Life Is A Rollercoaster (Ronan Keating / Boyzone / X Factor) fan fiction

Forty Four

The next day I was up at the crack of dawn.

My flight wasn't until midday, but I was so scared that I'd forgotten something. My things were being shipped over to Ronan's house by ferry, and although neither of us had mentioned it yet. It was assumed that I would move in with him after the tour.

I had to pinch myself most days as I couldn't believe that this was my life.

When I arrived at Dublin airport, I could see poor Ronan being mobbed by a group of girls.

I smiled when I saw that he'd come though, although I'd told him not too. I knew what would happen...

"Excuse me ladies" I heard Ronan say, "I'm here to collect my girlfriend"

They stared at him, mostly disappointed as he walked toward me grinning from ear to ear.

"Ooh but she is pretty though" I heard one of them say.

I blushed, they had probably been slagging me off before that, as I surely would have done if I had been in there shoes.

Fortunately that wasn't the case.

I ran into Ronan's open arms.

"I've missed you babe" he said as he kissed me.

"I've missed you too!" kissing him back.

I suddenly remembered where we were.

"Er, Ro...."

He turned around, there were people staring at us, people with cameras....

Uh, oh.

"Follow me!" said Ro and ran.

I struggled to keep up with him, suddenly we were outside and in Ronan's car which Barrie was driving.

Ro opened the door for me and I collapsed on to the back seat. I was surprised I'd been able to run at all.

My leg could still be quite painful at times.

"Hey Ro, how did you know....?"

"To go that way?"

I nodded.

"I know lots of different ways out of Dublin airport" he said.

"Louis showed them to us when I was with the lads"

It was the first time I'd heard him talk properly about his Boyzone days, I was intrigued. "Tell me more..."

I spent the afternoon laughing, we'd gotten from Ro's car straight onto the tour bus, which was very nice.

He'd told me countless stories of him and the rest of the lad's drunken shenanigans. I'm sure he'd left out the hundreds of girls he must have slept with, and  pointed this out to him laughing.

"Hmm, I guess there were a few" he said smiling.

"But none of them would ever compare to you" he said pulling me into his arms.

"Flatterer!" I teased, smiling up at him.

In truth I don't think I'd ever been happier.
