[never let] go

[Sky]

"Well, mine comes in two parts." Seth said, eyeing the men as they set up. He took a small sip of wine and wiped his mouth lightly with a napkin.

"Why don't you decide, since you are the lady, who goes first then?"

[potter_fan122]

((I have to think of a surprise. =P ))

Alice smiled and slid out of her chair. Holding out her pale hand, she gave a small curtsey.

"Would you do the honor of dancing with me, sir?" She asked, letting her French accent come through. She had been raised in France, after all.

[Sky]

Seth grinned.

"Oui oui madam." He replied, once he got out of his seat and pushed his chair in. He bowed politely and then accepted her hand. "Part one of my surprise is that I learned how to dance." He said softly.

[potter_fan122]

Alice squezzed Seth`s hand, grinning.

"Really? That`s great! Now I won`t have to go easy on you." She winked and pulled him closer, putting her arms over his shoulders. "So, what kind of dance did you learn?"

[Sky]

((>_<))


"Hmm, well I didn't learn a whole lot. I learned to keep rhythm though and to not keep staring at my toes. My Mother said that I need to feel the music, not just hear it." He placed his hands on either side of her waist.

"I think the typical slow dance would do. I think they're going with something slow."

[potter_fan122]

Alice smiled and started to sway back and forth. As if on cue the band started up, soon followed by the man at the piano. He had a soft, silky voice, and more couples stood up to dance as the song went on.

"Well, that`s still good. Not staring at your toes is a good place to start." She teased lightly.

[Sky]

Seth nodded.

"I thought so." He said, his lips curving into a crooked smile. He stared into her brilliantly blue eyes as the music played and the man sang. This was a moment he would remember for years to come. He never felt so happy, bubbly. He just felt light, like all other luggage and issues were gone.

[potter_fan122]

Alice looked up into Seth eyes and realized that she felt... happy. Everything felt right, for once. It didn`t matter what had happened in the past, or what she had done after he left. All that mattered was now. In this one moment.

"I love you, Seth." She whispered softly, still staring up into his eyes.

[Sky]

Seth lifted his hand to tuck a piece of hair behind Alice's ear.

"I love you too." He whispered back. "Alice..., I've changed so much since I've been away. I mean...I'm different. My whole outlook on everything has changed." He sighed softly. "I was such a jerk to you. I was incredibly selfish and I'm so so sorry that I was. I thought too much about what I thought was best, instead of what you thought. I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart and soul. This heart beats for you and only you and I want to be the man that makes you happy. Will you, Miss Alice Brokehart, please marry me?" The words he spoke were soft and tender. Sincere.

[potter_fan122]

((>.<))

Alice`s smiled slowly grew, and she didn`t even notice when she stopped dancing. He was asking to marry her? Just five hours ago she thought that she would never see him again, and now she had the chance to spend the rest of her eternity with him.

"Yes." She answered, nodding. "I will marry you." She pulled him closer and kissed him passionately, not caring if anyone saw. She was happy.

[Sky]

((The song below was covered by Michael Bublé. I started getting lazy because my browser deleted what I wrote about 3 times....))


Seth pulled back and stroked her cheek.

"I promise. I won't ever leave you again. I won't be the jerk that I was." He was just about to kiss her when he realized that the music had stopped. People were watching and clapping. Even Mr. Bublé had his focus on the couple with a smile on his face.

"This next song goes out to the two lovers below." He said and then his fingers danced along the keys of the ivory and ebony piano.

Though they were in Paris, who knew if the crowd understood. But Seth did. He turned a lighter shade of red as he looked around at the people watching and then at Alice. The music started and he was just standing there. But then he grinner nervously and took her hand, placing the other around her waist. Staring into her eyes.

"Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I say would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
If I can't help falling in love with you

If I can't help falling in love with you."

[potter_fan122]

Alice noticed the silence first. It was kind of hard not to; when you had excellent hearing and suddenly everything was was much quiter, you tended to notice. She looked around, and she would have blushed if she could. Giggling softly she looked back up at Seth.

"You weren`t a jerk." She said softly, smiling up at him, "I was the one backing off and being rude all of the time. She started to do a simple waltz to the beat of the sweet song.

"I love you." She added softly, not caring that tons of people were trying to listen in on their conversation right now. "Always have, always will."

[Sky]

"No, I was. And I never will be again."

He danced to the waltz with her, people following their lead.  "Forever and always." He whispered. Despite all of the people surrounding them, twirling and spinning to the song, Seth just saw Alice, his world. It was all he was aware of.

[potter_fan122]

Alice rolled her eyes, but smiled widely.

"Forever..." She repeated softly, her eyes going distant. One of the last big arguments was the fact that Alice would live forever and Seth wouldn`t. She would have to think about that. She wasn`t going to let Seth die or grow older while she never changed.

[Sky]

Seth knew what Alice was thinking. He knew that look in her eyes. But he wouldn't question her or talk about changing. But someday, that conversation would have to arise again. He danced with her silently until the song finished and everyone was clapping.
