38 “our song” for the Taylor Swift prompt. I love when you do these, they’re all so good!
https://liss-99.tumblr.com/tagged/bridgerswiftThey’d been friends since childhood, so naturally, it made sense when they got together in their teenage years. Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington were young and in love, and being the romantic that she was, she wanted them to have a song.
They were driving along the freeway on a sunny summer day, the local 80s hits radio station playing. Her fiery hair was loose and flowing from the wind, Colin had one hand on the steering wheel and used the other one to grasp Pen’s hand.
“I Wanna Know What Love Is,” was coming from the radio, and it made Penelope think about how she and Colin needed a song. She turned the radio down and took a look around, which Colin noticed right away.
“Baby, is something wrong?” he asked, bringing their entwined hands up to his lips to give hers a kiss.
“Nothing, I was just thinking how we don’t have a song,” Penelope said softly.
Colin laughed and threw back his head.
“Yes! A song. A song that describes our love and who we are,” she retorted.
“Oh yeah? What do you call the beautiful sounds of our relationship then?”
“What do you mean,” Penelope laughed, admiring how the sun illuminated her boyfriend’s handsome face.
“Our song, Pen, it’s magnificent. It’s how the door slams when you race out of your house to greet me, too excited to close it gently. Or how I sneak up to your window late at night and tap on it. Or, when we’re on the phone late at night and you talk really slow because your mom doesn’t know,” Colin said.
Penelope looked at him awestruck, but he kept going.
“God, and it’s the way you laugh. The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard. It’s how after our first date, our first official date, I got home and thought ‘Man, I didn’t kiss her and I should have.’ Then, before I said “Amen” I asked God if he could play it all again. That is our song, Pen.”
Penelope was beaming as they reached their destination, completely in love with him.
A few days later, after a shitty day at work at school, she was beyond ready for sleep. But, on the way to her bed, she almost didn’t notice the dozen roses and the note attached to it. Written in his script were the words he said the other day, and at the end, a signature.
This is our song, baby. Love, C.
The next time she was riding shotgun in his car, as “I Wanna Know What Love Is,” played, she grabbed a pen and an old napkin, and she wrote down their song.
