NOTES: Due to the great response to my fic 'Head over Feet'
I decided to go ahead and write the sequal to it. So
for all those people who gave me positive feed back
this is for you...I don't own the song 'Dreamin' Of
You'. It belongs to Celine Dion.
Cordelia finished a slice of pizza and slouched in
her seat.
Angel studied her. "It's late. Doyle, Cordelia's
tired. Could you take her home? The two of you should
get some rest."
Doyle nodded and got up from his chair. "No, I
don't mind." He turned to Cordelia. "You ready?"
She slowly climbed to her feet. "Yeah...night
Angel."
Angel waved her away. "I'll see you in the
morning."
Cordelia smiled and pulled her coat on. "See you."
She walked out to Doyle's car shuffling her feet.
"So..."
Doyle glanced at her. "So..." He got in the car.
Cordelia followed suit and sat down. She looked at
her hands as they drove to her house.
Doyle parked in front of her apartment and got out.
He walked her to her door and stood awkwardly.
She stood just as awkward. Was he going to kiss
her? He was allowed.
Doyle waited for Cordelia to incline that she still
wanted to be with him but she stood silent. He
couldn't think of anything to say to her. For the
first time ever he was uncomfortable around her and he
didn't like that feeling. Especially when she was
involved. Finally he did what he felt necissary. He
asked. "Do you want me to kiss you good-night?"
She shrugged not wanting him to think she was
stupid. "If you want."
"I want to if you want to."
Cordelia shrugged again. "I don't care."
"I'm going to kiss you then." Doyle said but
neither moved closer. They both stood staring at each
other.
Cordelia crossed her arms and waited. Nothing. She
sighed. "This is wierd."
Doyle nodded his agreement. "I know. I want to but
I...I feel wrong about it."
Cordelia took a step away from him. "It feels like
when I kissed Wesley. All wrong...maybe we should..."
"Should...?"
"Not do this. Forget we kissed. I think we were
better as friends. I felt right about it."
Doyle felt a pang in his heart but she may be
right. He had felt more comfortable earlier. "Maybe
you're right."
"Friends?" she asked uncertainly.
Doyle nodded. "Yeah...I'll see you later..."
Cordelia nodded back. "Okay..." She went into her
apartment closing the door. She listened to him in the
hall. It was better this way. She changed into her
pajama's sadly. It didn't feel better. She had found
something special and once again chickened out, but
she couldn't take it back. Doyle had agreed it was
better when they were just friends. Was she
disappointing to kiss? Was that why he thought that?
Had she not lived up to his expectations?
She turned out the light and crawled into bed. "No
more thinking about him." she scolded herself. She had
a long day at the office tomorrow and she needed her
sleep but every time she was about to drift off he
invaded her thoughts.
Why hadn't he kissed her? Had she botched up
another relationship? As much as she didn't want to
admit it she wanted to be with him. She did like him
but was it too late? Did he return her affection?
She rolled in her bed restlessly.
Was he thinking of her right now?
*Lyin' in my bed
Thoughts in my head
Visions of you
But I can't get through the night*
She sighed rolling over again. She hugged her
pillow and fought tears. "I want him." she whispered
to no one. "Why didn't he stop me?" A tear slid down
her cheek. "I wanted him to kiss me." She wimpered
angrilly. "What's wrong with him?!" She sniffled. "He
should be home by now...I could call him. I could
confront him and maybe..." She snatched up the phone.
She dialed his number and waited. It rang and rang. No
one answered.
*So pick up the phone
I know you're home
You're playin' with my heart
And you know that it just ain't right*
Cordelia slammed the reciever down. She flopped
onto her bed with a sigh. She fell back into her
pillow exasperated.
*It's just a game of love, love, love
And even though it's hard, baby
I can never give you up*
Cordelia glared at the cieling. "Dennis,he didn't
kiss me." She pouted. "I should be hating him right
now for being a bad date but..." She punched her
pillow. "When he did kiss me it was so good. I can't
stay mad at a charming Irishman that can kiss like
that. Maybe he's just shy? Maybe her really did want
to." She closed her eyes remembering how good it felt
when he first kissed her.
*You're the one I'm dreamin' of
I can't live without your love
Tonight
And it's you that I adore
You're the one that I live for
Inside
Of you, I'm dreamin' of you*
Doyle sat in his car fuming. "You blew it, man. She
wanted you. She kissed you and you blew it." He
punched the seat. "I'm such an idiot!" He started the
engine. "Maybe it's better this way. Maybe I do only
like her as a friend."
He drove down the road and switched on the radio.
The song that blared through the speakers was the one
he and Cordelia had sung to Angel on his birthday.
Some crazy eighties song. Doyle flicked it off
angrilly and threw the car into park in the middle of
the road.
*So I got in the car
But I didn't get far
'Cause the radio played
Every song that I sang with you*
Doyle sat there indecisively. He wanted to go back
and kiss her like she deserved to be kissed but would
she want him to? Had she meant what she said about
just being friends? It was killing him not knowing.
*Yesterday's gone
And it may be true
But you know that
I'll never get over you*
Doyle groaned in frustration. "What should I do?!"
He slumped his head to the steering wheel. "God, I
want her but what if she doesn't like me? Is she just
leading me on or does she want me like I want her?" he
asked no one in particular.
*It's just a game of love, love, love
And evn though it hurts me baby
I can never give you up*
**********
Cordelia let out another long sigh. Her thoughts
were interrupted when there was a knock at the door.
She felt her blood swirl frantically in her viens. She
had it bad. Was it him? She knew it was. She swung
open the door.
Doyle stood looking at her with longing eyes.
Nothing needed said.
She stepped to him and he pulled her close in one
motion. Their lips crashed together with an urgency
that made her weak in the knees.
*Cause you're the one I'm dreamin' of
I can't live without your love
Tonight
And it's you that I adore
You're the one that I live for
Inside
Of you, I'm dreamin' of you*
Doyle pulled away realizing she was in her night
wear. Breathlessly he asked. "That's all you sleep in?
You'll catch a cold."
Cordelia looked at her skimpy nightgown. "Not if
there's someone else's body heat beside me I won't."
Doyle wrapped her in his arms. "Can I be that some
one?"
Cordelia let him lay her down in her bed. "Yes."
she whispered into his throat.
*You, you gave me love
Love gave us hope and strength
To carry on and
You, you gave me faith
When I was fallin' down
You would pick me up, my love*
Doyle held her close to him and pulled her blankets
over them both. He ran his hands over the silky
pajama's covering her hips.
Cordelia hugged around his waist. "I like this."
Doyle kissed her hair inhaling her scent. "I do
too."
*You're the one I'm dreamin' of
I can't live without your love
Tonight
And it's you that I adore
You're the one that I live for
Inside
Baby, baby, baby, baby*
Cordelia leaned her head tiredly against the
pillows. "Don't ever believe me when I say something
that stupid again."
Doyle kissed her cheek. "Agreed. And don't let me
ever walk away like that without kissing you."
Cordelia closed her eyes and held onto him tightly.
I won't. I like it too much...this is a nice way to
wake up for work."
Doyle took a last look at his princess before
closing his eyes. "It's a nice way to fall asleep too.
Knowing you're right here beside me."
*You're the one I'm dreamin' of
I can't live without your love
Tonight
And it's you that I adore
You're the one that I live for
Inside
Baby
I'm dreamin' of you*
Cordelia drifted off to sleep in a state of bliss.
It payed off to be sensitive every once in awhile.
Doyle's breathing slowed and matched her own as he
fell asleep in her arms. Things were finally all
right.
