Peace Love And All That Groovy Stuff----And Release

Gemma’s Point Of View

I laughed slightly at Ariel’s accent but knew that KC would only talk to us like that if it was serious. I guess he’d seen the paper and my suspicions were confirmed when I stepped out of the room and he was holding the paper in front of us.

“Now I want an explanation.” He said trying to keep himself calm.
“Well that’s a newspaper, in England we read them while being sat in a com ...

KC cut me off

“I know that, explain this picture of you kissing Mike!” He had snapped
“Why you can see it.”
“Everyone In The Whole Country Can See It Its On The Front Cover Of Every Major Paper And Magazine! Do You Have Any Pride!”

I looked at him; he was talking to me like I was his kid.

“Who I Snog Or Don’t Snog Doesn’t Really Have Anything To Do With You!”
“It Should Do!”
“Why Your Nothing To Me But My Manger!”

A hurt look crossed his face for a second, KC had been like a dad to me since I moved out of my parents and even I knew that was uncalled for. My face dropped.

“KC I am so sorry.”

He looked away from me.

“Look its just we hit it off really well and we kind of got together.”

He took this as a reason for Ariel and me.

“Look I know that in the start of a relationship things get very exciting and …
“Eww KC shut up!” Ariel screamed as he started ‘the talk’. “We’re old enough we know this.”

He laughed and decided to drop it and walked off.

“Guys I’ll be right back.” I ran after KC
“KC! Look I’m sorry about before what I said I didn’t mean it, you know that right, your like a dad to me.”

He looked at me and smiled.

“Don’t worry kid I know.”

I nodded and ran off back to everyone. They were sat back in the studio Ariel had already started to record them. They were singing that girl I knew somewhere. I sat down next to Air and just listened, they still sounded so good. They went through quite a few of their old songs as well as some new ones they’d written. They had about ten minuets left in the studio and were doing one more song. Mike stepped up to the main microphone.

“A song for my time travelling girl.” And the beginning of Listen to the Band started. I held in a squeal. I couldn’t help it I got up and started to dance it, even though people think you cant dance to the song. I had grabbed the engineer that was in there, Lizzy and had her dancing with me. She was the same age as the guys maybe a bit younger and was around when they came out and was just as excited about this as Air and me.
When the guys had finished and the light had gone off I ran through the door and jumped on Mike. I was surprised, as always he didn’t fall to the floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. I pulled my head away and smiled at him.

“That’s my favourite song.” I whispered to him
“I know” he said smiling and kissed me again.

We had been back at my place for a few hours and weren’t really doing anything except watching afternoon omnibuses of Coronation Street and everyone was board. Ariel wanted to go out and so did Davy and Micky, I was content enough sitting there on the couch with the book I was reading, still the same bookworm. They decided they were going out and said goodbye to me I waved them off never looking away from my book, when I felt the couch sink next to me. I looked up and Peter was sat there.

“Didn’t you want to go out?”
“I wanted to ask you something.”

I nodded and put my book down

“Ok so what do you want?”
“You know that Lizzy from the studio? Is she single?”

I bit my lip, he fancied Lizzy that was so cute.

“Yeah she is actually, do you want her number.” He nodded childlike, like back when we first met. I wrote it down and he disappeared from the room.
