Summary : Sheridan and Luis are in it – if you love them and you’re done reading all the other fan fictions, just read this one…it’ll keep you occupied. I hate my fan fictions, they do nothing for me, but it could be because I write them.
About the Title : It’s the title of the Faith Hill/Tim McGraw song…and I used it because I use the lyrics and the songs nice.
Holding her in his arms he moved her side to side with grace. This was their dress rehersal. Suddenly the music stopped. “Sheridan…” Luis tapped his index finger against his chin thinking, “Are you sure you want to play this game…I mean, aren’t we a little…well, old?”
“LUIS!” Sheridan sighed, “We’ve been through this…you won’t let me go out… so I’m bringing the outside fun, into my little wee-living room.”Sheridan stepped up and she opened up the chest she brought out. “When I waslittle-little we used to play dress up. It was fun…and sometimes your momwould play with me and Ethan. See this dress?” Sheridan pointed to a redand black frilly thing, “It was my favorite…10 sizes too large to me when Iused to wear it, but…yeah…anyway, one day ethan and I were playing somegame…I ripped it…cried my eyes out for two days, then your mother came inand she was like, ‘sheridan…I can fix it.’ And she did. She made me thehappiest little girl in the world…anyway, now I think I can fit it…and youcan fit that…and say you can’t, it’s in a size larger in that bag in there…I’m taking this to get changed. Be ready in 10 minutes.”
Luis sighed as he tried to take everything she said in. “She’s crazy…”he laughed. He didn’t want to admit it to her, but he was looking forward to playing dress up…he thought it might be fun, he needed a break from thislife he was living anyway. He got changed finally.
He finished lighting the last candel and she entered. He looked at her and the dress, well it fit! It was very fitted and it outlined her curves ever so nicely. He grinned, “It fits well – you look great!”
Sheridan blushed, “The costume fits you, too, I see…” Luis looked smashing in that Spanish attire…that white shirt that was half open looked so sexy and made her swoon. Her heart skipped beats as he reached for herhand.
“m’lady.” He smiled, “if we play dress up, we have to have names…”
“You be Johnny…” She paused, “It’s classic, and it’s perfect for you! You could pass as a johnny…”
“I was tempted to call you Baby…” he chuckled, “Y’know, Johnny and Baby from Dirty Dancing…” he blushed at the realization of what he had just said.They were dancing and dirty dancing was based on a teacher-studentdance-lesson love affair…hmmm…Luis thought. He quickly pushed the thoughts out of his head, “Sheridan you be…Belle.”
“Like from Beauty and the Beast?”
“You look like Belle…with blonde hair…if your hair werent blonde, you’dlook like belle.” Luis eyed her.
“I look like a Cartoon?” Sheridan glarred.
“Hey! Belle’s hot!” Luis shot back.
Sheridan blushed at the remark but loved the fact that he kind of toldher she was hot…and he didn’t need to be told how sexy hewas…because…whoa…he was sexy.
Luis broke the silence as he turned on the music, “Belle, do me the honour of sharing this dance with me?”
Sheridan grinned, he was actually playing with her, “Certainly sir.”
The music began and they swayed and they dipped and they did their sexy little teases to each other. Dancing so close they could feel each others heart beat. “Belle, you are a beautiful lady…” Luis whispered, smiling.
“Johnny, you are but a handsome man with wonderful feet that will one day sweep a lady away…” They laughed at their game and they continued toplay.
Their dance finally ended and they were laughing from their made up dialogue. “I’ve always loved acting…” Sheridan sighed, sitting on the couch.“Luis, could we still play…I mean…”
“Why not, what else is there to do? Watch someone else play our game on television?” Luis picked her up, “what do you want to dance to?”
“Lemme see what else is in the cd player…” she put it on disc 3 and then random and all of a sudden she heard the opening bars… “This is one ofmy very favourite songs.”
“What is it?” Luis asked placing his hands on her shoulders. She felt them there and it made her quiver. She knew she liked Luis and from every additional minute she was with him, her fear and doubt in him seemed to drift further. Even the thought of what he said at the wharf, now seemed just that. A thought. He wouldn’t have said it…and she wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen it. But now she was more convinced than ever that she or someone was playing tricks on her. She had been known to dothat. Confuse herself. No, she didn’t believe it anymore. But she’d confront him about it later. Not now, she was having too much fun.
“You want to know why I love this song?”
“I want to know a lot of things about you Sheridan…” Luis said sweetly.
