1999

Man City and Noel

Growing up in Manchester there was only ever two choices of which team you supported, Manchester City or Manchester United. Usually it was passed down through family and this was no different for you. Your whole family were Manchester City supporters and your father took you to games as a child. Going to games every weekend was the best times of your life. When your father passed, you kept going to matches in honor of him.

It was the first home game of 1999. You were sad cause it was nearing the anniversary of your fathers death. You walked down to Maine Road as normal by yourself. You weren't paying attention to your surroundings, with your head down snuggled into your scarf. Suddenly you bumped into someone.

You looked up and saw this man with long wavy brown hair and thick bushy eyebrows. You thought he was quite cute, but didn't say anything. You apologized to him and he accepted graciously. He looked at you and saw your saddened expression and asked if you were ok. You just nodded and then he asked if you were here alone. You told him yes and that you watched games alone. He wondered and asked why you came by yourself. You normally wouldn't spill your life story to some stranger, but he felt comforting to you. He stood thinking for a moment, then asked if you wanted to watch the match with him. You were shocked he was being so nice to you but gladly accepted his offer. He said his name was Noel and you told him yours and walked off with him into the stadium. You didn't know at that time, that he was a famous rock star.

After that day you attended every home match with Noel. You found out he was famous, when you saw a picture of you and Noel leaving after a match together in the paper. You didn't care though, because watching football with Noel made you so happy. You payed no attention to his famous lifestyle and Noel liked that about you. It was one of the few times that he felt like an ordinary person.

You had been together with Noel outside of football for a few months now. You weren't sure of your relationship with Noel. Of course you had been going out with him and doing normal partner things with him, but you were never sure if you were actually his girlfriend or just a football buddy he hung out with. You hoped that it would be something more as you started to fall in love with Noel.

Manchester City had been doing so well this season and were near the top of the table. As it was coming down to the end of the season, they finished in second and were forced to go to a playoff, to decide which team would be promoted to the first division. The game was being played at Wembley and you wanted to go so bad, but there was no way you could afford to get down to London.

One night when you were out with Noel he said he had a surprise for you. He told you that he had gotten box seats for you and everyone else to watch the final. You were so excited that you would be able to get to watch the match, especially with the man you loved. You hugged him and returned with a kiss on the cheek.

Finally it was the big day and Noel came by to pick you up at your flat. You were wearing a kit that Noel had given you a few months ago. It was oversized on you, but Noel thought you looked sexy wearing his kit. You got into the car and sat next to Noel. You were so happy and you laid your head onto his shoulder the whole trip down to London.

When you got to Wembley, Noel told you he had to do an interview for tv but he would meet you at the seats when he finished. You got to the box and looked out to the pitch and around the stadium, seeing all the people there. You sat down and took it all in. A tear came down your face wishing your father was here to share the excitement with you. Noel came up and saw your face. He didn't say anything, just wiped your tear and gave you a long hug and a small kiss. You thanked him and you sat down together for the game.

Unfortunately the teams were drawn at the end of regulation, so the winner would be decided through penalty kicks. You became even more nervous as you felt the tension in the atmosphere shift. The whole stadium went quiet as the first player walked up to the spot. You suddenly felt something touch your hand. You looked down and Noel was holding your hand. He was squeezing kind of hard, but you didn't mind the pressure. Every time a City player scored or a Gillingham player missed you and Noel cheered and gave each other a hug. It came down to one last kick, if the player missed Manchester City would win. The player stepped up and Noel squeezed your hand even harder. The goalie had saved it! You and Noel both started screaming very loudly. Noel hugged and picked you up and swung you around in his arms. Still in his arms, he gave you a small peck on the cheek. Noel set you down and you had a huge smile on your face. Noel looked right into your eyes and said I love you. He grabbed you again and gave you a long passionate kiss. You were so happy he finally said those words. You repeated them back to Noel and embraced in his arms once again. You and Noel stood, taking in this wonderful moment together.
