chapter ten
"They are my mom and…you," he said. "I’m really sorry that I made you cry but I just had to tell you that. Please don’t cry anymore, okay?" he begged. I nodded and he pulled me into his arms.
"Can I just say one last thing?" he asked.
"I think so, but try not to make me cry," I joked. But he looked very serious and said," You’re the best gift that I ever received," Tears began welling up in my eyes again and I smiled and looked at the blurry image of him and said, "Me too. You’re the one thing I give thanks for everyday." Finishing that, we leaned towards each other and we kissed. We just stood there and kissed each other, for how long I do not know but finally he said, "I think we better eat the ice cream before it melts," and bent down to pick up the ice cream. I laughed and followed him to the living room. There, I sat on his lap and we fed each other with ice cream. He fed me the last bite and then decided that he would like some of it too.
"I think I’ll have some more ice cream," he said.
I frowned and said with difficulty, as I still had ice cream in my mouth, "But there’s no more ice cream."
"I believe there’s still some in your mouth," he said with a playful grin on his face and before I could do anything, he began to steal my ice cream.
By the time we finished the ice cream in my mouth, we were lying on the floor as I was struggling to ‘protect’ my ice cream and we fell down from the sofa.
"You know, my happiest moments are when I’m with you," and he started kissing me again.
After a few hours later, Kian asked, "It’s already very late, do you want me to send you home?" I declined, knowing that he was in no mood to drive. As he walked me out, he kissed me goodbye and tried to smile but I could see that he was sad. I could not bear to see him sad so I tiptoed to kiss him. After the kiss, I said with a smile, "Is your house big enough for one more person?" He then looked at me, with surprise and happiness in his eyes.
chapter eleven
That night, I slept on his bed and he slept on the floor. I couldn’t get to sleep so I turned to my side and looked at him. He looked so gorgeous then that I could not help but want to kiss him. I got out of bed quietly and leaned down to kiss him softly on the lips. I felt him responding and before long, he lifted me onto his bed and we started kissing passionately.
When I woke up the next day, I realised that I was at Kian’s house and that he was sleeping beside me with his arms around me. I gently pushed his arms away and went downstairs to prepare breakfast for him. After I finished preparing the breakfast, I went upstairs to wake him up. He was still sound asleep. I shook him and he opened his eyes and looked at me blurly. He looked so adorable that I just had to give him a kiss. That I did and after the kiss, I managed to get him to wake up. We then went downstairs and ate the breakfast that I prepared and he claimed that it was the nicest that he had ever eaten.
After a few kisses, we decided to go visit his mom so we set off. When we reached there, his mom was already awake and she even managed a few jokes.. She also told us that she could be discharged that very afternoon so we stayed there until she was discharged. After sending his mom home, we stayed there for about two hours and since I had something else on, I told Kian’s mom that I had to go.
"Well, it’s been a pleasure to meet you dear. I didn’t know my son had such good taste," she added with a smile. I blushed, not knowing what to say while Kian just grinned and put his arms around me.
"Mom, I think we have to go now or she’ll be late. Bye mom!" he said.
After Kian sent me off, his phone rang. After he had hung up the phone, his eyes were sparkling.
chapter twelve
He quickly dialed Shane’s number.
"Shane? Guess what? Louis Walsh just called. He said that we were to be the supporting act for Boyzone for their concert in Ireland! Can you believe it?!"
"What?! Boyzone? We’re going to be the supporting act for the Boyzone?!" Shane exclaimed. He nodded ecstatically and said in a rush, "Let’s go and celebrate with the other guys. Two o’ clock at the pizza place.
Oh my goodness, we gotta phone the others now." And with that, he dialed Nicky’s number and told him the good news. Needless to say, he was also very excited.
"Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it! We are finally going to perform in front of huge crowds!!!" Nicky blurted out. He then told Nicky to inform Mark about it.
When he reached there, Mark, Shane and Bryan were already there. Bryan was trying to balance as many straws as he could on a small cup.
"Hey guys," Kian greeted them. "Bryan! What the heck are you doing?"
"Being the usual me. Haha," he replied and continued his stuff.
Minutes later, Nicky, arrived. They ordered a big pizza and the guys started talking about their big break. As they were talking about it, Kian’s mobile rang and after answering it, he informed them that it was from Louis and they were to go down to their office in half an hour’s time to discuss what song they were gonna perform for the gig.
When I reached home that night, my phone rang and I picked it up eagerly.
"Oh Shane, it’s you. Angel’s birthday? Nope, her parents aren’t celebrating it for her. They’re supposed to attend a very important function. Plan a party for her? That’s a great idea! But where? Angel’s house? How are we going to do that?" and we started to make plans. Since Angel’s birthday was tomorrow, we decided to go shopping for all the stuff we needed for tomorrow. After all the planning, I called Kian.
"Hey Ki, you free tomorrow? Shane and me are going shopping for Angel’s birthday party. You wanna come along?" I asked.
"Sorry, I’m not free tomorrow. I gotta go with my mom to the hospital for a checkup."
"Oh, well then, I’ll see you at the party," I said, disappointed.
"I’ll try my best to make it to Shane’s house, OK? But I’m not making promises,"
"Yeah. Ok then, have a good night’s rest. Je Taime."
"Je Taime? What does that mean?"
"Figure it out yourself. Good night." And I hung up the phone before he could ask me any more questions.
In the morning, I met Shane, Fern and Bryan and we went to the supermarket. After buying all the stuff we needed, we went over to Angel’s house and started decorating the house. Toni and Trish were supposed to keep Angel occupied and then they were to bring Angel back.
A few hours later, the party was in full swing. Toni and Trish had called along all our classmates and we started dancing to the groovy tunes of the Vengaboys. After a few dances, I sat down to take a rest, wondering what Kian was doing. Just as I was about to call him, John, a guy in my class whom I had a crush on for years, came up to me and asked me to dance. I accepted his offer and we danced. As the dance ended, he kissed me on the cheeks and I looked at him, stunned. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone running out of the room. I turned to look and saw that it was Kian. |
