My Lighthouse

To be fixed

Sheila was having a great day. After Mark had send her his message, she had taken some aspirin against her stomach pain and felt a lot better after that. She had such a lot of fun with Gillian, that they even decided to go out that evening. Christie was glad her daughter was picking up the pieces so quickly, although she realized, Mark's message had everything to do with it. When Sheila came downstairs after she had changed to go out, Christie was very emotional by the way she looked. Oh sweetheart! You're looking gorgeous, she said with tears in her eyes. Let me take a picture of you. Christie took Sheila's phone and made a few beautiful pictures of her. Please send it to my phone, Christie asked. Your phone makes better pictures than mine and she laughed when Sheila made funny faces at her. Why don't you buy a new one than mum? Your phone is from the ice age. Well I don't need all those extras, Christie grinned and Sheila knew with extras she meant YouTube, twitter and Facebook. Christie thought, nothing good came from this kind of communication and that's why she refused to buy a phone who provided for all that. But pictures she liked more than anything, memories that last a lifetime, she always said. Sheila knew, that could be positive as well as negative, but never mentioned that to her mum. It's better she doesn't know everything, she said to Gillian when she told her this story. Christie kissed her on her cheek and wished her lots of fun. Before Sheila left, she quickly texted Mark, "I can't wait to hold you in my arms again" added one of the picture to it and pushed send. Hope he likes it, she smiled to her phone.

Mark didn't keep his promise according to the drinking. He had experienced so much emotions the last few days, that it was also a good feeling to relax a little. He even admitted the girls to hang around his neck so once in a while and even kiss him on the cheek. But what began as a nice civilized party, changed when Kian found out about the jacuzzi. The girls immediately got rid of their clothes and jumped into the water naked. Of course they were all seduced to not be such a "wousy" and to get into the tub as well. Mark and Shane provided everyone from drinks first, but when Mark walked back into the kitchen to get the last drinks, the blond girl, Jacky, walked behind him naked and started to kiss him passionately when the door closed. She touched him everywhere and although Mark tried to keep her away from him, his body started to betray him on the way he felt in his heart. He didn't want this anymore. He didn't need any sex, he needed Sheila and to make love to her. But as he wanted to push her away from him, another girl entered the kitchen and started to make lots of pictures of them, with Mark's phone. He had left it on the table and never thought of it, that someone else rather than him, would pick it up and use it. Mark got angry, pushed Jacky aside and tried to grab for his phone. The girl screamed and ran away laughing with his phone in her hand. Because Sheila had just send him her message, the girl thought this was one of his toys as well. So she added the pictures of the naked girls in the jacuzzi and the pictures of Jacky kissing Mark naked in the kitchen, to the message and texted, we are having a lot of fun here too, and pushed send. She laughed out loud when Mark grabbed the phone out of her hand, but when he saw what she had done, he got furious. He grabbed the girl at her arm, pushed them into the living room and shouted that the party was over. Shane was the first one with him to ask what had happened. Within minutes of time, the girls were dressed and pushed out of the cottage. As noisy as it had been before, as quiet it was now. Mark stared at his phone, not knowing what to do. Oh my God, when she sees this, she will never forgive me, she whispered. What if I text her, Nicky asked. And tell her we were set up. Mark looked at Nicky in disbelief. Are you kidding me? Did you see how these pictures look like? The only positive thing about it, is that they didn't put the pictures on YouTube or they copied it to their phones. Mark stared at the floor. She was always the one who protected us against ourselves and look at us now. She's only gone for two days. Suddenly he noticed, Sheila had send him a message, before this all happened. He saw a beautiful picture of Sheila with her sweet text written underneath it. Oh sweetheart, he whispered at the picture. I made a big mess out of it and I am so sorry. He showed Sheila's picture to the boys. No one spoke. Shane bit his lip, thinking hard what to do next. Suddenly he thought of Gillian. Maybe she could go to Sheila and tell her what happened. He took his phone and called Gillian to explain it all.

