I Need You
"Can I look now?" Sheridan asked Luis. She had her hands over her eyes and Luis was leading her into her cottage.
Luis told Sheridan only a few mintutes earlier that he had a surprise waiting inside the cottage and now Sheridan anxiously waited for Luis to tell her to look.
They had planned to go to the Harmony Dance Hall for an evening of dancing but, they had to instead go to the Crane mansion to resolve yet another crisis. This time involving divorce. One more effect of Ivy's secret.
By the time they were able to leave because no one needed their support the dance hall had already closed. But Luis, he had something special arranged. Sheridan didn't even notice when he slipped away.
"No, you can't look yet." Luis said, leading the way.
When they got down the few stairs Luis stopped walking before he entered the living room.
"Okay..." Luis said, "Now!"
Sheridan took her hands off her eyes and looked around the living room.
The lights were turned off but the room was lite with candles all around the room. The sofa had been moved back so that only the hardwood floor shown.
"Oh Luis!" Sheridan exclaimed, looking at the illumenated room.
Luis walked in the middle of the room and said, "Ah ah ah!" As he pointed his finger, "That is not all..."
Luis walked over to the CD player Sheridan had in her living room and pressed the play button. Before the music started he held out his hand to Sheridan and asked, "Shall we dance?"
Sheridan smiled and nodded.
The music played as they danced...
*I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You've my only truth*
*I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you*
"I love you Luis." Sheridan said. The words were wonderful to hear to Luis and wonderful to say for Sheridan.
"I love you Sheridan." Luis answered simply back.
*You're the hope that moves me
To courge again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it's so amazing
`Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
`Cause you've brought me too far*
Before that following chorus Luis said, "I've got one more surprise for you."
Sheridan looked in his eyes and said, "Another one?"
"Yep!" Luis answered, grinning, "And this one is better than this too!"
"Better? How on earth could it be better?" Sheridan asked.
"Well if I told you that it wouldn't be a surprise would it?" Luis answered.
Sheridan smirked.
*I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do*
It was during the middle of that chorus when Luis said, "You ready for the surprise?" He was all smiles.
Sheridan eyed him funny, "I think so..."
Then Luis backed out of Sheridan's embrace and then took her by the hands. Sheridan could tell Luis was anxious and excited.
Then Luis let go of her right hand so he was only holding her left hand.
Sheridan didn't have a clue what Luis had planned.
Then, unexpectedly, Luis got down on one knee as he pulled a black-velvet box out of his pocket and said, "Sheridan Crane, will you marry me?"
Sheridan gasped as she exclaimed, "Yes! Yes of course I will!" Luis slipped the beautiful ring onto her slender finger and stood up.
"I love you Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, with all of my heart." Sheridan said.
"And I love you," Luis hesitated before he smirked and said, "Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald!"
Sheridan smiled brightly and the kissed each other, long and passionately.
It was their first kiss as an engaged couple, and it was a darn good on at that.
*I need you like water
