Bailamos? | Mark Owen [Take That]

Chapter 35

"So what brought you to England, then?" Leanne asked me.

"Not 'what' but 'who' I should say..." I giggled "My friend, Elizabeth..."

"Oh, Greta's told me about her, haven't you luv?" Gary said looking at her "You've been friends since high-school or something?"

"Actually, they are my sister's friends..."

"You got a sister...?" Howard asked looking intrigued.

"Yeah, a twin sister..."

"Gawd...!" Gary shook his head and exclaimed "Every guy's fantasy...!"

"Oh, come on Gaz...!" Jason rolled his eyes "I can't believe you're saying this in front of your girlfriend...!"

"Oh, excusezmoi Mister I-don't -have-eyes-for-another-person-who's-not-my-girlfriend...!" Gary told Jay sarcastically "But I'm not just talking about what I think when I say that every guy has the fantasy of sleeping with twin sisters...!"

"Mate, I don’t think she’s quite comfortable with this conversation..." Howard intervened.

"Oh, excusez moi Mister I'm-defending-the-newbie-cuz-I-think-she's-beautiful..." Gaz said.

"Mate...!" Jay exclaimed.

"Ermmm..." Howard blushed, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets and there was a sudden loud silence at the table.

Someone had to changes subjects quickly, I thought. I looked at Jason giving Gary a dreadful look; Howard had lowered his eyes as he shook his head and Gary was sipping his coffee quietly, as if nothing had happened. Leanne and Greta just looked at each other and then quickly turned to me.

"Gary, you use that expression too often, don't you think?" I blurted out.

"What expression?" he asked innocently.

"Excusez moi Mister I'm-acting-as-if-I-didn't-know-what-the-newbie-is-talking-about..." I mocked him.

"She's right, mate..." Howard laughed loudly.

"Oh... well---" Gaz muttered before he would stand up and head toward the toilets, making me realize that perhaps that was the chance I was looking for to talk to him.

"Excusez moi," I giggled and stood up too "I'm afraid I need the ladies'..."

"Me too...!" Gre exclaimed and we went to the toilets as she chattered non-stop about how weird it was that I loved Mark and now it seemed that Howard had a crush on me.

"Yeh, yeh... just go in there and I’ll wait for you outside--- I wanna talk to Gaz..."

Right, I was going to wait for him until he came out of the toilets to make sure that he hadn't told Mark anything about what he had heard Gre and I saying the previous day because if he had, then I was screwed. Although something told me that Mark still didn't know anything about who I really was...
