I flinched as the salt spray stung my legs. "Isn't
this a beautiful night" I said to . "Sure is"
she replied, as we walked along the beach. The moon
was high in the sky and it looked amazing, as its
reflection bounced off the water. We had just come
from an exclusive concert Westlife had held on the
beach. It was great. I still had the chorus to No No
in my head. We decided to lay in the sand. We lay
there for a while talking about how great the concert
was. There were quite a few people walking along the
beach. We could hear them all chatting together, and
giggling amongst themselves quietly. Then I heard this
loud voice saying, "Man was that a blast or what!" The
voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't work out whose
it was. They were now laughing out loudly. I could see
two of the five guys messing around. Chasing each
other along the beach. Then I heard someone walk up
behind me and say, "hey this is a great idea lads, why
don't we lie on the beach," said a voice "do you mind
if we join you ladies??" he said again in a sarcastic
voice. We both laughed. Sure why not. As they sat down
their faces became visible under the moonlight. I
gasped in amazement. "What?" he said. "Oh nothing" I
replied "Hey can I speak with you for a
moment?" I whispered. We both stood up and walked down
the beach a few metres. "Do you know who we are
laying on the beach with?" I whispered in an excited
voice. "Yeah I know," she said. "Isn't it great?"
"Yeah" I replied. We walked back along the beach to
where the lads were sitting. Mark looked at me as if
he was expecting me to say something. Then I realised.
"Oh my name is , and this is my friend
" I said. "Nice to meet the both of you" he
replied. "I am Shane, this is Nicky and Kian. Those
two messing around over there are Mark and Bryan. We
all sat there in silence for awhile. It was quite
uncomfortable. The Mark comes bounding over. "Did you
see those two girls over there before? Whoah" he said
"Talk about gorgeous!!!". Then he looked along the
beach. "Hey where did they go?" He asked. "What
girls?" I asked. He quickly turned his head, and
looked at me in astonishment. "O oh" I heard him say
under his breath. The he pointed at us and said "Those
two." Shane just laughed, and said "Marky mate you
gotta be a little more discreet when it comes to
girls. You're not meant to let 'em know you're
checking them out" I sat there with my head lowered, I
could feel myself blushing. I lifted my head and said
"Hi, my name is " he replied "Great to meet ya,
my name is Mark." "Yeah I know," I said. "Oh right" he
said. I could see his naturally rosy cheeks turning
chrimson under the moonlight. "Is anyone sitting
there" he asked as he was pointing to an empty patch
of sand next to me. "Nope" I replied. He sat down. "So
what's a pretty looking girl like you doing out on a
night like this?" "Oh, well we have just been to ya
concert" I said. "It was great" "Well I'm glad you
liked it" he said. "I saw you in the front row when I
was up on stage, you looked as if you were enjoying
yourself" "Yeah I was" I replied. Another moment of
silence passed. "You wanna go for a walk?" he asked in
a shy voice. "Yeah sure, why not" "Hey I'm
just going for a walk with Mark. I'll be back soon."
As we walked off I could hear them wolf whistling, I
turned around and they just waved. "Ignore them," said
Mark " I don't usually go off with girls, so it's a
big deal to them." I could feel myself blushing once
again. We chatted for awhile about anything and
everything. I felt so comfortable in his presence. I
began to shiver as the night air blew across my bare
shoulders. "Are you cold?" He asked. "Yeah just
a little" I replied. "Here's my jacket... maybe we should
be getting back..." he said as he wrapped his coat around
me. I looked up at him, and caught his eye. He was
looking down at me. For that single moment I was lost
in his gaze. Then I felt the moistness of his lips
touching mine as he kissed me slowly and gently. Then
I heard yelling, "hey guys look at this!"
Mark and I parted, and I saw the grim looks on all
their faces. "Ooh" I heard Bryan yelling. I saw Mark
going red, he looked so cute when he cheeks lit up
like that.
We all walked off together down the beach, until we
got to the ramp where and I had to exit. I
held tight onto Mark's hand not wanting to let it go.
But I knew I had to. We embraced once more for a last
kiss. I looked back and saw him, with a sad look in
his eyes. I ran back and hugged him. He slipped a
small note into my hand, then I left him, thinking I'd
never again see the guy I fell in love with at first
sight.
"Ahhhhh, wasn't that a great movie" I said. "You know
what, that was such a great idea , turning our
love story into a movie." You know I am glad I met you
that night, and I love you ever as much." Mark kissed
me on the cheek as he switched off the TV and snuggled
into bed.
