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

Eighty

Vic

After that night Ro took time to do some promo for the single when he could. I took Jess with me on the dates that I could, Ro looked after her at other times, and if we clashed, well then it was the turn of Uncle Mick and Aunty Karen as they became affectionately known. 

As a consequence for the next six months me and Ro barely saw each other. It was hard, really hard. I felt like part of me had been taken away. And I know it sounds stupid but even back then it felt like we were drifting apart.

I guess neither of us wanted to admit it at the time.

The final date of the tour was Dublin, I'd been in Cardiff the night before and the weather had been awful, bloody torrential rain, which meant we'd been delayed and I hadn't been able to get home before the gig as I'd said I would. So it would be the first time I'd seen Ro or Jess in about six weeks, and I couldn't wait!

Ro hadn't come to the gig, said he'd been wanting to make us dinner for when I got back. Bless him. Barrie dropped me off at the house at about half eleven promising to bring all my stuff 'round in the morning. I let myself in with my key and smiled at my husband who'd obviously heard the car and come to greet me.

"Hey babe"

"Hey"

"Where's Jessi.."

"Asleep" said Ronan, reading my mind. "We are, all alone Mrs. Keating" he said, taking a step closer to me. He planted a kiss on my forehead, then kissed my nose before finding my lips. He kissed me softly. I kissed him back just as softly. He took that as a sign, and kissed me harder. I knew where he was going with it, but wasn't sure I could provide...

"Ro, I really don't thi.." I was absolutely shattered, really wanted a bath and an early night. Well at least an earlier night than I'd been having on tour.

I was silenced with a look that only Ronan could give. I should have been grateful that he still wanted me. He could've had any girl in the world. But he still fancied little old me.

He bent and kissed my neck gently as I stepped closer to him and circled my arms around his waist. He started singing to me softly, suddenly, and I melted into him.

Come be my baby

Please come be my baby now

Let's just make love

Come on let me show you how

He stopped almost as abruptly as he had started and I looked up at him. I tiptoed and kissed him to which he responded hungrily. His grip tightened around me as our kisses became much more passionate, much like before we were married. I broke away and looked at him meaningfully. "I'm sorry Ro" I said softly. "I've missed you".

He didn't respond for a moment, then said "I love you" he said and took my hand and led me up to the bedroom without another word.
