Can't stop this Thing We've Started
Elizabeth had a tiring day and all she wanted to do was crawl up in bed and have a good night sleep. She was wandering thought the Corridors of the quarters to her own, when she heard music coming from a certain Colonel quarters.
Elizabeth approached his door and knocked quietly. After waiting about a minute or so she was concerned that he might have slipped over in the bathroom or something. Quietly as she could she opened the doors.
John arrived at his quarters early to play a bit of Johnny Cash and Bryan Adams before heading off to bed. He Entered his quite quarters and picked up his Guitar making sure it was intone, he opened up ITunes on his Laptop and Selected the Bryan Adams song ' Can't stop this thing we've started'.
You might stop a hurricane
Might even stop the drivin' rain
You might have a dozen other guys
But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try.
John played with the song down to every chord. He was concentrating hard as he listened to the lyrics. He didn't even hear his door slide open.
Elizabeth Stood just out John's door way watching him play his Guitar with Passion.
I'm goin' one way - your way
It's such a strong way - let's make it our way
Elizabeth moved further into the room quietly as she could as not to disturbed John's playing.
Can't stop this thing we started
You gotta know it's right
Can't stop this course we've plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the brokenhearted
Can't stop this thing we started - no way
I'm goin' your way!
John kept playing unaware that Elizabeth was watching him. When the second verse started he surprised himself and Elizabeth by singing along with the words.
You might stop the world spinnin' round
Might even walk on holy ground
I ain't Superman and I can't fly
But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
I'm goin' one way - your way
It's such a strong way - let's make it our way
As Elizabeth was watching John play the lyrics of the words hit her like a ton of bricks. The last couple of weeks for her and John's life on Atlantis had changed dramatically after been taken over by alien entities, and the apparent kiss they had shared. Everyone had asked weather she remembered anything of her experience but she denied it all, because she did remember. She remembered everything.
Oh - why take it slow
I gotta know
Nothing can stop this thing that we got
John stared at his fingers which were changing chords at the certain time. He remembered back to when he was taken over by the entity. He was screaming so hard at her, but she couldn't hear. No one could.
Can't stop this thing we started
You gotta know it's right
Can't stop this course we've plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the brokenhearted
Can't stop this thing we started - no way
I'm goin' your way!
The song started to fade to the end and John stopped playing his head resting in his hands of defeat and tiredness.
"That was Beautiful" A Voice said. John turned around quickly and Spotted Elizabeth leaning against a pillar in his quarters.
"Uh... Thanks... How long where you standing there?" John asked her.
"The whole song" She Replied, smirking.
"It really was nice."
"Thanks" John said standing and putting his Guitar back on its stand and turned to face Elizabeth.
"So…?" John Said Crossing his arms and putting his weight on his left foot.
"So…" Elizabeth said moving to sit down on the side of his bed facing him.
"Was there something you needed or…?" John said.
"Uh No I just heard some music and came to investigate" She said smiling at him. He grinned back at her with his Boyish Grin. Damn him and his good looks!
"But I must admit I've been thinking a lot about what has happened these last few weeks and Cardwell was right it has been a Nightmare."
"Yeah, it has been but we'll get through it. We always do" John replied. Elizabeth looked at him sadly, Thoughts and Memories were coming back to be fresh in her mind. The kiss that they had shared replayed in her mind like a jumping record. Unable to contain it, she put her head in her hands as the tears slowly slid down her cheeks. Shoe couldn't tell him not know anyway.
"Hey! What's wrong?" John asked walking up to her and crouching down to be Eye level with her.
Elizabeth looked up at him.
"Do you remember?" She asked him almost whispering.
"Every bit of it" he Replied as he sat next to her on his bed.
"Come here." Pulling her into a hug, he let her cry on his shoulder. He pressed a kiss into her hair and pulled her tighter.
"John?" She asked pulling out the hug to face him
"Yeah?"
"Does this change anything?"
"We'll make it work Liz"
"What?"
"That's if you want it to work" John said smiling
"Really?"
"Uh Huh"
"Thank you" She said as he pulled her into another hug
"For What?" He asked
"For giving me a chance"
He smiled at her before pressing a tender kiss to her lips.
They Both new that now they Can't stop this thing they had started.
Oh my god see what my muse has done to me! It has destroyed me! Anyways I know it wasn't as good as I hoped... it sounded better in my head I was on a roll there for a while then it just… stopped!
Anyways the song is "Can't stop this thing we've started" By the sexy Bryan Adams.
