I Got My Heart On You (Ronan Keating / Michael Graham / Boyzone) Fan Fiction

Nineteen

So Gregg and I found ourselves in the pub before everyone else. Keith had decided to take Kim for an early dinner, so that he could ask her out properly, and Ronan and Mike had gone to pick up their respective girlfriends, gentlemen that they were. 

We tried to avoid talking shop and  ending up talking about Rick instead which depressed both of us, so then we started doing shots  and were already well on our way to being drunk by the time the others turned up.

Shane and Stephen came in first with their spouses, wondering where everyone else was. 

Apparently when Keith had phone them to invite them out, he'd said we'd all be meeting in the pub at 6pm. I looked at my watch, hadn't realised it was already 6:30. 

"Oh well Keith's coming a bit later, and Mick and Ro should be here anytime now" said Gregg. 

"Ah ok, drink?" offered Shane. I giggled. 

"I think I'd better hold off for a bit. Can I have a coke?"

"Lightweight" muttered Gregg under his breath and I giggled again. 

"Sure. Gregg?"

"Yeah, I'll have a pint please Shanno"

Shane went off to get our drinks and his wife Joanne sat down at the opposite side of the table next to Stephen and his husband Anthony who had already sat down. 

I started making polite conversation with Joanne and Anthony whilst Stephen asked Gregg about the progress of the album. Ronan, Mikey, Amy and Jennifer all arrived together about half an hour later, they'd shared a car apparently. Kim and Keith arrived an hour later looking totally loved up.

We all gelled well together as a group and started buying rounds for each other, as it was easier than going up to the bar individually. In fact we'd even started to all drink wine as it was easier to buy by the bottle. Apart for Amy, who I'm sure was just being awkward for the sake of it. 

Ronan had just rolled his eyes and grinned and me when she'd ordered a gin and tonic in the last round.

"Ok, whose round is it?!" asked Ronan a good while later. I stared at him for a moment. 

"We'll go" said Kim suddenly and dragged me with her to the bar.

"Come on Vic. Spill..."

"What?"

"You and Ro. There's something going on isn't there?"

"WHAT?"

"NO!"

"What makes you think that?"

"Oh" 

"It's just.." 

"Maybe I imagined it, but he keeps looking at you like...." 

"Well it's almost like he's jealous"

"Whenever you mention Rick, or talk to Gregg..."

"And you can't keep you're eyes off him!"

I blushed furiously. Oooooops.

"Oh god Kim, it's so embarrassing, I think I fancy him!"

"What's embarrassing about that?"

"Well nothing I guess, but he doesn't know and...I mean, obviously I fancy Mick as well!!"

"Well duh!" She grinned at me.

"But he's got a girlfriend"

"They both have" I wailed in despair.

"Oh Vic!" Kim laughed and put her arms around me, "we'll get you a man, an Irish one" she paused and grinned, "but I'm just not sure which one" she added with a wink. 

"Very funny" I muttered. 

"Come on, we'd better go back, they'll be wondering where the hell we've been for their drinks" I said. Kim laughed. 

We made our way back to the table with a couple of trays laden with various drinks and shots.

I glanced over at Mikey as I sat back down, who was deep in conversation with his girlfriend. I blushed as I realised he was staring back at me, I smiled at him tentatively and turned back to Kim.

 "Sorry, you were saying?" Kim laughed. 

"You're blushing Vic" "I, erm...yeah" I said with a laugh, really embarrassed now.
