Brown Eyes
Brown Eyes

"Hello." Daniella heard and looked up to see a pair of brown eyes.

"Hello." She smiled and went along on her task of putting CDs where they went.

The brown eyed man smiled. "So...Daniella," he said, looking at her name tag. "You know, you're the woman I dream about." He told her and she laughed.

"Has that line worked often?"

"My first time using it; did it work?" He asked and she laughed again. He decided he liked her laugh.

"Sorry." She said and he turned to yell at another man.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH JOEY!" He yelled and the other man shrugged. "I'm Chris by the way." He said, holding out his hand and Daniella shook it.

"Nice to meet you."

Remember the first day when I saw your face
Remember the first day when you smiled at me
You stepped to me and you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about

"Um, hi is Daniella in?"

"This is she, who's this?" She asked.

"Chris, remember me?" Chris said and smiled when he heard her laugh.

"Corny pickup line guy."

"That hurts."

"I'm sorry."

"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me tonight, you know, get to know the corny pickup line guy." Chris told her.

"Sure, wanna meet up somewhere or is corny pickup line guy picking me up?" She asked and he smiled.

"Corny pickup line guy is coming to pick you up."

"Oh, well in that case..."

Remember the first day when you called my house
Remember the first day when you took me out
We had butterflies although we tried to hide
And we both had a beautiful night

"I had a great time." Daniella smiled later on that night as she stood on her doorstep with Chris.

"So did I Ella." He said, using a nick name he started calling her that night. Daniella looked into his brown eyes and could see in them that he did in fact have a good time.

They looked at each other and stood in silence until Chris cleared his throat. "I was wondering if you wanted to come to a Bar-B-Q me and the guys were having on Saturday."

"Sure." She said and he smiled before leaning in and kissed her cheek.

"See you then." He told her and turned around, back to his car.

The way we held each others hand
The way we talked the way we laughed
It felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one

"Hey guys! This is Daniella. Ella, this is Joey, JC, Lance, and Justin." Chris said that Saturday and Daniella smiled at each one as she held hands with Chris.

"You're that record store chick!" Joey said recognizing her and she laughed.

"That's me."

I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you know that he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul

"I had lots of fun Chris. Your friends are hilarious. Why didn't you tell me you were in *NSYNC? I seriously didn't recognize you.." Daniella said as they walked up to her door later that evening.

"I wanted to make sure you liked me for me." Chri told her once they reached her door and she smiled at him.

"I do like you, a lot. You keep me laughing and I like that." She told him and he smiled at her before leaning in, kissing her softly.

Remember the first day, the first day we kissed

Daniella wrapped her arms around his neck as his tongue slipped into her mouth and his arms held her by her waist, pulling her closer to him. Chris pulled away slowly and touched her cheek as he held her.

"See you later." He told her and she kissed him again quickly before pulling away from him.

"See you." Daniella said and walked inside.

Remember the first day we had an argument
We apologized and then we compromised
And we haven't argued since

"You keep forgetting I'm not used to this stuff Chris!" Daniella said as they walked into their hotel room, five months later. Chris took her as his date to an awards show and let the world know he had a girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think they were gonna follow us all over the damn place." Chris said and she folded her arms.

"I like you Chris, I care about you but I don't know if I'll be able to handle this. Cameras constantly in your face and everything. That was the first time any of those girls had seen me and they were yelling things like "slut" and "bitch" and "whore." You saw my face, I can't handle that stuff Chris." She said and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I never said you were my girlfriend at the show. I could say you're just a friend in an interview if they ask about you." He told her and she shook her head as it rested on his shoulder.

"Don't do that. Those girls aren't stupid." She said, then sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted like that."

"It's okay. Just let me know next time you feel uncomfortable." Chris told her and they shared a kiss.

Remember the first day we stopped playing games
Remember the first day you fell in love with me
It felt so good for you to say those words
Cause I felt the same way too

It was their one year anniversary and Chris planned on cooking and romancing her at home. When he told her his plans, she laughed when he said "I'm going to romance you.."

Chris led a blind folded Daniella into his living room and his fingers moved into her black curls slightly as he told her to sit down on the pillow at her feet. Once she sat down, he pulled the blind fold off and she opened her green eyes to a candle lit dinner on his coffee table.

She heard soft music playing and she smiled. "Oooh, Chris, I'm impressed." She said and he grinned as he sat down in front of her.

"I'm glad..." He said and they talked and laughed as they ate dinner. "Listen Ella," he said not long after they ate, "I have something to tell you."

Daniella looked up at his brown eyes and smiled. "What is it?"

"I'm so in love with you. I love you." He told her and Daniella eaned over the table to kiss his lips softly.

"You have no idea how good it feels to hear you say those words. I love you too."

The way we held each others hand
The way we talked the way we laughed
It felt so good to fall in love
And I knew right then and there you were the one

"What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Like after *NSYNC?" Daniella asked a few days later as she sat in between his legs, her back against his chest at the beach.

"What do I want to do... I want to have a family. That's scary."

"What's scary?" She asked moving to look at him and he looked down at her.

"A year ago, you'd never hear those words from me. You make me want to get married and have lots and lots of kids. But only with one woman." Chris said.

"Who's that?" She said and his thumb came up to trace her bottom lip.

"You." He said and she smiled as he bent his head down to kiss her.

I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you know that he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul

"Whoa! D! You're absolutely glowing there girl!" Britney Spears said as she hugged Daniella just before the group left for the Grammys.

"Well, I'm very happy right now." Daniella grinned and she couldn't stop moving her hand.

Britney looked down at the girl's left hand and she squealed before jumping and hugging her again. "Oh my God! J! Come check it out!" Britney called and Justin came over as Britney held Daniella's hand up.

"No way."

"Way." Danniella laughed as Justin jumped on Chris. The other guys looked to see what was going on and they joined Justin in a dog pile, as going on and they joined Justin in a dog pile, Chris on the bottom. "Don't kill him!" Daniella warned.

"I'm so happy for you girl. One year and he proposed. I've been with Justin for three, very close to four and I still haven't seen that ring." Britney said as Justin came up behind her.

"Don't worry, you will." He said and kissed her temple.

"I love you." Chris mouthed over to Daniella from under his three other band mates and she smiled, mouthing it back.

I'm so happy so happy that you're in my life
And baby now that you're a part of me
You showed me
Showed me the meaning of true love
And I know he loves me

"I'm so happy that you're in my life Ella. Now that you're a part of me you showed me the meaning of true love." Chris told her as they danced to "their song" at their wedding.

"Corny pickup line guy strikes again." She whispered back and he squeezed her slightly. "I know, I know. That was very sweet and I love you oh so very much."

"Good." Chris said and brought her as close as he could as they swayed to the music.

I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you know that he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul

"That's my baby boy!" Chris said happily, months later as their friends walked into the hospital room that held his wife and new son.

"Ooh, look at that! Tiny little black curls on his head." Britney cooed and the baby's eyes opened as Daniella held him and Britney stroked his head softly, Justin peering over her shoulder as the others crowded around the bed. Chris puffed his chest out proudly when they saw the baby's eyes were brown, just like his daddy's.

Daniella looked over at her husband and smiled when his eyes met hers. She's always loved his eyes. They told his soul whenever she looked at them. They showed his love for her and now for his baby. Yeah, she loved his eyes.

He looks at me and his brown eyes tell his soul
