When you're looking like that

In the pub

"Nico you should talk with her after our rehearse today.", Kian said. "Yes, tell her the truth. We should go to the pub tonight again. Invite her to come with us.", Shane said. "I cannot tell her the truth." "Then give us her address.", Mark said. "What? No. I'll go to her. But now let's talk about the tour." Two hours later  when we made a little break I went to Nina to tell her the truth.

At midday my doorbell rung. I opened the door and saw in Nicos eyes. "Nico what are you doing here?" "Nina I.....did you cry?" "Why should I cry?" "I left you only with this letter." "Oh you think you have to excuse you?! So for me it was only a one night stand. What did you think?" "You mean you felt nothing last night?" I shoked my head. "You wanted to tell me something?" "Oh, yes. The other lads are in the pub tonight. It would be nice to see you there." "Ok, I'll come. Anything else?" "No." I closed the door and broke down in tears. I had fallen in love so badly.

Nico
I didn't believe her. I went back to the lads. "Nico, how did she react?", Kian asked.  "I didn't tell her what I wanted." "But why?", Mark wanted to know. "I saw tears in her eyes." "She cried?", Kian asked. " I don't know. She said that she felt nothing last night. It was only an one night stand." I sat down and cried. "Oh Nico. You're in love. ", Shane said and slapped on my shoulder. "She closed the door in front of my eyes like nothing happened." "Will she come tonight?", Mark asked. "Yes, but I will stay at home guys. I don't want to see her." "But she should know the truth.", Shane said. "Please don't tell her who we are." "But Nico...", Kian said. "Please guys." "Ok, but that makes it not better. You know she will be at our gig and she said her sister won tickets. So it could be that they have a meet & greet.", Shane said. "I need time. I cannot believe what she said." "We'll talk later. Our break is over.", Mark said. "Common guys. Paula is waiting.", Shane said.

I was thinking about Nicos words. If he felt something last night why did he wrote this letter? Why did he come back? And what was the secret? It was so boring and I was thankful that I would meet the guys again. I took a shower and tried to forget the last night. He was always in my head. I've never felt so much for a man. I took my bag and walked along the beach to the pub. The boys were waiting there. "Hey guys." "Hi Nina." "Where is Nico?" They looked at each other. "He's at home.", Shane said. "Oh, but why?" "He's not feeling good.", Kian said. "He looked healthy when he invited me today to come. He didn't told you about last night, did he?" "He's our best friend.", Mark said. "But I said him that it was not more for me than an one night stand." "Yes we know, but he didn't want to see you.", Shane said. "Nina did you felt absolute nothing?", Mark asked. "Guys...he was the one who left the bed without a word. He only wrote a letter. He has a secret and cannot tell me what it is. He wrote that he don't want to see me again." "Ok, ehhhm, did you inform you about Westlife?", Shane asked. "No, I have no internet. I'm waiting for my new mobile phone and internet in my appartment. Why do you ask?" "Your sister won the tickets?" "Yes Shane." "Do you know if there is a meet&greet included?" "I don't know. But she would freak out." "How old is your sister?", Kian asked. "She's 16. That's why I don't know so much about this band. She's still living at home. I'm 10 years older." "But Westlife started in 1998. And you've never heard about them?", Kian asked. "No. Like I said. I have no faveourite band or singer. I'm listening to the charts and radio. I only know from my sister that they are cute and sexy and irish." The lads laughed. "Why are you laughing?" "Ehhhhm, it's not important.", Shane said. "Are you here again tomorrow?" "No, we're only here at the weekends, but next weekend is family time. We could see us in two weeks.", Kian said. "Ok, maybe Nico will come again. Eehhmm... I'll give you my phone number. Maybe we can see us in the next days. And you know where you can find me. I'm in the kindergarten every day." "We'lll call you. And of course you can always call us.", Shane said. "Thank you guys. It felts like we know us many years. And I really want to meet your girlfriends next time guys." "Yes sure, we can meet us in two weeks. Then you can tell us about the Westlife concert." "Oh yes I will." I hugged everyone and went back home. Nico was still in my head.
