'Please look at me Emily. This isn't easy but I need to tell you this.' 'Okay, you have my attention mister.' I smiled at him.

'Emily, I love you. I love you so much I don't know what I would do without you. I don't know if you love me or not but I just have to say this.' He shot it up straight. I didn't answer him. All I did was put my arms around his neck and kissed him softly but sure. It lasted ages because when we finished, I could feel my arms were aching. We could probably beat the world record. 'Now is that enough as an answer?' Mark grinned. 'More than I ask for!'

He held my hand and said, 'Come on let's go or else it'll be too late when we arrive at Sli... Damn! I forgot it was supposed to be a surprise.' I laughed. 'You can't keep that of me hey?'

He drove off again. He started singing something that goes like, 'A simple line can make you laugh or cry... And it's like flying without wings cos you're my special thing... And that's the joy you bring... I'm flying without wings.'

'That's a gorgeous song Mark! Very beautiful! Are Westlife going to sing it?' 'Yeah. I was singing that song when I asked you what did you think of that song.' 'Sorry. But, really, I think you guys should release that song as a single. It'll appeal to a lot of people.' 'Really? Yeah, people like me.' It strucked me. I mean that much to him? I thought.

I smiled secretly to myself. Thanking God I was alive. 'Awww, don't be too romantic! I'll be ohh-ing and ahh-ing forever then.' 'How far have you gone love?' 'Ten weeks, doctor said.' 'Wow! Ten weeks! Are you feeling alright?' 'Yeah, so far. I know I've been feeling a bit sick in the morning and been eating loads lately. Did you notice my little bump?' 'Well, I thought it was only my feeling. No cravings yet?' 'I've been craving can't you see? Guess what I'm craving for.'

We were near Sligo by this time and luckily we were stopping at a traffic light. 'This?' Mark moved closer to me and kissed me for the hundredth time today. 'How did you know?'

'Well, for a start, you've never kissed me as much as the past week and suddenly you've become a great fan of hugging and kissing.' 'You know me too well. Too well, you know that?' 'Oh really?' We laughed again.
