we are one (2)

chapter two

It was the next morning and Mark was lying awake in bed thinking about the night before. He hadn't really slept at all and the thoughts of her floated through his head all night. He had always felt something was missing in his life and he knew for sure that it was her, and that know that he had found her he wasn't going to let her go. Not again. Mark got up and sat on the end of his bed, and looked out the window. He wanted her back and all he had to do was tell her. But Mark was unsure whether she felt and wanted the same. Mark decided to take a shower to try and clear his head.

I hadn't slept much. So many things were going round in my head and it was all so confusing.

I knew that I felt complete again with Mark back in my life. We were soul mates. I wanted Mark back. I just had to figure out how and if he felt the same way. That was my problem. How could I ever tell Mark how I felt and did he feel that same about me. I distracted my thought as I got organised. Once I was ready I made myself a coffee and headed outside. No sooner had I sat down when the phone rang. I reached for it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"I didn't wake you did I ?" Said a concerned voice with a strong Irish accent.

"Hey, no not at all, I've been up a while, " I replied thinking how I loved his voice.

"So how are you?" He asked concerningly.

"Okay, What about you?" I asked.

"I'm the same" he answered timidly.

There was a pause as we both decided what to say.

"Anyway" Mark suddenly said in a happier voice, "Do you want to come over, we are all going to go out and the guys and I were wondering if you wanted to come?"

"That sounds good, I'll see you soon then" I said ending the conversation. "Sure, see ya" he replied.

Within the hour I was standing in front of their door knocking. After a few moments the front door swung open and I was face to face with Bryan, who was in baggy jeans and a white T-shirt and his hair all over the place.

"Hey! How's it going?" he asked grinning.

"Good " I replied

"Who is it?" someone called from the other room.

"It's Kelly" Bryan called over his shoulder as he lead me in. Suddenly Mark appeared from around the corner with the biggest grin and his eyes sparkling.

"Hey" he said still grinning. "Hi" I replied.

"I'll leave you to it" Bryan said smirking at both of us as he left the room.

"You look great," he added giving me a gentle kiss on the check.

"Thanks so do you" I replied, there was a great force that was keeping me from holding onto Mark and never letting him go.

He did look great. He had on a pair of natural cargo pants and a firm fitting black v-neck T-shirt.

His eyes sparkled against the black. His hair was all spiky like it had been freshly washed and cut.

"Come in" he lead me to what was an amazingly big lounge.

"Pretty neat huh!" he said.

"Yeah!" I added. It was a grand. The room had a high ceiling and was so spacious. Wooden floors had big white sofa's place evenly on it. A giant glass table with and extraordinary figurine on it stood in the middle. A big fireplace was on one wall and the other was covered with glass doors, these were all open and extended out onto the deck.

"Have a seat, we just have to wait for the others"

"No problem" I said taking a seat on the huge sofa.

Mark sat beside me. I turned to him and smiled. "This place is amazing"

"I know, I never thought that being in a band would give us so many perks!"

Mark looked at me intently. I could feel myself floating away in his eyes.

Suddenly there was a lot of noise. A combination of voices and stampeding feet all coming towards us. We look over to the doorway to see Bryan piggy backing Kian into the room. Kian is laughing his head off and yelling, "faster go faster".

Bryan has this look of determination and cheekiness all over his face. They charge round the room and collapse onto the couch. Kian still laughing. Bryan relaxes into the chair and turns to Kian. "You are mad! That's all I can say!"

"Well someone has to be and I guess it is me!" replies Kian.

They both then turn and look over at Mark and I.

"Hey, you made it!" Kian says grinning at me.

"Yeah, I thought I would brave it and spend the day with you lot." I answered him.

"Well I hope you can handle us all" He said with his cheeky grin.

"I'll try," I added smiling back at him.

"What's taking the others so long?" Mark asked.

"Nicky is on the phone to Georgina, and Shane is trying to find his shoe!" Bryan said. "Oh okay" Mark said shaking his head.

We all sat around talking while we waited for the other two to arrive. Eventually the other two turned up and we all headed out for the day.
