A/n: So I wanted to make a four shot with Helpless, Satisfied, Burn, and Congratulations but it's going be a role swap, so Alex is the one who introduced Eliza to John, which John is the helpless one. And in the Congratulations, he got back from helping fight in the French Revolution.

Johns POV

I have never been so helpless in my life!

Girl, you got me helpless! Just looking into your eyes gets me utterly helpless and it feels like just drowning in them.

I have never been the type to try to grab the spotlight, that was more of my other friends thing. We were at the Winter Ball with the ladies, on a hot night. I was laughing at Lafayette as he danced with a women, but but accidentally stepped on her foot when dancing. Then she walked in and my heart? It went boom!

I walked around the ballroom, trying to catch her eye from the side of the ballroom, but she was a bit busy talking to someone.

Everyone was dancing and the band was top volume, grind to the rhythm as we all wine and dine. I was just about to get close to her, when more people blocked the way, so I was about to walk through the crowd, but then I saw Alex walking by, so I grabbed his arm and whisper "Yo, this ones mine." He turned to where I was pointing at. He smiled a teasing grin and made his way across the room to her. He began talking to her, which got me very nervous, and thinking "what was he doing?"

I began fidgeting with the collar of my suit, and then Alex grabs her arm and I felt my heart sink, thinking "I'm through."

Then she looked and I blushed like a tomato, as I look into her eyes. Boy, those eyes make me helpless.

"Where are you taking me?" Asked Eliza.

"I'm about to change your life." Alex replied promptly.

"Then, by all means, lead the way." She said teasingly.

As they walked closer to me, I began blushing even more.

"Uh-I-" I stuttered. "John Laurens, it's a pleasure to meet you." I bowed.

"Laurens?" Eliza asked turning to Alex.

Alex smiled. "Washington's Lieutenant Colonel."

"Thank you, for joining us for tonight." I said taking her hand.

"If tonight lets us become one you of you, then do be it." I blushed at the flirting and kissed the back of her hand. I almost didn't hear Alex saying "I'll leave you to it!" Since I was a bit busy, trying to calm myself down.

One week later.

I'm writing a letter nightly, it feels like my life gets better with every reply from Eliza.

I either scoffed or laughed at Alex's remark, as he watches me write a letter to Eliza.

"I'm just, saying, if you really love me, you would share her." He remarked.

I rolled my eyes. "Ha!" I said throwing a piece of paper at him.

Two weeks later.

In the Washington home, and I'm stressing. Eliza is visiting the Washingtons since, they are like family to me. But it wasn't only that, it was also because, Eliza had came to ask George Washington his blessing to marry me! Since I also saw him as a father. I groan quietly feeling like I'm dying inside, as Eliza and Washington wine and dine, while Washington is stone faced.

I'm also trying not to cry, since there's nothing you can do.

Then Washington stood up, and made his way across the room, making me panic, thinking we're through.

But he shakes Eliza's hand and says "Be true." Eliza then looked back at me, smiling and made me feel helpless once again, by just seeing your eyes. I then run up to her, to hug her.

"Darling, I know I am from a rich family and all, but I don't have anything you have, and acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame. All I have is my honour, apparently also a tolerance for pain." Eliza added jokingly, well, I hoped she was joking. "A couple college credits, and my top notch brain. Insane your family brings out a different side of me. Mulligan confides in me, Alex tried to take a bit out of me." When she said that, I turned to look for Alex, who had left the room, but Eliza quickly reassured me. "No stress, my love for you is never in doubt. We could get a place in Harlem and we could figured it out. I've also lived in a sheltered family, my father is protective and my mother is even more protective, so I may be just a little rebellious, but as long as I live, John, I swear to God that you will never feel so helpless!"

I hugged her.

My life is going fine with Eliza in it, and looking into her eyes got me helpless.

Soon at the wedding. I was standing at the podium, waiting for Eliza. Soon I saw her, it took my breath away, as I saw her.

We kissed as soon as we both said our I do's.

Helpless.

A/n: Question, you know the dude at the wedding who officiated it, the one who does the speeches so the bride and the groom can say I do, what are they called again? I need help, since I can't remember.
