That day Adrian was sturggling. Trying to think of things he liked about Natalie. He tried to think of something that he wouldn't be embarressed to write. He knew how much she did for him but he didn't want to admitt it and how much she cared he also tried to ignore that.
List about Natalie
Number 1. Natalie comes to work on time that's always a good sign.
Number 2. Natalie hands me my wipes even when I don't ask...but that's a given isn't it?
Number 3. She hasn't left me yet...number 4 number 4 num ber 4 ...no I can't end on a odd number.
After Adrian wrote the last part he erased the number 4 stuff about it not ending on an even number and tried to think but he couldn't. Dr. Bell had said that if he didn't finish by four'o Clock exactly he would have to dance with Natalie.He also couldn't tell her Dr. Bell ordered him to. He would have to ask her to dance with him and it had to be through at least a whole song. It was either that or kissing her which he wasn't about to agree to.
Soon the day was closing in on 3:50 and Adrian still hadn't thought of a decent number four. For the last ten minutes Natalie watching him stare at a hardly writen on sheet of paper. His hand had a pencil in it posed over the paper just waiting to write something. She watched him closely he never blinked he just grew more and more frustrated. Then she suddenly heard him silently counting the ticks. One two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen Right up until he reached sixity.
He looked up his eyes met hers for a moment.Then he shrugged his shoulders and then lowed his head in defeat. Then he silently asked.
" Would you dance with me?" She barly heard him it was a desperate pleading whisper. He really wanted her to dance with him because if she said no he was suppose to kiss her and he didn't want to have to do that. She thought he might be in pain having no one to dance with. Maybe dancing with that lady he had a crush on brought back painful memories and now being without someone in his arms was almost like loosing Trudy again. That was the conclusion that Natalie came up with. She stared at him for a moment studing his pleading expression before she smiled.
" Where's the music?" She asked him he smiled back painfully remembering he had to choose a slow song. A slow song. His heart hammered in his chest he was sure it was because he didn't want to dance with her. He was so sure . Natalie watched him shly cross over to his cabnit he looked through his Aldums and found something he forgot he had. It was an old record the Four Seasons Trudy loved them. The first song on the record made Adrian wince as he remembered Trudy's face when she smiled at him when they first danced as man and wife. He smiled shly at Natalie trying to hide how much he hated this. The music began and Adrian couldn't bring himself to offer his hand to Natalie. Natalie smiled at his shyness. She slowly came up to him she gently took his hand and placed his other hand on her waist Adrian gulped and smiled faintly at her as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
You're just too good to be true.
Natalie
winked at Adrian and he rolled his eyes.
Can't take my
eyes off you.
Then
Natalie bit her lip and tried to look away.
You'd be
like heaven to touch.
Suddenly
it wasn't so funny or teasing anymore
I wanna hold you
so much.
Mr.
Monk had ever so slightly pulled Natalie closer to him.
At
long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I'm alive.
There
were tears formig in Adrian's eyes.
You're just too good
to be true.
Natalie
saw his tears start to fall.
Can't take my eyes off
you.
And she wiped them away
with her two fingers
Pardon the way that
I stare.
Now Mr. Monk's arm was behind Natalie his hand rested on the
small
of her back.
There's nothing else to compare.
Her
arm was now over his shoulder just passed his neck.
The
sight of you leaves me weak.
Natalie's
cheeks boiled into a crimson color.
There are no words
left to speak.
Adrian
tried to open his mouth to say something
But if you feel
like I feel.
Please let me know that it's real.
Suddenly
Natalie leaned her head on his shoulder.
You're just too
good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Adrian unwillingly closed his eyes.
I need you baby,
And
if it's quite all right,
Suddenly Adrian stopped moving.
His
tears so evident in his eyes.
I need you baby
To warm
the lonely night.
His hand left Natalie's as he hugged her
tightly.
I
love you baby.
Suddenly
Mr. Monk stifened.
Trust in me when I say:
He
pulled away from Natalie.
Oh pretty baby,
She
looked confused
Don't let me down, I pray.
Adrian
suddenly realized where he was all he could think was Trudy.
Oh
pretty baby,
Adrian
swiftly walked away.
Now that I found you. Stay.
He walked into his room and locked the door almost robticly.
And let me love you, baby.
Leaving
Natalie frozen in her place.
Let me love you ...
Then he fell there as the music ended completely lost.
