I'm standing on a
bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here
by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the
ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
It was raining. Just great. I had no umbrella, or even a coat. I had no way of getting home. Someone will come find me. Right?
Isn't
anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's
a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you
take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who
you are
but I, I'm with you
Somewhere in the distance, I saw a tall figure striding toward me. He was saying something. I could barely make it out in the middle of the storm, but I think he said…
"Susannah! Oh, Querida!"
It was Jesse! I ran up to him and hugged him with all my might.
I'm looking
for a place
searching for a face
is there anybody here I know
cause nothings going right
and everything's a mess
and
no one likes to be alone
Jesse took me by the hand and brought me back to where his car was parked. He didn't ask any questions. He just drove, occasionally reaching over to run his hand through my hair.
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the
hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but
I, I'm with you
We finally got home. To my house, anyway. Jesse walked me inside, and waited while I changed out of my drenched clothes, making smooth conversation with my mom and Andy, winning him some definite brownie points. Jesse had the charm that even my own mother—who was just recently married—could simply not resist.
Oh why is everything
so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yeah yeah yeah
I finished changing, and I walked back into the family room. Doc and Jesse were caught up in a conversation about some boring book. He glanced at me, and smiled that dazzling smile of his.
It's a damn cold
night

Wont you take me by the
hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but
I, I'm with you
My mom agreed to let Jesse take me back to his apartment just as long as I was back by midnight. "Oh, yes, ma'am, I will have her back." Honestly, he has manners that could make any woman's heart melt. And a heart of gold of his own. Not to mention his abs. And those eyes of his…
Take
me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you
are
but I, I'm with you
I'm with you
We spent the evening cuddling and watching my favorite movies. Jesse laughed at them, but he didn't complain. I have the best boyfriend in the world.
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I
don't know who you are
but I, I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...
About halfway through Pretty Woman, Jesse picked up the remote and turned it off. I gave a quizzical look. "Why—" "Shh," he said. He silenced me with a kiss, and then said, "I love you, querida."
