Chapter 25
Two months later;
Kirsten's at Amy's house putting the final touches to her outfit. Matt was setting up something special for their 2 month anniversary. She swore to him that she wouldn't come home until he gave her the signal, a phone call to saying it was safe to come over.
"Ames, what do you think?"
Amy walks in, "Kirsten you look gorgeous." Kirsten's hair was up in a bunch of curls, she was wearing a baby blue form fitting knee length dress. "Matt won't know what hit him."
"That's the idea." Kirsten winks.
"Oh, by the way, Matt called; it's safe to go over now."
"I didn't even hear the phone ring, well…wish me luck." Kirsten arrives at her house a half hour later. She walks into her house and gasped. "Oh my god."
Her dining room was lit in candles. Matt stepped out of the kitchen, decked out in suit. "Hello."
"Matt…this is…" Kirsten had tears forming in her eyes.
"Come here. I cooked your favorite."
Kirsten laughed. "You cooked pizza?"
Matt pulled out her chair for her, she sits and he pushes it in. He kissed her cheek, "yup. And if you like this, just wait until later" He winked and went to get the food.
The two caught up on what's going on in their lives. Matt got up and turned on the stereo. "I heard this song the other day. Of course the guys had a lot of fun making fun of me for listening to this song, but it's exactly how I feel about you, Kirsten." He hit play and asked her to dance. The opening chords hit Kirsten's ears and she knew immediately what song it was. It just proves that Matt and she are on the same wave length, because this is exactly how she feels about him. Kirsten wraps her arms around his neck and rests her head on his chest.
Don't pretend your sorry
I know you're not (know your not)
you know you got the power
to make me weak inside (inside)
And girl you leave me breathless
But its ok
Cos you are my survival
Now hear me say
I can't imagine a life without your love
Even forever don't seem like long enough
[Chorus]
Every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe not
cos I have known the safety
of floating freely in your arms
I don't need another lifeline
it's not for me
Because only you can save me
Oh, can't you see
I can't imagine a life without your love
and even forever don't seem like long enough (don't seem like long enough)
[Chorus]
Every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
Cause you're the air that I breathe
[Chorus]
Every time I breathe I take you in (everytime I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it (baby I can't help it)
Keep drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your loooove
OOoooohhh
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in your love
Drowning
You got me drowning, drowning in your love
Baby I can't help it
Can't help it
No no
[Chorus]
Everytime I breathe I take you in (take you)
And my heart beats again (ooooh)
Baby I can't help it (baby I can't help it)
Keep drowning in your love (annnd)
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love (love)
Baby I can't help it
Keep drowning in, your love
(Drowning by the Backstreet Boys)
Matt steps back, cups Kirsten's face, leans down and kisses her. "I love you Kirsten, Happy Anniversary"
"I love you too." Kirsten's tears threatened to spill out.
Matt took her hand, "Come on, I have more to show you." Matt led her upstairs, to her bedroom. He pushed her door open and let her walk in. The room was decorated with her favorite scented candles, and dozens of different color rose pedals. Kirsten was speechless; no one has ever done anything like this for her before. Matt walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Do you like it?"
Kirsten turned around and kissed him with everything she had.
