Test walked into the bar of the hotel. He sat down at the bar and ordered a beer.
He saw Lita walk in Matt and Jeff in tow as usual. They sat down at a table and Lita saw him, beckoning him to join them. He did.
"Hey Test, how's it going?" Matt asked
"It's going man."
Lita was staring at the door, Test tuned to see what she was looking at...
Morgan.
His heart ached for her. She had been through so much... Most of it was directly or indirectly because of him. He still loved her with all his being. She didn't need him anymore.
He saw her smile at Lita and nod her head.
She walked towards them but kept going...
He looked at his companions, Lita with a huge smile on her face.
He turned back to Morgan who was leaning over whispering to the piano player.
The man smiled at her and nodded.
Morgan walked to the stage and took the mic from its stand.
What the hell was she doing? He thought to himself.
"I hope you folks don't mind the interruption but I have something to say to someone here and this is the only way I know how to do it..."
The man playing the piano started as the sound of her voice filled the room...
I Need You ~ Leann Rimes
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
She was looking at him. He was sure everyone could hear his heart pounding
You're my only reason
You're 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
She came to stand in front of him looking down into his eyes....
You're the hope that moves me
To courage 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
She ran her hand across his cheek...
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
He could see the tears in her eyes...
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
I need you
I need you
The applause thundered through the little room, but Test and Morgan didn't hear it. They were in each other's arms and Morgan felt complete again. "I need you Test." she whispered.
