Both groups gathered that night for a
little round of karaoke. Shane and
Kimmy couldn't keep their hands off each other. Nicky and Aine had a nice
little relationship going, Aine constantly marveling at how much Nicky
looked like Ronan and Nicky so proud that he was going to be a father.
Bryan was with Erica now, and everyone agreed they made a lovely couple.
Shawna had her BBMak boys, Mark and Ste, with her. Jenn had drug Christian
along as well. Mark, complete with his new black eyes, was there, avoiding
Dawn as best he could. The new, very self-conscious Hilary was there,
holding hands with a very smitten Kian.
Dawn glared at Mark from across the room every time he dared
to see a peek
at her. His face would turn bright red and he would immediately look down
at his feet. Then she got an idea. "I would like to sing a very
special
song now," she announced as she took the mic.
It's getting so lonely inside this bed
Don't know if I should lick my wounds or say woe is me instead
And there's an aching inside my head
It's telling me I'm better off alone
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some
Mark didn't even try to look at Dawn; afraid of the look she
would give
him. Yet something in her words prompted him to glance up.
They say that girl ya know she act too tough, tough, tough
Well it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl ya know she act so rough, rough, rough
Well it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say, follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down
Till you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems
As Mark's eyes met her own, Dawn gave him a small smile.
She was getting
tired of fighting him off. His drastic moves this week showed that he
might
actually care about her. He risked jail just so he could take her to
Mexico.
I looked above the other day
'Cause I think I'm good and ready for a change
I live my life by the moon
If it's high play it low, if it's harvest go slow, and if it's full then go
But after midnight morning will come
And the day will see if you're gonna get some
'Did she just smile at me?' Mark thought. He took
another look and sure
enough, she was smiling.
They say that girl ya know she act too tough, tough, tough
Well it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl ya know she act so rough, rough, rough
Well it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say, follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down
Till you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems
Mark smiled back, praying she wouldn't jump off stage and
beat his ass
again. But she just kept singing.
I'm searching for things that I just cannot see
Why don't you, don't you, don't you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life
Where is the love that I'm looking to find?
It's all in me, can't you see, I can see, why can't you see it's all in me
"I think Dawn is finally trying to tell Mark
something," Kimmy told Shane.
"Oh, that's lovely," he replied and started sucking
on her neck to which
she giggled and forgot about the world around them.
They say that girl ya know she act too tough, tough, tough
Well it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl ya know she act so rough, rough, rough
Well it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say, follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down
Till you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems
Mark gathered all his courage and walked toward the stage.
He wanted to
speak with Dawn as soon as she was done singing.
Where is your logic?
Who do you need?
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need?
Follow me down; follow me down, down, down
I do not need, I do not need nobody
Where is your logic?
Who do you need?
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need?
Dawn put down the mic and walked over to Mark.
"Take me to the hotel," she
whispered in his ear.
"Anything you want," he answered, took her hand,
and led her out of the
club.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My turn, my turn!" Kian squealed as he ran to the
stage. A huge, cheesy
grin was on his face. "I don't really have a song to sing but I wanna
make
an announcement. Hils and I are gonna get married tomorrow."
"What?" everyone said at the same time and looked
at Hilary. She held up
her left hand, displaying the huge engagement ring.
"Do the papers know about this?" Louis asked.
This was certainly going to
be a huge media event.
