A Fragile Heart
Part 4 Part 5
It started raining. I looked out the window, I saw someone standing looking up, at the apartments. Whoever they were, they were getting very wet, looking like they had been rescued off the Titanic&ldots;It couldn’t be, could it?
I looked again, they were still there. I grabbed my coat, and umbrella, and walked down to where the person was standing.
I couldn’t believe who it was.
"Nicky, what on earth are you doing?" I said, putting the umbrella over him.
"I guess, waiting for you." He said, laughing.
"Why? Why didn’t you just come to my flat?"
"I don’t know, I felt like standing in the rain!"
"Well, I hate to say this but you look like you just survived Titanic!"
We both cracked up laughing.
"Yeah, I wonder where I got that idea from?" He said,
"Yeah, I wonder!, come on, lets get inside, my flat’s nearby." I said.
"Thanks!"
"Nicky, there’s no need to thank me!"
"But I want to, if you hadn’t seen me, I would have got even wetter, and probably got the flu or something."
"Come on, though I’m not sure I’ve got any dry clothes in your size!" I said, grabbing his hand.
"No matter, do ya have a dryer? Just bang them in there!"
"I think I can manage that&ldots;"
I showed Nicky into my flat, showed him the bathroom, and gave his a robe, in return he gave me his clothes.
I quickly put them into the dryer, making sure that they all could be dried in the dryer!!
Soon, Nicky came out, drying his hair.
"Tea?" I asked, putting the kettle on.
"Yep, I’d loved one!"
"I’ll just go check on your clothes&ldots;" I said, heading into the laundry, they were nearly dry&ldots;
"probably another 5 minutes!"
"That’s ok!"
I made the tea, and we sat down on the couch.
"Nicky&ldots;"
My mobile rang.
"Hello?" I said,
"Eilidh, its Fee. Hope I’m not interrupting anything, I just rang to see if we are still on for tonight’s drinks with the girls."
"Fee, of course you AREN’T interrupting anything, why would you think that?"
"I don’t know why I thought that, so are we still meeting in the hotel bar at 7pm."
"Yeah, of course we are. Hang on, a min!" I said, walking into the laundry, "sorry, had clothes in the dryer, which were wet, but they are dry now."
"Ok, well, I’ll see ya later then!"
"Here ya go." I said, handing the clothes back to Nicky.
"Thanks!" He said, heading back to the bathroom, emerging later, fully dressed, "I better head back!"
"Yeah, I’ll see ya around the hotel, maybe."
"Yeah, I think the lads are having drinks in the bar this evening. I don’t know what time though."
"Oh, well, I might see you there then." I said, walking to the door.
"Ok, well, thanks again!"
"For what?" I asked.
"For offering me a dry spot, and drying my clothes off and making me a cup of tea."
"I don’t need to be thanked for that. I didn’t want you to get a cold, or anything."
"Well, I guess I better go. So I’ll see ya later then."
After Nicky left, I collected the cups, and put them into the dishwasher, and grab the wet towels and robe out of the bathroom, and put them into the laundry. It was only 4pm. It felt like much later. I have 3 hours before meeting up with the rest of the girls. I just hoped nothing out of the ordinary happened, while we were there. The others didn’t know that I lived in the hotel that Westlife were staying, they’ll find out when the lads came down for a drink later&ldots;
