Chapter Thirty One
As Mandy, Jeff and Matt walked through the curtain into the backstage area they saw the stunned looks on their friends faces. Lily got up and walked over the Jeff to make sure he was ok. Mandy and Matt stood next to each other for a while before Mandy started to walk over to Adam. Adam noticed this and got up and met her half way. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment before Adam through his arms around her and said,
"Boy I've missed you. Do you fell like get out of here?"
"Yeah sure." Mandy said still hugging Adam but looking straight at Matt, "I'll just go and get changed. I won't be a minute"
"Ok. I'll wait here for you" Adam said before kissing her on the cheek. Mandy then started to walk off down the corridor to the locker room. When she heard a person calling out to her.
"Hey Mandy, wait I'll come with you." Matt called out. Mandy stopped and turned around to see him jogging down towards her. Once he caught up to her they continued to walk to the locker room, but without a word said between them. When they were finally inside the room, Matt turned to Mandy and said,
"I've got something I have to tell you."
"What is it? It sounds sort of serious."
"It is. I've been waiting to tell you this for ages. You see I really..." Matt started before Jeff walked in the locker room and said,
"Oh sorry... Did I interrupt something here?"
"Matt was about to tell me something...." Mandy said looking curiously at Matt.
"Oh really? ... Do you mind if I talk to Matt for a moment outside? Jeff asked
"No not at all. It'll give me time to change." Mandy said before Jeff took hold of his brothers hand and dragged him outside the room into the corridor.
"You weren't going to tell her what I think you were ... right? Jeff asked with a concerned look on his face.
"What are you talking about?" Matt asked pretending to look confused at what his little brother has just asked him.
"Don't play dumb with me Matt, I can see right through the lies. I also know that you were going to make the biggest mistake of your life by tell Mandy. Its just lucky I showed up when I did." Jeff said looking sternly but worried at the same time.
"I know ... but I really want her to know the way that I feel" Matt said looking at the floor
"But bro if you do that, you might loose her as a friend and I know you wouldn't like that" Jeff said
"I know ... I just wish..." Matt started
"Bro you really have to stop thinking about it. I think the whole kissing scene has really affected you... trust me, the best thing to do is not tell her and just be good friends."
"Your right Jeff. Thanks." Matt said before they both returned to the locker room to find Mandy dressed and ready to go.
"So Matt, what were you going to tell me before?" Mandy asked
"Oh nothing important. I just wanted to ... umm ... thank you for all of your support lately ... yes that's what it was"
"Hey that's cool. You know that I'm always here for you if you need to talk..." Mandy said
"Thanks I'll remember that" Matt said
"Excellent.... Anyway I better be off, see you both tomorrow at training." Mandy said before picking up her gear and heading towards the door.
"Bye. Have a great night" they both replied
"Bye" Mandy said before leaving the room and walking back up the corridor to Adam.
"So what are we going to do tonight?" Allie said looking at Shane with such love.
"I thought that you might like to go out to a romantic dinner with me." Shane said looking lovingly back at her.
"Sounds good to me but I will have to get changed into something more appropriate."
"You look fine to me but if you want I can drop you home so you can get changed and then come back for you when you're ready. What do you say?" Shane asked smiling at her
"Sounds good to me."
"Well we better go now then, if you're going to be ready in time." Shane joked before taking her hand to help her standing up.
"Thank you." Allie said looking at Shane before turning to Lily and Adam who were sitting together talking and said, "Hey guys were heading off, see you later."
"Bye guys." Adam and Lily both replied
"Check ya later." Shane said before he and Allie turned to leave. Just as they were Mandy arrived.
"Are you two off?" she asked
"Yeah we are." Allie said looking at Shane
"Ok see you guys later then," Mandy said
"Yeah I may see you before I go" Allie said before waving goodbye to everyone and walking off with Shane. Adam then got up and walked over to Mandy and through his arms around her again and whispered in her ear,
"What took you so long beautiful? I've really missed you"
"Oh Adam ... you're so sweet" Mandy laughed before the two engaged in a passionate kiss. At that moment Jeff and Matt arrived and said,
"Gees guys ... really..." This shocked and surprised them slightly as they didn't realise that people were watching them.
"Sorry guys I guess we got a bit carried away." Mandy said sheepishly
"A bit?" Jeff joked as he walked over to Lily who was still sitting quietly.
"Well I guess that happens when you are really in love with someone." Adam said before kissing Mandy again.
"Adam can we get out of here?" Mandy whispered into his ear while looking at Matt who was returning the look.
