When Freya met Aiden

68

"I know you did he's told me, he's always felt safe and loved when he was with you, right from the very beginning. He's told me there's only one person he loves as much as me, and that's you" "Did he really say that? Bless him, well he's OK now he's got you and between us we'll make sure he's loved" "He's got me as well, I think nearly everyone that meets him falls in love with him. I know Lianne, Krysta and Pearl do, even though they tease him sometimes, and little Anna she really loves him and he her" said Karan "Oh I know my lot do, they think he's fantastic, he makes me happy. I sometimes think the reason we love each other so much, is because we were never loved by the people who should. I mean when you get married your supposed to be loved by your spouse, not beaten and abused like Aiden, or mental torture and being controlled all the time. The only time I was happy was when I was away from him and I suppose it was the same for Aiden. But we're perfectly happy with each other and it's going to stay like that for ever." 

The door opened and Krysta walked in, "Don't worry I haven't come looking for you, I need the loo. Mind you if you three ever get lost we'll just find the nearest loo, you're always in one talking, it's like something from a spy film, hiding in plain sight. After all the loo is the place women do an awful lot of talking isn't it?" They all started laughing "That's it, we're spy's meet 001, 001 and a half, and 001 and three quarters" said Karan and held her fingers like they were a gun and said in a Russian accent "you will tell us all your country's secrets" and then burst out laughing. " We'd better get back out there, or they'll all be wondering what we're up to" said Georgie, "Definitely, I'm quiet surprised Aiden's not wanting food, he's always hungry I don't know where he puts it all, it's a wonder he's not like the size side of a house!!!" "Well he does get plenty of exercise, on and off the stage" giggled Krysta. "KRYSTA, BEHAVE!!!!, you shouldn't talk like to your mother!!!" Freya said, "I MEANT he likes to keep fit, hiking, going to the gym, and things like that, anything else is just in your mucky mind, mother." Freya went bright red, they looked at her as if to say 'well?' "Ok, he gets plenty of different kinds of exercise as well and we'll leave it at that" Freya said.

 They all went back into the room to find Aiden sitting up saying, "I'm starving, where can we get some food, or do we have to go back to the hotel?" The ladies all looked at one another and started laughing, "What's so funny girls, have I got something on my face?" "No darling, it's just that I was just saying it's a wonder you're not asking for food, you're always hungry, and we come back and that's exactly what you're doing" "Well I'm starving, all the guys are, you use an awful lot of energy on stage and we've got to do a couple of zoom calls before we can eat, that's the only reason I'm awake, that big bully over there woke me up, didn't you REGAN" "Regan is not a bully, you know you got to do the zoom calls, but as soon as Anna snuggled in you fell asleep, and you were snoring" "I've told you before, I don't snore I was practicing my Beat boxing. Right we'd better get on with it, I need food." Freya went to the fridge and took out a bag of snickers, she was quite surprised they were still there, "Will these keep you going for a bit?" And she handed over the bag to Aiden. "I could kiss you, I'd forgotten all about these. Hmmm snickers" and he stood up and kissed her "thank you darling, they might last five minutes" and he laughed as he popped one in his mouth and offered the bag around, everybody except the guys said 'no thanks' but for a little voice, "May I have one please, uncle Aiden?" "If you're mom says it's ok" "You can have some, but only because your on an adventure""Thank You mommy, thank you uncle Aiden" as she took one. "An adventure? does she do this a lot, come backstage with all of you?" "No it's her first time, isn't it darling? we only found Paula and Anna two days ago" "Two DAYS?!!! But you're her aunt and uncle aren't you?" "I was researching my family tree and discovered I had two nieces in Canada, and Paula and Anna are my nieces. So everything is new to Anna, she's on an adventure, aren't you darling?" "Yes aunty Freya, I'm on an adventure and I love it" "Right we've got to go and do the zoom calls, and you're coming with me darling" and Aiden took hold of my hand. "You don't need me, it's you the fans want to talk to" "And you, these are some of the fans that might never get to a show, so they want to meet you as well, they want to see who's stolen my heart." "Perhaps you should take Anna then, she's definitely stolen your heart" "Yes she has, but not in the same way, I'm going to marry you and we're going to live happily ever after, aren't we darling?" "Of course we are, you and me against the world forever and ever, so of course I'll come with you." "You don't get an option, if you don't come voluntarily I'll pick you up and carry you there" "You all heard that he's a big bully, threatening to carry me off." "Well, if you don't go I'd only have to open the door, and I could have a line of women willing and wanting to be carried off by Aiden, so stop moaning mother and go with Aiden" said Lianne. He looked down at Freya "Well? are you walking or being carried?" Freya took his hand "I think I'll walk, much more dignified." He gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Good girl, let's go and introduce you to the fans."
