. Alanna laughed. " Then I'm thankin you, Georoge. For everything you went through for me. "

A weaker man might have walked away But you had faith
Strong enough to move over and give me space
While I got it together While I figured things out
They say if you love something let it If it comes back to show
That's how you know It's for keeps, yeah and it's for sure
And you're ready and willin' To give me more than

"Jon would never have put up with this, " she confided, as they walked through the beach. Her foot kicked the sand. " He's weaker than you. "
George laughed. " Our Jon? A prig, mayhap. But not weak. He's king, Alanna. Tortall shan't have a weak king. "

A girl needs somebody sensitive but tough
Somebody there when the goin' gets rough
Every night he'll be giving his love To just one girl
Somebody cool but real too Somebody, baby, just like you
Can keep me hangin' around With the one who always knew

" He's always there for me, Thayet, " Alanna explained as she paced the room. " Literally!! "

Thayet sighed amusedly and forced Alanna to sit down. " George is 'peachy,' " she giggled. " And also sensitive, right? "

" YES!! Finally, after the 400th time you get it. It's as if I'm in the realms of Perfectness. "

" Maybe... YEAH!! " Alanna giggled. " I'm happy about being a girl for once, Thayet! If I weren't a girl, then... I wouldn't have George to love me. "

The younger girl smirked. " Yes, he truly, truly, loves you. Alanna, I insist that you keep him. He's a one in a million kinda man you know. "

What a girl wants What a girl needs
Whatever makes me havin' set you free I'm thanking you for knowin' exactly
What a girl wants What a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms And I'm thanking you for being there for me Yeah Yeah

" I will marry you, George. I thought about it and now I know what I'm going to say! "

" It's not a jest, Alanna? " he asked. " You are playing with my feelings here, you understand. "

" Yes, Baron George of Pirate's Swoop! I want to be your wife! "
