Chapter 8
come to their house an hour before the guys got
there. This was so we could share the latest gossip
and just have a regular girls-talk. Coz you all know
that some things you just can’t talk about with your
boyfriend there, and lads will never really
understand what’s so special about a real girl-talk.
I hardly had time to take my coat of before we began
to ask questions, tell stories and especially before
we started giggeling. Three 19 year old girls who
just have found, what seems like, the men of their
dreams, can giggle a lot, believe me!
“So, who’s in love?”, Rhiannon asked and looked us
both in the eye, “have any of you told your boyfriend
the three magic words yet?” Me and Nic both shook
our heads, but huge grins spread on our faces. It
was as if we knew that the other was thinking the
exact same thing. I was the first to confess,
“I think I’m in love with Bry…”, my face got a more
serious look, “I know so, I’ve never felt this way about
anyone before. It’s like I finally understand the meaning
of the lyrics in ‘Flying Without Wings’, except that I
haven’t yet told him that I love him and my feelings for
him is stronger than that song.” I could see on Nic and
Rhiannon’s faces that they totally understood what I
meant, they felt the same thing about Shane and Mark.
“I’m afraid to tell Shane about my feelings… I mean,
what if he doesn’t feel the same?”
“Are you crazy? That guy worships the ground you walk
on! He loves you, Nic. You know it by the way he talks
about you, byt the way he looks at you, by the way he
acts when you’re together…” We stood there for about
half an hour talking and discussing whether the lads felt
the same way or not. Well, actually the discussing part
was over after just five minutes, cos after that we’d
come to the conclusion that they loved us as well. The
other 25 minutes we shared stories about our
boyfriends and things that made us love them even
more. Mark had actually bought 10 red roses to
Rhiannon, just to thank her for their first kiss…
Nicky was the first to arrive and Nic let him in. He
was in a wonderful mood and picked Nic up and
swinged her around as he hugged her and then it
was Rhiannon’s turn and last he swung me around.
“Okae, do you wanna explain that or maybe we should
just get used to ge greeted like that, maybe it’s a normal
behaviour from your side?” He laughed at Nic’s question.
“I’m happy, that’s all! I just talked to Georgina on the
phone and she always makes me this happy! God,
she’s the best, I love her so much.”
“Aawwwwwwwwwww…” Nicky was just about to say
something back, when the door bell rang. I went to open
and outside was the other four. “How come you didn’t come here with Nicky?”
“Come on, he’s been talking to Georgina, you can’t be in
the same room as him after that. He just walks around
smiling and dancing and singing…” We started
laughing and Nicky got a bit embarrassed.
Mark, Bryan and Shane all walked up their individual
girlfriend and gave us a kiss. Kian watched Bryan and
me kissing and once again he got that sad look in his eye.
‘I shouldn’t think like that’, he thought to himself, ‘Heléna
and Bryan are my best friends and they love each other. I
just have to get used to the fact that Helena will never be
anything more than my friend.’
“I talked to Kian before we got here”, Bryan and I
were alone in the kitchen fixing us all some popcorn
and soda, “when I asked him why he had this sad
look on his face most of the time he just said it was
cos he missed having a girlfriend, but I think it’s more to it than that…”
“Maybe there isn’t more to it. I mean think about it, all you
guys have a girlfriend and eventhough Georgina isn’t
here he must feel left out.” I started thinking more about
Kian’s unhappiness and it almost made me cry. I’m very
sensitive and I cry easily and now I could feel that my eyes were filling.
“Hey sweetie, don’t cry. We all care for him and we hate
to see him like this, we just have to do our best to keep
his mind of this girlfriend issue”, he wiped away a tear
from my cheek and put his arms around me. When we
stood there holding each other, I got this strange feeling
that I had to hold him tight other wise I would lose him…
“I love you Bryan”, he let go of me and looked deeply into
my eyes with his penetrating blue eyes.
“I love you too…”, he kissed me and I slowly ran my
fingers through his hair, it was so soft and I loved playing with it.
“Maybe we should get back, before they start
wondering”, and with that we went back to the living room hand in hand…
