Insy’s point of view
I had always been convinced I’d meet Westlife some day. But that it would happen in the way it happened me I never expected! In the weekends I work in a hotel to make some money. Only my monthly money ain’t enough for me. I have to pay so much! Clothes, school stuff and my mobile phone bill! Not that my phone bill so huge as Shane’s from Westlife, but it’s still quite big. Anyway back to the hotel. Of course I had different kind of things to do. Working in the kitchen, cleaning, but also standing behind the drinking-bar and room-service.
I wasn’t even aware Westlife was in Holland, but I found it out quite soon though! I was sweeping the floor in the dining room of the hotel. There was nobody seen. It was morning. The radio was on hard and the song “lady marmalade” bursted out the speakers. “Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister!” I sang loudly. I had been taking sang classes for a few years now. I started to personate Christina Aguilera dancing and singing in the video. I had no idea I was being watched, but as soon as the music ended I heard a loud cheer and applause from someone. I turned around shocked. There was he… The boy of my dreams…
The lad I always wanted to meet. Shane Filan. I jumped back and blushed. I felt embarrassed, cause I had been dancing in a way I only did when I was all on my own. You know, shaking’ tha thing, doing stuff with ur hips, and now he had seen me. I said nothing. But continued my work a little bit insecure. ‘He is just some guy, like every other guy’ I thought.
“Hi” He said.
“Hi” I replied without looking up.
“That was very good, and ehm… sexy” He commented. I looked up to him, I felt myself all turning red now.
“Thank you” I whispered in a shy voice. He gave me a quick wink and away was he, as soon as he came, he had disappeared again…
Shane’s point of view
Today something strange has happened to me. I saw the girl of my dreams. It might sound strange…
We don’t even know each other, but god she’s so beautiful. I would like to get to know her! I was walking in the lobby of our hotel when I heard a singing voice coming from the dinging room. I checked it out. There she was in a black skirt, wearing a beige coloured, spaghetti banded top sweeping the floor of the diningroom. She must have been from the staff. She was singing lady marmalade, dancing around. God, she was sexy! The way she danced and her voice! She could sing those awfully high notes Christina Aguilera does in lady marmalade. She did them perfect. When the music ended I clapped my hands. When she saw me she jumped back, smiled a little bit nervous, shove her blonde hair behind her ears and continued working.
“Hi” I began.
“Hi” She answered without looking up. She seemed be so in her own world.
“That was very good, and ehm sexy” I stuttered a bit. She looked up.
“Thank you” She said in a sweet way. Her cheeks were really red. It was so cute… She seems so fragile. Mmm, I’m so happy we’re in Holland for a week!
Insy’s point of view
‘Ow stupid bitch!’ I thought to myself. I was angry with myself I hadn’t say anything more to Shane. ‘What would he think about me now?’ I thought. So, if Shane was in the hotel that would certainly mean… that the other lads were here too!
‘Insy, just forget it! Shane is just another guy… He will never like someone like you… because you’re too simple. You only love the music they make’
But however I tried to get him off my mind it didn’t work for me… My work didn’t went as fast as usual that day.
When I held a break to drink something my boss came in.
“Insy, hello, how is it going?”
“Me or work?” I snapped.
“Both” He answered cheer. “What’s up, why you so grumpy?”
“Couldn’t you warn me for the new guests?”
“New guests? Ow right! Didn’t I tell you then?”
“No” I hissed.
“Well, then you know it now, right?” He laughed.
“Yeah, I surely do and I already made a total fool of myself” I roared.
“Hmm… wonder why you don’t like our new guests???”
“Well, the point is that one of them is the guy of my dreams, and that I just made a total fool of myself because I didn’t know they were here, cause a certain “dude” didn’t told me about that!”
“Aaah so who is the lucky guy? Shall I arrange a date for you?” He asked teasingly.
“Just keep that out of your mind!” I blushed. “It’s Shane by the way”
“Shane Filan ah? Good guy! Grab him and his money”
“What??? Hello, I if I’d grab him than just him, not his money. I don’t care about money!”
“Why you work then?”
“To take care of myself and my bills”
“Aaaah I see… Well, have fun working today. Tonight you will have room service!” And my boss disappeared again.
“Loser…” I whispered. I poured my Bacardi Breezer. I had been spending already 2 bloody hours cleaning the damnit dining room now. Usually I could do it within a hour. My mind drifted back to Shane. His hazel green eyes, and his lovely brown hair…
“Hello again” If you think about the devil…
“Hi” I looked up.
“Finished work?” Shane asked.
“Nope, gotta do the washing up right away” I sighed.
“Right, still have to say that I think you have a wonderful voice” He said.
“Oww thank you” I tried to smile at him. There was a silence for a few minutes.
“So ehm… Gotta go back to work, my boss will kill me if it ain’t finished”
“I understand, could I have a beer?”
“Sure” I answered, and I gave him a glass of beer. When he paid me the money, his warm hand touched mine. He softly squeezed the top of my hand. I felt shivers down my spine. After taking the money I went without saying goodbye to the kitchen to do the washing up.
Shane’s point of view
“You like a chick that works here?” Kian asked grinning.
