When Freya met Aiden

54

"Unfortunately they won't, my T-shirts aren't merchandise, I have them specially made, I see a picture I like and get it put on a t-shirt, there isn't anywhere around here that print t-shirts is there?" "Yes actually there is, Simon is in the bar, but there wouldn't be time to get anything printed in the morning, would there. Don't you have to be off early in the morning?"  Well I'll have a word with Simon, if you'll introduce us?" "right we'd better get back or Bill and Aiden will send out a search party, and I think they're starting again. I should take Anna home but she's having fun and I don't think I could get her away from Aiden" "nobody wants to leave him, you should see them at the shows, they're very reluctant to leave any of the guys." Off they went to be greeted by Aiden and Bill "thought you two had fallen down the loos" said Aiden "where's Anna?" "Don't worry, she's safe with Charles and Jed, we wouldn't leave her, now would we?" Said Bill "no you wouldn't, and we've been talking, Anna's coming in the car with us tomorrow and I've got to see Simon in the bar, to see if he can print a couple of T-shirts in the morning for Anna, apparently she loves this picture" "I love that picture as well, and no I'm not conceited, Freya was wearing this very T-shirt when we first met and had our first kiss. well I'm doing a couple more numbers with Ethan and Steve, who is dead happy because he asked if he could join in for a couple and we've said 'yes'" "ok, back in there and tell Anna who she's travelling with tomorrow" said Paula. So they started to walk into the other room, but Aiden pulled Freya in for a kiss and Bill did the same with Paula, just then the door opened and in walked Mrs Woods, "Tshk!! It's just like high school, can't you people wait till you get home" "not really Mrs Woods, Freya and I live in America so it would be a long wait" said Aiden "OH Mr Ross!!! I mean Aiden, I didn't realize it was you, I do apologize, carry on" and off she went looking flustered. 

Once the door was closed they all looked at one another and burst out laughing. Aiden pulled Freya in for a kiss " will you behave yourself!!!" "it's ok, Mrs Woods told us to 'carry on' and I was told you have to do what the teacher tells you to do" and he kissed her again "yes well, we'd better get going or we'll still be here when she comes back, come on" "ok bossy boots, let's go and see Anna." They all got back and Anna came running over, she stood in front of them all  glaring, as only a five year old can, "where have you been?" "To the loo, you know that and we've been talking about you, I've decided that if Aiden says 'yes' you can travel to Rogina with him and Freya, what do you say Aiden? can you put up with her for two and a half hours?" He stood there tapping his chin, looked at Anna and gave her one of his special smiles and said "of course we can, she's no trouble, are you sweetheart?" she came up to him and he picked her up "I'll be a good girl uncle Aiden, pinkie promise" and she hooked her little, little finger and looked at him, he looked at Freya "you have to hook your finger like Anna's doing and shake on it, it's a 'pinkie promise' and it's a promise that CANNOT be broken, that's right isn't Anna?" "Yes aunty Freya" so he hooked his finger and shook on it and Anna kissed him on the cheek "it means you've got to be a good boy as well, uncle Aiden" "I'm always a good boy, aren't I aunty Freya?" "yes darling, uncle Aiden's always a good boy." Well Aiden went back to the stage and Paula took Freya to meet Simon. "Hi Simon, I'd like you to meet Freya, she's Aiden...." "I know who Freya is, she's Aiden Ross's fiancee, pleased to meet you, how can I help?" "Well I was wondering if it would be possible for you to print a couple of t-shirts early tomorrow morning, we going in the morning, but I need a couple of t-shirts for Anna and maybe a couple of spare adult ones, and I don't care what it costs" "SURE!!! I can do that for you, and I won't rip you off, I'll just charge the going rate, all I'll need is the pictures you want on them and the size and color of T-shirts you want" so Paula and Freya spent the next twenty minutes deciding which pictures to put on the T-shirts and the colors and sizes they wanted, by the time they'd finished Anna had one for each day of the week, Paula and Bill had a couple each, Freya had a couple of new ones printed and Freya found an absolutely stunning picture of a dragon, so she had that done for Aiden. Simon said "when I normally do the dragon one I put foil on it, shall I put some on if I have time?" "It would look awesome, but don't put yourself out, I think Aiden will love it as it comes because he loves dragons."
