Chapter Twenty Nine
"Don't ever leave me again, Doug. You have no idea how much I need you." I said as we pulled away from our long embrace.
"I won't. I promise, because I need you too, babe. I've realised that I need you so much more than anything else I've ever needed." He said with much sincerity in his tone of voice.
"But... What will the management say?" I was worried that Doug would lose his job over this.
"I've actually argued with them several times about this." He confessed.
"You have? But isn't it risking your job?"
"It's worth it for you." He smiled and leaned in to kiss me. Oh, how I've missed those as well! I was reminded of our first kiss.
Flashback
He leaned towards just as I was moving over to him. I smiled. Just like the other day, I felt his warm breath on my face. I rubbed noses with him for a while, teasing him. I felt him smile and at that point, I couldn't resist it any longer and I kissed him. The moment I did, something happened. Oh gosh. His lips… so soft… I… Wow… He kissed me back gently, as if afraid to hurt me. His hand reached up to my face and stroked it as he kissed me again. If it was possible, I would melt right there and then. Either that or start floating towards Heaven…
I wrapped both hands around his neck as I kissed him back. His hands found his way around my back. And there we were, sitting in the flour, kissing. Our first kiss since we met, over a year ago. Something about that made it so much more special.

"Did you get into trouble for it?" If it did, I know I'd feel horrible for being the cause of it.
"Nope… Even the guys helped! Our manager agreed in the end. I was going to look for you after the performance but when I saw you in the crowd, it felt so surreal." He looked down at our hands as he held both of mine in his. They were so much bigger as compared to my small ones. "So... Did you like the song?"
"I loved it. I loved it so much." I smiled happily. "Would you sing it to me over and over and over again?"
"Anytime, babe, anytime you want me to. I'll sing it till you get sick of it." He grinned cheekily and winked.
"I'll never. Never, never, ever… It's my new favourite song now and forever." I smiled and pulled him into a quick hug. "So does this mean we don't have to sneak around?"
"We don't. Just let the tabloids say what they want. It won't affect us anyway." He reassured me.
We then left the room that I was placed in after I fainted. Apparently, the room was the staff area. The huge crowd, or rather, the fans, that were outside the store had left and the rest of the boys were waiting in a cafe next door. I said hi and thanked them for waiting. No one knew why I fainted. I didn't know why I did either. Guess it will remain an unsolved mystery since no ambulance was called. I wonder… No. I don't think it is. Anyway, it had been a long time since all of us met and we caught up on the way back to their house. Alex and Danny seemed happy to have been able to meet up again. I was happy for them too but for now, I was just happy to have Dougie again. I had not seen him in ages and I really missed him.
