After Brendan had wrapped himself around Stacey and told her that he didn't think he wanted to be with anybody else after the day they both had, he didn't get any response. As he gently looked down at her, he could see she was already asleep. He had tried to get over to sleep himself, but he was so worried about Stacey, that he couldn't settle. And of course, because he couldn't settle, he didn't want to keep on moving about and disturbing her. So, making sure she was completely comfortable, and safe, he gently slid out of the bed and left her sleeping there. He had promised he'd stay all night, but he just couldn't sleep and he didn't want to disturb her any more than he probably already had. Looking at the clock it was around two in the morning, as they had come back to his place quite late anyway. Then they had spoken, the whole thing with Stacey and the sudden ability. He couldn't sleep because he had Stacey on his mind constantly, every single thought was Stacey, every time he closed his eyes he could see her face. Then suddenly he got the inspiration for a song. So, he made his way to his recording studio, it was within the house, but it was near to his photography lab, and of course it was soundproof. Well, he could hear anything happening outside the room, but someone in one of the other rooms wouldn't hear him. He began tinkling around on the piano and his guitar, getting a tune in his head, and then suddenly words just seemed to follow. He began writing them down, and within two hours, he had managed to get this far with a song. So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time When you love someone, when you love someone It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life ****Two Hours Later**** Just after he had strummed along on his guitar singing the words he had written so far to the tune he had, he heard some faint noises outside, which seemed to be coming from the living room. He picked up the notebook which he had the words written down on and lifted his guitar with him and went through to the living room, as there could only be one person who was watching the television in the living room and that was Stacey, whom he had been writing the song for anyway. However, as he went into the living room and made his way to the sofa, he noticed she was asleep again. He got the remote and switched off the television and sat down on the edge of the sofa, and put his guitar down on the floor gently, and then ran his hand through her hair. "An' hear I thought ya were awake, I was gonna sing to ya." He said softly, but he just continued to look at her and running his hand through her hair.

"I love you Brendan, with all of my heart. I never thought that I would be the kind of girl to settle down, and when I met you, you changed me, changed me into a better person. You have been there, from the beginning, protecting me, being there for me ... loving me ... for who I am. There are no other words to express what you are to me. I love you, and that is all that matters. And now we are here, standing in front of our friends and family, leading up to us finally saying 'I do.' This is where I want to be for the rest of my live. Right here with you."
Stacey looked up at Brendan, with tears in her eyes. This was the happiest moment in her life.
She began to wake slightly, and felt a hand moving through her hair. Stacey's eyes slowly fluttered open, and instantly knew where she was. That dream felt real to her, but knew that it was only that, a dream. She was then met with a sight of Brendan next to her, sitting on the sofa. Smiling, Stacey looked at Brendan. "Hey B. I came down, looking for you, as you were not in the bed with me when I woke. But not wanting to disturb if you were still asleep, decided to go and watch tv. Well that didn't eventuate, as I soon fell back to sleep."
Stacey wondered if she should tell him about the dream she had. What the heck, she had nothing to lose. "But lying here asleep, I had a nice dream. Better than the nightmare that I had earlier on. That one was a nightmare that I never want to relive again."
Stacey continued. "I am not sure if you want to hear the dream at all. But I can say this. It did involve you and me, sometime in the near future. It was only short, but it was a vision of you standing in front of me, in front of our friends and family." Stacey looked at Brendan, and then looked away starting to smile. She wondered if this was a premonition, or whether all of her emotioned towards him just created the dream. Who knew. But it was still nice.

Brendan wasn't sure how long he had been sitting running his hands through Stacey's hair, but he was enjoying it. He'd have gladly sat there doing that and watching her sleeping all night. She was just so god damned beautiful. Was this what it was really like to be in love he wondered? Not being able to sleep because you are constantly thinking about them? Not being able to sleep because you constantly see their face in your mind? Not being able to sleep because you are constantly saying their name over and over in your head? If it was, then Brendan was sure he was in love with Anastacia. Yet, hadn't he thought that before, with? He didn't even want to think about her. He had to stop thinking about her, it was definitely time to move on, and what he was feeling for Stacey, he hadn't felt for her. He hadn't felt for anybody.
