WestFiction- "Thank You" by Lajla

Ciara sighted as she looked around the room. It was gonna be yet another hard day at work, and by the time she will come home in the evening she would be too tired to do anything, which meant that she won't have time to unpack all those boxes in hers and Bryan's, her fiancée’s new apartment. Apartment which they bought together, apartment which meant the beginning of their lives together. Bryan proposed Ciara on their one year anniversary, which they were celebrating in some expensive restaurant. At the end of the night, Bryan got down on his knees in front of all those people in the restaurant, took out a little bordeaux box in which was a beautiful diamond ring, and asked her the question. She was so delighted, she started crying as she said yes, and Bryan let out a sight of relief. And now, 2 months after they got engaged, they moved into an apartment in the centre of Dublin.

And even if I could

It would all be grey

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

It's not so bad

Ciara just got promoted on her job, she was a graphic designer, and she was working very hard. She often stayed till midnight in her office, cos there was just too much to do. Which didn't leave her too much time to unpack all those boxes in their apartment. And Bryan not being there much wasn't helping either. It wasn't that Ciara wanted him to leave everything he ever dreamed about and stay at home, it was just that she missed him a lot. And he missed her too, but he also had to follow his dream, he had a responsibility, which was Westlife. And he loved being in Westlife, it was all he ever hoped for. And he practically lived for those days off they got every now and then, because he knew he was gonna go home to the girl he loved more than anything on the world, even if it was just for a few days.

I drank too much last night

Got bills to pay

My head just feels in pain

I missed the bus

And there'll be hell today

Even though they missed each other very much, they knew that time when they will together 24 hours a day would come soon. Bryan promised her to take a long break from Westlife when they get married. Maybe even have kids.

Ciara smiled at the thought of that. Children. They would be a part of Bryan. As she thought about Bryan and his cute smile, beautiful blue eyes, his strong arms and his warm heart, she got out of bed and had some breakfast. She looked at the clock, which read five to 10. She gasped, cos she knew she missed the bus by just five minutes. Which would mean she has to walk to work, and she would be late……again. She was feeling very tired lately, but she loved her job and didn't want to quit it. Bryan told her she doesn't need to work, that he made more than enough with Westlife. But she enjoyed being at work and doing all those things graphic designers do.

I'm late for work again

And even if I'm there

They'll all imply

That I might not last the day

She was an hour late for work that day, and as always, her boss told her off. He even threatened her that he'll fire her if she doesn't come to work on time again. But she just had a lot on her mind, and she could barely wait for Bryan to come home.

She got to her desk and sat down. She looked around and noticed all her work colleges were looking at her, pitying her. She looked back in front of her disgusted. Why couldn't all those people just mind their own business? They knew she was engaged to Bryan McFadden, 1/5 of the famous band Westlife. They knew he wasn't home all that much, and they all thought Bryan was cheating on her. They figured he's famous, so he can have all those beautiful models. But Ciara didn't listen to them, she knew Bryan loved her, and that she meant much more than all those countless models. Although she did wonder every now and then. But she had her best friend, Aileen, to tell her otherwise. She was the only person she could really tell all to. Except Bryan, of course. But since Bryan wasn't around that much……

- “Don't mind them, Cia!» - Aileen whispered. – “They just don't have anything better to do than to

talk nonsense.”

- “Thanx, Lee. You can always make me feel better!” - she smiled to her best friend, as her phone

rang.

- “Yes?” - she answered.

And then you call

And it's not so bad

It's not so bad

- “Baby, how you doin'?” - she melted as she recognized that voice. She would recognize it anytime and

anywhere.

- “Bry, I'm so glad you called!”

- “Why? Has something happened?” - he asked worried.

- “No, nothing happened. I just needed to hear your voice, that's all. I miss you so much, sweetie.” -

she said a bit sad.

- “I know baby, I miss you too. But hey, cheer up! I've got a surprise for you!”

- “Oh, I love surprises! What is it?” - she asked impatiently.

- “Well, it wouldn't be a surprise if I tell, now would it?” - he said cheekily. He knew Ciara loved

surprises, and he always loved the look on her face as she discovered what the surprise was. – “You're just gonna have to wait until tonight to find out!”

- “Oh, you cheeky thing! Can't wait!” - just as she was about to say something else, she heard her boss

yelling to get off the phone and start working, or she really would lose her job. – “Bry, baby, I have to go. My boss is going bananas! I'll call you tonight then, OK?”

- “Sure honey! I love you!”

- “Love you too! Bye!”

And they hung up.

I want to thank you for giving me

The best day of my life

Oh just to be with you

Is having the best day of my life

The day went by fast, and soon it was 8pm, time for her to go home. On her way to the apartment, she got lost in her own thoughts, and before she knew it, she was in front of their front door. She opened the door and got in.

Push the door

I'm home at last

And I'm soaking

Through and through

And then you hand me a towel

And all I see is you

Not until she looked up did she saw that there were candles everywhere, a quiet music playing in the background, and there were rose petals on the floor, forming some kind of a path. She put all of her things on the floor, and with a slight smile on her face, followed the petals. They led her to their bedroom. She slowly opened the door, knowing she will find something precious to her in there. And she wasn't wrong. Right there, on the bed, lying in just his boxer shorts, and with a rose between his lips, was her one and only love - Bryan. She laughed slightly.

- “So? What do you think?” - he asked grinning.

- “I love it! You really do know how to surprise me!” - she said as she lay on the bed next to her. He

handed her the rose, placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

- “We got a day off, so I thought I'd surprise you! I missed you terribly.” - he said seriously.

- “I missed you too, love. But I'm glad you're here now, even if it is just for a day.”

He smiled to her and kissed her gentle at first. Then those kisses turned into passionate French kissing. They both knew what was gonna happen next, as they pulled the sheets over their heads.

And even if my house falls down now

I wouldn’t have a clue

Because you're near me

That was all they needed, just to feel each other warmth on their bodies. To feel the love they were sharing. And to know that whatever happens, every would be alright, as long as they got each other.

- “Thank you, Bryan.” - Ciara suddenly said.

- “For what, baby?” - he asked confused.

- “Just for being here. For loving me.”

He answered her by smiling the sweetest smile and giving her the most honest kiss she ever received……

I want to thank you for giving me

The best day of my life

Oh just to be with you

Is having the best day of my life
