The Girl In The Dirty Shirt Noel Version

Chapter 106

Two months later Liam and I had been divorced for almost three weeks, I moved out of Sara's and into Mike's since her and her boyfriend wanted to live together; and it's not like I'd been staying at Sara's anyway, I was paying for an empty room. I was known as "Liam Gallagher's ex" in all the tabloids and they reported that I was livid about his new girlfriend, who I had never met; apparently her name was Nicole and she was Canadian too.

Things with Mike were....liveable. I hadn't talked to my mom or sister since Christmas and I wasn't going to take Mike home to meet them...ever.

We even had a date tonight, at Piccadilly's; that bar was about as white trash as you could get, but I went, it was a place to drink.

We walked in and my heart dropped; I grabbed Mike's arm forcing him to stop. "Can we go somewhere else?"

Mike frowned "Why?"

Because my ex-husband's brother is sitting at the bar, which means the rest of them are around somewhere.

"Because I want to go somewhere else"

He shook his head "The guys are here, so this is where we're going to stay"

He walked ahead of me to the bar; and sat right between Noel and some other guy.

Perfect.

Mike turned around when he realized I hadn't followed and yelled across the bar at me.

"Babe!"

I saw Noel glare at him, but he didn't seem fazed. I glanced around the bar and didn't see anyone else I'd recognized.

I walked up on the other side of Mike and he turned to look at me.

"You know how much I hate that"

"Sorry, Lyla" he rolled his eyes "Get me a beer, would ya?"

I rolled my eyes biting the inside of my cheek as Noel glanced in our direction, but that was all he did.

I walked past him to the other end of the bar to get Mike his beer.

I turned around and jumped when I realized Noel was right behind me.

Fuck.

"I thought that was you"

I hadn't seen Noel since last October, almost eight months ago. I didn't know what to say.

"How y'been Ly?"

I nodded before I was able to find my voice again. "Good, good"

He smiled with a nod, but I could tell he knew I was full of it; I couldn't help but notice that he'd gotten his teeth fixed since I saw him last.

"Y'look...different" he observed

"Thanks" I smiled; I knew he was just being polite, even I knew I looked like hell. "Where's Meg?"

"She's at home."

"Ooh, trouble in paradise?" I mocked.

"We're...not talking right now."

I did my best to keep from smiling. "I'm sorry"

"No you're not" he shook his head

I shrugged with a smile "I'm sorry you're not happy"

"Are you?"

I nodded "Are you still touring?"

He nodded "We leave for Vancouver on the ninth"

"We should-"

"Babe!"

I sighed looking over Noel's shoulder as Mike walked over to where we were standing.
