SARAH MACKENZIE'S APARTMENT
GEORGETOWN, VIRGINIA
Making dinner had become a weekly, and sometimes daily, ritual for Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie. It had been that way since that hellish time in Panama. He would be here soon. She'd just put the finishing touches on dinner when the buzzer sounded, signaling his arrival at the outside door, waiting to be buzzed in. No more than two minutes later she opened the door to his patented flyboy grin.
"Hello Sarah!"
"Hi, I'm almost done, make yourself comfortable."
"Thanks, ETA?"
"Five to ten."
I'm tuggin at my hair
I'm pullin at my clothes
I'm tryin to keep my cool
I know it shows...
She set the steaming plates on the table and then adjusted her shirt and ran her fingers through her hair.
'I wonder how I look to him.' she wondered.
"Sarah, you look amazing," he answered her thoughts and without thinking, placed a tiny kiss on her lips.
I'm starin at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head...
She looked down as a deep blush traveled up her neck to her cheeks and ears.
"Thanks," she said hesitantly as looked back up to his gorgeous blue eyes. She could get lost in them, they were so bright, but so dark; so deep, but he was so... Shallow, 'Why can't he tell me how he feels?'.
I'm feelin so nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it, yeah...
She was overcome with nervousness, 'Should I do something? Maybe prompt him...'
She walked up to him, she was so close to him, only a few inches separated them.
"Permission to kiss the Commander?"
"Always."
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you ... AWAY
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I wanna see
I want to see you go down... on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say...
The distance between them lessened as one of her hands came to the side of his face to cup his cheek and the other went to the back of his neck. The cool hair on the back of his neck was still damp from a recent shower. His hands splayed across her back, he slowly ran his tongue across her bottom lip and started to suck on it quickly gaining entranceto her warm mouth.
It don't do me any good it's just a waste of time
What use is it to you whats on my mind
If it ain't comin out we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
I'm feelin nervous
Tryin to be so perfect
Cause I know your worth it
He slowly edged her through her living room and her open bedroom door.
"Harm, wait, I don't know, it's against regs, the UCMJ, you name it..."
"Sarah, we've waited so long, are you sure?"
"Yeah, let's just eat before it gets cold."
Chorus
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping awayI stutter, I stumble, like I've got nothin' to say
Chorus x2

Harm, about what happened, I mean, we... we need to talk."
"I know we do, we've needed to for quite some time."
