Love-Bound
Chapter 1: Realizations
Author's Note: Usually I hate song fics cuz they make me feel lazy but this stupid song
gripped me and Morgana thought it made perfect sense in respect to a particular couple.
Muses!
Oh also, Wild-Melody insinuated I am not at my best with romances, so hah! ;-) I hope
you like it Isabel, cuz it's for you and about your fave couple.
Disclaimer: Oopsie, almost forgot. Well no I don't own them. But I wish I did. I'd be
way nicer than Saban and let them all have lots of wild bunny sex.
~*~**~*~
The club was filled with hazy smoke that made all the patrons feel a little bit surreal.
The lights wafted gently over the room and the drinks, delivered very quickly, added to
the sense of mystique in the atmosphere.
She was more than a little drunk, after betting her best friend that she can out-drink
her. Trini, however, had developed an impressive resistance to alcohol while in
Switzerland. So Kim, of course lost.
The entire gang got into deciding Kim's punishment. Zack suggested making her go up and
kiss the emcee. Tanya nudged Trini and whispered something about a pool and a lack of
clothing. Trini shook her head, a devious half-smile gracing her delicate face.
Finally, Jason leaned over and suggested something no one could hear.
Trini's half-smile broke into a full-out evil grin. She grabbed Kim's arm and dragged
her to the ladies room, accidentally bumping into the sleepy Tommy. He shifted in his
seat and peered around carefully.
A few moments later, the emcee pulled the microphone to him and made an announcement,
"Well as you all know, it's karaoke night here at the Silver Moon Club. Our next
performer is a hometown girl with a few big world ambitions. Please welcome Kim."
Kimberly strutted forward and Tommy's eyes snapped very wide open.
When she came to the club, she was wearing a black knit knee-length skirt, a pair of
black knee-high boots with four-inch heels, and a silver button down shirt with all the
buttons closed. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, and curled. She looked
very pretty and rather innocent.
The trip to the bathroom changed all that. Her hair was let loose and arranged
carelessly into sexy ringlets, giving her a wet tousled look. Her skirt now exposed her
legs well up her thighs. Her button down shirt was unbuttoned, exposing a tiny midnight
blue and silver striped tube top, and was tied right under her breasts. She looked
sultry and no man in the room could stop staring.
Trini giggled as she caught the mesmerized looks all their male friends were giving Kim.
Kim grabbed the microphone and licked her bottom lip slowly. She nodded at the band and
the intro of the song flowed smoothly.
It was a new song so almost no one recognized it. Jason, though, displayed a smug
smile on his face.
Kim cleared her throat quietly, inhaled and began singing.
~You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
She glanced quickly at one particular male and caught his gaze, holding him captive with
her voice.
~Here's how it goes
You and me, up and down, but maybe this time
We'll get it right; worth the fight; cause love is something you can't
shake
When it breaks
all it takes is some trying~
Tommy couldn't look away, Kim's voice washing over him like a wave, warm, overwhelming,
calling up all the memories they made. The beautiful ones, the ones of kisses and
sunlight and secret glances in class and making love in the backyard with the moon
shining over their naked sweaty bodies.
~If you feel like leavin'
I'm not gonna make you stay
But soon you'll be findin'
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
Kim ran her free hand over her side and down her hip, then ran it back up her stomach
and gently traced it between her breasts. She became lost in the music as well,
remembering every touch, every word, every moment.
Jason and Trini exchanged knowing glances, secure in the knowledge that they were well
on the way to making their two idiot friends as happy as they were. Trini blew him a
kiss and turned back to watching the emotions play over Kim's face.
~So if you go, you should know
it's hard to just forget the past, so fast
It was good, it was bad, but it was real
and that's all you have,
in the end, all that matters~
Kim tried to read Tommy's eyes, to get past the walls and misconceptions they built up
over the past three years. They were soft, a sweet brown, and they drew her in,
magnetizing, without revealing anything.
Tommy wanted to burst, all the old and new feelings filling him up to the brim, Kim's
eyes giving away nothing.
~If you feel like leavin'
I'm not gonna make you stay
But soon you'll be findin'
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
Tommy was dead to the world, his mind barely perceiving the surprised gasps to his left,
and the all the comments about how good Kim's voice sounded to his right. All that
existed was Kim. It was as if invisible tendrils of their emotional connection, that
had been dormant for so long, reconnected and grew a billion times.
Kim could feel his eyes on her, her skin burning up, tiny whispers of their fire licking
at her body.
~You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
She decided to up the ante. Her eyes opened wide, shimmering orbs of doe brown, and she
let all her emotions flow through them, and through her voice.
Trini instantly recognized that her friend just put her heart on the line and
immediately turned her eyes on Tommy, hoping that, for once, the man would not be a
stubborn fool.
~Here's how it goes, all it takes, is some trying
If you feel like leaving, I'm not gonna make you stay
But soon you'll be findin'
You can run you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
Jason caught the shift in his girlfriend's attention and followed her lead, his fists
clenching, praying that he wouldn't have to deck the guy he's considered his brother for
ages.
Tommy could suddenly feel all of Kim's emotions focus on him. Her voice was low and
husky and her eyes had a familiar look in them, the look he used to see when she said
'I love you,' the look that shone at him when they made love. He could never resist her
when she left herself vulnerable like that. The question was could he leave himself
just as open…
~If you feel like leavin', I'm not gonna make you stay
But soon you'll be findin'
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
Kim sensed the lack of response in the man she still loved and her entire body froze up.
Trini tensed the fingers of her right hand and slowly made her way to Tommy.
Jason held up his hand, watching his friend's eyes intently and motioned for her to give
it a moment.
Trini nodded.
~You can run You can run You can run You can run You can run You can run You can run
You can run You can run You can run~
Kim felt breathless and lost. Fear took the place of the fire and ran through her
veins, hitting her like a speeding Mack truck. Her head spun and she slowly swept her
gaze over her friends.
Rocky had caught onto the situation almost from the beginning and now saw the feelings
that were assailing Kim clearly. He smiled and nodded his encouragement, his very
posture showing her that she was doing great and that she was braver than she gave
herself credit for.
Kim sighed and inhaled deeply. She drew on Rocky's support and opened up her entire
being, revealing even those feelings she tried to keep hidden away, even the bad ones.
All her pain and loneliness and feelings of rejection interlaced themselves in her
voice.
Tommy felt them slice into him.
~You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love~
He suddenly heard what it was she was singing, and that, combined with all her sadness,
caught him up so hard and heavy that all he could do was chant Kim's name in his mind.
The shutters on his eyes dropped open and he channeled his feelings back at her.
Kim moved her gaze to Adam's calm face and kept it there, afraid of that final rebuff.
Yet when she felt the waves of Tommy's emotions hit her, her head swerved and unerringly
centered on him.
Her song over, she ran down the steps, unheeding of the applause, surprisingly limber
with her high heels. She quickly avoided the obstacles in her way, customers, waiters,
tables.
Tommy stood up as if in a trance. As she neared him, his arms automatically held
themselves open for her. Kim leaped up and he caught her, holding her harshly, barely
avoiding squeezing painfully.
They stayed like that, Kim's legs wrapped tightly around his waist, Tommy's face buried
in her hair.
Aisha, impatient with all the preliminaries, gently tapped them both.
They shuddered and Kim leaned back a bit to look at Tommy's face. That was enough.
"I love you."
