When Freya met Aiden

29

They sat down and Shelly gave them five minutes to look at the menu and she came back, she leaned in really close to Aiden's ear "don't say anything, but are you Aiden Ross from Home Front? if it's 'yes' but you don't want to be recognized just say no, and I'll tell the ladies over there they got it wrong" Freya looked over and there was three very excited looking ladies In the corner booth "oh Aiden they look so excited because they think it's you, are you going to meet them or tell them you're not that Aiden?" He looked over, looked at Freya and waved at them. So over they came. "We're sorry for disturbing you Aiden, but we couldn't believe our eyes when you came in with Joe, well I mean his wife and daughters came with us to see you last night and you walk into here with Joe tonight, what's the odds on that?" "you know these lovely people Kim?" "Well we know who Aiden is, he's the beat boxer in Home Front, the group we all went to see last night Joe, Aiden is Miriam's favorite member of the group" "I'll have to watch you young man, if my Miriam's got the hots for you, she can be quite the charmer when she wants to be" and he laughed his head off. "Well if she's that charming, you'll have to watch her like a hawk, Aiden steals ladies hearts Joe, he's stolen mine" "of course you're Freya, Aiden's fiancee aren't you?" said June another of the ladies "she is, she's the love of my life ladies, aren't you darling" "so you keep telling me, so I suppose it must be true" and Freya kissed his cheek "aww Aiden's so sweet, nothing like you think when we see you on stage" said Sue, the other lady "why? what did you think I'd be like off stage?" "Well when you're on stage you do mess about a bit, and in the BTS videos you mess around as well, but when you're doing your beat boxing or singing, you look very stern and when I've seen you in videos playing your guitar, you've got a very menacing stare" said Sue "but you're just so nice and ordinary in real life" said June "thank you, I don't mean to be scary on stage, but I'm concentrating, got to make sure I'm perfect for the fans, don't want you going home disappointed do I?" "Oh you never do that, last night's show was my eighth, I've seen you four times in America" said Kim "well last night's show was my first time of seeing Aiden live on stage, and I loved it" "I must admit your face when Aiden got you on stage, was a picture. I thought you were going to kill him" "I was so embarrassed, I'm basically a shy person so when he called me to go on stage, I was mortified but his singing was beautiful and he made me cry" "do you mind if I butt in, but do you want to order Joe?" "Sure do honey, can I have steak and fries with two eggs and coffee" "that sounds good, can I have the same please" said Aiden "you've not long had a big meal, are you sure you've got room for it" "yes you know I'm always hungry, I'm a growing boy" "would you like anything Freya" asked Shelly "can I just have cheesy chips and coffee please?" she looked puzzled and said "cheesy chips? what are cheesy chips? Never heard of them before."

She looked at Aiden, he shrugged his shoulders and said "don't ask me, it must be a Welsh thing because her chips are our fries, so what are cheesy chips darling?" "Sorry I keep forgetting where I am, it's just a bowl of fries straight out of the fryer and you put a dollop of grated cheese on top, but the fries have to be really hot so that the cheese starts melting, I love them" "right cheesy chips it is" said Shelly, Aiden turned to the three ladies and asked if they wanted anything "well we've already eaten, but we were going to have pie and milkshakes" said June "well let me treat you to your pie and milkshakes then" said Aiden "oh thank you, that would be lovely" said Kim. So they gave their orders to Shelly and they were soon tucking into their absolutely delicious food. "That steak looks lovely" Freya said to Aiden. He cut a piece off and fed it to her, "Mmmm that's delicious, in fact I'd say I prefer that one to the one I had in the hotel, teamed with my cheesy fries I'm in heaven" "which hotel are you staying at?" Asked June, "The Yacht, south side" Freya said "Shelly, you cook better steaks than your brother, Freya and Aiden are staying at the Yacht hotel, isn't your brother head chef there?" asked June "yes he is, but who do you think taught him to cook? me. Do you really prefer mine to my brother's?" "Yes it's gorgeous if I hadn't eaten so much earlier on I'd have one to myself" "you'll have to call in again" said Shelly "love to, but after we've finished these it's back to the hotel, finish packing and then we're hitting the road, to the next destination, but if we're this way again we'll definitely call in" said Aiden.
