When Freya met Aiden

9

"Well, hello yourself, I was wondering when I was going to meet Freya, but I didn't expect it to be work related" "I didn't realize you were related to Aiden, I should have known, with your surname being Ross, will you be compromised because of it" "no Charles it's fine, I've come first to get Lady Freya's side of the story" "just call me Freya, please. I only use my title when it helps to oil the wheels, restaurant bookings, tickets for shows, that type of thing, otherwise I'm just plain Freya" "aren't you going to say hi, you old bugger" said Georgie "my god, I didn't recognize you Georgie, you're looking rather tasty tonight" "huh that's where Aiden gets it from, saying we looked beautiful when we were coming out, as if we don't always look tasty, as you put it" "right we'll have a chat later, let's get this misunderstanding out of the way first, ok Freya what happened" "can I say something first" said Matt, "is it relevant to the case" "yes, I have a recording of the whole thing, would you like to see it first?" "Yes that would help" so George watched it and he started chuckling to himself, after it had finished, he just said "case closed, by the look of it she tangled with the wrong women, fair do's Freya you've got a good right hook, I don't think I'd like a punch off you" "you wouldn't, she hits harder than a man, she only slapped me playfully the other day and I've still got the bruises to show for it" "you haven't have you? I've not noticed them, oh god if the fans see you with bruises they'll think I hit you" "well you did, but we were messing around and I hit you back, don't look so horrified everybody, I only slapped her ass, but I left an impression on it." 

"Oh yes, I noticed that when we were getting charged, a big hand print on Freya's bum" said Karan, everybody was laughing, and Freya was sitting there mortified "cheer up, or I'll give you a matching one on the other cheek" " right now everything is out of the way, any chance of a drink and a sandwich for your favourite uncle, Aiden" "of course, you can have something other than a sandwich if you like, and what about you Charles, would you like something?" "I could murder a steak, what about you George? I know you like a nice steak and they're absolutely beautiful here" "well been as you've twisted my arm, I'll have steak as well" Freya called the waiter over and the men gave their orders "does anybody want anything else to eat" "well now you mention it, I am a bit peckish," said Aiden. Freya looked round the table and everybody nodded their heads, I told the waiter to put Charles and George's order in and then to come back for another order, please. Off he went and everyone sat reading the menu again. "Oh, they do burgers, I never noticed them before" "that's because I didn't give you that menu before, I forgot about it, why do you want burgers?" "Do I love you more than life itself?" "Yes, well you keep telling me that anyway" "well that answers the question, burgers for me" the others wanted the same thing, burgers, even Georgie and Karan. The waiter came back, everyone gave him their orders and they sat and chatting whilst waiting for their food. "Honestly, I get you the best food in the place, and you want burgers and fries" "well being honest the food was delicious, but there wasn't enough to feed a sparrow, was there? God, I think everyone of us could have put it all on to one plate, to get a proper portion" said Aiden "definitely, the plates were huge, and the food looked a child's portion in the middle, very nice but not enough of it," said Regan. The other three agreed. "Won't be a minute everybody, Aiden come with me please" Matt shouts after us "you're not going for a quickie now, are you? The food won't be long" as Freya walked past a table there was a bread roll on a plate, "excuse me are you going to eat that, I want to shut somebody up" "take it , are you going to shut Matt up" "yes, shouting things like that, honestly" Freya picked up the roll, walked up to Matt and put it in his mouth, he sat there stunned "now be a good boy and shut up" he pulled it out and then bit it "this will keep me going till the burgers arrive" grrrr Matt is a pain in the ass.

"Where are we going?" Said Aiden "the kitchens" and in Freya went, the waiter came rushing up to her, "is there anything wrong lady Freya?" "No everything is fine, I just need a quick word with the chef, if that is permissible?" "Of course, your Ladyship, let me introduce you, chef this is Lady Freya" he muttered something in French and Freya said, "I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, I just want to ask you a question" in French, he looked at Aiden and said in English "how are you doing mate?" and he took Aiden's hand and shook it, Aiden looked puzzled and then laughed and said "no it can't be, it is though it's chuck, bloody hell, you've lost some beef, mate" "I know, best thing I did, got myself a nice little wife, and I've got three children, two boys and a little girl, and I'm a high-class chef" "what happened with the football? You had try-outs with the Minnesota Vikings, didn't you?" "It actually went well, they signed me up and then before my first game, some bastard ran me over when I was out jogging, so that was it, on the scrap heap before I'd kicked a ball in anger, but it turned out ok, I'd always liked cooking, so I went to a catering school, learnt about food nutrition, lost a load of weight and became a top class chef, no need to ask what you do now, the wife and daughter love you guys, sorry mate, but my daughter thinks Matt really cute, and my wife likes Charlie, but she liked me when I was chubby as well, I have told them I was in school with you, but they don't care. Well, what can I do for you, sorry for calling you a pain in the arse, but some people are, anyway, aren't you going to introduce me?" "Sorry. Chuck this is Lady Freya, Freya this is Chuck an old friend from school, Freya also happens to be my fiancée" "you are going up in the world, engaged to a Lady, better than that thing you were married to before, God she was horrible" Freya started to laugh, Aiden shot her an evil look, which just made her giggle even more, "what's so funny Freya?" "I saw her for the first time before coming here, and to cut a long story short I punched her and broke her nose, she started it by slapping Aiden's aunt Georgie, it finished with me breaking her nose, poetic justice" "I'd love to have seen that" "yes well to why we came to the kitchen, we've had a meal, which was absolutely gorgeous, it was truly delicious, but Aiden and the guys, well to be truthful all of us, loved the food, but there wasn't enough of it, so we've just put an order in for burgers and fries, so I came in to say, can we have large portions please, oh and large portions for the two steaks as well, we're still starving" "I'll see you before we leave and exchange numbers and see about front row seats and back stage passes for you and your family for the Christmas show here in Mankato, ok?" "Thanks mate, the wife will be chuffed, I'll see to your portions myself, see you later."
