Our Song ON HOLD

8. No Words

Libbie POV

It had been three months since production had finished on the music video and yet Damian was still as present in my mind as he was then. We had kept in touch and he always sent a little something on special occasions. Today was no different, Not Meant For Love had been nominated for best song and best video and tonight was the award ceremony.

I had asked Damian if he could make it seen as he was half responsible for the video but his schedule wouldn't allow it. I was disappointed, it would have been nice to see him again and maybe it would have given me the chance to work out why I can't stop thinking about him and what this feeling was I got every time I did.

Just before I'd left my apartment I had taken delivery of a large bunch of red roses and a bottle of champagne. I knew before I had even looked at the card who they were from. I placed my nose near one of the blooms and inhaled the scent as I opened the card.

Sorry I couldn't make it tonight.

Whatever happens you'll always be a winner in my eyes

Now here I sat in hair and makeup wishing there was some way he could be here. At the same time I couldn't understand the desperation I had to see him or why he had such a hold on me. I had been driving myself crazy, everytime my phone made a sound I would rush to it hoping it was him and I'd be so deflated when it wasn't.

"You ok there you seem miles away" my manager asks

"Yeah I'm fine I was just.........."

"Thinking about him again" she chuckles "you really like him don't you"

"I guess......I think so.......I don't know" I sigh "I don't know what's going on with me"

"Here's an idea" she says "you have another music video coming up, why not request him as your leading man again, that way you can see him again"

"You are a genius" I smile "do it......call them now and tell them it has to be him"

"I'm on it" she grins "one future husband coming up" she smirks

"Oh please this is me we are talking about, that will never happen"  I say and she shakes her head as she walks away.

I spend another hour in hair and makeup before I'm finally allowed some freedom before the award ceremony. I decide to find somewhere quiet so that I can give Damian a quick call but when I turn to leave the room I'm stopped in my tracks.

"Dream lover?" I gasp "but I thought........"

"I moved some things around" he smiles "I knew how important this was for you and I didn't want to let you down"

Without even thinking I rush over to him and throw my arms around him. He chuckles lightly as he hugs me back resting his chin gently on my head.

"I missed you too" he says softly

"You got me, I missed you" I chuckle "it's so good to see you again, and might I say you look very handsome in that suit"

"Libbie there's another reason I came here" he says nervously stepping back from me "since we last saw each other you've been on my mind constantly, I can't stop thinking about you. I came here to talk to you because...........well because.............oh screw it I always did suck with words" he says before taking my face in his hands and pressing his lips to mine. I immediately melt into the kiss placing my hands on his back.

When he pulls away he looks at me breathless and suddenly everything seems to make sense. I reach out and run my finger tips down the side of his face and he closes his eyes as he leans into my touch.

"Libbie" he says softy "I know you think you're not meant for love, that love has failed you and I don't know if I'm the one that's worthy of all you have to give but I'd like to be. Will you give me a chance to show you that you are wrong, to make you happy, please nightingale.......will you give me a chance to be what you are looking for"

"Yes" I smile and I see him breath a sigh of relief "I don't know what this is between us but I know it's different and I've never felt it before. I want to see if we can make this work, if this could be something special and I'm hoping you are what I've been waiting for"

Smiling he leans in and kisses me once again, and that feeling that I have kept feeling is right there only this time it's stronger. He had come all this way for me, to be with me, becuase he wants me. That already made him something special in my eyes.

"You know what, I think I prefer kissing you without the cameras" he smiles as he rests his forehead against mine

"Me too" I smile "it's a shame we can't go yet becuase I have a feeling there are other things we will like better without cameras" I smirk

"Bad girl" he chuckles "let's get the show over with and then we will see where the night takes us"

"Sounds good to me" I smile
