When Freya met Aiden

21

Freya went in and was greeted by the girls saying "where have you been?" "Why, was I wanted for anything? I did have my phone you know" "no, we were just wondering" "well I went to Carlo's, a gorgeous Italian restaurant with Betty, the young lady that did room service last night, I met her when I was looking round the shops, and I wanted something to eat, so we went together and her mom came to, so I won't want anything to eat till after the show" "well I'd make sure you take snacks, I always get peckish backstage, mind you the guys pinch most of them, that's why we all take snacks for our other halves" said Jana "well you'll have to tell me what Aiden likes" "I thought you knew that already, the amount of time you two spend in bed" said Krysta "KRYSTA!!! don't be rude, but yes I know all that, we're very compatible, but I'm talking about snacks, I haven't got a clue, most of the time we don't eat for a while, then have a big meal, he also had a week of eating what I fed him, so he didn't get an option then" "what did you feed him on" asked Lianne "steamed fish, mashed potatoes, veggies, anything that could be mashed up so there wasn't any lumps, and ice cream, custard and stewed fruit, and he liked a bit of trifle, and milk, water and fruit juice to drink, and Spock gave me vitamins to give him, to keep him healthy, but he had to be fed like a baby and have a kiddie cup to drink out o......." And Freya started to cry again. "Don't cry mum, I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked, but he's fine now, so don't be sad" "I know but it's just thinking about Aiden like that, he was as helpless as a baby and I didn't know how long it would last, I was worried that if he was like that for a long time, his mom would come and take him away from me and I'd never see him again" and she really broke down then, everyone was was hugging her and saying 'well he's ok now' and things like that, then Georgie said "you don't really think I'd have let her do you? There's no way my sister would have got anywhere near him, he was best with you, the person who really and truly loves him" "but now he's not married, isn't she his next of kin? I mean I don't know the law over here, I mean I would have taken her to court, but I don't know what the outcome would have been" "wouldn't have happened, I'm his next of kin, not that old cow, he went to see his attorney and we had to sign some papers, so I'm his next of kin, and the wicked witch wouldn't have got her hands on him, never mind it'll be you soon enough when you're married" said Georgie "oh I'm so relieved, I mean hopefully it will never happen again, but now I know that you're Aiden's next of kin, it's a weight off my shoulders, I wouldn't want to fight over him, I'd kill her" Freya said.

"Right being as we've all eaten, shall we get ready to go to the theatre?" asked Soma. Everybody said 'yes' so it was up to their rooms to get changed "what do I wear? Georgie?" "anything you want, I think we're all going in jeans and T-shirts, or shirts , I know Aiden loves you in your skirt and blouse, so that would be nice, with your cowboy boots *but no gun*" she whispered in Freya's ear and laughed. "I'll feel naked without my gun in my boots, couldn't I just put my small one in" "if you want to, but don't go shooting anyone" "I wouldn't dream of it, unless I see your sister, then I might be tempted" and Freya laughed "so would I, but we'd better not" she giggled. They all met up in the lobby, everybody was in jeans, Freya looked round and said "should I go and change, everybody's in jeans and I'm in a skirt, I don't look frumpy do I? I don't want to let Aiden down" "Aiden will love you in that, you look gorgeous" said Karan. "Well you can ask him now, he's just walked into the hotel" said Pearl "what are you doing here? I thought everyone was meeting up at the theatre" "we are, but I wanted to see you before we get there, make sure you're ok and just well see you, I've missed you" and he took her in his arms and kissed her "you're looking very tasty, you haven't got a man hidden somewhere, have you?" "Yes, his name's Aiden Ross, you don't know him do you?" "isn't he that rather handsome guy, that does phenomenal beat boxing?" "Yes that's the one, he's my man crush and I love the bones of him, I'm hoping to see him perform tonight at the theatre, if he's there and not going to hotels and meeting up with women and kissing them" "I think he's escorting a rather beautiful lady to the theatre, to make sure she gets there and past the fans in one piece, do you think she's ready to go?" "Definitely, but she wants to go to the store first to pick up some snacks" "I think the other nine members of her party can pick up enough snacks for everyone" "Ok I'll just give Lianne some money to pick some up" "I'll get this" and he gave Lianne some money.
