a/N: I wanted to add a lil shout-out....Miss Lizzy Bennet. thanks so much for the awesome reviews.
"Miss Daniels," Eddie interrupts our kiss tapping Chels on the shoulder, any other time I would be pissed but this was a bit of my plan at least.
She giggles, enveloping me in a hug before turning and in all the seriousness she could muster," Yes," her voice cracked, she cleared her throat trying again , "Yes, Mr Thomas"
He extended his hand, offering it to her. "one sec, " she said,before turning her attention back to me," Rae," she whispered, searching my eyes.
"yeh baby?"
She pulled me so close, burying her face in my neck as she gently weeps. I look at Eddie and shake my head, and he gives me a look, then points to his watch. I just mouth " I know, just trust me," I run my fingers through my baby's silky hair. He nods," cd?" " I nod a little not wanting to be too obvious, " please,"
as the first few notes fill the air, the "star" light reflecting off of her perfect porcelain skin as she cups my face in her hands leaning back just far enough for us to look into each other's eyes,
(Annie Lennox- Cold)
Come to me Run to me
Do and be done with me
( cold cold cold)
Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
( cold cold cold)
Tears form in her eyes, and my heart aches,"baby?"
"no, it's Rae....I mean...it's so...you're so....."she lets out a big sigh," perfect, I love you more than you could ever imagine."
Tears burn my own eyes , as I instinctively try to blink them away," I think I do, Chels, " I wrap my arms around her waist just as she's draped hers around my shoulders," if it's anywhere near...anything like I feel I do, and besides. How could I spend a moment with you and not know you love me. It's in everything you do, say, every kiss, each touch . Ya know something?"
"hmm?"
"it only makes me love you more, I can't wait to start our forever "
Everything I possess given with tenderness
wrapped in a ribbon of glass
time it may take us but God only knows
how I've paid for those things in the past.
"I don't want one more second of my life to go by," I continue as she wipes my tears with her thumbs as she cups my face in her hand," I don't want a second to go by without you in it Chelsea Ophelia Daniels"
"Baxter" she smiles so sweetly.
"hmm?"
"Chelsea Ophelia Baxter?" She gives me a look of " oh seriously Rae cmon"
"Yes, Chelsea Ophelia Baxter" we lean our foreheads together, " I love you."
"well not offficially Baxter maybe , but in my heart, It's been for a while,"
I smile kissing her tenderly ," soon , believe Chels soon."
" I know baby."
Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
( I start to softly sing the next line) "I could be so content, hearing the sound of your breath
Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight
that falls from the heavenly skies.
Catch me and and let me dive under
for I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.
I hear and feel her gasp a little ," oh baby"
I run my fingers through her hair staring into her deep dark eyes.
I want to be with you
baby
oh
slip me inside of your heart.
Don't I belong to you baby
don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now
come on now
come on now
telling you that I loved you right from the start.
Our lips meet once more in a sweet but powerful kiss. The music continues to play out, but I barely hear it, for our breathing and the beating of our hearts, and I know ours is the greatest love story and it's only just begun.
Winter has frozen us
let love take hold of us
(cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
blue ice is glittering
(cold cold cold)
Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight
that falls from the heavenly skies.
Catch me and and let me dive under
for I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.

"AHEM, Miss Daniels I'm so sorry but ," Eddie interrupted again, looking at his watch.
"oh Right," She reached up taking his hand and glancing over her shoulder at me," Baby, I'll be right back...." she looked at him and back to me a couple of times," won't I?"
I squeezed the hand I was still holding gently," better be," I laughed," yes baby."
"ok, Mr Thomas ," she stood up tall, " Lead the way," she started to link her arm through his."
"Chels,"She stopped turning in her tracks,"One sec," I looked at Eddie, he made a face," seriously it won't take long k?"
I take her face into my hands," baby?"
"yeh," she wrinkles her eyebrows a little,"what is it Raven?"
"I just, I love you baby," I lean my forehead against hers.
"I know baby ," I love YOU.'
" more than...well more than ...more"
She giggles," I love you more than more too baby" we share a tender kiss and as she walked away with Eddie, I could only catch my breath and stare, watching her walk away.
