| Chapter 5 Kian followed Becki into the lounge. Rach walked in from the kitchen with a puzzled look on her faced, followed by a deeply disappointed one, due to Shane not being with Kian. She looked at Becki, who looked worried, then at Kian who looked unhappy. ‘I’ll make myself scarce shall I?’ She questioned. ‘If ye don’t mind,’ Kian replied. Rach left out the front door and went round to the lads next door. ‘What’s going on Kian?’ ‘Listen. There’s something that I need to tell you.’ Kian replied. ‘Oh. That doesn’t sound good.’ ‘Well…..see…..I’m not a painter and decorator, and neither are the other lads.’ ‘Oh.’ ‘I know we lied, but we had to. You see…..we’re all in a boy band called Westlife. We’ve just broke Ireland and so we’re over here on a promotional tour with our single.’ ‘Wow ! That’s great !!!!’ Becki replied with sudden excitement, ‘I’m going to be on the news !!!!’ ‘No. Becki, you don’t understand. It is really good and exciting but it’s really hard to have a relationship when we’re on the move all the time. And that’s not what I want. I want to be with you all the time because…..I fallen in love with you and I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.’ Becki felt a tear creep down her cheek and looked deep into Kian’s eyes. ‘Don’t cry.’ Kian said softly. ‘I can’t help it. I love you with all my heart and I never want to let you go.’ They embraced and Becki could feel her heart pounding. This was what she had always wanted. Someone to love her as much as she loved them. Duncan was different. Kian would never do to her what he had done. She cursed herself for thinking of him when in such an intimate moment with Kian. ‘So what’s going to happen between us now?’ Becki dreaded the reply she heard….. ‘I don’t know.’ Kian broke the silence. ‘I do know that I love you and I really want this to work.’ He spoke meaningfully, ‘I don’t want my job to come between us.’ Job, Becki thought. That was all it was. A job. Her job was in an office, getting paid the average wage for the equivalent of two people’s job’s. ‘Talk to me Becki.’ ‘Sorry. I’m just trying to get my head around this.’ ‘I know. It’s pretty far-fetched, isn’t it?’ He understood what she was thinking. ‘Yeah, it is. But I feel the same and I’ll give up everything to be with you Kian. That’s how strongly I feel for you.’ They hugged again and Kian kissed her softly. He didn’t want that moment to end….but then his mobile rang. Becki listened intently. ‘Kian? Louis. I think we need to talk. I’ve been on the phone to the lads and they’ve told me everything.’ Louis sounded stern. ‘Oh. Right. Ok then. I’ll meet you at the house?’ ‘Yes. I think ye better.’ The line went dead and Becki and Kian looked at each other. ‘Everything will be Ok. I promise.’ Shortly after Kian left, Rach returned to find Becki crying quietly. ‘Oh Becki !! Has Kian told you?’ ‘You knew?!’ Becki questioned. ‘No. They only just told me too. Are you Ok?’ ‘Yeah. I just love Kian so much and I want it to really work between us. Aren’t you upset about you and Shane?’ ‘Not really. It’s nothing serious. I’ve realised that from seeing you with Kian. Shane’s not the one for me, but I can see that you and Kian are meant for each other.’ ‘Yeah. I believe that too.’ They both hugged as there was a knock at the door. Becki got up to answer it. ‘No!’ Rach almost shouted, then lowered her tone, ‘I’ll get it. You just sit there.’ ‘Oh. O…k.’ Becki wondered. Becki was not herself. Yesterday, her and Shane were inseparable, yet today, they were ‘nothing serious’. Hmm. Rach returned with a very happy looking Kian. When Becki saw him she automatically smiled back. ‘Everything’s going to be Ok. Just like I said.’ Kian whispered. They kissed and relief swept over Becki. She looked deep into Kian’s eyes, ‘I want to come with you.’ Kian’s jaw dropped and then a tear slid down his face. ‘Are you sure?’ ‘Yes. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my entire life.’ Kian burst into tears and Becki followed. ‘Look at ye!!!’ A strong voice shouted. Bryan stood there laughing and then came over to Becki and hugged her. ‘Welcome to Westlife world!’ ‘Thanks Bryan.’ Becki said and kissed him on the cheek. ‘Oi! Watch it! The missus won’t be happy!’ Bryan replied. Becki looked over at Rach who was standing in the corner looking at the floor. Something was going on. But if only Becki knew. |
