Chapter 11

"May have this dance?" Georgie heard from behind her. She smiled at the person she saw standing before her.

"Yes you may," she nodded sweetly. He took her hand and lead her out to the dance floor. "This song is almost over," she said, confused.

"I know," he smirked. The look on his face gave away everything.

"Dillon, what do you have up your sleeve?" she asked suspiciously as she saw Maxie and Kyle giggling and pointing at the two.

"Who me? I just wanted a simple dance. This song is almost over, but I had to make sure no one else could ask you to dance," he said innocently.

Georgie couldn't fight the butterflies in her stomach as the next song started to play and he took her in his arms. "I never agreed to a slow dance," she whispered.

"But you agreed to a dance. You never specified what kind," he said into her hair. "And by the way, every word of this song is true," he whispered. The mere feeling of his hot breath on her neck sent shivers up and down her spine and made goose bumps appear on her arms.

As the words to the song began to play, she wasn't sure if she should stay in his arms or pull away. She did have a boyfriend after all, and what would he say when he realized that his girlfriend was dancing with another guy-her ex for that matter-to such a song.

**Well I'm shamemeless when it comes to loving you I'll do anything you want me to I'll do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see Oh baby, that's what's left of me Don't have very far to fall**

She smiled to herself as Dillon's plan became clear. She let her mind drift back to a night they had together before he left.

~*~Flashback~*~

She fidgeted with the buttons on his radio as they drove to the destination of their date. She had been doing the same thing for the last ten minutes and the sound of static and frequently changed music was grating on Dillon's nerves. "Georgie, please stop. Please," he pleaded.

She smiled at him, "whatever you say Dilly," she replied, knowing that he hated to be called that. He wouldn't tell her where they were going so Georgie thought he deserved some kind of punishment.

She sat back in the seat to find that the station she had landed on was a local country music station. "okay, we just had a request for a song, and I must deliver. Here's Garth Brooks' "Shameless"" the DJ announced.

Georgie smiled as she turned up the radio. "I love this song. I know it sounds corny but I always wished that someone would dedicate this song to me," she told him.

He didn't answer, but he took her hand in his. Their hands didn't separate for the rest of the ride.

~*~End of Flashback~*~

**You know now I'm not a man who's ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, oh honey, I don't have a prayer Every time I see you standin' there I go down upon my knees**

"You remembered," she whispered.

"Of course. I've never forgotten anything you've ever said to me," he whispered back, just as quiet.

**And I'm changing, swore I'd never compromise Oh, but you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you**

He started to sing quietly along with music, making the moment even more intimate than it already was.

**I have never let anything have this much control over me I work too hard to call my life my own And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I've never had so much to lose Oh, I'm shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I've ever missed But I've never been in love like this Its out of my hands **

"It used to be so hard for me to admit when I was wrong and I didn't care if anyone walked away because of it. Then I lost you, Georgie Girl. No one's ever come close to you," he told her truthfully.

She felt her knees go week and she had to tighten her grip around him in order to keep from falling down.

**I'm shameless, I don't have the power now I don't want it anyhow So I got to let it go Oh, I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You make a total fool of me I just wanted to you to know Oh, I'm shameless, I just wanted you to know Oh, I'm shameless, Oh, I'm down on my knees... shameless**

"I'll do anything to get you back," he whispered as the song ended. She pulled away from him as she felt the tears come to her eyes.

"Dillon. It's over. If I wanted you back, I would've answered one of the two hundred emails that you bombarded my inbox with. You sent so many, that my account stopped accepting mail. You've made your point. Let me make mine," she whispered as she walked off.

Maxie walked over to Dillon after Georgie had walked away. "Hey, that was only part of the plan. You did a number on her though," she said.

"Really? Because the only affect I'm seeing isn't to good," he replied harshly.

"Dude," Kyle interjected. "We've gotten pretty close since you left. She's like a little sister to me. Trust me, you got to her. She heard what you said. You hurt her though. Maybe after she hears what you have to say later she'll stop with all the games and just let you back in," he said.

"I hope your right man. I hope your right," Dillon said before walking over to Emily. He would be performing soon.
