"God, she's beautiful," Shane thought. He was looking at his girlfriend, Gillian. Shane was sitting on the bed. He was just about to go to the airport, because him and the rest of Westlife were going to England later today, but then he suddenly stopped, and thought about how lucky he was, having such a great girlfriend. She was beautiful, sweet, a great friend, and his best friend, Kian's cousin.
Shane kissed Gillian on the cheek and rushed out of the door. He went down to his brand new car. It was a Ferrari. It was a black sports model. He drove to the airport. His hair was wild in the wind.
As he drove towards the airport, he took his baseball cap on, and pulled it down to his eyes, so no one, hopefully, would recognize him. If one fan spotted him and came over to get an autograph and a picture, then there would be 50 girls five minutes after, also wanting an autograph and a picture of him. He didn't want that to happen, because he didn't have the time for it.
He went over to a café at the airport, to get a cup of coffee, while waiting for the rest of the lads to show up. He had just sat down, when he spotted Nicky.
Shane waved at him. Nicky saw him, and went over to him.
"Hi Nicky. How's it going?"
"Fine. When are the other lads going to come?"
"”I don't know. They'll come. Don't worry about that."
"Yeah, you're right."
"There's Bryan and Kian. Look!" Shane said pointing behind Nicky.
Nicky and Shane waved at them.
Bryan and Kian came over to their table.
"Hi lads. How's things going with you?" Bryan asked.
"Fine, they both answered.
"Have you guys seen Mark?" Kian asked.
"Nope, but I hope he comes soon, or else he will miss the flight," Nicky said.
"PLEASE GO BOARD FOR FLIGHT 68 NOW," a womans voice said.
"That's our flight, and where is Mark?" Nicky said.
"I'll just phone him," Shane said.
"Hallo, it's Shane."
"Hi, it's me, Mark. What's up?"
"We're in the airport waiting for you, and the flight is started boarding now. Where are you?"
"I'm at my parents house."
"Come on Mark, you must be joking."
"I AM at my parents house."
"Then hurry home and get your luggage and hurry to the airport, and I hope you can catch the next flight to England."
"Oh, I forgot we where going to England today. Damn! I knew I had forgot something."
"Well, you're not gonna catch this flight. You will have to wait for the next flight."
"Okay. I'll just call Louis to tell him, so he dosn't get worried."
"Allright. See ya later in England," Shane said.
"Yeah, see ya!" Mark said.
Mark hung up.
"He was at his parents house! Can you believe it? He totally forgot! He's not gonna catch this flight. He will have to wait for the next one," Shane said.
"Oh, no! I don't think he will make it for the show tonight, at Top Of The Pops," Nicky said.
"Then we gotta be ready for it if he dosn't. Who's gonna sing his parts, if he's not there?" Kian said.
They agreed that if Mark couldn't be there in time for the show, Bryan would sing his parts.
"Okay. I'll sing Mark's parts," Bryan said.
"Oh, no! We have to hurry up now! Hurry over to the gate!" Nicky suddenly said looking at his watch.
The lads hurried over to the gate for their flight, and started boarding.
"That was close, eh?" Shane sighed as he sat down at his seat.
"Yeah, we almost missed our plane! And we had plenty of time. That's kind of embarrasing," Bryan laughed.
"Hi honey. It's me, Shane. I didn't wake you up, did I?" Shane said. He was talking on the phone with Gillian.
"Hi! No, no, you didn't wake me up. I woke up right after you left. I'm already missing you," Gillian said.
"I know. I also miss you. I love you. I gotta go now. I'm on the flight. I phone you tonight after the show."
"Okay. I love you too. Bye."
They hung up.
Shane looked around. The other lads where sleeping. They where all exhausted, because they had just finished their tour.
Shane was also tired, so it didn't take long before he was asleep too.
He woke up, because Bryan was tickling him on his stomach.
"Stop it Bry!"
"We're here Shane. Look out of the window. We're in London, baby!" Bryan said.
"Yeah," Nicky adds.
Shane sat up, and looked out of the window.
He took his jacket, and went with the rest of the lads out of the flight.
He looked at the blue sky, and was looking forward to talk with Gillian on the phone later.
When they arrived at the BBC studio at Top Of The Pops, they started rehearsing. They where going to perform Queen Of My Heart. Shane loved that song. It always made him think about Gillian.
At 5 p.m. the show started. First Atomic Kitten where gonna perform, and then Westlife. Atomic Kitten came out from the stage, and now it was finally Westlife.
Mark was on his flight now. He would be there in about an hour. He wouldn't make it, so Bryan would have to sing his parts.
As Shane was singing his parts, he was thinking about Gillian. How she would sit and watch this right now, how she would smile. He really, really loved her.
After the show, they went to their fancy hotel in London. They where all wrecked after a long and hard day, but Shane kept his promise to Gillian. As soon as he were left alone in his room, he phoned her.
"Hi love. Did you see the show?"
"Yeah, it was great! I love that song so much."
"I was singing about you."
"I love you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me," Gillian said.
"I'm very tired, so I'm just about to go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow when I come home again."
"Yes. See you then. Sweet dreams!"
Shane's head didn't even touch the pillow before he was asleep, dreaming about the love of his life.
He woke up at 7 a.m. He dressed and fixed his hair. He phoned the other lads, to see if they were awake.
They all met in the hotel lobby. Mark was there too. He had arrived at the hotel, when the others where sleeping.
They where all asleep when they landed in the Irish airport. Shane rushed out, to look for Gillian.
There she was. Looking more beautiful than ever, Shane thought. She spotted him, and ran over to him. He also ran against her. He hugged her. He smiled at her. She was also one big smile. Then he kissed her. A long, soft and warm kiss. Gillian was almost about to faint! God, she loved him!
They went together over to a cab, and drove to his house.
When they got inside, Shane said to Gillian, to sit in the couch, and close her eyes.
She smiled, and thought: "He always is so sweet, and does things to surprise me. I wonder what he has figured out now?"
"Now you can open your eyes," Shane said.
He was down on his knees in front of her. He had a beautiful diamond sparkling ring in his hand.
"Oh Shane," she said.
"Gillian, I love you with all my heart, and you're the best thing that ever happened to me. You're the love of my life. Will you marry me?"
"Oh, Shane. I love you so much. Yes, I will marry you," Gillian answered with tears in her eyes.
He took the ring, and carefully placed it on one of her perfect and beautiful fingers. The diamonds where sparkling in the light. Shane hugged her, and he also cried.
