My Lighthouse

What if...

It was a great evening with lots of fun, but also time to think things over. Nicky and Kian came right on time, curious what her suite looked like. They were both flabbergasted about the beauty of the suite as well as its view. Gillian and Shane came in a half an hour late, which was strange for Shane's behavior, because he was always on time. But when Sheila looked at Gillian face, she knew why they were late. She couldn't stop smiling and her eyes were shining like never before. As Sheila was busy with pouring everyone a drink, Gillian came standing next to her. She put her arm around Sheila's shoulder and smiled, I haven't thanked you enough for getting me here. Oh yes you have, I only have to look at your face. I just love that beautiful and happy smile on yours and Shane's face. You two make such a gorgeous couple. And so do you two, Gillian smirked while she looked at Mark. Sheila smiled at her, Hmm he makes me happy, but the stupidest thing is, that I am still scared something is going to destroy our happiness together. Gillian looked aside at Sheila. No, why?! You are great together and he can't get his hands of you apparently, she grinned with a naughty smile on her face. What do you mean? Sheila was scared asking. I loved what he did to you on the bus, Gillian whispered. That gave us a boost too, she smiled. Sheila hit her hands before her face. No, oh please don't tell me you saw that. We noticed what he was doing but didn't look. Although your breathing betrayed you. Sheila blushed, oh Gillian I have never done something like that in my life and I will never do so again. I thought it was brave and funny. Shane couldn't get me into the apartment fast enough, she smirked at Sheila. Sheila looked at Mark and felt the love floating threw her body. He asked me to marry him tonight, she said all of a sudden. No! He did?! Gillian was so excited, she congratulated her and kissed her on the cheek, but stopped when she saw that Sheila wasn't happy at all. Don't tell me you said no?! Gillian asked her in shock. I thought he was making a joke. We just had great sex under the shower, I was still clung to him, when he twirled me around in his arms, laughed and said marry me Sheila, please marry me. Sheila silenced and closed her eyes for a moment. Suddenly she realized what she had done. He was already planning to ask her, but because of his utter happiness he asked her sooner. And I even said to him, not to ask such a silly questions again tonight. She took a deep breath. I will talk to him later. She poured in his Whiskey, blinked at Gillian and said, I will try to do my best to convince him I am sorry. But deep in her heart she knew, he wouldn't ask her any time soon now. Mark liked the surprise effect and this was definitely a surprise, only pity Sheila didn't understand it the right way.

She put her hand on his shoulder and Mark looked aside. Thank you babe, he said softly. She handed him his whiskey and he almost drank it at once. Sheila frowned but didn't say anything. He was talking to Nicky about an idea during a performance and he was always serious when it came to working out new ideas. But Sheila saw something different as well. He laughed alright during the evening, but something was on his mind which wasn't there before. It most have been his disappointment about his marriage proposal. But why did he asked her in such a stupid way? How could she know he was serious? He was fooling around the whole day. She would definitely talk to him about it tonight. She walked over to Shane, Kian and Gillian and soon they were fooling around about lots of other things and because of that, she forgot all about it.

They had lots of fun in the jacuzzi and the champagne flowed freely throughout the night, when Mark suddenly called it a day. We have to be working in that dreadful heat again tomorrow, so I think it's better we all get some sleep. All the lads agreed on him and after they were all dressed again, they thanked Sheila for the great evening and went home to their own hotel rooms. When they were all gone, Mark stood outside on the balcony staring into the night. He was only wearing his jeans and Sheila knew nothing underneath. She walked up to him from behind and started to stroke his back, even massaging his shoulders. Mark closed his eyes and moaned a little. Hmm feels good. You always feel good, Sheila whispered and put her arms around him and caressed his hairy chest. Mark put his hand on one of hers while he took a sip of his whiskey. Yeah, I hope you will alway feel that way about us. Sheila kissed his back over and over again, while her hands caressed his body and she mumbled, why shouldn't I be? You make me happy and make me feel loved. Loved enough? Mark asked seriously. Sheila took a deep breath, yes, more than I can handle in one lifetime, so I will be seeing you again in a second one. She wanted to make him feel a little bit more enlightened, but Mark remained serious. Sheila put her arms around his chest real tight and lay her head against his back. I would definitely have said yes, without a doubt, if you had asked me now. I really thought you were making a joke, because we were fooling around all day and marriage isn't something to fool around about. If you really want me to marry you, than ask me when you're absolutely serious about it. Because marriage should be something that lasts a lifetime and should be taken seriously. I take our relationship seriously sweetheart even without a marriage. She kissed his back again and her hands sensually stroke his belly down over his jeans. She heard him sigh and his breathing was starting to go faster. Maybe you're right. When the time is right, I will ask you seriously. He drank the rest of his whiskey in one gulp, put it on the table next to him and turned around. He stared into her eyes and took her face between his hands. I won't love anyone else anyway, so we might as well try to act like a married couple and see where it brings us. Come and live with me, when we're back in Sligo babe. He slowly and sensually kissed her lips and his tongue found his way into her mouth. She tasted the whiskey mixed with the herbs form the salad he had eaten and she felt her heart beating wildly because of the question he just asked her. Yes, I will, Sheila said softly while tears came in her eyes. Why do you always get me turned on? Sheila whispered while he passionately kept on kissing her. Because we love each other and because I am a great lover, Mark grinned. Oh please! That's a turn off! Sheila said out loud. Mark laughed, lifted her up and while he walked towards the bed, he whispered, well let's turn you on again then and he slowly lay her down on the bed to make love to her while they took all the time they needed...
