Chapter 6: Heart and Soul
Rating: PG-13 It's going to get a little hot in here!! LOL!
- This part does follow the movie. It's the party, only change I made is that the children aren't there! (you'll understand why in a minute! LOL) For the sake of the story, the children are in bed!
- Alternating between the Captain and Maria's POV. Don't worry you won't get lost, the first half will be Maria's POV and the second half will be the Captain's.
- I'm warning you now, I am adding quite a bit of spice to the end of the Laendler. It gets pretty steamy…so just be prepared!! LOL!
- Ok here it is guys! ;) Hope you like it. I won't hold the next chapter for ransom since everyone was so good about this one

The soft sounds of the music from the party fill my ears, as I walk about the veranda. It's a beautiful night. The sky is clear and stars are shining bright, the air is warm and comforting. I look down at the light blue dress that I'm wearing, and run my fingers over the soft material as my mind flashes back to the night I received it.
It was a in a simple brown paper package, with a card tucked under the string. It was a simple note, yet it was filled with the most complex and delightful feelings. Never had I imagined that "thank you" could evoke the feelings that they did. But it was the contents of the package that took my breath away. My heart skipped a beat as I held the soft material in my hands…images of that day in the market dancing through my head. He remembered…something so simple and seemingly meaningless, yet he remembered. My mind spins at what his gesture could mean…
" Hello." The soft sound of his voice causes me to jump and I turn around quickly.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." He says, his tone truly apologetic.
I nod to him, " I never did get to thank you…" I trail off, my eyes suddenly finding his.
" I remembered how you said you'd like a dress made from that material. And I found it only fitting that I give you something, not nearly as special as what you given to back to me, but something special nonetheless."
I smile at him, his eyes fixed with mine. " I will forever be indebted to you Maria."
I shake my head, thankful to lose the eye contact. " I'm glad I was of help to you and your family. The smiles on the children's faces is thanks enough."
He takes a step towards me, his eyes finding mine. " Maria…"
I close my eyes and step back, desperate to change the subject. " It's a lovely party."
He looks over his shoulder, and then back at me. " Yes…I suppose. I never have been the type for lavish parties."
" I've never seen anything like it. The dresses, and the cars, oh and the music." I say happily, reveling in the soft sound of the music.
His smile grows brighter as I continue on, " So lovely." I say one more time, as the soft strains of a familiar dance floats outside.
It takes me a few moments to remember the song, the Laendler. An Austrian folk dance that I learned as a child…
" May I?" I hear him say quiet, almost tentatively.
I look down to see his hand being held out to me…
His eyes find mine and I step towards him, putting my hand into his.
******
Her hand is soft and warm, just like I remembered. I smile at her, and we start our dance.
I find myself stunned by the way we move, completely in sync with one another. She twirls around me and smile at her, totally lost in the way she moves. My hand goes around her waist, and I hear her inhale softly. And I pull her closer to me, despite the fact that the dance calls for the exact opposite.
I hold her close, and look down into her eyes, as we continue to move in prefect rhythm. The music slows down, and then stops.
I know I need to let go of her, to get her out of my arms before I no longer have the will to keep from kissing her. But I can't…
I feel her shudder under my hand as I pull her to me, her body pressed to mine. Her lips are slightly parted and I think how easy it would be to kiss her… how easy it would be forget the party and Elsa, to forget everything but the heaven I feel with her in my arms.
My hand absently moves slowly up her back, and I hear a soft moan escape her. That's the last thought I have before I press my lips to her.
Her lips are soft under mine, as she leans into me. My hands go around her waist and I pull her to me, needing to touch her. She moans again, and I deepen the kiss…my hands roaming all over her prefect body. Her hands go around my neck as she deepens the kiss, this time.
I hear myself moan at her actions, and I move my lips from hers. Her skin is soft as I trail kisses along her jaw line. Her head tilts back as she leans into me. I trail my kisses lower; absently pushing aside the material on her shoulder, before pressing a soft kiss into her shoulder blade. I hear her moan again, as she practically melts in my arms. I look down at her before I move my lips back to hers…
The kiss is suddenly halted as she pulls out of my arms. I watch her step back, her eyes refusing to meet mine.
" I ummm…I have to… go check on the children." She says quickly, her voice shaky.
I open my mouth to say something, to stop her; to make her understand that what just happened was more then a stolen moment.
But she's gone before I can even open my mouth. I watch her disappear around the corner…and wonder what should I do? Do I go after her now?…
" Georg?" I turn around at the sound of my name. " There you are darling. I was looking all over for you." Elsa says cheerfully.
I force myself to smile at her, knowing that I have no choice but to return to the party. Elsa smiles back at me as she loops her arm through mine.
" It's been such a lovely party…" I hear her start, but don't hear anything else that she says. My mind on Maria and what just happened. Hoping I have the chance to talk to her before the night is over.
