‘Hello?'
Chloe asked questionably down the phone. 'Hey sweetie, I've missed you'
Bryan replied. 'Hey babe, I missed you to, where are you calling from
today then.' Chloe joked 'Sweden, listen darling that’s why I'm calling,
I can't make it home tomorrow.'
'Oh.' pause 'that's ok, I know you gotta work, I'll just have to wait for
my presents when you get home.' 'Yep, so its ok sweetie.' 'Yeah, I'll miss
you though.' 'I know, I wish I could be there, but I can't I'll make it up
to you I promise.' 'Ok, listen Bryan I have to go, my boss is calling me.'
'Yeah ok, love ya my angel.' 'Love you to babe.' 'Love you more bye.' 'I
don't think so, bye.' 'Bye.' 'Bye.' 'Bye.' 'Will you put the phone down,'
Chloe chuckled 'Nope, I love hearing your voice.' 'Listen I really have to
go, love you to bye.' With this Chloe put the phone down.'She fell for it
then.' Shane asked Bryan, from behind. 'Yep.' Bryan said picking up his
suitcase from the conveyer belt, in Heathrow airport 'She would never
guess I am only about a 10 minute drive away.' 'You sure you can stay away
that long, Bryan' Mark laughed from behind 'Hey is that all you think
about, I've got one more day to wait, I know I can, it'll be hard, but
lets hope she likes her surprise tomorrow.' 'What you doing for her
birthday again, Bryan.' Nicky asked placing his hand on Bryans shoulder.
'Here we go again.' Kian mumbled. 'The millionth time.' 'Well.......'
Bryan began, as he and the lads headed for the awaiting car.
*Chloe's Birthday, 17th December*
It was 11am and Chloe was in the office typing up the new gossip for her
magazine, when there was knock on the door, she looked up from her
computer. 'Hello are you Miss Chloe Evans.' 'Yes, that’s me.' He came
over and handed her a bunch of red roses 'These are for you, from a Mr.
McFadden.' Chloe stared at the roses they were beautiful. 'Thanks.' with
that he left, everyone in the office smiled and went back to work. From
then on she had a smile on her face. At about 2pm, Janice came into the
room.
'Hey.' Chloe said without lifting her head 'Hey, Ohhhh who are these
from.' She knew exactly who they where from, she was in with this surprise
to; actually she was on business then. 'There beautiful, why are you not
with Bryan?' She asked, she knew the answer he was in London, but Chloe
didn't know. 'Oh he's still in Sweden, he couldn't make it home.' 'Oh poor
you, anyway seen as though where both lonely, why don't we do some girly
shopping,' 'Yeah, ok let me just pack up.' 'I'll wait in the car.' Janice
rushed out the office and dialed Bryan's number. 'Hello' 'Bryan, it's all
sorted, what time should we come back from shopping.'
'Is 7 ok.' 'Yes, sure, gotta go, she's coming, bye.' 'Bye.' 'Who where you
talking, to.' Chloe asked as she jumped into the car.
'Just a friend, ready to shop.' 'You bet.' 6:30pm 'My feet hurt.’ Chloe
complained ‘I've had enough, I wanna go home, will you drop me of, Jan.'
Chloe asked sitting down on a bench. 'So soon.' She asked looking at her
watch. 'Only if you come in this last shop.' 'Fine.' They entered the
latest fashion shop 'Oh Chloe, you gotta try this on,' 'I dunno, it's a
bit, to tight and look, how short it is.'
'Go on, give Bryan a little surprise when he gets back.' 'I dunno.' 'Just
try it on, you don't have to buy the damn thing.'
'Ok, keep your top on.' Chloe chuckled and entered the small changing
cubicle. 'Janice phoned Bryan again 'Are you ready.'
'Yes' 'So it's ok to go to the flat.' 'Yes' 'Thank God,' 'C ya soon.'
'This better be worth it, Bryan.' 'Hopefully it will, bye.'
'Bye.' Chloe came out of the cubicle, with the dress on, 'What do you
think.’ Janice turned round and gasped 'You have to by it, no buts and I
mean no buts.' 'Yeah ok, I think I will.' Chloe paid for the dress and
they headed for her flat. 'Thanks Jan, you really took my mind of things.'
