| She let her head rest on his chest and her hand grip his shoulder lightly as she exhaled deeply. �New cologne?� It was more of a statement then a question. He smiled. It had been almost a year since they had been in this position and for some reason she still knew his scent. Did she have any idea what she was doing to him? �Yeah� I found the sample in the magazine.� He quipped. �I believe that you could be that tactless.� She retorted. �Like I really would think that you actually went out and bought a tux for prom; get real. You stole this out of some old dead man�s coffin.� I�d have to have the strength of ten men To ever resist a love strong as this To not care like I do I�d have to be have to be Superhuman He laughed outright at her remark. �Very cute McPhee.� �I try.� �Seems you�ve actually developed a reasonable sense of humor over the last year.� He retorted spinning her gallantly. �Seems you actually developed something called rhythm.� She responded coming back into his embrace right before being dipped. �You don�t know the half of it.� He remarked his face centimeters away from hers as she looked up at him. I could possess All the greatest powers baby I could hold the world here in my hand And still I would be Powerless to leave you baby Cause your touch is just too sweet And I�m in this love so deep And there they remained for a second as she stared into his blue orbs and saw all that he didn�t say. She could feel all that he was hiding inside and felt her heart stop for just a moment as the realization of what was happening came over her. His eyes� the ones she had stared into so many days and nights so long ago were telling her things that she believed she would never hear again. I�d have to be superhuman Made out of stone Made out of steel Girl to not feel what I�m feeling To not love you babe Love you baby To not love you He knew that she could see all that he didn�t say and as bad as he should have felt he couldn�t seem to find any remorse or regret. All he could do was stare into her and watch as she became aware of his feelings for her. �Seems there might be some truth in that whole curse theory after all� because all I want to do right now is kiss you and I really don�t see how that won�t change things.� He whispered pulling her up. Reaching up he brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear and let his fingers graze her cheek and saw her breath catch in her throat. �Yeah� I really think we have a problem here.� He whispered seeing that all her feelings for him weren�t exactly nonexistent. I�d have to have the strength of ten men To ever resist a love strong as this To not care like I do I�d have to be have to be Superhuman �Pacey� you and I� we�� She stuttered trying to find the right words that could somehow fix this mess that had the potential to become a natural born catastrophe. But before she could speak further Dawson was before them. �Andie�� He called out to her. He knew that he had no reason to be jealous. He knew that overreacting and causing a scene would only make him look bad and hurt her in the process and that was the last thing that he wanted to do. She turned to him with wide bright chestnut eyes. �Dawson�� She breathed out his name like a prayer. He looked at Pacey and then to Andie then back to his once best friend. There was something so familiar about this scene. The anitprom last year flashed through his mind. He saw how Pacey stared at him as though he were committing some bittersweet heroic act. He knew that look but he didn�t want to acknowledge it. �Can I cut in?� He asked turning back to the blonde. Even Hercules wouldn�t have the strength to leave Once he fell under the spell of your kiss So how could I even try Tell me To leave your side say good-bye Baby She nodded staring at Dawson. She felt him take her hand and lace his fingers into her own and begin to lead her away from Pacey. Looking back at her first love she felt her hand leave his a solemn expression on his face. �Thanks for the dance Pacey.� She called back softly. He only stared at her knowing that whatever was between them wasn�t over. Once away from Pacey he turned and wrapped her in his embrace. She held onto him feeling his breathing and his heartbeat. After a moment he pulled back to look into her eyes. �Are we okay?� |
