Love At First Sight.
Two Months Later
Linda received many e-mails from Kian and replied to all of them. Jen however, never received a letter from Shane. “It was too good to be true anyway you know.” Linda said when she and Jen were out on Orchard Rd one afternoon. “I have gotten so many letters from Kian. Do you want me to ask him about Shane? I could if you wanted me too.” Jen said. “No, that’s okay. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Do you know when they are coming back?” Linda asked. “I haven’t got a clue. I keep asking Kian, but he says they don’t have any plans yet.” Jen giggled. “What’s so funny?” Linda asked. “No one except for the rest of Westlife know that we are together. Kian says that the one thing that Ronan had said to him before they met us was not to get “involved.” If only he knew.” Jen laughed. “So how much longer until your apartment is done?” “Oh, it should be about one more week. I’m really excited. When it’s done being renovated, there will be so much more room and the place is going to suit my personality so much more.” “What, is that what your horoscope in some magazine says?” Jen laughed. “Yeah, it’s in this one. I wonder what it says this week?” Linda picked up the same magazine for the next week. “Uh, oh. This can’t be good. It says I will have heartbreak, but a new love interest will help me through it and we will have a future together. Well, the only love interest I have right now is remotely Shane. Great, he’ll break my heart, as if he hasn’t already, but some knight in shinning armor will come and we will get together. Sounds like a great week to me.” “Oh, come on. These things are never true. How is your hotel room?” Jen tried to get Linda mind off the topic of Westlife. “It’s really nice. The Four Seasons has great service and the rooms are big and comfy. Why don’t you come over now? We have so many bags and your house is so far away. The hotel is just around the corner.” Linda suggested. “Sounds like a great idea, besides getting a cab will be easier if we are hotel guests.” Jen smiled and the two lugged their shopping bags around the corner and upstairs to Linda’s top floor suite. She was in room 2003, on the 20th floor. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. I got this really strange e-mail from someone I don’t know. It was really a sweet e-mail, but I don’t know the person that sent it to me and they won’t write back when I ask who it is.” Linda burst out when they had set their stuff down, gotten sodas, and sat down. “Like a secret admirer letter? What did it say?” Jen asked. “Kinda, but it was really strange. I memorized it cuz I was really short too. It said, “Do you believe in love at first sight, because the moment I saw you I fell in love.” “That is so cute. But very mysterious. Maybe it’s you knight in shining armor you were talking about.” “I doubt it.” Linda laughed. They sat around and talked for about an hour and decided to go out partying the next night at the nightclub Zouk. “Right, so just call me when you’re ready tomorrow.” Jen called through the closing elevator doors. She had left her stuff at Linda’s so they could get ready to go out together. Jen waited as she went down the 20 floors. When the doors opened on the bottom floor, the sound was deafening. There were security guards everywhere and about 300 people waiting outside screaming. Jen saw someone standing slightly to the side and asked him. “Excuse me sir, could you tell me what’s going on here?” “Well, Westlife got off their plane at Chanji about half an hour ago and they are due to arrive here any minute.” The man answered. “Are you sure it’s Westlife? I’m Kian’s girlfriend and he told me nothing about him coming.” Jen asked shocked. “Well, I’m the one in charge of everything that they do while in Asia and I’m sure they are coming. As for you being Kian’s girlfriend, he never mentions you, so I’m going to have to ask you to step outside along with everyone else.” The security guard was a big burly man and was about to usher her outside when the screaming got much louder and a black van pulled up outside. The guard went running off and left Jen standing there with the astounded look on her face. Jen ran off following the guard and was ignored by all onlookers who thought she was part of Westlife’s posse. The back door opened and out stepped all five boys. “Kian!” Jen screamed, but she wasn’t heard because of all the other people doing the exact same thing. It made no difference because the five of them were headed right towards her. “Jen? Is that you? What are you doing here?” Kian pushed the others out of the way and ran over to where she was standing. He gave her a big bear hug and a quick peck on the cheek. “No, the question is what are you doing here. You didn’t tell me you were coming.” Jen laughed “I wanted it to be a surprise because I only found out a few days ago too.” Kian laughed and hugged her tighter. “I just left a message on your answering machine. Now you tell me. What are you doing here?” “Well, Linda is having her apartment renovated and she is staying here until it’s finished. We were shopping and came back here because it was closer than my house.” Jen smiled. ‘Linda!’ (Mark’s thought) Mark had though about her often since they left after meeting with the girls’ two months ago. After the party had finished Kian had pulled him aside. Kian had gotten Linda’s e-mail address from the trashcan where Shane threw it and gave it to him. Mark had treasured the fact that he had it, but did nothing because he knew that Jen was in love with Shane and not him. Only a week ago he had gotten the courage to write her, however he had written a strange letter. He asked her if she believed in love at first sight, because he loved her since the moment he saw her. The day after, his computer broke and he hadn’t been able to reach a computer since. He also had no idea that they were going to come to Singapore when he wrote the letter. He was not sure what he was going to do while there. He wasn’t sure if he could hold back his emotions for her, especially if he was going to be near her because of Kian and Linda. “Linda who?” Shane asked. He was alone because everyone else recognized the name and nodded when Jen said it. “The Linda we met last time we were here. At the party, remember?” Nicky stepped in before anyone could say anything. Well, mostly so Mark wouldn’t bring up old arguments. “Oh, that Linda. I remember now.” Shane said. He remembered she was obsessed with him and he didn’t care. “Where is Linda staying at? I mean what floor? We are on the 20th, room 2005 and 2006, I think.” Bryan asked. “We could all probably go out and do something together tonight.” “We can’t do it tonight, remember, we have the dinner with the fans thing.” Nicky reminded him. “Well, how about tomorrow? Linda and I already had plans to go out to Zouk. You could just join us.” Jen suggested. “That sounds like a great idea.” Kian said. “I have to go now, but I’ll see you later alright?” Jen asked. “Alright sweetie. I’ll call you tomorrow.” Kian gave her another hug, and was pushed into the elevator by the same man that Jen had talked to earlier. Jen got in a cab and went home. The next day, she tried to call Linda, but was unable to reach her. They ended up playing phone tag because Linda called about half an hour later to say that she wouldn’t be able to get ready with Jen because she had to go over plans with the interior decorator. She would be at Zouk at about eight, and would see Jen there. Kian and Linda talked on the phone and decided to meet outside Zouk at eight too. Jen arrived and got in line. Linda arrived and when she saw Jen in line, she walked over to her. “I don’t think you need to stand in line.” “Why not?” Linda asked. “Well, I have some friends coming, and they are going to get us in so we don’t have to wait in line.” Jen said. “What kind of friends have that kind of power?” Linda asked. “Come on, lets go wait in front.” Jen said. She tugged Linda out of line and they stood waiting at the front of the line, much to the displeasure of the people waiting at the front of the line. “You can stand there and look pretty all you want, but it won’t get you in.” The guard at the door jeered at the two. Jen walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. “Oh, sorry ma’am, I didn’t know.” The security guard said. “It’s alright.” Jen smiled. “You must have some good new friends.” Linda said. “Who are they?” “They aren’t new friends, hey, here they come.” The same black van that Jen had seen yesterday pulled up, and out came Westlife. “Those are the friends.” “They’re here?” Linda asked shocked. She would have said more, but Kian popped his head out, and jen went running towards him. He gave her a big hug. The seven of them were ushered into the club. Everyone either got a drink or went off to the dance floor to find someone to dance with. They ended up getting split up, except for Kian and Jen. They had held each other’s hand and not let go when all the other’s went off to enjoy the enormous club. They found a table and began to talk about the past two months. Linda was dancing with a few guys, but her mind was somewhere else, so she went off to find Shane. When she turned around, she saw him and another girl making out in the hallway going to the bathroom. Her eyes brimmed with tears and she ran out of the club, got in a cab and headed to her hotel. She didn’t know, but Mark had been watching her, and when he saw her leave, he ran after her.
He got outside and saw her getting into a cab. After running over to the street, he flagged a cab. “Follow that cab in front of us.”
