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

Sixty Eight

"Vic babe, you coming to bed?" yelled Ronan from the master bedroom.

"Yeah I'm on way" I said as quietly as I could. We'd spent a quiet afternoon together all of us, Ronan seemingly reluctant to leave my side after the days revelations, as a consequence I wasn't really tired. But didn't want Ro to go to bed and leave me downstairs on my own. 

It might've seemed stupid, but after dredging it all up again I was once again painfully aware of what Dan was capable off.

I settled Jessica into her cot, kissed her cheek gently, then tiptoed from the room. Ro was already in bed when I got there, I undressed quickly and jumped in beside him. I jumped slightly as I felt his hand on my not quite flat stomach. I gasped at the heat that appeared to be coming from him, swallowed hard and turned to face him. 

The desire I had felt the day before appeared to have returned. It had been so long that Ro mistook my sudden movement towards him for wanting a cuddle and moved his arm up to stroke my cheek gently. "Nice to have peace at last, hey babe?"

"Yeah" I whispered hoarsely, and moving slightly reached my arm up out of the covers and took his hand in mine. I kissed it gently then moved even closer to him, pressing my body against his, I took my hand and put it under his chin and gently raised his lips to meet mine. He looked at me searchingly then kissed me softly. I kissed him back. "Vic are you su -"

I was about to tell him I'd never been surer when we were interrupted by Jessica screaming - loudly.

"I'll go babe" sighed Ro.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course"

"You do enough"

"I won't be long" he said as he climbed out of bed, put his jeans on and planted a kiss on my forehead on the way out of the door.

I lay my head back down on the pillow and sighed contentedly, Ro was so wonderful with Jess, like I'd never imagined. 

I couldn't believe that my once dull life had turned out to be such a fairytale.

As I rolled over, I thought it would be time to get back to reality soon, as the winner of a reality TV show I had to make the most of every moment. Because no matter how successful I was today, there was probably somebody less than two steps behind me who was only going to be more so. 

And even though I was married to Ro now, I didn't want to give up on my dream...

I smiled to myself, sometimes I dared hardly believe that this was my life!

"She's settled now" Ro said softly as he came back into the room.

"Hmmm?" I mumbled, half asleep already.

"Never mind babe" he said, as he climbed into bed beside me. I snuggled up to him, aware that he was probably feeling a bit left out with all the attention Jessica was getting. He stroked my arm gently.

I rolled over to give him a kiss, maybe we should finish what we'd started...but he was already snoring gently.

"Night Ro" I smiled to myself.
