Fluffy Babe Story
Steph's Pov
Ranger and I had finally gotten our acts together about six months after Joe and I broke it off. That was a year ago today. We took things slow, he asked my out on dates, I met his family, and he had dinners with mine. We waited eight months before we slept together, he wanted to make sure we were heading in the right direction, and that we could make this work first. I didn't have a single doubt, he's my best friend, the other half of me. He surprised me with dinner and dancing tonight to mark the occasion. I can honestly say I only had eyes for him on this night, and was sooo not aware of my surroundings. A slow song started up, and he guided me to the dance floor, and in that moment I realized it really fit how I felt for him, and everything we had been through together.
I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of shearchin'
'Til you walked in to my life
It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone
I realized as he pulled me closer he was singing the song to me. I guess he was feeling the same pull to the song as I was. From that first time in the diner years ago, I always felt safe with him. I wasn't lost in the world any longer. He kept me safe, and still let me fly. We may have stumbled a lot, but we got here, where we were meant to be.
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we'll just get closer
I fall in Love all over
Every time I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend, oh yeah
He is, he is my best friend. No matter what I couldn't deny it. I look at him and love him a little more each time. There was so much more to him than meets the eye. Being Ranger was part of him, but he was my partner, a gentle soul, my lover and the best thing that ever happened to me. I owe Connie big time for setting it up for him to help me.
You stand beside me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world go crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh, the look in your eyes
When we make love
He is always telling me how proud of me he is. Every time my car blows up, or I have trouble with work, or family, he is right there for me. He holds me and lets me feel his love in his embrace. The first time we made love it was so sweet and tender, I had never known it could be like that. The tears in his eyes matched mine that night. The were tears of joy, the emotions were so overwhelming for both of us that was the only way they came through. The words weren't needed at all.
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closed
I fall all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life makes perfect sense
You're my best friend (you're my best friend)
You're my best friend (You're my best friend)
As the song ended Ranger stopped me, then he began to kneel in front of me. He took my hand and asked,
"Stephanie, you are my best friend, and my heart. I would be lost without you. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
We both had tears coming down our cheeks, and I whispered,
"Yes"
He slid the ring on my finger, and stood up and kissed me. When we broke apart I heard that sounded like a thunderous roar, as I looked around I saw that our friends and family were there clapping and cheering for us. It was wonderful, but even better I was going to marry my best friend.
