Chapter 17: I Should Tell You part 2

After the police left Mimi and Roger "Roger will you hold me. And never let me go." Mimi asked as the two of them got into bed.

"Always and forever, Mimi. I'll never let you go or leave you ever again."

"Mimi: Kiss me too fiercely, hold me too tight
I need help believing you're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings could not for see
Lying beside you with you wanting me
If just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine...

Roger: Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise,
But you've got me seeing through different eyes,
Somehow I've fallen under your spell
and somehow I'm feeling
It's up that I fell

Both: Every moment, as long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time

Roger: Say there's no future
For us as a pair...

Both: And though I may know,
I don't care
If just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine!
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you...
As long as you're mine..."

And with that for the first time they made love and it was at that moment that Roger knew that Mimi was the one for him.

"I can't believe that we've graduated." Maureen said in her cap and gown.

"Yeah and your really rocking that outfit." Mimi said with laughter in her voice.

"So how are you and Roger doing?" Joanne asked with concern.

"We're doing great." Mimi said with pride and love. "Why do you ask?"

"No reason." Joanne said.

Mimi knew that Joanne was keeping a secret from her. "Joanne what are you not telling me?" Mimi asked.

"No I don't." Joanne said keeping the big secret that Roger had told her to keep from Mimi.

"Joanne?" Mimi asked knowing very well that she was hiding something about Roger from her.

"Mimi there you are. Can I talk to you alone please?" Roger asked with a big grin on his face.

"Is everything ok Roger? Your grinning awful big." Mimi said with laughter.

"You'll see." Roger said with a wink.

"Well we're alone. What is it that you wanted to say to me?" Mimi asked in a flirtatious tone.

"Mimi," Roger knelt down on his knee and held Mimi's left hand into his.

"Your Eyes
As We Said Our Goodbyes
Can't Get Them Out Of My Mind
And I Find I Can't Hide (From)
Your Eyes
The Ones That Took Me By Surprise
The Night You Came Into My Life
Where There's Moonlight
I See Your Eyes

How'd I Let You Slip Away
When I'm Longing So To Hold You
Now I'd Die For One More Day
'Cause There's Something I Should
Have Told You
Yes There's Something I Should Have
Told You

When I Looked Into Your Eyes
Why Does Distance Make Us Wise?
You Were The Song All Along
And Before The Song Dies

I Should Tell You I Should Tell You
I Have Always Loved You
You Can See It In My Eyes"

"Will you marry me Mimi?"

"Yes!" Mimi squealed as she jumped into his arms and together they shared a passionate kiss.
