I'm Waiting For You
Summary: Maddie kept her promise and went to Zach's prom right before leaving for college- and ended up enjoying it more than she expected. What pain did both go through waiting for the other?
Ch. 1 The Prom that Started it All
(Zach's POV)
Spinning you across the floor
My hands holding you by the waist
Seeing that look in your eyes
Gives me strength and confidence
Taller than you now, baby
More manly, more grown up
Deeper voice that shows I'm mature
But I haven't outgrown you, love
Loved you since I met you
Love you now as well
Love your long blonde hair flowing down
Love your happy smile
God, Maddie, when did you decide
You'd treat me as your equal
God, Maddie, when did you change
You'd know I love you more
My heart gives me away
I think I make you nervous
Sorry, Maddie, I can't help it
I love you more than life
This is amazing night is nearly over
The "time of my life" 's death near at hand
Let time slow down for a second
God I beg of thee
How long have I waited for this moment
To finally hold you in my arms
I wish to sing to you, baby
The love song of my heart
The prom's closing up now
Time to bring you home
And never see you again, love
For college you are bound
Don't leave me hanging Maddie
You loved this night too, I know
Give me something to hold onto
While I wait for you
(Maddie's POV)
When did you get tall, Zach?
When did you get so strong?
When did your voice deepen?
And when a man you became?
I love this rush of feeling
You continuously give me
I love you, I admit it now
Those feelings I hid so well
Yes, I loved you when you were12
When 13, 14, and now 15
I can't believe it, Zach
I was 15, 16, 17, and now 18
Such a difference, yes it's odd
But it doesn't seem to matter
You were right, now I see
Now I see the light
Intimidated by you, yes
Scared of what I'm willing to do
Now that I love you
I love you, Zach
Yes, I love you, Zachary Dylan Marin
Love you more than life
Yet fear you more than death
And mortal strife
You control me, I'm all yours
You "Little Blonde Peoples"
Cody- no, just you
(As Estabon would say)
You're not little now, though
God, the night's almost over
This night of revelation
The night before I leave
Damn you, Harvard!
Damn my future!
I love you, Zach
And now I must leave
Let this night be bittersweet
More sweet than bitter, please
Love, Love, Love
You
Prom's over, you're taking me home
Take me to your home
I do not wish to leave you
Now that I love you
(Bold is Zach, Italics is Maddie)
We're almost at your house now
I don't want to leave you
When to my great surprise
Baby, you invite me inside
Just say it, just say it
We're sitting on the couch
Just say it, just say it
I open my mouth nervously
"Zach, I loved tonight" she says
My heart pounds openly
"And I love you"
My eyes widen then
"Maddie… I love you… I always have"
Zach's words make me swoon
I lean up and kiss him
Gently on the lips
She kissed me, she kissed me!
We're kissing on the couch
My body flies ahead of me
My heart tells me what to do
I'll miss you, Zach, my love
I'll miss you, Maddie, my love
