When Freya met Aiden

52

"Right, so you know everything about Home Front do you? In that case who is Aiden engaged to?" "Some old bag from England, she's got her claws into our precious Aiden and apparently he's madly in love with her, god knows what he sees in someone old enough to be his mom, if I'd have known he was looking for an older woman, he could have had me" "well considering you know everything about Aiden, don't you know what his fiancee looks like?" "I haven't looked at those pictures, they'd turn my stomach, thinking some old bag shagging our Aiden, disgusting" she was going to carry on saying something else, but her friend told her to shut up and put her phone under her nose, and pointed at Freya. She looked at the phone, then at Freya and Aiden, said 'fuck' and got up and walked out. Her friend said "I'm sorry about that, but she's got a thing for Aiden, so when it came out that he was divorced, she honestly thought she was in with a chance, so when it was posted that he's happily engaged to an older lady, well let's just say she's been livid ever since, and she hates your guts, and now she's got you in her sights be careful, she can be a nasty piece of work" "don't worry, you obviously read the papers and things, the last person that tried anything against me got shot, ended up in hospital and died, didn't they, not saying their deaths had anything to do with me, I never laid a finger on them, but she's a pussy cat compared to me, believe me" Aiden had just finished a song with Ethan and came and sat down by Freya, he put his arm around her and kissed her on the cheek "hello darling, who's your friend?" "This is ....." "Shelly's my name, we've only just met. My friend thought you were in a copycat band and you weren't really Aiden Ross, so Freya put her right and I was just telling Freya to watch her back, Lynda is a bit crazy about you and she's not happy that you two are engaged" "she's not dangerous is she, Freya's had enough bad things happening to her without some deranged fan having a go" "did I hear right, you've told Freya to watch her back, is she dangerous?" "Who are you and why do you want to know?" "My name is Detective Stuart, and I want to know because if anything happens to Lady Freya there will be a lot of trouble, she's a British subject and she also works in the British Embassy, so if your friend lays a finger on Lady Freya she'll be in jail so fast, her feet won't touch the ground" "I know I said Lynda was crazy, but I meant crazy about Aiden, as in fan crazy, loving him and dreaming about him, that type of crazy, not crazy enough to hurt Freya, because that would hurt Adam and she wouldn't do anything to hurt Aiden, honestly" "well so long as a friend gives her a gentle warning, because I don't want to make it official, ok?" 

" I'll let her know Detective Stuart, I'd hate for her to get into trouble because I said the wrong thing, it's just she's jealous of Freya, Aiden's her dream man and well while he was single there was hope, but not anymore" "well that's ok then, but if she tries anything I'd hospitalize her, I don't need these two fighting my battles, I'm more than capable, believe me" "right I've got to go back on stage, ok darling" and he kissed her "I'm fine, but I'm going to the loo, be back in a minute" and Freya kissed him back, and he went bounding back on the stage. "I'll come with you to the loo, Anna wants to go" so off they went. Freya went in and found Lynda sitting on the floor crying her eyes out. "Are you ok Lynda?" She looked up and saw it was Freya, and cried some more "what's the matter?sorry daft question, look Shelly told me how you feel about Aiden, I can't change that, same as I can't change the fact that Aiden fell in love with me, but I hope you can understand that people can't help who they fall in love with, I was like you a fan, I meet Aiden we just clicked, I do keep telling him he's daft and there's younger and prettier women out there, but he just keeps telling me I'm all he wants. I know you don't want to hear that, but that's how things are, and they're not going to change. I'm sure there's somebody out there for you, just not Aiden i'm afraid, he's taken"  "I know Freya, it just felt better while I hated you, there was always the chance you'd split up, then you announced your engagement and I must admit I'm as jealous as hell" "Shelly did tell me, told me to watch my back, because you hate my guts" "well I do, sorry DID, as you say 'you can't help who you fall in love with' and if Aiden loves you, well that's OK. I'm obviously sad about it, but I'll get there so long as you're both happy." Freya hugged her "we are Lynda , we are. Now, are you coming back in to listen to Aiden's 'lookie likie'" and she actually laughed "I didn't recognize Aiden on stage, considering how many pictures I've got of him, but he looked so happy it just didn't look like Aiden, he usually looks so stern, you've obviously made him very happy, and I'm glad Honestly I'm glad he's happy, it must have broke his heart his wife cheating on him like that, then leaving him."
