Chapter nine

Ste's point of view

Even though we had that break from each other and spent nearly a year apart, it didn't feel like it now we are back together again. I never want to be without him, I can't be without him it nearly killed me last time. I can't even remember what my life was like before him, more importantly I don't want to. I know that people won't understand but I don't care anymore, he is staying in my life…end of. We still had it together, all that chemistry, I'm so glad he came back here. I tried so hard to forget him and move on but nothing seemed to stop me from thinking of him and he crossed my mind every single day. When I first saw him with Ewan I thought that I would never have the chance to be with him again, I had no idea that he still loved me. I wish I had known because the last year without him has been really hard and all I had left of him was my memories. I hope that this time will be different as I can't lose him now; I have fallen madly in love with him all over again. We have both made mistakes, but im fed up with making them and it costing me him. People don't know him like I do, everyone judges him but they don't know how he makes me feel. I will love him always.

Brendan's point of view

Love…I remember once saying that I didn't even know what it meant, but I do know and holding Steven in my arms, inhaling his scent and getting completely lost in each other, I know that love for me is him. I really thought that Steven would have moved on with his life, and he has in some ways, im just glad that he hasn't moved on from me. It's like im less of a person without him and when he is by my side I feel stronger and taller, I feel like I could do anything. Looking at my boy in my arms gave me so much pleasure, I want to stay with him like this always and never let him go. I had to do something to prove to him that this was it, no messing around, that he is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love him with every part of my being and I am never leaving him, this time it's for keeps. Lying here on the deli floor (we had finally christened it at last) I felt so happy, a feeling that I've learnt I only get when im with or around Steven. He is my guilty pleasure, my one and only and there is nothing I won't do for him. From now on everything between us is going to be amazing; I will always make sure of that. My beautiful Steven.

Although it was tempting to stay wrapped around each other on the deli floor, Brendan had to get back to the club and Ste had to open the deli to the public again so they shared another kiss and said goodbye.

"Come to the club when you finish Steven, I have a little something for ye"

"Yeah course, try keeping me away"

Ste spent the rest of the day happy, knowing at last his soul mate was finally his, knowing that nothing would ever come between them again. Being together was all he ever wanted, all he had ever dreamed of; even when he was Doug those dreams never went away.

After Ste had finished locking up the deli he made his way over to the club, Brendan had only left him a few hours ago and already he was feeling excited about seeing him. The club wasn't quite open and Ste walked in to find Brendan sat at the bar.

"I haven't stopped thinking of you, me"

Brendan looked at his beautiful boy who was smiling at him goofily.

"Come here steven"

Ste walked up to him and Brendan pulled him close.

"I've missed ye"

Brendan could hardly keep his hands off him; he claimed his lips, kissing him sensually. He pulled away and looked intently into his eyes.

"I never want to lose ye ever, this is how I always want us to be, I will never hurt ye again…..i promise"

"You don't know how happy that makes me Bren. It has always been you, even when I have tried to fight it. I love you Brendan Brady"

"I love ye too Steven Hay"

Brendan reached it his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box.

"I wanted to give ye this, it can be whatever ye want it to be Steven"

Ste's heart was beating so fast, a gift from Brendan was a rare thing, he had no problem giving him money but an actual gift that he had chosen on his own, he had never known it. He nervously opened up the box to see a beautiful gold ring, his mouth fell open.

"Is this what I think it is?"

Brendan smiled at his excited response.

"Like I said Steven it's whatever ye want it to be"

Ste didn't need to think about it, he knew what exactly what he wanted it be.

"Yes Bren, I will marry you….i want to marry you"

Ste took the ring out of the box and went to put in on his finger.

"Ye didn't even notice that I had it engraved did ye?"

Ste was so excited; all he wanted to do was wear the ring.

"Sorry Brendan"

Ste looked closely at the ring and on the inside read…

"My one"

Something so simple but yet it meant so much. Ste threw his arms around Brendan, holding on to him so tight.

"I've never felt so happy Bren"

"We've got an hour before the club opens, shall we go into the office? Then ye can show me how happy ye are"

Ste found Brendan's lips and kissed him, pushing him back in to the office, not once breaking their kiss, knowing that they were both going to make the most of the time they had before the club opens.

Now they had another chance of being together and this time they weren't going to mess it up, the need for each other was too strong and although they were two people, together they made one.