'No problem, girly shopping always works.' 'Yeah, thanks for the lift,
bye.' Chloe waved Janice of as she turned the corner in her car and headed
for her flat as she reached the door, she found a note, and intrigued she
opened it.
Dear Chloe,
Sorry I can't be where you are,
I count my blessings under every wishing star,
My love for you in words, can not be expressed
You fill me up with happiness
So go inside and look for something that stands out from everything in the
room
That is equivalent to me and you
This will lead you to the next clue
Love you always
Bryan

Puzzled, Chloe kept rereading the letter, what did he mean Chloe
thought. She picked up her shopping and entered their flat. She gasped as
she entered the room; every inch was covered with red roses. She looked at
the letter again, what can stand out to red roses, she thought, as she
looked up she saw a white rose, sitting on the coffee table, she made her
way over and picked it up, underneath it was another note.
My angel,
White roses stand out from red; well at least I think they do
They reminded me of doves, angels and especially you
What am I getting at I hear you say
Well that will be revealed at the end of the day
Now turn around, and count One, two, three
Out the door you will then see
The next but of the surprise will be revealed,
With my love it has been sealed.
Love you
Bryan
Chloe grabbed her coat and headed out the flat, she nearly screamed
when she saw what was outside, there in the car park, was the car she had
always wanted. A silver, BMW convertible, it had a bow on the front, she
ran over to it and in the front seat was a white rose, with a note saying
Chloe. Chloe squealed and quickly opened it, her face full of joy.
Meanwhile Janice and Shane where stood round the corner laughing as they
saw Chloe's face, but decided to move on and tell Bryan, she was on her
way. Chloe quickly glanced at what it said.
My angel,
This is the last note of the clue
So listen carefully at what I'm trying to say to you,
Now get in the car and go to a place we know well
It was the place my love for you fell
There you where placed in my heart and soul
And there you'll stay cause you make me whole
It was the first time we met
Instantly I knew I was blessed
Do you know where I mean?
I'll give you a clue, the place with the little stream.
My love,
Bryan

The PARK, it’s got to be the park, now she was intrigued, she jumped
in the car and rushed through the busy streets of London. She appeared at
the gates at 8pm, it was already dark, she was getting nervous and scared,
she gently open the gate and made her way to the lake. No one was there
which spooked her. 'BRYAN' she yelled. 'HELLO, ANYONE THERE.' Suddenly the
park lit up with fairy lights all the trees where covered, it was amazing
Chloe gasped, and then music started playing. One of her favorite westlife
songs, Close. She heard singing behind her; she turned around to see Bryan
singing. 'Bryan.' She screamed with joy, 'How......' 'Shhh.' He said as he
placed a finger on her lips. 'Will you do me the honor of this dance.' he
whispered, Chloe nodded. He took her in his arms and they slowly danced to
the music, he sung the lyrics into her ear, while caressing her soft brown
hair.
Across the miles it's funny to me
How far you are, but how near
You seem to be I could talk all night just to hear
You breathe I could spend my life just living
This dream You're all I ever need
You give me strength You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone
To hold When I'm in your arms, I need you to know
I've never been, never been
This close
Of all the loves I used to know
I kept my distance, I never let it go
But in your arms, I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held and I've
Never been kissed In this way
You're all I ever need,
You're all I ever need
He stopped singing and gently got down on one knee in front of Chloe, she
stared at him wide eyed. 'Bryan?' She softly asked. 'Chloe, I've loved for
what seems like forever to me, and I want to continue loving you forever,
your my sunshine, my breath, my love, my world and I've never been so
close to someone as I'm close to you at this very moment now, I will love
you forever and I never want to let our love go, so.....' He paused as he
pulled a little satin box out of his pocket and revealed a small diamond
engagement ring, tears rolled from Chloe's eyes. Bryan continued 'So Chloe
Simone Evans, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife.' Shocked Chloe
struggled for words she nodded instead. 'I.... would... love. To.' Bryan
got of his knee and slipped the ring on Chloe's finger. 'I love you.' He
whispered before he pulled her into a passionate kiss, as they pulled
away. Chloe whispered. 'I love you to, forever.' Bryan and Chloe smiled as
snow trickled from the sky. Time stopped, it was only them in their own
little world and it would stay like that as long as they loved each other
and continued being close.
