It was around 8pm Miranda had just got out of the shower; as usual she had on her sheep pyjamas and hotel slippers. She stood in the kitchen and took out the hairdryer to dry her hair. The loud noise muffled out the sound of the door and didn't hear it open nor did she hear Gary step into the room, he walked up behind her and slipped his hands around her waist. Shivers ran down her spine as she practically jumped out of her skin..."hello" he whispered softly, Miranda instantly relaxed to hear that it was only Gary and not a mass murderer about to kill her but still felt tense again as she realised how close she was to him right now. 'What brought this on she wondered?'
Gary took Miranda's hand and pulled her over to the sofa, it had been a week since she blurted out that she loved him and they hadn't spoken since. He began to speak softly "I'm sorry I didn't reply to you in the restaurant, i was so shocked that it came out that way then before i could gather my thoughts you snogged Gary Barlow right in front of me"
"Sorry about that" Miranda interrupted, "it was just to get back at Stevie for kissing you earlier that day..."
"Yes why was that?" he questioned "actually that's irrelevant, I came here to tell you something not to quiz you."
Miranda looked confused yet hopeful "well go ahead what did you want to say?"
"Oh you make it sound so simple, but it's not! Well not for me anyway. There have been so many times I have tried to tell you this Miranda yet every time something has got in the way, well not this time I can't go on like this for much longer! It's been killing me not speaking to you the past few weeks so...here goes...I love you Miranda. More than anything in this world, I always have done and I always will."
Miranda was speechless, it's what she had wanted to hear for months...years even and he finally said it. Those 3 little words. She began to well up a little. "Oh Gary! I don't know what to say"
"You don't need to say anything, if you meant what you said earlier then we feel the same and that's that." She nodded in agreement, they were hand in hand now, staring into each other's eyes, tears still brimming in Miranda's, she had never felt so happy and content in all her life.
The next thing she knew their toungs were dancing, intertwined like ivy leaves. It was a very passionate kiss, unlike any she had shared with Mike or he had shared with Rose. They knew at that moment it was clear they were made for each other.
