A month later&ldots;
"As part of this final communication between us, I must say that this assignment has been one of pure enjoyment, and I have you to thank for this.
I must confess, that a month ago, Shane confronted me after you left the café, and told me that he had overheard us chatting, but I made him swear to keep it to himself, until we got back to Dublin.
Well, I must get ready for tonight’s concert, and the show-biz party afterwards. I need the chance to let my hair down, and I believe this place they’ve hired has Karaoke, so no doubly drunken singing will be in order.
I will await further instructions once I get back to Dublin tomorrow evening.
Yours truly,
Eilidh"
KNOCK KNOCK
"Hang on,
I’m coming," Eilidh said, pressing send on the e-mail, and
closing the laptop. "Nicky, I was not expecting you!"
"Look, I need to
talk with you!" Nicky said, walking past me.
"Oh, what about?"
"You and
Georgina. Sound familiar?"
"I’ve got
no idea what you’re on about?"
"Shane told me,
I cant believe that you accepted it."
"Nix, I had no
choice, it was either say yes or be out of a job."
"But to pretend
to be writing an article, when really you were spying on me. "
"Nicky, I’m
really sorry, but I’m not to blame. I swear, I didn’t want
to hurt you.
"What?"
"I’m in
love with you, I was in love with you way before Georgina approached
me for the mission.
"But why did you
agree to the silly experiment?"
"G made it so
glamorous, and well, the chance to be near you, kind of sealed it,
but I couldn’t really tell G that!"
"Well, then!
Have u e-mailed her today?"
"Yes, just sent
the final one off, why?"
"well,"
Nicky said, moving towards me, with this sexual look in his eyes.
"Nicky, what are
you thinking?"
Beep, Beep, Beep,
"Hello?"
Eilidh said, with the phone resting between her head and shoulder.
"E, it’s G.
Just got your e-mail. Lets hope that Shane.."
"I’ve got
to go. Anto has just invited me into their final rehearsal so I must dash!!!"
"You got someone there."
"Its only the
doorman, telling me that the car is downstairs, so gotta fly,
bye!" Eilidh said, in a hurry, turning her phone off in a hurry.
"Ready, are we
going or what?" Eilidh said, walking out the door.
"E, you okay?
Was that G on the phone."
"Yeah, let’s
not go there, I’m officially not employed by her anymore, so
it’s time I showed you the real me."
"hmmm, lets skip
rehearsals, and have our own private rehearsals" Nicky said,
licking his lips.
"Nix, we
can’t. and we better go, unless you want them to talk about us."
"I suppose it
can wait until later, I guess." Nicky said, slightly annoyed.
"I’ll be waiting!" Eilidh said.
"What, no Laptop
today, Eilidh?" Bryan said, jokingly.
"No, I don’t
need it today. I’ve actually finished the article, but sadly
the editor says it didn’t make this month’s issue. Eilidh
said, sipping her coffee backstage.
"That’s not
very good, tell me the name of the magazine, and I’ll slammed
them so hard." Bry said.
"Bry, don’t
you get it? there wasn’t any article in the first place was
there Eilidh?" Shane said, looking directly at her.
"Shane, cut it
out, would ya! Look that business is closed, so don’t you dare
mention it, unless you want the other lads to know about that little
secret you told me about 2 days ago, the one about that German
girl." Nicky said, fuming.
"NO!" Shane
said, shutting up.
"I think I need
to be truthful for once, Shane’s right, there was no article.
I’m a fraud, but don’t hate me for pretending to be someone
you thought you could trust!" Eilidh said,
"Why did you lie
to us then?" Mark said.
"Well, if
you’re looking for answers, then you need to talk to Georgina.
This was her idea. Me pretending to be a writer, when really I was
just spying on Nicky and reporting back to G. It was hard for me, I
must admit, cos I was in love with Nicky before I met him in person.
I’d never seen such a nice guy before, and when Georgina saw me
that day, walking past his house like a tourist, she befriended me
and got me on the tour so I could keep an eye on Nicky.
"So you and G
aren’t the bosom buddies, she’s been saying you were!"
Kian said.
"No, I only met
her 5 weeks ago. Lets just say that I’m not really a Private Spy!!!
