I want to make you move

Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

The song had been running through Aidan's mind non-stop in the months since he'd witnessed Josephine dancing. The song was so very applicable to her- she had the most seductive eyes that Aidan had ever seen- and truly her body could match it. The mere thought had the man closing his eyes, savoring the memory yet again. He was grateful that the 'Single Father's Club' existed, and that Sabby had all the kids tonight- Bailee and Reuben (even though their fathers weren't technically single) were there, as were Kaylee and Kelsea and Vivianna. Alyssa was with them, there to give Sebastian a hand. Technically her father was still a single man, though everyone knew that something existed between him and Julie.

Aidan moved about his apartment, cleaning the dishes. He still couldn't get that song- or more importantly, Josephine' body, out of his mind. The girl had officially graduated that morning, though the commencement ceremony wasn't due for another week. Aidan had a week before she walked out of his life, and he didn't think he could take it if she did. Like it or not, he was going to have to make his move, and make it soon. Tossing the dish towel over his shoulder, he put the now-clean dishes away.

Josephine meant a great deal to him, and he wanted to let her know it. She'd been the one to talk him into an apartment, she'd been the one that had helped him bring Vivianna back into his life. Josephine had been the one that had found a place in his heart that was all her own. She was absolutely nothing like Tina had been, and he found it stunning. Grabbing his jacket, Aidan made his decision, and walked out the door.

An hour later, Aidan stood outside Josephine's dorm room. Taking a deep breath, he knocked lightly on the door, and opened it. Mercifully, Josephine was alone. Unmercifully, she was wearing tight jeans and one of those camisoles that girls wore under their shirts. She glanced over at him, and smiled.
"Aidan. Please, come in."

Aidan shut the door behind him, and ignoring the confused look she gave him, he went over to her CD player, inserting the disc that he'd brought. The song he'd seen her dance to drifted from the speakers, and Aidan joined Josephine, pulling her from the bed. He held her close, dancing to the music, and encouraging her to do the same. In her ear, he whisper-sang the song.
"Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you"

He heard her breath catch, and he smiled, dipping her low, bringing her up, and kissing her passionately. In her ear again, he whispered beautiful things to her. All of them revolving around how beautiful, sexy, and loveable she was. Then finally, he whispered his intent.
"Marry me?"

Stepping back, he slipped a silver band on her finger, the traditional single diamond set right into the band.
"Please, Josephine. I need you."