Gillian's phone rang, but she didn't hear it right away. Your phone is ringing I think, Sheila grinned. Mine has another tone, so luckily it's not me this time. Gillian got her phone out of her bag and saw Shane's name on the screen. It's Shane! She smiled at Sheila. She opened her phone and said, hi sweetie, what's up? Why do you call me this late? Shane probably asked her where she was, because Gillian answered, I am at the pub with Sheila. Gillian listened and said again, yes with Sheila. What?! Gillian listened to what Shane had to tell her and Sheila saw on Gillian's face, it wasn't such a nice story what he had to tell her. No I don't think she saw the message yet, Gillian answered. Sheila got curious now and took her phone out of her bag. Gillian saw to late that she already opened Mark's message. Sheila no! Gillian yelled. Sheila hit her hand before her mouth and got tears in her eyes. You most be kidding me, she mumbled and showed the pictures to Gillian. Oh my God, Gillian said out loud. Oh Lord Shane, what have you done? Shane gave her an answer, but Gillian said, That's no fucking excuse. She put the phone a bit aside and asked, Mark wants to talk to you, do you want to talk to him, Gillian's eyes were spitting fire, she was so angry of the boys. No I don't want to talk to him and he doesn't need to do any effort soon too, she said as calm as she could. Did you hear that, Gillian asked? She listened again and said, Shane says they were set up. Sheila waved with her hand, that was a lame excuse. Did he forgot, I've worked for them for eight years! Don't make me fucking laugh, she said so laud that the boys could here it on the other side of the line. Yes she is furious, wouldn't you be? Gillian answered Shane. I am going to hang up and please leave us alone for now. Gillian was quiet and listened to what Shane had to say. Yes, she is crying. Gillian whispered in the phone, hoping Sheila wouldn't hear. I call you tomorrow....yes I love you too, but this is unforgivable Shane. I understand why she's upset. If I would see pictures like that from you, you wouldn't have to pick up that phone ever again too. Shane answered again, but Gillian decided to end the conversation. She pushed the phone out and stared at Sheila. What if Shane is right and they were set up? Sheila took her phone and showed Gillian the pictures again. Do you see them anywhere with an angry face? These girls are walking around there naked. They don't do that within seconds Gillian. And you know what hurts me the most? This is my cottage. We made love here, for the first time. These memories were so precious to me. Sheila closed her eyes and in her thoughts she saw and felt Mark touching her all over again. She just couldn't believe he would have done something like that, just two hours after he had send her his song. Sheila sighed, I want to go home. Do you mind? Gillian put her arm around her and kissed her on the cheek. No of course I don't mind. You want to go to my place or to yours? Sheila stared at her, I love to go to your place. I will call my mum and tell her, I will stay with you. She won't mind. Within an hour everything was settled and they were at Gillian's apartment with a mug of tea in their hands, curled up on the couch.

Mark was fed up about everything. He wanted to go home, back to Ireland. He wanted his peace of mind and without any explanation towards the lads he called Louis to tell him he was going back to Ireland. He would pay for his own ticket and he would be home within two days. Kian looked at Nicky and said sadly, I am really sorry, I asked those girls to come along. I never thought it would end up like this. Shane frowned. Come on Kian! You really didn't think about something like this could happen? It's time you get a girlfriend of your own Kian. I would never trade Gillian for bimbos like this. And Mark wouldn't either. But because they made these pictures of Mark, he now maybe looses the love of his life. If you are really sorry, than fix it! Shane was angry and he wanted Kian to know that. He walked out of the door and walked back towards the hotel. He was sick and tired of it too and he would tell Louis a piece of his mind, about what happened the last few days. They had a great atmosphere and an absolute fabulous working team. But because of this asshole of a John, who preferred a new function within the company and betrayed Sheila and Mark, everything changed. Not for the better but definitely for the worse. Or Louis was going to fix all this, or they were going home after the charity ball. The choice was on him.......
