The Girl In The Dirty Shirt

Chapter 66

I sat by myself for a few hours and drank a few cups of coffee. I looked up at the clock on the wall and it was already after seven, they would be on stage.

I left my tip and went to the venue, it was absolutely packed outside. I walked around to the stage door and banged on it. Security let me in only after I put up a fight about being Liam Gallagher's wife. Only after Maggie walked by and said she knew who I was.

I made my way out to the floor just as they started into Cigarettes and Alcohol; it had been released on my birthday last week.

I could see Sally and her friends in the crowd a few hundred feet from where I stood, but she was too busy to notice me.

I watched Liam up on stage with his hands behind his back, the microphone just under his nose.
He looked so fucking happy, they all did, even Noel.
My mom's words rang in my ears from earlier; what would I do when he was away on tour?

I wouldn't ask him to quit, I couldn't; I'd manage on my own. I'd have Peggy for help if I really needed it.

They finished Cigarettes and Alcohol and went right into Slide Away.
Half way through the first verse Liam caught my eye and didn't look away. They finished the song and I made my way backstage in time to hear Liam announce that the show had to be put on hold.

I frowned as I stood just off stage and the rest of the band looked just as confused.
Noel yelled something at him from the other side of the stage. I looked at Maggie, who was standing a few feet away.

I turned around and jumped when I saw Liam standing in front of me. "What the hell are you doing?"

"C'mere"

Before I could protest he grabbed my wrist and was pulling me towards the stage.

"Oh my god, Liam no"

I fought to keep myself backstage, but it was useless; Liam had pulled me against him, making it impossible to get away.
If Noel wasn't already furious, he was about to be.

He pulled me out on stage and my mouth dropped when he stopped at the front of the stage where he'd been standing a minute ago.
There were easily five hundred people screaming at all of them and not one of them seemed fazed by it. I was scared shitless.

Noel was immediately standing on my other side yelling at Liam.

"The fuck are you doing?"

"Wanted t'say hi to my wife" he answered looking out at the mass of people, who immediately erupted in cheers the minute Liam spoke, they hung on his every word.

"They wanted t'say hi too" he nodded looking out at the audience "Right?"

More cheers

"On the count of three everyone say hi to Lyla"

I glared up at him "Liam, stop it"

He ignored me and counted, he hit three and five hundred plus people screamed "Hi Lyla" at the top of their lungs.

I covered my face after looking at Noel, who was absolutely livid. Liam grinned, obviously very pleased with himself. As if that wasn't enough, he kept it going, announcing to the entire venue that I was from here and that my mom made delicious lasagne.
Just to push Noel to his absolute limit, before sending me back off stage, Liam made a huge show of dipping me, practically to the floor of the stage and shoving his tongue in my mouth.

As I walked off he included that the jacket I'd had on was in fact his, like they really cared.

They came off stage forty five minutes later and all of them were dripping with sweat.
We all clustered in the dressing room to figure out what to do next. Sally and a couple of her friends came backstage; Sally made a beeline for Guigs, her friends were starstruck.
