~Chapter 4~
Lindsey walked though the door of the Crane Mansion. Ethan looked up at her and saw her brown eyes sparkle. She smiled at him, her white dress dragged slowly behind her as she ran over to him. When she got near him she almost fell. He caught her in his arms. She felt so happy and safe in his arms. It was a safeness that she needed in her life, something no one had been able to give her in a long time. After he caught her, the song "return to me" started. (Author's note: if you haven't heard this sound it's on the movie "return to me" I don't know who sings it but the first time I heard I loved it) He looked at her and whispered the simple plea, "Dance with me." She did not dare say no. He took her hand in his and she let her shawl fall to the ground. She looked right into his beautiful blue eyes and felt a certain peace that she had not felt in a long time. The whole time they were dancing, they never once left each other eyes. However, when the song, "kiss me" came on she turned away and looked at the pictures surrounding her. They were pictures of "his family". When she saw the picture of his wife sitting on the table, she let do. He looked her in the eye shocked. "What's wrong?" She just turned and left leaving a stunned Ethan behind.
Lindsey woke with anger in her. She had let her self- dream about him again. She was even going to kiss him. What was she thinking! She could not, she just could not! She told her self to forget about him that the chances of that happening were to high to risk her feelings getting involved.
Ethan woke up at the same time and he was confused. She had been there but she had left. He had no clue why she left or why had he even dreamed about her. He had not dreamed about anyone other than Theresa.
Lindsey looked up at the ceiling and sighed knowing that she loved him and that if she did see him that she would not be able to control her feelings. She was never good at controlling herself when she was in love with someone. It was one of the few things that she hated about her self.
Ethan looked out the window at the moon and he smiled. He knew he had feelings for Lindsey. He had tried to deny the fact every since he first met her. There was something about her, maybe it was the way she smiled, or the way her eyes light up when she first saw him. What ever it was about her that made him feel this way, he just hoped that the feeling would not stop.
Lindsey got up off her bed and walked over to the one window she had and looked out at the moon. She smiled at how pretty the night was. She suddenly felt that Ethan was near her. She just smiled. There was something about him that she loved. He had always made her feel this way. When he walked into the classroom that day, she had felt goosebumps go all over and some how she kept her cool. She did not even remember what she said she was just to busy staring into his beautiful blue eyes. They were shining the whole time she was talking. She just knew that she loved him always and forever.
He looked over at Theresa's picture next to his nightstand. "I'm miss you honey. And I will never find another women to replace you. I promise you, Theresa I won't." He laid his head back on the pillow and thought of all the moments he and Theresa shared and their child, Gabi. She laid her head back on the pillow and sat there staring at the ceiling and holding her teddy bear close to her heart
It was finally Saturday and everyone in the house was ready for the big party except the two Bennett-Crane. Gabi had tried on at least ten outfits but she could not find a thing to wear. It was times like this when she wished she had a mother or a sister who could help her decided what to wear but all she had was a father and there was no way she was going to be ungrateful for having him in her life. She had already lost one parent and was not looking to lose another any time soon. She looked in the mirror at the blue dress she had on; it was a dress that her father had picked out. She was surprised that day when he decided that for once he was going to take her shopping instead of her aunt. It was one of the best times she had ever had at mall. When they found the dress, it was a perfect fit and she had decided that she was going to save it for a special occasion and this was as special as it gets. "You look just like you mother, just beautiful." She turned around and was shocked to see her father standing behind him. She smiled. "Really? I never thought I could look as beautiful as her." "Yes, you really do. Have I told you Happy Birthday yet?" She shock her head. It was what he always did he would wait until it was one minute before the time she was actually born. He would walk into her room, say how much she looked like her mother, and ask if he had told her happy birthday yet and then look at her and say how much her mother would be proud of how she turned out and then he would leave and she knew that he went to go cry because by then it was the time that he lost his one true love, her mother. As he started to leave, she stopped him. "Dad?" "What?" "Before you go any where's I want to fix you up." He looked at her shocked. "Fix me up?" "Yeah, make you look nice for Ms. Cane. It's the least I could do for you." He smiled. "Do I really look that bad?" She smiled. "You look just ok but you'll look better than ok when I'm through with you." He laughed. "Ok, I guess I'll let you help me. But nothing to drastic ok?" "I'll try to keep your look the same."
Lindsey was sitting in the little room, the only room she had. She was thinking about the party tonight and the dream she had last night. Her dream was about Ethan, she had them a lot actually. It worried her that she was thinking about him every night and in every dream, it felt like he was there next to her. However, he wasn't and she knew that but maybe it was a sign that they would get together. On top of that, she was worried about tonight; She had no clue how it was going to go. She was worried that she was going to say something that she did not want to say. In addition, if she did say that then why would he believe her and what would happen to her if she did tell him. She was worrying herself too much and she knew that but she could not help it she was going to see Mr. Ethan Bennett- Crane tonight. She was going to be his date. This was what she wanted but she could not help but be very nervous. ~end of chp. 4~
