Knee deep in my heart

"Westlife for the last time" -Show

Shane
I woke up and still saw this blonde girl. "Shane you've to concentrate on yourself.", I said to me. "The chance to see her again in Dublin is 0." In the breakfast room the lads waited for me. "Good morning Shay. Did you sleep well?" "No Nico. I didn't get her out of my head." "Whom?" "The blonde woman from the pub yesterday." "I don't think that we'll see her again. After recording the show today we'll go back to Sligo.", Kian said. "That makes it not better." "Maybe we could ask the guy on the bar in the pub if he knows her.", Mark said. "We cannot go there and ask" "Why not?", Nicky asked. "I see the newspaper title  Westlifes Shane is searching  a woman in Dublin." "If we don't try it we'll never know it.", Kian said. "Ki is right Shay.", Mark said. "Ok, but let's go now."
The pub was closed, but Nico knocked on the door. Someone opened it.
"Hello." "Oh hello. Did you forget something? We have closed.", the guy said. "We have only one question. Can we come in?", Nicky said. "Ok Come in and let's hear." "But one thing before. Don't tell it to the newspaper. We don't want to get a title in it.", Nico said. "I'll say nothing. By the way, I'm your fan and I'll be on the show tonight." "Great to hear that.", Kian smiled.  "Do you remember the blonde woman on this table there from yesterday? She was here with another girl and a guy.", Nico asked. "Oh yes. I think you mean Sophia and Steven. There are always here at the weekends." "And Steven is Sophias boyfriend?", Mark asked. "No, it's her brother. I don't know the other girl who was with them. Why do you ask?" "We're searching, or better say our buddy Shane here is searching this woman.", Kian said and slapped on my shoulder. "I'm so sorry. I only know the first name." "Ok. So thank you.", I said. "I could talk to her when I see her again." "Eeehhm...no it's ok. So thank you and goodbye.", I said and pulled the lads with me. "Bye and sorry." "Shay, I don't understand you. You've heard, the guy is her brother not boyfriend.", Nicky said. "Nico, I don't want that he talk to her. What will she think about me?" "She will think that you're interested in her.", Kian smiled. "Let's go guys. I want to do this show to 200% tonight and don't think about a woman I don't know."

I was in my element when we did the last rehearsals. "It's gonna be great tonight guys.", I smiled. "Good to see you smiling Shane.", Mark said. "So we have now two hours till the show start guys. Let's have a dinner now, I'm hungry.", Kian said. "It's gonna be exciting. Our families will be here tonight. I think they'll arrive soon. I cannot wait to see Georgina." Kian kicked Nicky under the table with his foot." "Ouch." I looked at both. "I'm ok guys. You can talk about your wifes." "Finally our dessert.", Mark smiled. "A dessert is like sex.", Kian grinned. Nicky kicked him under the table with his foot. "Ouch." I smiled. "Guys, I'm ok." "One hour to go lads.", Mark smiled. We went out of our dinner room when our families came in. "Hi Shane.", my mum hugged me. "Hi mum, hi dad. Why are you all so late?" "We had much traffic.", my dad said. "I'm happy that you're here. Hi Finbarr, great to see you bro." I saw Nicky and Kian kissing their wifes and also Nicky hugging his twin boys and felt sad. "Are you ok?", my dad asked. "Yes sure. You should go now and take your seats."

Our ritual was it to stay in a circle and our arms around us. Then a last hug with Nicky, Kian and Mark and the show started. In the moment I was up on stage and saw the fans I forgot her. We saw the guy from the bar together with his girlfriend. It was a successful show.

"Great show guys.", I said backstage. "Shane?" "Yes Nico?" He was thinking about something. "Great show buddy.", he said and slapped on my shoulder. I knew that he wanted to say something else, but I didn't ask him.
