As Good As Dreams

Chapter 5: The Dance
(A/N: This chapter was by far my favorite to date, and like I said, I've written quite a bit of the whole story already. This one even my boyfriend liked, and he's about as romantic as a porcupine. So I hope you enjoy too! This one is also in Travis's POV and the song is by Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill, called "Turn your Lights Down Low" if you couldn't figure it out. So, onward!!)
It was my first break of the day. My students were in gym class and the next forty-five minutes were my own. I looked at my watch and saw that Delilah had about twenty minutes left of hers, so I decided to drop by and say hello.
I walked into the first grade hallway and heard Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill's sultry voices belting our through my friend's open door.
Turn your lights down low,
Never ever try to resist, oh no
Let your love come shining in,
Into our lives again
I quietly leaned in her doorway, watching her sway to the music, behind her desk. Her eyes were closed and her lips, curled into a small smile, were moving in sync to the lyrics of the song.
And in that moment, I realized how beautiful she truly was.
Before I could stop myself, I was walking into the room behind her, and I wrapped my arms around her waist and started dancing with her.
Loving you is like a song I replay
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day
And every chorus was written for us to recite
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
"Travis, you scared me," she opened her eyes and said, but I knew I hadn't. She turned around to face me.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to dance alone." She smiled, and the sparkle in her brown eyes made me smile too.
It's a potion like this ocean that might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard
"Well thank you. You know, Travis, I'm really happy you came here. You're a true friend," and she pulled herself closer to me.
"Me too, Del, me too."
I want to give you some good, good loving
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
Oh I, Oh I, Oh I,
I want to give you some good, good loving
(A/N: Still no new reviews. That makes me sad. No one likes my story. I'm probably going to post one or two more chapters and if still no reviews, I'm going to remove it, possibly forever, so I'm hoping that this chapter changes things. It was quite fluffy. So, I hope you liked, oh what's the point. Review if you want.)
