Secret Admirer
Mark Owen has a secret admirer. His secret admirer sends a flower to him every day. They’re always sent to his house; tulips and daisies on alternate days. The notes always say ‘Bright flowers for the one who brightens my day’. It’s the cheesy romance of the note that makes Mark grin. Only Sunday is different. Sunday is for roses. With a note saying ‘With love’. That always makes Mark wish he knew who to thank; it’s sweet and it’s simple and it’s perfect. Howard says it’s all a bit stalkerish. Jason says he couldn’t be doing with all that interruption to his peace and quiet. And Gary just looks at him and asks him if he’s falling in love with someone he doesn’t even know. Mark’s slightly concerned the answer might be yes. Once or twice his secret admirer has written him songs. Those are the times he’s come closest to falling in love. Mark thinks you can tell a lot from a person from the way they understand music and he studies the scores and the lyrics that he’s sent and he thinks that maybe, just maybe, there is no one else on earth who can touch his heart so easily. He risks telling this to the lads. Howard thinks he’s mad. Jason agrees that they’re beautiful songs and then asks Gary what his opinion might be. Gary smiles and shrugs and Jason rolls his eyes. It’s not until his birthday that Mark finds the reason why. He’s expecting a delivery of something. No self-respecting secret admirer forgot a birthday. But nothing came all day and he was starting to lose hope. Then the doorbell finally rang. There, on Mark Owen’s front steps, stood Gary Barlow, a crooked bow on top of his head and a lopsided grin on his lips. ‘Special delivery’ he said softly and, in reply, Mark threw his arms around him, kissing him out of breath and knocking the precarious bow from his head.