The driver was an old wrinkled Chinese man, and he clearly could not understand English. He began speaking quickly in Chinese and Mark got out of the cab and looked around. There was another one right behind it, so he ran over to it and got in. “Please follow that cab in front of us. Do you see the one with the camera on top?”
“Okay man, calm down. Do you know where we’re going?” the taxi driver had a thick Indian accent.
“My only guess is the Four Seasons, but please hurry. I need to get to the person inside.” Mark sat on the edge of his seat as the bad sped off in the direction of Linda’s cab. Luckily, Linda’s cab had not gotten very far because there was a ton of traffic in front of the club. Kian took Jen’s hand in his. They were drinking Guinness and talking about what each had been doing since they last saw each other. “Jen, I would be honored if you would dance with me.” Kian asked and smiled. “Then I will have to do you that horror, I mean honor.” Jen took the hand he offered and he led her to the dance floor. As they got there, the fast song that had been playing before ended. “This song goes out to all the couples in the house.” The DJ said. The song, “Hero” by Enrique Iglesias began blasting out of the speakers all around the club. Jen and Kian linked their bodies together and danced. As the song played, they got closer and closer as their fears of their forbidden relationship disappeared. Jen placed her head on his shoulder. They danced like this until the song ended. Kian looked down and Jen looked up at the exact same time and they looked into each other’s eyes. Their lips met as they shared their first real kiss. Even as the next song started and people all around them began to dance with jerky movements, they continued to kiss. They were in a world of their own. Mark was right, when he turned the corner, he saw Linda’s cab leaving the drop off at the Four Seasons. “Thank you.” Mark handed the fare into the hand off the driver and jumped out of the car. He rushed into the lobby and saw Linda getting into an elevator. He ran over to the elevator, but missed it. Mark jabbed his hand into the up button. For what seemed like hours, Mark waited until the familiar sound of the elevator ding made him spin around. He jumped in and pressed 20. The elevator took forever, as it seemed, to get all the way up, but finally he got to the 20th floor. Mark stepped out of the elevator, and looked around. The sign in front of him said his room was off to the right, however Linda’s was to the left. He walked down the hall and heard the sound of crying. Linda was sitting outside the door to her room, leaning against the wall, crouched over with her hands covering her eyes, crying. “Linda” Mark asked. Linda looked up and she wiped her eyes. “Mark, what are you doing here? I thought you were at the club with everyone else.” Linda said.
“I was, but I saw you leave, and I wasn’t having a good time, so I though I would follow you, so maybe we could talk, but then you left, so I followed you to make sure that you were alright.” Mark said and smiled and sat down next to her. “Are you okay?” “I’m sure you saw what Shane was doing when I saw him, didn’t you? He was making out with some girl. I used to love him so much, and I know he never liked me, but he didn’t have to rub it in my face. I could tell that he didn’t like me last time when you were here so why did he even ask for my e-mail address? If he wasn’t going to write me, then why did he even ask? Does he even care that he broke my heart?” Linda broke down and cried more. Mark could see that she was distressed and hugged her as she cried. Sometime later Linda turned to Mark and said, “You didn’t really just leave the club because you saw me leave did you?”
Mark got up and helped Linda to her feet. Linda wiped her face again as she got up. “Actually, I wanted to talk to you. Well…there was something I wanted to ask you.” Mark took Linda into his arms. “I wanted to know if you believed in love at first sight, because I’ve loved you since the moment I saw you.”
Linda looked up into his eyes. He was repeating the letter that she received a few days ago. Then her mind went into shock. He had sent the letter. He was in love with her. And as she looked into his eyes, for the first time, she fell in love with him. “I believe in love at first sight.” Linda whispered. “And I believe in you.” Linda and Mark began kissing and fell against the wall in front of Linda’s door.

Poetry By Linda Sue Panozzo
You lift your voice, and l lift mine, Two bright ribbons intertwine. l hear the pulse, l feel the beat, We sing as one, we are complete. Duets are not for one, but two, And no one else for me but you.
