I was sat writing with Gregg and Ronan when Mikey came into the studio later that day. We were working on the ending of the song that Karen and Shelley had passed onto us. It was one of those jobs that we'd all been trying to avoid, but we'd agreed to work on it again that afternoon for some reason.

We were currently working on the bridge line and so far had bruised by every consequence but just could not write a follow up line. We were grateful when Michael turned up for the distraction.

"Hey guys" he said as he walked into the office. I stopped and looked up warily at the sound of his voice. He looked hot in his tight white tshirt, tan leather jacket and dark jeans. 

"Hey Mike" I said. "How are you?"

"I'm good Vic thanks" he walked over to me and leant across the table to kiss my cheek. His stubble tickled my skin and I could still feel the touch of his skin on mine as he went to greet the others. 

I glanced over at Gregg who was staring at me with a bemused expression and blushed.

He already knew that I had the hots for Ronan. He'd practically tickled the information out of me weeks before, until I'd gasped breathlessly the answer he'd been waiting for. And now, if I wasn't mistaken he could tell that I fancied Mike as well... Great.

"So anyway" said Mike as he sat down next to me which caused Gregg to grin. 

I glared at him.

"Where are we at guys?"

"Ok, so we're on this line here" I slid my notepad in front of him and pointed to the line 'Bruised by every consequence'.

"And this is?"

"Oh it's erm, When The Sun Goes Down... Well provisionally"

"It's the one that Shelley and Karen wrote" I added quietly. 

"Ah ok. So it's...." he started humming the chorus to me and Ronan joined in. 

"That's it"

"Bruised by every consequence" They sang together, and then Ronan stopped. Michael continued humming to himself for a few minutes then sang.

"But we're all sitting on the fence these days"

"And then I think back to, Fix a broken coffee cup the never ending washing up won't wait"

"Mike you are a genius!" 

He laughed. "I don't think so"

"No seriously, we've been trying to think of that all bloody day"

"Ah, you know, sometimes it just needs a new pair of eyes...and ears" he grinned at me. My heart skipped a beat. I smiled back at him. He locked eyes with me and I held my breath involuntarily.

Why did he have to look at me like that? I swallowed, looked away, and fiddled with my pen nervously.

"Right" said Gregg suddenly making me jump. "Now that's done what do you say we call it a day and go down the pub now"

"If I'd known you were gonna do that. I'd have met you in the pub" laughed Mike. I put my hand on his arm and said, "Yeah, but if you hadn't turned up we wouldn't be going down the pub!" We all laughed.