“I’ve waited and yearned for all of my life for someone to tell me they loved me and really mean it.” She began telling him this as she pulled him up and they began to dance cheek to cheek as she told him her dreams in his ear.
The song began to play…
If I could win your heart
If you'd let me in your heart
I'd be so happy, baby
Just for these arms to be
Holding you close to me
There's nothing in this world I won't try
No limit to what I'd do to make you mine, 'cause
“Luis, all I really ever wanted in my whole entire is for that man,that perfect man that will swoop me up on my feet…make my eyes twinkle make me smile…have great big arms that have a great hold on me…to wake up in them morning and see his facing with the sunlight beaming on it…to be downstairs in my kitchen sipping on a cup of coffee and have him come up from behind meand wrap his big warm arms around me and kiss me and tell me he loved me…and then having that perfect little daughter running in and screaming for us to include her, too…” Luis heard the passion in her voice and felt her squeeze him tighter when she became more into the story.
I'd climb right up to the sky
I'd take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'd go and capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me
Luis realized his feelings for Sheridan before…long before. Even when she pushed him away he still realized he liked her, a lot. But hearing the words to the song…he felt heartwarmed. He realized he would do anything for Sheridan. He’d die for her, he needed her. He would do anything for her to see her happy…and the truth being, if he ever heard her say she loved him, he’d be in heaven. If they were ever together, like truly together, it would be the highest point in his life, and he knew it. He wanted her now,more than ever before…being this close to her body and hearing her wish of a love and a life with a family – he loved to hear her talk about her maternal instincts…he knew it now…he knew the words to describe his need to protect her…and he could now answer everyone one of her questions : he loved her.Why did he do it? He loved her. It was the answer that he couldn’t come up with earlier, but now he knew it…he knew it alright…and now it was impossible to deny it…which scared him…
If I could taste your kiss
There'd be no sweeter gift
Heaven could offer baby
Oh, baby
I want to be the one
I want to be the one
Living to give you love
I'd walk across this world just to beR
Close to you 'cause I want you close to me, yeah
I'd climb right up to the sky
I'd take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'd go and capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me
Sheridan moved her head back and she smiled at him, “it’s all I really want Luis…” She sighed and he felt it. He saw the passion in her eyes, the passion he knew she held for him. It hadn’t been a secret thatshe shared the same interest as he…he knew she felt something for him, theirdates before…something had stopped her, and now he needed to know what,before he would…could grant any of her wishes.
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
Love me for the rest of all time
Oh baby, baby
Just say the word
And I'll give you my world
There's nothing I won't do
Baby, just to be with you
I'd climb right up to the sky
I'd take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'd go and capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me, baby
Just to hear you say that you love me
Oh, I need to hear you say that you love me, baby
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just say you love me
Just say you need me
Just to hear you say that you love me
“Sheridan…” Luis pulled back, “I need to know something…”
“Yeah?” She whispered.
“Why did you leave for Paris…?”
“I believed something I don’t believe now…because Luis…” She paused, “I believe in you…and I trust you with my life now…and I’m sorry…” She suddenlybecame so emotional and she didn’t know why. She felt so bad for the hurtthey both endured…when she knew all along they could’ve lived happily ineachothers arms.
“what did you believe that you don’t believe now?”
“Oh.” She paused, “I heard someone who sounded just like you saying that you were using me…but I’m sure it was all in my head now…because Iwouldn’t ever believe that, Luis you have to believe me that I’d neverbelieve that anymore…never…”
“Using you?” Luis touched her cheek sweetly, “I’d never use you…I care for you too much to…”
“Luis, I’m sorry I’ve caused so much grieft and trouble for you…for both of us, when all this time it wasn’t even necisary.”
Sheridan sighed asshe touched his hand on her cheek, “please…you know how we were before Ibecame stupid?”
“you weren’t stupid and you’re not stupid…and I know how we were…”
“I want to be like that again…I want to be with you like thatagain…Luis…you know just spending all that time together…on dates…”
“I’d love to be on dates with you, but now we can’t leave the house…”
“It’s okay, Luis…I mean where do you think we would come after dates?”Sheridan blushed at her implication, “I mean, we can have just as much funhere…like carpet picnics…or y’know…we can have fun together here.”
“I’d love to date you again.” He paused, “You know that song that wejust danced to?”
“I love that song…” Sheridan glowed excitedly remembering the song.
“It’s a beautiful song. I like it.”
“I can relate to it…”
“I can too…”
“You can?”
“Did you say you could?”
