A/N - This is heavy on the fluff and the cheese and the lovey dovey stuff too but whatever lol, it's a songfic! I also think this is a beautiful song and that Carrie Underwood is one of the best things to come out of the reality music TV show era that we now live in. Beautiful voice. Of course the song belongs to her etc etc. Anyways, here you go...

I would bet my life like I bet my heart
That you were the one, baby
I've never been so sure of anything before
You're driving my heart crazy

I can't hold out
I can't hold back now
Like I've done before

Stephanie sat in a daydream, her mind wandering from the various scripts and paperwork littering her messy desk to the place that always made her smile. She could picture him completely, from the scuff of his shoes right the way up to his golden blonde hair. His image was burned into her memory for when she wasn't physically with him; he was always in her mind and more importantly, in her heart. Their romance had taken both of them by surprise. But when they allowed themselves to explore their newfound feelings, they had only fallen harder. Stephanie knew in her heart that he was the one. She'd never been so sure of anything in her life. He made her laugh, he gave her comfort, he practically worshipped the ground she walked on. Every time her eyes met his she saw such a depth of emotion looking back, a depth of emotion that scared her in the beginning, it scared her to think somebody could love her that much. But that quickly passed and she embraced it because she knew she felt exactly the same way for him. She loved him. She loved him with every fiber of her being and with every beat of her heart. He was her soulmate.

Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to

I tell myself I'm in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Every time you look at me

They rolled around playfully on the bed, lips and hands roving everywhere. Stephanie half chuckled half sighed as he nuzzled her bare stomach with his stubbly chin. His lips moved up wards, kissing a delicate line from her abdomen, over the swell of her breasts to her neck and finally her lips. They kissed a lovers kiss, tongues winding and hearts full. When he pulled back and looked her dead in the eye, she felt her heart catch in her throat. His beautiful brown eyes were everything all at once; affection, tenderness, desire, love. It literally took her breath away and she swore it was times like these, when he was so close, when their bodies were pressed together in the precious moments before they joined as one and when he was looking at her the way he was looking at her right now, that she fell in love with him all over again.

How do you do that, babe?
Make me feel like I'm the only girl alive for you
I don't know what it is that makes me fall like this
First time in your arms, I knew

The way you held me
I knew that this could be
What I've been waiting to find

His peaceful and even breathing was soothing as her head rose and fell on his chest. Her fingers lightly ran up and down the smooth skin of his side, her leg planted firmly between his. She breathed him in deeply, loving his distinct masculine smell. She loved everything about him. From the moment he took her in his arms without the cameras there for the world to see she knew they had something special. She felt it in the way he held her so tightly, as if he never wanted to let her go. And all this time later she still felt it. They had a connection that was just magical. It's like he was a part of her and her of him. When he looked at her, when he touched her, his eyes lit up with his love, showing her and anybody around them just how much he cared. He was her Prince Charming. He was her fairytale come to life. He was what she had been searching for. He belonged to her just as she belonged to him.

Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to

I tell myself I'm gettin' in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Every time you look at me
Every time you look at me

The soft moonlight crept through the window, illuminating two figures wrapped together in the sheets of the bed. Stephanie continued to stroke his skin, just enjoying being in his arms while he slept. A muffled groan broke the peaceful silence in the room. She watched as his eyes slowly fluttered open, immediately locking on to hers and softening upon seeing her.

"Hey," he smiled still half asleep.

"Hey," she smiled back, shuffling to one side so she could see him better. Her hand rose to caress his jaw as she looked at him tenderly. "What did you wake up for? Go back to sleep baby," she hushed, leaning closer to kiss his waiting lips. Their mouths fused together for a few passionate moments until they slowly broke apart.

"Now why would I go back to sleep if you're going to kiss me like that?"

They both chuckled lowly before falling into a serene silence. Stephanie cuddled back into him and watched as he gazed out at the moonlit sky. His expression was completely relaxed, his big hand palming her bare hip. Once again she felt that all familiar catch in her throat. He looked so perfect and she was so in love with him. "Paul?" she asked quietly and then brought her hand to his face once again to pry his eyes from the window when he didn't respond. "Look at me."

Her hushed voice sent a shiver down his spine. Paul turned and caught her gaze, feeling a slight tug in his chest. She was so beautiful. "What is it?"

"I love you."

Those three little words sent a ripple through his heart. Her big blue eyes were gazing at him tenderly and his expression grew soft as he leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss on her lips. He pulled back to look at her one final time before rolling to his back and tugging her on top of him. "I love you too," he mumbled against her lips as they once again succumbed to each other and gave in to their endless passion.
