Damian POV

"Alright I need you both to stand right here and face each other" the director says moving us into place "so your dancing then you co e to a stop here, Damian I want you to place your hands on her shoulders and gently rub her arms and while you do look deep into her eyes. Libbie I want you to rest your hands on his chest........yes just like that and look up into his eyes"

As I look into Libbie's eyes she looks nervous on edge even and I couldn't help but wonder if all this detail was the video or if this was what she really dreamed of, if she was using the video to live out dreams she believes will never come true.

"Perfect......now keeping your eyes on her I want you to slowly lower yourself to one knee" he says "you then hold out the ring and mouth will you marry me, the camera will then focus on you Libbie to capture your reaction and acceptance"

The director calls action and I do as he asks, I lower myself to one knee my eyes fixed on her, as she watches me I see her whole face light up and my question is immediately answered. I do my part and she beams at me before nodding yes. As the camera focuses on her she takes my face in her hands and kisses me.

Without thinking I stand wrapping my arms around her our lips never parting. As we kiss I lift her and spin her around before placing her back on the ground.

"CUT" the director yells "what was that"

"Sorry I got caught up and went of script" I sigh "you want a re take?"

"No" Libbie says "it was perfect as it was"

"She's absolutely right" he says "that was perfect, well done"

Libbie POV

As the director walks away I find myself just staring at Damian, it was if he had known what this video was really about, like he had read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted.

But that couldn't possibly be the case, he didn't know me well enough and I hadn't told him anything about my dreams. I was beginning to wonder if he had been sent to me for a reason, I just don't know what that reason is.

"Sorry" he says "I got carried away I hope I didn't mess things up"

"It's fine, you didnt" I smile "like we said it was perfect.......oh and by the way you never told me you were such a good dancer"

"Oh I've been know to move my hips from time to time" he smirks "dancing isn't really my thing"

"I wouldn't be so sure" I smile "listen once we are done here do you fancy hanging out?" I figured since we are friends now we should get to know each other"

"I'd love to" he smiles "we could go to the metal bar down the street, grab some food have a drink"

"Metal bar?" I ask wide eyed "your a metal head?"

"Sure am" he smiles "come on I've danced for you.......what do you say?"

"Alright fair point, I'll give it a try" I smile "you are definitely not like other guys Mr Priest"

"Nope, they only made one of me" he says with a wink "I'm one of a kind"

"Such a charmer" I laugh playing hitting his chest

"I'd like to re shoot the kiss and spin" the director says breaking our moment "I think we should have a slow motion close up of your faces as you spin........what do you think Libbie?"

"I think that's a great idea" I smile "think you can manage to pucker up again dream lover?" I ask with a smirk

"I'm sure I have one more in me" he smirks back

The director calls action and Damian repeats what he did before, but somehow this time is doesn't feel the same, it doesn't feel as natural. Once the director comfirms he's got what he needs we stop spinning and Damian puts me down.

My feet find the floor but his hands stay firmly on my sides and he looks down at me with a smile. He is completely unreadable, then almost like he has snapped out of some kind of trance he shakes his head and let's go.

"Uh sorry I zoned out there" he says "so shall we meet outside when we are both ready?"

"Yeah sounds good" I smile "are you sure you're alright?" I ask

"Yeah I'm fine" he smiles "I'll see you outside, don't be late nightingale"

"Nightingale?" I ask a little confused

"Yeah, the nightingale is the bird with the most beautiful song" he smiles "fits you perfectly.........I'll see you outside"

"Yeah see you outside" I say feeling myself blush as I watch him walk away and all I can think is God certainly broke the mould when he made that man.
