A/N: Very different pace than the first chapter, but this popped into my head and it just seemed to fit here. First ever song-fic, hope you like it.
Chapter 2
Later that night
They walked into the penthouse hand in hand.
"That was some evening, Love." Niles sighed as he draped his coat over the back of the couch. He turned to take CC's wrap.
"What's the matter? You sound almost…sad." CC looked at him with concern.
"I am a bit, actually."
"Why?" CC was concerned. Had she really gone too far? Was he upset with her? "Are you upset or disappointed about our little adventure on the terrace?" She looked into his eyes, and quickly away. She thought he had enjoyed it as much as she had.
"Wh-at? No. Not at all." He picked up her chin and made sure to keep her eyes locked to his. "You could never disappoint me. And I'll never be upset about you showing me just how passionate I've always known you were." He gave her a light kiss on the lips to seal his promise.
Greatly reassured and yet even more confused, CC continued "Then what is it? What's wrong?"
"I didn't get to dance with you. I mean, I really, _REALLY_ liked what we did instead of dancing " he said, winking at her, " but I was so looking forward to dancing with you."
As she listened to him, CC's heart grew. She knew she loved him, and she couldn't deny they were great together, however she wondered if she would ever cease to be amazed by him.
"Well…I have a stereo, and we could move the couch over to the wall there and create our own little dance floor."
She saw in his eyes that he liked the idea as the sadness was immediately replaced by joy. She barely had time to get out of the way before the couch started shifting towards the corner of the room.
"Hey watch it, Bell Boy. I won't be able to dance if you break my neck!"
"Oh shut up you silly witch. Now go and pick something we can move to." He was definitely back!
"Ok, ok, I'm going, I'm going. Sheesh!"
Niles had finished moving the sofa and was enjoying the view she offered as she leaned over her CD collection. He lingered a few more seconds and then started on setting the mood.
"Got it!" she said snapping her fingers, and put the CD in. Niles had lit a few candles and dimmed the lights when she had chosen the track. He watched her glide across the floor to him singing the first verse softly:
There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
He took her in his arms and she kept singing looking into his eyes
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
He kissed her lovingly and held her close, like he was trying to chase the cloud away. He knew the song well, and took up the next verse in his deep baritone voice:
I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay
She smiled at him, knowing that even though these were someone else's words, Niles meant every one of them. They sang the chorus together, and to each other:
And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight
Niles made CC twirl and caught her for the next line:
With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
She looked at him, knowing that there was so much within her that she still had to figure out and loved that she could tell him thanks to the song:
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
Niles understood. He always did.
And as the chorus repeated, he danced with the love of his life across the makeshift dance floor, holding her close and enjoyed every minute of it.
** The song is "Something about the way you look tonight" by Elton John, album "The Big Picture".
A/N: I will hopefully have the next chapter up in the next few days. So keep an eye out! ;)