His thoughts were broken by the sound of Stacey's voice. That voice he had already grown to love since he'd met her all those hours ago. He looked down at her and smiled, dimples deep set and stared into her eyes. "Hey Bambi." He said softly and listened to her speak some more, telling him she had woken up and came down to get him, and how she didn't want to waken him if he had been asleep. So had decided to watch the television and fell asleep again. "Sorry abou' tha' Bambi, but I couldn' sleep, an' I didn' wan' to disturb ya, so I thought I'd leave ya an' I went down to ma studio." He explained and smiled at her again, and ran his hands through her hair again.
He was about to pick up his guitar and ask her to listen to what he had written so far while in his studio, but she went on to tell him about a dream she had. So he continued to watch her and listen to what she said. "The nightmare of wha' ya found out earlier? Or did ya actually have a nightmare when I left ya? Cause if ya did, am sorry sweetheart." He said softly, but he really didn't want to disturb her.
When she described the dream, without telling him the 'actual' dream, he had a feeling what it was already, and if it was that she had dreamed, well then he wanted to hear about it, because thoughts of marriage were already creeping into his head. Who gave a damn if it was whirlwind, he knew what he was feeling, and he knew it was god damned real, and he wasn't about to let her slip through his fingers.
"Well ya know Bambi, tha' sounds real nice to me, so why don' ya tell me wha' it was really abou'? I have a feelin' but I wan' ya to tell me yerself." Brendan said as he thought he could sing what he had written of his song so far after she had told him about her dream some more.

Stacey loved how she had grown to just respond to her new nickname, not worrying if he wasn't calling her Anastacia or Stacey. It felt like her name was always Bambi, right from birth. It just felt so natural to hear it being said, especially by Brendan. She also felt like she had known him for years, not a few hours. They just seemed to click, to fit, in a way, which made her happy, excited, and scared all at the same time.
When Stacey mentioned what she had done only moments ago, he apologised for leaving her there alone. Taking his hand, she softly said, frowning, "You don't have to be sorry. I understnad." That was all that she got out, as Brendan smiled, and kept running his hand through her hair. She closed her eyes with that, but only for a second, as she decided to tell him about the dream.
After she told him the general concept of the dream, Brendan told her his thoughts on what she had just said. She bit the lower left of her bottom lip, glancing at him for a second, and then looked away. "Promise you won't run for the hills when you hear? But I suppose what we have been through together for the last few hours, this probably won't do much to shock you." Stacey let out a deep breath, sitting up to face Brendan, and began to describe what she had in fact just dreamed of.
"Well what I dreamed, I believe it was us getting married. I know it is silly for that to come into my dreams, what with knowing you for only a short time. I was saying my own written vows to you, and it felt so real and right me saying them to you. Everything that I said, what I remember that is, was heart felt, and true." Stacey looked honestly, and seriously into Brendan's eyes. "I do remember saying one line: 'I never thought that I would be the kind of girl to settle down, and when I met you, you changed me, changed me into a better person.' That is true for now. I feel that you have already changed me as a person, Brendan. Changed me for the better."
Stacey knew that it was true. Looking back on her old ways, she knew that she was going in the right direction to be a more mature adult, learning the right way to go. With Brendan's guidance, she hoped that it would continue. Leaning into his chest, Stacey added. "I think that I am truly for you Dimples."

