fool again


chapter four

Louis grabbed his mobile out of his jacket pocket and started dialling.
"Louis, who are you calling?" I pleaded again desperately. He put his finger to his mouth.
"Ronan mate it's Louis, have you got a few mins?" Oh my god, oh my god, Louis was on the phone to Ronan. THE Ronan. Boyzone Ronan. Louis was talking to him right this second! My heart started beating so fast and I started pacing to control my excitement. 'Ronan!' I lip synched to my boss-he just nodded trying to pick up the conversation.
"Do you remember saying how you wanted to get on the management side of the industry?" Louis asked. Oh my God, was Louis really gonna get Ronan to manage them??
"They haven't got a name at the moment-well they have but they're gonna change it." Louis replied to a question Ronan had obviously asked.
"Yeah they're good guys, 3 from Sligo, 2 from Dublin, can all sing, good looking or so Shelly tells me!"
Oh my God, Louis had just mentioned my name to Ronan!!!!
"Shelly's this girl doing work experience here at RCA. They got her to look at them and she's impressed-I trust her judgement coz she's a Boyzone fan."
Oh my god, Ronan had asked who I was! He actually said my name and knew who I was. More dreams were coming true by the second!!
"Yeah well RCA are gonna sign them, and we're co-manage them if you like the look and sound of them."
"Can you hear me mate?"
"I want you to fly back from Germany tonight, and come in and see them tomorrow, RCA won't sign them until you've confirmed you'll co-manage them. Thanks mate I'll see you 10am tomorrow morning." He put the phone down!
"Louis that's genius, getting Ronan to co-manage them, everyone will buy their records!" I nearly screamed.
"Yeah good one mate," Louis and Tony shook hands.
"Right I guess we should go and give the guys the good news" Louis said smirking while rubbing his hands together.
"Yeah, I'll draw up a contract tonight for them to sign tomorrow when Ronan's here." Tony thought out loud.
"And thank you Shelly, I doubt we would have seen that problem if it wasn't for you." Louis said.
"My pleasure" I grinned back.

Louis pushed open the door to show 5 eager looking faces,
"Well?" one of the blonde ones said.
All Louis did was raise his eyebrows. My grin said it all though. The four other guys had all eyes on Louis, but Mark's eyes were on me. He just looked intently at me, as if he couldn't believe what was going on, and gave a questioning look. I just nodded, and the most gorgeous grin formed on his face.

"Are they really gonna sign us?" Mark asked to excited for words. Louis confirmed it for the rest with an opening of his arms and a huge grin. They went mad and didn't know where to look or who to thank first. They all gripped each others fists in a circle and staring laughing and smiling. "You impressed these guys no end, especially this young lady here," he said whilst patting me on the back. The one who was sitting in the middle who I found out was called Shane from all the excited shouting went over and hugged Louis, the others following behind, while Mark came over to me. Uh oh, I thought to myself, be cool and don't say anything stupid. He just grabbed hold of me and hugged me so tight I almost couldn't breathe. He kept muttering thank yous into my hair and all I could reply with was, "That's okay but I don't know how much I did." It was amazing how safe I felt in his arms, even if someone stood there with a gun to my head I still would have felt the same, and I almost resented Shane when he came over and said, "Stop hogging her mate, we all wanna say thanx!" He lessened his grip on me and then softly kissed me on both cheeks. His lips were so warm and soft and I didn't want him to leave, he pulled away and gave me his amazing smile before moving away to Louis. The rest of the guys each took it in turns to give me a quick hug and say 'thanx' but I didn't hear a word they said, I was bathing in the feeling of Mark's lips, and tight embrace.
