"Let's sit down," I suggest and go to our seats.
"Where's Ant?" Tia asks the guys.
"He's outside, there were many fans to se hem. I think," Sy answers.
"Than why aren't you outside? They also want to see you!" I say a bit sharp.
"Erm� we came in to see if you arrived yet," Duncan says taken aback.
"I think she might have a point," Sy shrugs.
"We'll see you after the show, okay?" Tia smiles and kisses Sy goodbye.
"See ya later babe," Dunk gives me a kiss on my cheek and follows Sy.
"Are you okay hunni? Something wrong?" Lee whispers at me.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a bit tired," I give him a weak smile.
"You take care of her!" he says to Tia and Patty.
"Of course Lee! Now go!" Tia assures him.
"Bye babes!" Lee leaves us.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Patty asks as soon as we're alone.
"Yeah, it's nothing like you to speak like that to the guys!" Tia nods.
"No I ain't okay. I'm tired, and if the smallest thing goes wrong, I'm gonna cry! I feel really� weird," I slowly shake my head.
"I know what it is honey. You're in love, and it makes you feel vulnerable," Tia smiles at me.
"Don't think too much. Just enjoy the evening," Patty says encouraging.
"Thanks girls, you're the best!" I manage to give them a weak smile.
They get us some drinks and we chat until the show starts. It's great that Patty's here, she really cheers me up!
When the guys appear on stage my breath stops for a second. Dunk looks so� I don't have words for it! My heart's beating like crazy, my hands go all sweaty, my stomach feels weird�
He throws a sweet smile at me and I can't do anything else but smile back! His smile feels like the first warm ray of sunshine on your face in spring!
After an interview by the tv host they start to perform. The first song is 'Breathe Easy' and Dunk starts to sing.
Cruel to the eye
I see the way he makes you smile
Cruel to the eye
Watching him hold what used to be mine
Why did I lie?
Why did I walk away to find
Oooohhh...why...oooh -- why...
I.... can't breathe easy
Can't sleep at night
Till you're by my side
No I.... can't breathe easy
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air....
Curse me inside
For every word that caused you to cry
Curse me inside
I won't forget, no I won't baby I
don't know why (don't know why)
I left the one I was looking to find
Oh why� oh why?
I.... can't breathe easy
Can't sleep at night
Till you're by my side
No I.... can't breathe easy (breathe easy)
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air....
No I.... can't breathe easy (can't breathe easy)
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air....
Out of my mind
Nothing makes sense anymore
I want you back in my life
That's all I'm breathing for
Ooooooohhhhh -- tell me why
Oh won't you tell me why
Dunk looks straight at me while singing, giving me goose bumps all over my body. Does he realise he's looking at me??
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air
I... can't breathe easy
Can't sleep at night
Till you're by my side
now I can't breathe easy
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air
I wonder what the second song is! As long as it's not 'Guilty' I'm okay� I don't think I can handle hearing Dunk sing that song right now!
When I hear the first notes of the song I know that it's wrong� It IS 'Guilty'! Oh no! Why this song? And Dunk keeps looking at me from time to time! Why did we have to be on the front row?
I never want to play the games that people play
I never want to hear the things they gotta say
I've found everything I need
I never wanted anymore than I can see
I only want you to believe
If it's wrong to tell the truth
What am I supposed to do
When all I wanna do is speak my mind (speak my mind)
If it's wrong to do what's right
I'm prepared to testify
If loving you with all my heart's a crime
Then I'm guilty
I feel a tear rolling down my cheek. I have to get away from here! I get up from my seat and before I've left tears are already streaming down my face. I rush towards the nearest door without seeing anything.
"No Patty!" I hear Lee yelling behind me. "Dunk! Go after her, and tell her, d@mn it!"
I'm through the door and start running down the corridor. I hear Dunk running after me and within a couple of seconds he reaches me and grabs my arm. I stop running and lean with my back against the wall, my head bent down and my face buried in my hands. I'm crying uncontrollable, my whole body is shaking. Dunk kneels down in front of me.
"Iris!" he takes my hands and makes me look at him. I can see enormous pain and sadness in his eyes.
"I� I have to ask you one question," he says with difficulty. "Are you in love with me?"
My eyes widen in shock. He knows? How?
"I really need to know. Because I am truly, madly, deeply in love with you! If the answer is no, then I'll never ask it again," he say with his voice full of tears.
What? He IS in love with me? But than�
"Iris! Please answer me?" he cries.
"Yes. Yes I am in love with you! So in love that it hurts. It hurts when I'm away from you, it hurts when I'm with you and you're being so incredibly sweet and I can't tell you that I love you so much!" I say in tears.
He keeps quiet for what seems like an eternity. Than a little smile appears on his face. I start to smile too and he gets the biggest smile ever. He stands up and gives me a big hug.
"I love you so much!" he whispers in my ear with a hoarse voice.
"I'm never ever gonna let you go!" I say wiping his tears away. He gently wipes his fingers over my wet cheeks too and gives me another hug. We're holding on tight to eachother.
"I can't live without you," he shakes his head smiling.
"How could we be so stupid?" I smile back. He looks deep into my eyes and starts hugging me again. I feel a kick in my belly. Dunk felt it too, because he bends down to stroke my bump.
"Heya babies! Mummy and daddy are back together!" he talks softly to the twins. He keeps on doing that for a couple of minutes.
"Dunk!" I call out. He looks up at me expectantly.
"For God's sake, kiss me!"
He stands up and looks deep into my eyes. He takes my face in his hands and slowly our lips touch. Sparkles are flying everywhere. A great feeling of safety and happiness flows through my body.
When we eventually stop kissing Dunk gives a deep sigh. "We have to get back to the others."
"We have to tell the good news," I smile and kiss him again.
"You wanna go� on stage?" he asks carefully.
"I'll do anything as long as you're with me!"
A big smile spreads across his face again. "We'll let the whole world know we're together!"
