The fire crackled violent as the wind whipped into the small cabin. Marie stepped inside, shaking the snow from her cloak. Her eyes adjusted slowly to the light, but even so it didn't take her long to notice the figure sprawled out on the floor. With a gasp Marie slammed the door and ran over to him, arms encircling and lifting his head. How she longs to check his pulse, but afraid to touch him with her bare skin. She stared at this face, watching carefully for signs of him breathing in and out. Slowly his chest rose and fell under her hands and she sighed a small sigh of relief. She lifted her hand and gently shove his hair back, looking down at the rugged face she had missed for so long.
I turned my back you were gone in a flash like you always do,
You've always gone off somewhere else.
And when the phone rang and I thought it was you
And I sprung like a kid who just got out of school but it's almost,
Always never you,
Never you.
How many nights had she sat up waiting to see his face? How many days had she wasted, waiting by the phone for his call? She thought she'd go crazy waiting, till Bobby came along. Bobby, sweet, sweet Bobby. He entertained her, tried to be her friend. She cared for him, but she didn't love him. Not like she did for this man. Not like she always had.
I scream like a child,
My insides went wild
She traced his face tenderly wishing for more than once that the thin layer of gloves didn't separate them. She had loved him almost from the moment she saw him fighting in that cage. She hovered over his face, watching him breath in and out, her breath warm against his face. What would it be like to kiss him, just once? If it was brief could it not hurt him?
And when I'm alone with you,
You make me feel
And you make me feel.
When I'm alone with you,
You are the one
And you are the one.
She thought about all the time she'd felt closer to him then anyone else and he'd disappear on a trip. She thought about how excited she was to dance with him the night left, how she was planning on staying up all night catching up with him, but he left. Did he even care how much her heart twisted every time he stepped out that door? Did it matter to her now with him, cradled in her arms?
And when I reach out and I only grab air
And it kills me to think that you never did care
And it's hopeless
You've always run off somewhere else
A single frustrated tear leaked from her eye. How could he be so stupid? Could he not see how much she loved him? How much she ached for his touch?
I'm throwing a tantrum.
Why are you such a phantom?
Abruptly she leaned in closing the distance between them, lips touching lips.
And when I'm alone with you,
You make me feel
And you make me feel.
When I'm alone with you,
You are the one
And you are the one.
Warm starburst against her lips, fireworks in her head, enough to take her breath away in surprise. She could see him in her mind, her powers forgotten at the site of him turning in surprise to face her.
And when I'm alone with you,
You make me feel
And you make me feel.
When I'm alone with you,
You are the one
And you are the one.
She launched herself at him, flinging herself into his arms and kissing him with more passion then she'd felt in her whole life. And for a moment the world was perfect as he kissed her back.
Reminds me of home when you're around me.
Next time you leave, don't go without me.
She could feel her body mold against his, her power kicking into gear, slowly sucking the life and breath from him.
No, don't go. No. Yeah!
She jerked her head away, tears streaming down her face. To be so close to paradise and to lose it all, it was too much.
You make me feel,
You make me feel,
You are the one,
You are the one.
He gasped for air, sputtering as his own healing abilities washed out away the drowsiness of the pills. Regaining his breath, he shifted his attention to the sobbing form to his right.
When I'm alone with you,
You make me feel
And you make me feel.
When I'm alone with you
You are the one
And you are the one.
Marie? He lifted his hand to reach out towards her. Marie.
Oh, oh, owoah. Oh yeah.
oh oh, uh uh, oh oh, uh uh, oh oh, uh oh,
oh oh, uh uh, oh oh, uh uh, oh oh, uh oh,
oh oh, o o, oh oh, o o, oh oh, ohoooo, oh ay
He didn't know why she was here, but he was glad. He placed his hand on her leg, startling her out of her sobs.
And when I'm alone with you,
You make me feel
And you make me feel.
Their eyes locked with so many words unsaid echoing between them.
