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

Thirty Five

"Hello?" he answered, his accent sounding stronger than usual.

"Yes" I said simply.

"Huh?"

"Yes, the answers yes...I got your card" I replied.

"Really?"

"Yes!" I laughed.

"Aw baby, I'm so happy" he said "I was kind of scared that you wouldn't want to go out with me"

Was he mad?!

"Are you mad?" I asked him. 

"I can't think of anything I'd want more"

"Really?" he answered suggestively and I could just picture him raising his eyebrows at me.

"Well not right at the moment" I laughed. "Thank you for my presents, they are stunning! How did you know..."

"That you like stars?" It was his turn to laugh now

"Vic, babe you've got them everywhere, on your mobile, on your clothes..."

"Oh...yeah" "well they're amazing, you shouldn't have" I scolded.

"Yes I should! Now enjoy your day, I've got to go."

"Aw, ok bye hun"

"Bye babe, have a wonderful day".

The house phone rang as soon almost as soon I'd put my mobile down.

"Hello?"

"Happy birthday darling"

"Mum!"

She sounded a lot closer than usual, she sounded really clear. The line we usually had was awful and most days when we spoke it was a struggle to hear her. "Did you like your present?"

"Yes thank you mum" I laughed. "It worked too...."

"What?"

I knew that would surprise her.

"Already? But you shouldn't have had it until this morning?" she said puzzled.

"I didn't! I was joking. Well sort of, Ronan and I are going out now"

"Since when? Why didn't you tell me!"

"I didn't know myself until about ten minutes ago!" I answered laughing at her impatience.

"Oh! I'm pleased for you love, you deserve to be happy"

"Aw thanks mum". "Don't forget my invitation to the wedding!"

"Mum!!!"

"Listen I've got to go, I'll call you again later"

"Ok mum. Bye"

"Bye".