“I can…” Sheridan smiled, “I really can…”
“Sheridan…you know that I’d do anything for you…” Sheridan sat theiranticipating the words that she wanted to flow through his mouth, “and Sheridan I care so much about you…and all I want to do is spend my time withyou…whether it be fighting or something on a happier note…and Sheridan, Iknow I feel that word for you at times…and soemtimes I don’t know what Ifeel…but I want you to know when I say it I’m going to mean it…I’m not goingto just say it to make you happy…but I would love for you to be happy…but Ican’t say it so you’ll be happy…because that’s something that could make youhappy for a second and not forever thinking it oculd have been said to makeyou happy.” Luis paused and smiled, “I feel like the father of the Bradys…”
“I understand, Luis…I do…but I want you to know I’m only going to sayit when I mean it…and I mean it when I say I love you Luis, I mean it…I meanit…and Luis…I love you with every bit of my heart and I love you…and I knowLuis, I know you love me too…because…”
Luis nodded. “I do…I do love you…but sheridan…we fight so much…we…”
“we’re perfect together Luis…I’m only happy, truly happy with you…you’re telling me you don’t enjoy are fights? Just a little? I mean if we fightwe can always…”
Luis looked at Sheridan funny. “What?” Sheridan asked.
“I’m sorry, I just really want to kiss you…”
“Pardon?”
“I’m asking permission to kiss the woman I love.”
“Okay…please…” Sheridan smiled as their lips met. They’re kisse begansweet and slow and it continued in growing passion and now it had ignited afire that began to grow with love and heat. They’re kisses were becoming toheated to stay at their lips, Luis began kissing her neck with sweet andslow love. Sheridan was in ecstacy feeling Luis’ lips upon her skin.“Luis?” Sheridan asked breaking a kiss.
“yesh,” Luis mermered.
“I need you to make love to me.”
He caught his senses and sat up, “are you sure?”
“Did you mean it when you told me you loved me?”
“I did…yeah…” Luis paused, “Of course I love you…” he held her hand andkissed it.
“Well then Luis, please show me it…” she moaned.
Luis said nothing then, but took her hand and put her finger in hismouth and used his tongue to play with it…he then picked her up and movedher into her bedroom. He lay her down and strip off her dress and rip offhis costume and he lay down next to her naked body. “If I show you my love,I’m going to show you all of it.” He grinned as he kissed her fully on thelips, they began moving in a rhythmitic motion and soon he requestedentrance of his tongue and she happily obliged and took it into her mouthand teased it with her own, soon he withdrew his mouth and moved down toplant sweet butterfly kisses on her neck.
Soon he found her breast, hard with arousal and soft after being pressed against him for so long. Hetouched them lightly and played with them with his fingers but soon heplaced them in his warm mouth where it met it’s destiny with his tongue.Sheridan moaned in heaven as she racked her nails into Luis’s arms and back.Luis finally saw that she was ready he kissed her mouth one last time as hesteadied himself over her. He checked her eyes and saw desire and love. “Ilove you so much…” She smiled as she touched his cheek. “I love you tooSheridan…” He knew it was time he slowly lowered himself in between herthighs. Slowly he took himself in and out of her as she bit her bottomlip…and later they would reach a new spiritual world, together.
Sheridan woke up in the morning and she felt the big warm arms aroundher. She kissed the thumb and turned herself…she slowly traced out his faceand kissed his nose. “Making love with you…and telling you that I lovedyou…were the two smartest things I’ve ever done…because now I love you morethan ever and ‘I love you’ doesn’t begin to describe the feelings.” Shesmiled and stood at her door and saw the sun beam upon his face. She sighedat the tingly feeling in her heart indicating that she knew her wish hadcome true.
Sheridan stood in her kitchen drinking coffee…sipping at it as she gazedout the window and dreampt of her new found love and happiness…she felt armsaround her, wrapping her in the warmest and sweetest and safest embrace.She felt lips touch neck and a sweet lick on her shoulder bone. She feltthe arms turn her around and she was now facing the most loving man to herin this world. She put down her coffee and kissed him a morning kiss… “Ilove you, you know that?” Luis grinned.
“You were asleep early, early this morning and I quickly made a call…”
“To who?”
he whispered this part, “to…BARCLEY!!!”
In came a yapping little yellow puppy-doggie…
“he’s so cute…” she paused petting him. “thank you…for everything.”
“He’s a guard dog to watch over me…” he laughed.
“Crazy…and I love you…who’s it make crazier?!” They laughed and kissed a kiss that would go on forever and ever.
The end