"Sure my place or yours?" he joked
"Umm... my place," she said
"Ok and I'll cook you dinner," Adam said securing his hand around Mandy's waist
"Sounds good to me." Mandy said looking into Adam's beautiful blue eyes.
"Guys Mandy and I are off. We'll see you later." Adam said looking at the others
"Bye" they all replied
"See you two at training tomorrow." Mandy said
"Yeah see you at about 2pm." Matt said smiling at Mandy
"Ok excellent bye" Mandy said before she and Adam walked off.
"Guys I think I might be off also ... it's been a really long day." Matt said
"Ok bro see you tomorrow." Jeff said
"See you later Matt."
"Bye" he replied before also walking off
"Oh well it's just the two of us now Jeffy" Lily said
"Shall we go home? Jeff asked
"Sounds good to me." Lily said before the two of them headed off down the corridor.
"Here you go Allie. Home Sweet Home." Shane said as Allie opened the front door
"Thanks for walking me to the front door Shane" Allie said lovingly
"That's ok I just wanted to make sure that you got in safety," Shane said
"Oh you are so sweet... that's why I love you so much" Allie said before kissing him on the check.
"I love you too Allie. With all my heart... but you know that." Shane said
"I sure do Shane" Allie said smiling seductively at him before pulling him in closely and kissing him.
"Sorry to interrupt guys... but do you think we could get inside?" Mandy asked looking rather cosy with Adam. Shane and Allie parted slightly and noticed the happy couple.
"Oh sorry..." Allie said apologetically before stepping out of the way to let them inside.
"I better be off... I mean otherwise you won't be ready in time." Shane said looking at Allie with a huge smile on his face.
"Ok see you later tonight," Allie said
"I'll be back in about 2 hours... that should give you enough time to change right?"
"Yeah I guess that should be sufficient" Allie joked. They kissed once more before Shane left.
"So where are you two going tonight?" Mandy asked poking her head around the doorway of the kitchen.
"Not too sure really. All I know is that Shane and I are going to have a romantic dinner." Allie said still smiling
"Oh sounds good. But what are you going to wear?" Mandy asked
"I really don't know. Do you think I could drag you away from Adam for a bit so you could help me decide and get ready?" Allie asked
"What do you say babe?" Mandy asked looking at Adam
"Yeah that's fine with me. It will give me the chance to decide what I'm going to cook tonight and make a start on it." Adam said
"Excellent. Thanks Adam" Allie said before taking hold of Mandy's hand and excitably rushing off to her room.
Once inside Allie's room Mandy sat on the bed while Allie went through her wardrobe to find different outfits to choose from. Once she had a couple she showed them to Mandy to get her advice. She ended up choosing a really lovely knee length black skirt, a gold top, black strappy high heels along with a little black bag. She was just putting her make up on when the doorbell rang.
"Do you want me to answer the door?" Adam yelled from the kitchen
"Yeah that would be really great if you could babe." Mandy replied. Allie finished getting ready before she and Mandy left her room and went out to the kitchen to where Adam and Shane were talking.
"Wow you look amazing" Shane said looking at Allie walking towards him.
"Thanks, you look pretty good yourself" Allie said looking Shane up and down.
"Thanks... you ready to go?"
"Sure am." Allie said smiling at Shane
"Excellent shall we go then?"
"Sounds good to me" Allie said before heading to the door with Shane.
"She you two later and have a great night." Allie said
"Thanks... I'm sure we will" Adam said with a smile on his face.
Once Shane and Allie had left Mandy walked into the kitchen and said,
"Mmm... something smells great in here."
"You're just in time really because it's done" Adam said giving the saucepan one last stir.
"Do you need any help?" Mandy asked
"No thanks I've got everything cover. How about you go and start to get comfy in the lounge room."
"Only if you're sure" Mandy said
"Yeah I am... I should be over in a minute or two" Adam smiled
Jeff and Lily arrived home with some take away and a video, which they picked up on the way home. They walked into the kitchen and served the dinner before taking it with them to their bedroom. Once inside their room, Jeff put the video on before climbing into bed next to Lily. They enjoyed their dinner before settling in to watch the video in each other's arms.
As Mandy, Jeff and Matt walked through the curtain into the backstage area they saw the stunned looks on their friends faces. Lily got up and walked over the Jeff to make sure he was ok. Mandy and Matt stood next to each other for a while before Mandy started to walk over to Adam. Adam noticed this and got up and met her half way.