Brendan felt so at ease with Stacey, every time he looked at her, he felt as if he'd been her boyfriend for years, and not just a few hours. But a few hours was all it had been, but they had been the most magical few hours of Brendan's life. So, maybe not all the hours were 'that magical' what with drug induced power Stacey suddenly seemed to have, but the effects of it had seemingly worn off for now, and Brendan could only hope that it wasn't going to be a permanent thing. For Stacey's sake more then his own. When Stacey took his hand and said it was alright and she understood his reason for leaving, he felt a little better, and still running his fingers through her hair, he gently squeezed her hand with his other and he smiled down at her. That ever charismatic, addictive smile of his. "Well, thanks fer understandin' Bambi, but I still wished I'd been there to calm ya." He said and still smiling down at her. As Brendan already had a fair idea what her dream had actually entailed, he could only grin with those magical dimples of his showing when she asked if he would promise not to run for the hills when she told him about it. With his hand still in her own, and using his other to run through her hair again, he said softly, with his eyes twinkling, "I promise I ain't goin' anywhere Stacey." He used her proper name, because he wanted her to know he was being serious. That's was the only time he never used his nicknames for anyone, when he wanted them to know he was being totally serious about something. He then listened to what Stacey had to tell him, and as the more she told him, the more he knew he had been right, and the more he knew he had been right, the more he smiled, and the more he smiled the more his dimples came out into force. The fact that Brendan wasn't getting any younger, and hearing her say that she was dreaming of them getting married only made him know the feelings he was feeling before were definitely real. When she went on to say that he had changed her for the better, he had a slight frown on his face but still smiled at her. "Well Bambi, ya know, I was thinkin' tha' was yer dream, an' as ya can see, I ain't goin' anywhere. An' I don' think I ever want to either. Am glad ya feel I've changed ya, but to me there was nothin' tha' needed changin' abou' ya. An' I love yer dream, I can see us reachin' tha' point in our lives, an' maybe sooner than we think, I ain't sure, but one thing I know am sure about, an' tha's how I feel abou' ya, even if it does seem crazy as we only jus' met a few hours ago." Brendan rambled on slightly, but every single word coming from his heart and every single word the truth. When Stacey leaned into his chest and said those words that she felt she was truly for him, calling him Dimples, he showed them off again, a very fitting nickname for a man with the biggest cutest dimples ever. He put his hand on her head, "An' I think tha' I am truly fer you an' all." He said softly and then he shifted slightly, sitting up a little, moving gently, so that Stacey's head would still be on his chest. "Ya see, I wrote a little somethin' when I was in ma studio afore, got maself inspiration ya see, and' it ain't finished yet, but this is wha' I got so far. An' jus' so ya know, the inspiration was yerself Bambi." He said softly as he bent down, picked up his guitar and started strumming the notes. And then of course, he started singing what he had put together already. "So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time When you love someone, when you love someone It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life" One thing about Brendan people don't realise though, is his accent strangely disappears when he sings, as can happen with a lot of musicians. He then put his guitar down after that, and then looked at her, with expectation in his eyes, "So wha' do ya think?" He asked her, and then smiled that warm smile of his as he waited for her response to it. {You can hear the song here ----> Waiting For A Girl Like You } {ooc: lyrics & song by Foreigner}

As Stacey told him the dream, and then how she felt, she saw his face change each time she spoke more. He smiled, and with that came the dimples again, which she had grown to love instantly. Though then when she had mentioned that he had changed her, she saw him frown, but still smiling. She wondered what she had said for him to do that.
When he mentioned about nothing about her needed changing, Stacey had to hold back a snicker. That was so not true. If only he had known her back in the days of when she went to study. How she was back then: the wild party girl, who gave in to every guy she was with. Just when Stacey was going to correct him, he continued talking about the two of them reaching the point of marriage in their lives. Just the thought of that dream of hers coming true, made her smile. Just then the certainty in his voice, when he said that he was sure about his feelings for her.
It just fitted so well when she replied to say that she was truly for him. The thought of being with just one man for the rest of her life kind of scared her a little. What would happen if she got bored with him all of a sudden? What if she lost the love they had together before they did get married? Just feeling his heart beating, she knew that couldn't be possible. "I am glad that you feel the same B. I am not sure what I would do if you didn't." Maybe combust into flames? Not likely, hoping that that ability was long gone.
When Brendan shifted under her head, Stacey wondered if she was getting to him a bit. She continued to rest her head on his chest, but for only a few more seconds. Stacey then lifted her head, and then rested it on his shoulder. He began to tell her about what he had been working on in his studio only a couple of hours ago. Without lifting her head, Stacey just tilted her head to look up at his face. "You did? I am not sure of what inspiration you got, as I am just a normal girl, who just happened to find the most wonderful guy ever." That was true, and she didn't know how she could deserve him.
She sat up, so he could play his guitar, resting her head back on the end of the sofa, but not laying down, so she could see him play. The melody was nice, and as he sung, Stacey felt like it wasn't real. She felt that the song was meant to be for someone else, but knew deep down, as she listened to the words, it was aimed at her. Stacey didn't know a lot about his history, but by the sounds of some of the song, he indeed had loved, but lost it.
