All eyes were on her as she entered the dimly lit night club, she knew they were all surprised to see her there, hell, she was surprised to see herself there, but she knew he was there, and wherever he went, she went.
Following a few of her girlfriend's to a table, she smirked as a fellow coworker of hers almost tripped in the process of pulling out a chair for her.
"Nice going, Adam." Terri (Runnels) said as they all sat down at the table.
Adam glared at Terri, then cast an apologetic look at Stephanie. "Sorry, Boss."
Stephanie frowned at the name as she watched him turn around and stalk over towards the bar, but her frown immediately turned into a smile as she realized who Adam went to sit next to. "Excuse me, ladies. I think I see someone I know."
"Mmm-Hmm." They all said simultaneously, giving her a knowing look that she didn't even notice, since she was already across the dance-floor, and standing behind the man she was looking for.
"I'd like a Martini, please," she said before sitting down in the empty bar seat beside the man, who was known as a throne in her side.
"When'd you start using your manners, Princess?" he asked in a husky voice, causing Stephanie to shiver, but pretend like she was offended, nonetheless.
"When you started being a pain in the ass, Jericho."
Chris let out a small chuckle, before turning towards the brunette. "Good one! Now, I know you didn't just come over here to insult me, so what do you want?"
I don't know about the travel of time
And I've never seen most of the world
I don't know about
Diving out of the sky
Or living like the diamonds of pearls
Stephanie bit her lip a little at his bluntness. She didn't know what she wanted, but she knew what she needed, she needed to be near him, if only for a night. So, without moving her eyes from his, she stated her request. "I want a dance..with you."
See I haven't danced to a musical tune
And I haven't noticed the flowers in bloom
I haven't smiled when alone in my room very much
Then we touched
Chris raised an 'Are you kidding me?' eyebrow at her, wanting to know if she was serious or not, and she was. She was dead serious.
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
She'd dance with Jericho once before, and it was unlike anything she had experienced before, it was thrilling, exciting, it was new..and she wanted to feel it all over again.
"So, may I have this dance?"
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self control
Chris didn't answer, instead he grabbed her hand, which caused an electric spark to shock them both, and made his way towards the dance floor, with her in tow.
I don't know if a doll can unwind
Or how to make a person go
As they made it to the middle of the dance floor, Chris pulled Stephanie to him, and she suddenly grew lightheaded in his embrace.
I don't know how to be what you like
And simply open up the depths of my soul
She wasn't a pro at doing the exotic dance moves that Jericho was known for, so she just did what she felt like doing, and seductively grinded up against him
So I keep my wings
And my eyes on the down
Ready for nothing
But holding my ground
I haven't used
A particular noun very much
Then we touched
It felt like her world was running in slow motion, and it felt like her and Jericho were the only ones around, and she loved it. She loved not expecting anything from this man, and she loved knowing he didn't expect anything from her, hell, she loved being able to do what she wanted, without having to pay any consequences.
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
"Do you trust me?" Chris asked, as he pulled her against him, in the same husky voice that he used when they were at the bar.
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self control
"Do you?"
Stephanie was so lost in her own little world that Chris was making for her, that all she could muster was a 'mmm-hmm,' and Chris took that cue to usher her towards the back of the bar, where there was a booth placed against the wall.
I won't notice
Or pay you no mind
Boy I couldn't care less
what you do with your time
Your fingertips on my hips
Just move me like one of a kind
As Jericho sat down in the booth, and pulled her with him, Stephanie's mind started to tell her this was wrong, but as his hands came up her sides, and rested on her hips, she knew this was right.
I just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel sexy
And my body turns to gold
i just know
When you put your hands on me
I feel ready
And I lose my self control
And she knew that when he put his hands on her, and kissed her lips, that she felt sexy, sexier than she felt the first time this happened.
