Song: Gravity
Artist: John Mayer
Characters: David Hodges/Morgan Brody
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh, I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Of The Heart
David leaned back against the wall, letting the music drift around him and the sound of idle chatter fill his ears. He was watching the couples sway on the dance floor, the bride and groom in the middle and looking at each other adoringly. It had been Catherine's idea that Grissom and Sara have a real wedding and with her upcoming departure now seemed like the perfect time.
It had been a long time since he'd been to a wedding and if he was being honest he wasn't a fan of them. Watching couples coo at each other and singles throw back alcohol like it was water wasn't his idea of fun. Sighing he turned his attention to the people seated at the tables on the other side of the room, most of them empty.
Someone did catch his attention though, her blonde hair shimmering under the white light of the chandeliers above them. Morgan twirled her flute of champagne in her hand, lips pursed. David noticed the way his stomach tightened when he saw her, noticing the midnight blue. Knee length dress she wore, showing off her curves and legs. She looked up suddenly, meeting his eyes and offering a half smile that sent a chill through him.
He pulled uncomfortably at his tie as he smiled back. He felt his legs moving but he didn't remember giving them permission, and suddenly he felt panicked as he approached Morgan's table. She was still smiling, leaning back in her chair and watching him.
David stopped in front of her, unsure what he should stay. Even with all the time they spent together he found himself tongue tied.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" he finally asked, cursing himself at the lame question. Without speaking she nodded, looking at the dance floor before sighing. He glanced at her then back at the dance floor.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked as a new song came on, the slow soothing melody wrapping around them. Her smile grew wider and she stood up, taking his outstretched hand falling into step with the others, letting David's hands rest on her waist while hers wrapped around her waist.
"This is a nice wedding," she commented, "Sara and Grissom look so happy together." He chuckled at the comment and pulled her a little closer, the heat from her body oddly comforting.
"They are, they're two of the happiest people I've seen in a while," he admitted. His attention was pulled away from the happy couple when he felt Morgan's head on his shoulder.
"Have you ever wondered why you aren't married yet." she asked suddenly. David was silent for a moment, letting the question sink in.
"I don't have to wonder; I know why," he finally said.
"And why is that?" She asked, looking up at him with twinkling blue eyes
"I just haven't found the right person yet." He told her, shrugging his shoulders, "What about you?" She smiled and laid her head back down as they swayed across the floor and cherished the moment.
"I'm not sure yet, I think I may have found someone. It just might take a little time."