“O yeah, she is sooo beautiful” I sighed. “But she is kinda mysterious. She doesn’t seem to be interested in me”
“Nah, she is just shy” Was Kian’s opinion.
“You think I should ask her out?” I asked.
“You cud buy her a drink” Kian suggested.
“Good idea, I’m gonna give it a try right away!” I said jumping of the chair in my hotel room.
“You go for it and talk to her, because Filan, me mate this time you should make the move to do sumthing. You always get the girls coming up to you. And if it won’t work you can always try your stare-sessions” Kian grinned. I laughed sheepishly. “See ya, dude!” And I went downstairs. There she was in the dining room, pouring a drink. God, she already drove me mad sitting there.
‘Baby, you should know what you do with my hormones’ I thought to myself. She hadn’t notice me yet. ‘Go for it, Filan!’
“Hello again…” I whispered.
“Hi” She looked at me. She always seemed to be so absent minded. So far away with her head from normal life. Where would she think about? Some guy she liked? Definitely not me! How could a girl this perfect like me?
“Finished work?” I asked brave.
“Nope, gotta do the washing up right away”
“Right, still have to say that I think you have a wonderful voice”
“Oww, thank you” She smiled her o so beautiful smile at me and looked me straight into my eyes now. There were so blue. I could drown in them…
“So, gotta go back to work. My boss will kill me if it ain’t finished” She said after a short silence.
“I understand… Could I have a beer?” I asked.
“Sure” She answered and she gave me a glass of beer. When I paid the money I softly squeezed the top of her hand. I saw her shocking a little bit. It was like there was someone electrotyping her, was this a sign she liked me too? But then after taking the money she just left to the kitchen without saying a word. Hmmm… I just have to ask her out I suppose buying her a drink wouldn’t be useful, she works here so she can take a drink herself…
Insy’s point of view
“Insy, can you bring this to room 203?” My boss gave me a table on wheels full of food.
“Sure” I answered. ‘Dah, I have to! I work here!’ I thought sarcastically. It was around 10 o’clock pm now. ‘Ow, I wanna see Shane! I need to see him and I want to talk to him like I dreamt about all these years I’ve been fan. Goddamnit! Why am I just so shy of my looks and my body? Gosh, he wants a thin girl with long, tanned legs. And I have short legs. God! I need a miracle for him to like me’ I thought as I drove the table forward. When I knocked the door of room 203 a drunk, tall, blonde lad opened the door. I recognized him as Bryan!
“Room service, sir”
“Ri- hik –ght hik come hik in hik!” All the lads were partying with loud music in the room. Shane was there too. Luckily Bryan was the only drunk guy. Shane shocked up as he saw me, and Kian did either. Nicky turned off the music.
“Sorry m’am. We were just fooling around a bit”
“Ow” I replied. ‘Say something good!’ I thought to myself. I didn’t know what to say else…
“Well, I don’t mind”
“Mmm Filan. Is that her?” Mark asked. Shane was still staring at me like crazy. He nodded. The boys examined me. “She looks good” They all said. “Not a bad choice…” What the heck did they mean by that?
“Shall I put this on the bill?” I asked pointing to the food.
“That’s foine” Nicky replied.
“Ok, so than I’m going, I guess. Or do you need anything else?” I asked nervously.
“Shane desperately needs a date with you” Kian teased his band mate.
“What?” Shane gasped blushing. A date? So, he did like me, or was it a joke? I wanted to walk out the door, but the door was closed which I hadn’t seen, so I bumped into it with my head. A bang was heard. The next thing I knew was Shane standing beside of me.
“You ok love?” He asked.
“Love?” I asked like a half drunken girl seeing stars for my eyes. “Yes of course I believe in love” I spoke confused. Then the darkness swallowed me up.
I opened my eyes and laid in a bed. “It was a dream” I thought out loud.
“No, it wasn’t” I heard a voice whisper in my ear. I looked beside me and there was Shane.
“Shane” I mumbled.
“Hi beauty” He smiled at me. “What’s your name?”
“Insy” I whispered.
“Right, you banged with your head to the door. Why did ya wanna leave that quick?”
“Ehm… can I ask you something first… I know it’s gonna be hard for me”
“Sure” He said.
“Do you ehm… like me?” I asked. He nodded.
“I tried to tell you all the time, but you wanted to go all the time away, so why’s that?”
“I thought you didn’t like me, and I didn’t dare to hope you would like me”
“So, that means?”
“I like you very much” He smiled at me and kissed my forehead very carefully like I was breakable.
“Strange situation to confess this all right?” He asked.
“Right, but you where the one who started to ask” I reminded him.
“I just had to know” He said softly. “So, would you like to get out with me sometime?” He asked.
“You bet ya” I smiled and sat up.
“You know even with that blue spot on your head you look sexy” He said. I laughed.
“You look sexy too” I replied.
“Thanks” He smiled, bent forward and kissed my lips softly. I answered his kiss. And we kissed for like a few minutes.
“Would you like to get out with me?” I asked.
“You take the words out of my mouth…” He grinned. “It’s was the same thing I was about to ask you!” I smiled and kissed him again…
