Knee deep in my heart

Applications

Shane
On Tuesday I got a call from Mr Cooper, who made our office work and also got the applications for the new job as my physiotherapist. I drove immediately to the office. "Hello Mr Cooper." "Hi Shane. We got five applications. Four men and one woman. A beautiful woman Shane." "Show me the men first." I had a look and shoked three times my head. "I will take them with me to talk with the lads and Louis. I have one faveourite from the men. Show me the woman Mr Cooper." "Here Shane. " I couldn't believe my eyes. She rememberd me to the woman in the pub, but the photo was black and white and I couldn't see the hair color. Then I read the name. Sophia Summer. Sophia! The application was perfect and she had good qualifications. "Shane, do you know this lady?" "It sounds crazy Mr Cooper, but I think I saw her in Dublin. And since that day I can't get her out of my head." "So you just made your desicion?" I smiled. "First I have to talk with the lads and Louis, but I think yes." "I would also say the woman and the one from the men have the best qualifications. But maybe we get more applications." "I hope not.", I smiled.

I went immediately to Louis and called the lads to come. "Hi Shane,  you're bringing some applications?" "Yes Louis, but I think I decided me.From this four men only this one. He has the best qualificstions I think and this woman here. We should invite them both." "Let's see Shane." "Yes, this three are out." The doorbell rung. "The boys are here.", I said and opened the door. "Hey guys, come in. I think I've found my new physiotherapist." They looked at the applications of the four men. "Defenitely this one.", Nicky said. Then they looked at the womans picture. "She looks like the one in the pub Shay.", Kian said. "Read the name.", I smiled. "Sophia Summer.", Mark read. "Sophia?!", Nicky looked at me. "Do you know her guys?", Louis asked. "Not personally, but we are sure that we saw her in the pub in Dublin. Shane asked the guy on the bar for her name. And her name was Sophia.", Kian smiled. "Why did you asked the guy and not her, Shane?", Louis wanted to know. "It's a long story. But now I've found her and her qualifications are good." "Ok, let's call Mr Cooper that he can invite this both for next Monday. But I think not before Friday. Maybe we'll get more applications." "Alright Louis. But my decision...." "Is Sophia.", they said in the choir. I laughed. "But Shane, if both are coming on Monday we should do no decision without trial work with both.", Louis said. "Ok."
"Shane, let's have a drink together tonight in the pub.", Nicky said. "Good idea buddy. Will you come too?", I looked at Kian and Mark. "Yes sure. Let's say 7pm." "Ok guys, see you there." "See you Louis." "Bye guys and don't drink to much.", Louis laughed.

On my way home I was thinking about her again. What if this Sophia was the woman I was searching in Dublin? It couldn't be another girl. I was really excited. In the late afternoon I took a shower. A long shower, because I forgot the time. I was happy. I sang my whole life out, when I suddenly got an idea for a song I could write. I jumped out of the shower and wrote the words down. KNEE DEEP IN MY HEART.

At 6.30pm I drove to the pub and parked there 20 minutes later next to Nickys car. I didn't saw Kians or Marks car. But when I was opening the door I heard Kians laugh. He was always the loudest of us four. Mark was there too. "Hi guys." "Hi Shane, here take a Guinness.", Nicky said. "I cannot wait till Monday guys." "And the trial work, huh?", Kian laughed. I just smiled. "We should be excited for Friday. The tickets for the Croke Park shows will be on sale.", Mark said. "Do you think it's gonna be sold out so fast as the rest of the tour?", I asked. "It was in less then 10 minutes completely sold out.", Nicky said. "Yes, but to nights in Croke Park. It's unbelievable that we're playing there twice.", I said. "Slàinte.", Kian said with his second Guiness in his hand. "Slàinte."
