Leaving Me Breathless

Disclaimer: I do not own Michelle Branch's  song You Set Me Free

Dawn POV

I wake up when the sun touches my face. Then it hits me where I am, but how did I get asleep? I must of fell asleep in Connor's arms. That must have been so awkward for him. I mean, I just met the guy and I fall asleep in his arms! Well I mean he is totally hot and….wait off topic.

I walk down the staircase to find Connor and apologize. I look around the lobby. Spike isn't in there, I guess he still must be asleep. Cordy, who was sitting at the front office and filing her nails, saw me enter squealed and ran up and gave me a hug. I smiled and hugged her back. I've never seen he so friendly!

"Umm, Cordelia have you seen Connor?" I asked her.

"Sure he is on the roof, why?" she asked.

"Oh, I just have some matters to work out with him."

"Okay, but when you finish that, come back down here cause we have to have a major shopping spree!"

"Sure"

I smiled and found my way to the exit for the roof. I took one step up there I went totally breathless!

-----------------------------------

Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless

No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny

------------------------------------

There he was standing there with the sun shining giving his hair a natural highlight. Then all around us you could see the whole world!

"I know I like this place too. I come up here often." he said, he must of heard me gasp.

"About last night. I am so…" I started.

"It's okay," Connor said cutting me off, "Here come with me I want to show you something."

---------------------------

When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you

-----------------------------

I took his hand and reached out hand. He guided me to the edge of the building, but I didn't feel afraid. I don't think I could holding his hand. He put me so close to the edge that one more step I would fall off. He put my arms to where they were straight out making a T. After all that he placed his hands on my hips so I wouldn't fall.

"Close your eyes." He whispered in my ear making shivers run down my back. I did and got the most sensational feeling.

"It's like I'm flying!" I smiled.

---------------------------------

'Cause I wanted to fly,
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free


There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless

You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark

--------------------------------

I wanted to stay like that forever, but I finally turned around after several minutes. Connor and I just stood there looking at each other. Then he leaned in to kiss me when Cordelia crashed opened the door letting her onto the roof making Connor and I break away from each other.

"Dawnie! I've got Angel's credit card! Hurry, we've got to leave before Angel realizes how big of a mistake he made giving it to me." Cordelia said totally breaking the mood.

--------------------

And you set me free
