|| Secrets
Katie tried to act calm and uninterested when her mother told her she had to take her little sister Amy to a westlife signing at the record store in town, after all she couldn't let on to anyone that she liked westlife, it wouldn't fit into her moody image. But in her bedroom when the door was locked out would come her secret stash of westlife magazines and on would go her personal stereo with westlife songs playing. Secretly pleased that her mom had said she'd have to take Amy she headed of to her room to fantasise about that day.
Standing in the freezing cold with hundreds of girls a lot of than younger than her she realised her fantasies had been just that� they weren't even in the queue to see the lads just in the crowd�she was already to go home but Amy's friend suddenly appeared next to them with her mom "please can we stay please" begged Amy so reluctantly she agreed.
Leaving Amy with her friend's mom while she went to stretch her legs away from the crowd she wondered down an ally, stopping to tie her shoelace, A guy in a baseball cap came out of one of the doors, must have been the side door to the record store she thought. She didn't recognise him at first with the cap pulled firmly down. But as she turned to look back as she walked passed she knew, she'd know that bum anywhere. Trying to stay calm and think fast she pulled her cigarettes out of her pocket and walked over to where he was leaning against the wall, "have you got a light please " she said, looking startled the figure looked up - yes its him she said to herself, "no sorry I don't smoke" Nicky said looking a tad nervous. "Hey your one of them guys out that band my sister likes aren't you?"She said, "errr�. Yeah..Please keep your voice down," Nicky said."No probs" said Katie "but could I just get your autograph for my sister please?" " Sure" he said taking the piece of paper Katie pulled from her pocket�what's her name? "Katie" she lied. While he was signing she tried to think of a way to strike up conversation but how? "You taking a break?" She said "yeah" he said "gets a bit claustrophobic sometimes", he handed her the paper with his autograph on and her heart sank as she realised she'd have to go.
Out the corner of her eye she saw three girls about fourteen or fifteen walking down the ally holding a westlife banner. Looking startled and panic stricken Nicky whispered "help the door stuck I cant get in" thinking fast she took a deep breath and lent forward and did the only thing she could think of to stop them recognising him, as her lips touched his her hold body began to tingle she wrapped her arms around his neck to hide his face and wished those girls would walk slow, No reaction from Nicky at first but when he realised what she was doing he began to kiss her back, the feel of his soft lips on hers and his hot sweet breath on her gave her goose bumps. She opened her eyes to see the girls disappear round the corner at the end of the ally and Nicky must have seen them too and pulled away.
Silence, they just stood staring at each other she was basking in what had happened and wishing he was to "erm�thanx" Nicky said breaking the silence looking a tad embarrassed but a little strange at the same time, "anytime" replied Katie her cheeks burning up, "bit of an ice maiden are you?" Nicky asked. "Why'd you say that?" Katie said "well nothing fazes you does it, not many girls your age would be as calm as you in the last ten minutes" Nicky said his eyes dancing mockingly "girls my age? How do you know how old I am?" She asked jokingly "ahh id say about 18 Nicky replied", "oh well your wrong im 19, your not as good as guessing ages as you are kissing" she said before she could stop herself. Nicky stopped laughing and stared at her, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her there and then, Nicky out stretched his arms pulled her into them lifted her chin and began to kiss her, she responded eagerly. Suddenly a voice from inside the door was shouting "Nicky Nicky where the hell are you" shit Nicky said I gotta go�tomorrow meet me tomorrow hear about 10am yes? Yeah sure Katie replied not so cool any more but trembling. with that he gave a shout to the voice behind the door "its stuck" boom the door swung open and he disappeared inside. She headed back to her sister in a daze not quite sure what had happened�Lying in her bed that night thinking over those wonderful fifteen minutes she contemplated what would happen tomorrow, would he be there? What would they say? What would they do? He wont be there she thought to herself, but he was genuine when he said it, proberly just wants to make sure im not going to the press she concluded.
As she turned the corner into the ally the next morning just after 10 she lifted her head to see a figure in a navy blue tracksuit and baseball cap slouching against the wall, walking towards him he lifted his head smiling "hi"he said, "Hi" she replied her heart pounding. "Listen" he said "do you know anywhere we can go we need to talk" with a sinking feeling inside her she nodded "we can go to mine my sis is at school and my folks are at work" "sorted" he said, and off they went. As they were walking Nicky asked what her name was remembering what she said yesterday she told him it was Amy. Sitting in the kitchen she braced herself for the please don't go to the press speech but instead he lifted her hand and pulled her over, sitting her on his knee. Nothing was said they just sat kissing passionately until she rose took his hand and lead him up the stairs.
