Chapter 11

Vickie woke up still feeling very tired but she wasn't really thinking of anything else except about what Shane & Nicole just might have gotten up to. She turned over to Mark, seeing him asleep, and a fairly little smile crossed onto her face. After one pretty bad heartache and disappointment it really was amazing to think that she would ever have the confidence to take a second chance, especially with some one like Mark.
"Ok then. Better go and check on Nic now," she said getting out of bed to grab her dressing gown. Vickie headed out of the bedroom and went a little down the hall to Nicole's room but discovered the door still wide open.
"I see!" she mused aloud with a bright grin. She decided against disturbing the others at this stage and probably to keep quiet about it as well; so she then returned to the room and Mark. In the mean time over in Shane's room Nicole had woken first. She stared at the ceiling as she digested the events from last night. It was hard to really recall everything since it felt like it had all gone so fat when in actual fact it was all fairly slow. * Oh my god, just what am I going to tell the others? * She thought, knowing full well what her four band mates will be thinking at this time. She glanced sideways back over her shoulder at the gorgeous young man still fast asleep soundlessly. Just looking at him lying there brought a smile to her face.
"Oh this...I just can't believe it," she said.
"Hmmm?" mumbled Shane sleepily as he was coming to.
"What? Oh, no...no I didn't say anything," Nicole replied shaking her head.
"Are you sure about that? I'm pretty certain I heard something." He said breaking into a big grin.
"Nope definitely not." She answered.
"I think we should just keep this to ourselves," he remarked.
"I don't know about that Shane. There are some things that are hard to keep a secret. As well as the fact Vickie and Mark would've figured it all out," Nicole answered pointedly.
"Hmm. You do have a point." Shane answered.
"Of course I do. Incase you aren't at all certain I'm one of the best at stating the obvious," she replied grinning helplessly. Shane laughed leaning over to kiss her.
"I doubt it one bit. Now come on lets get up." He added throwing the duvet covered away and swung his legs off the bed, but right at that moment...
Knock! Knock!
"Shane open up!" shouted Kian. He had Mark and Vickie with him standing out there. Shane & Nicole swapped concerned looks.
"Just a minute!" he returned as they scrambled to put their clothes back on. Too late as the bedroom door thrust wide open and the three walked through.
"HEY!" Shane and Nicole yelled in unison. Nicole had quickly nabbed a nearby towel to cover up her top half and Shane had done the same with his bottom half.
"O...okay. I see what's going on." Kian remarked. Mark didn't have to say anything; wordlessly he and Kian turned away to leave the room but not without identical smiles on their faces.
"Shane, I'd like to speak with you outside now," Vickie replied sternly. She picked up his shirt and tossed it to him and stalked out, he quickly followed, Nicole wanted to stop and demand from Vickie what she was going to do but didn't have the energy for it.
"Just don't hurt her all right?" Vickie asked.
"Of course I wouldn't do such a thing," Shane said. Vickie nodded her head now letting the smile come across.
"Good. Nicole is one of my best friends, and I, for one don't want to see her miserable," she remarked.
"I promise it won't ever happen," Shane agreed so Vickie felt better about it and headed away to her own room. Shane stared after her for a moment then dismissed any further thoughts walking into his room and Nicole. She looked around from the mirror she was facing to see him.
"So, is everything all right?" she asked.
"It's fine believe me." He answered moving up directly behind her ad placing his arms around her waist.
"I hope it'll be like this all the time," she whispered into his ear, Shane smiled cheekily.
"Me too," he kissed her.