As Brendan was nearing the end of the song, or near the end of what he had written so far, Stacey felt a tear fall. She hadn't even noticed that they were forming in her eyes. When Brendan finished playing and singing, Stacey smiled. He then asked her about what she thought. Stacey didn't care that she was crying, it was happy tears, not sad ones. "B, that was so nice." She saw that he was proud of what he had come up with, and at that moment, Stacey felt proud of him for writing it. "Wonderful even." Without looking at him at all, she went over to him, and just gave him a warm hug. More tears began to fall, but she didn't care.
"You have to know that that means a lot to hear that I have been the one you have been waiting for." With that, Stacey lent up to Brendan, and kissed him passionately. Should she say it, what the heck, why not! Then moving up to his ear, Stacey whispered, "I love you."

How could he have run for the hills? How could he have done that to Stacey? The answer was he couldn't. It was like Stacey was a magnet to him, and she was pulling him to her, like she was his drug and he was addicted to her. There was nothing on earth that would keep him away from her now. Nothing. At least that's what he is busy thinking. Could the arrival of a daughter get in the way? Hopefully not. "Well ya don' hafta worry Stacey, cause I do feel the same way. Crazy as it migh' be. I know how I feel an' I know it's real." With that he bent down and kissed the top of her head.
When Stacey commented that she was just a normal girl, Brendan shook his head. "No ya ain't. There ain't nothin' normal abou' ya. Yer as special as they come." He said, grinning down at her, and then he kissed her on the cheek this time. Her comment about him being wonderful made him smile some more. It wasn't enough to make him big headed, as Brendan wasn't really like that, but it was enough to make him feel good. "Well thanks Bambi, but I personally think yer more wonderful than me." He said with a wink, as he bent down and kissed her gently on the lips this time. Head, cheek, lips, how much further down would he go?
He then sang his song, and once he was finished, he had sat there, looking into Stacey's eyes, waiting for her to say something. If she said the right thing, he was certain he knew what was going to happen next in their life. Yeah it might be a flipping crazy idea, but he hadn't gone this far with, well he hadn't gone that far with any woman in his life, which was why, thinking about it now with Stacey, he knew it was real. Maybe a little trip to Rome or Paris might be happening sooner than either of them think.
When she said that it was nice, wonderful even, Brendan felt a light sigh of relief escape, he was worried it might have been a bit much for her too soon. So he was glad to hear that it wasn't. She then moved closer to him, hugging him, so in turn he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly to his chest, while he leaned his chin on the top of her head lightly. "Am real glad ya like it Bambi. Course it ain't finished yet, but am sure bein' around ya, it'll be finished in no time." He said softly, as he kissed the top of her head again. Sitting there, like that, with his chin on her head, and his arms wrapped around her, it just felt so natural.
"An' yer cryin' but am gonna go with them bein' happy tears, which suits me jus' fine." Brendan said, as he hugged her even tighter. Then she said that it meant a lot to hear that she was the girl he had been waiting for. Well it was true, she had been. He was sure of that. "Well I only tell it like I see Bambi, an' yer definitely the one fer me, I can feel it in here." He said as he pointed to his heart, and then gently took one Stacey's hands and again like earlier, placed it on top of his heart. "D'ya hear it?" He asked, "Tha's where ya belong, now, and always." He would have said more, but Stacey had reached up and began to kiss him passionately.
Of course Brendan couldn't do anything but return the kiss, and with as much passion as she was kissing him and allowed his tongue to explore her mouth like there was no tomorrow. After a short while, Stacey broke away and he felt her move toward his ear, and then she whispered the words that he had hoped to have heard from her, but was scared to say himself for fear of chasing her away, considering they had only known each other for a few hours. But he knew what he felt, and he knew it was real.
He turned her face gently with his finger so that she was looking at him, and he stared into her gorgeous Bambi eyes, his own eyes darting from side to side, like he was taking in every essence of her being, and then in probably the most serious voice he had used all night, and using her full first name, he said, "Tha's real good to hear, I love ya too Anastacia."
