Life Is A Rollercoaster (Ronan Keating / Boyzone / X Factor) fan fiction

Twenty Eight

The moment was ruined by the shrill ringing of the house phone.

Dammit!

I picked up the receiver from the coffee table where Sophie had left it earlier, so that I could answer it easily. "Hello?"

"Hey only me" said Sophie " I've just seen Dan!"

"What?!"

"I said he could come around, so you could sort things out"

"Oh" I said.

"Is that ok? I thought it best that you get it over and done with"

"Er yeah....Ronan's here"

"He is?" she squealed delightedly at me, I laughed "turns out you were right"

"Ha ha, but what are we going to do about Dan?"

"Might as well do this now" I said, "might help to have him here" I said referring to Ronan.

"Ok if you're sure? I'll get Dave to come round as well"

"Ok, I'd better go, I think my visitors getting bored!" I said, I looked at Ronan who had his head resting on the back of the settee, and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"Oh I'm sure you'll think of something to keep him entertained" she said laughing now, "Sophie!"

"Right I've gotta get back to work"

"Ok see you later"

"Yeah bye Vic"

"Bye"

I put the phone still laughing at Sophie's comment. Ronan looked at me quizzically, "What are you laughing at missy?"

"I can't tell you that!"

"I'll tickle you until you tell me!"

I threw him a look that said 'you wouldn't dare'. He stood up and stood over me, before I knew what had happened I was flat on my back on the sofa with Ronan Keating tickling me half to death.

"Ah Ro stop!!" I gasped. "Not until you tell me"

"I can't" I said I was laughing hysterically, I must have been the most ticklish person in the world.

"Ow! shite!" I said suddenly silently cursing.

"Vic?"

"My leg, stupid fucking stitches!"

"Aw you poor thing" he grabbed me gently around the waist, lifted me up and sat me on his lap. "Want me to kiss them better?" glancing at me suggestively.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea" I answered a little nervously.

"Can I see them?"

"Not sure that's a good idea either" I smiled.

"Aw please???" he looked at me.

"Oh alright then". I said. Against my better judgement I lifted the hem of my skirt up gently trying not to expose too much flesh. As much as I'm sure he wouldn't have minded, I didn't really want him to see the extent of the damage until it had healed a little more.

"Aw hon" he said sympathetically.

They looked bad, probably worse than they actually were, as they'd not really started to heal over yet.

He very gently touched the very bottom of the stitches, I swallowed hard when he put his hand on my leg, he awoke some kind of desire in me that I'd never felt before. He started tracing the scar slowly with this finger, I took his hand gently away, I couldn't let him carry on, if his hand went much higher there'd be no going back. 

He looked at me, I think he understood.

"Ro, how come...?" I started but found myself unable to finish the sentence, I didn't want it to come out the wrong way.

"I'm here?" he said, I nodded. "My day off, I did promise!" "I have to fly back to Dublin tonight though but I really wanted to see you before I went home"

"You did?"

"Yes I did"

"Vic I think I...." I held my breath without realising. "I really like you, I..."

I must've looked shocked, scared or both. "Are you ok? You've gone pale all of a sudden"

"I'm fine" I managed to whisper. "You were saying?"

I looked at him, he stared deep into my eyes, before I knew what was happening his lips were on mine, he kissed me gently, and then pulled away. "I really really really like you" he said finally.

"Really?" I teased.

"Really!"

I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach, I knew I felt nothing but desire after the feeling of his lips on mine, but there was something else. It felt like I was falling in love with him. 

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.

"Ro I really like you too" I whispered.

We stared at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly my arms were up around his neck, and he was kissing me much more passionately, running his fingers through my hair.

He left out a barely audible groan of pleasure. I pulled away slowly "Ro?" he looked at me with desire in his eyes.

" I..."

"Sophie bumped into Dan in town earlier"

Ronan's eyes darkened as I said his name.

"He's coming around later"

He looked angry for a second.

"We've got to finish it properly" I said.

His expression changed into one of sympathy and he pulled me closer to him. "I won't let him hurt you...ever" he said. I relaxed into his embrace and lay back on the sofa with my head on his chest, it felt so right.
