This is for Jill/Hal. No. 4 in the 'Duets' series. Waiting For A Girl Like You is by Foreinger.

WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU (JILL & HAL)

As they entered the coliseum for the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics game, both Jill Munroe & Hal Jordan began to wonder about their situation…and why neither of them has told each other about how they really feel about each other, preferring to hide it with wisecracks. Jill thought to herself –Come on, you've faced murderers, drug dealers, pimps, child killers, and now death dealing crazies on a daily basis…why does telling a guy how you really feel drive you into a corner?-

Hal had similar thoughts. –Come, on, Jordan, you said you like blondes…why is it that telling this certain one about how you really feel turn you into the biggest coward since Dr. Light?-

Once inside, and the game started, Jill grins and says "Great night, huh?" To herself, she thinks -Great opener, Jill. Just open your mouth and tell him!-

"Lakers are gonna nail the Celtics tonight!" Hal smiled. –Real smooth, Jordan, does Batman have to scare you into really talking to the woman?-

However, sometime during the 4th Quarter, Jill got it into her head…and as the Jumbotron was on them when they didn't know, the Red Power Angel just took matters into her hands…and kissed the Air Force Captain. Hal took this as a sign…and happily returned said kiss.

Later, after the Lakers victory…Hal & Jill both were still sitting in the bleachers grinning at each other. "How long have you felt like that?" Jill asked.

"Since I…I first saw you. I thought you had someone already…and I'm…as Bruce, Diana, and Tommy can tell you…I tend to wander when it comes to women. You've heard about Carol Ferris…and my love life afterwards?"

"Yeah. It seemed…interesting." Jill smiled.

"Thanks for the kind words and being charitable. It was a train wreck…and everyone knows it. How about you…how has…" Hal started.

"Came close to going down the altar once…until he got killed in my place…in a racecar that I was supposed to drive in LeMans. The owner turned out to be a crook himself…and I never really got close since then." Jill confessed.

Hal smiled at Jill, and started "You know, maybe I've been…you know, like you…why am I having a hard time saying this? Jill, I…" but before he could say another word, Foreinger's 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' came on the speakers.

Hal jerked a thumb towards the music system and only said "That."

Jill grinned. "At least one of us finally said it. Hal… how about we both start over tomorrow…with a real date."

"Sounds great to me. I think everyone has been wondering when we'd get together." Hal told her.

Jill smiled and added "The other Angels have been asking when we'd get married. I say we elope just to drive them nuts."

"Jill." Hal gently scolded before kissing her again.

So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long

Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter oftime

When you love someone, when you love someone

It feels so right, so warm and true,

I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong

This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting for a girl like you, and a love that will survive

I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive

Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

You're so good, when we make love it's understood

It's more than a touch or a word can say, only in dreams could it be this way

When you love someone, yeah, really love someone

Now I know it's right, from the moment I wake up till deep in the night

There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting for a girl like you, and a love that will survive

I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive

Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting, waiting for you, ooh, I've been waiting

I've been waiting(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting)

Won't you come into my life?
