Here and Now
Chap 4
"Hi, We're standing outside the arena where
in under an hour, the 2004 Annual Bliss Bash will commence."
Said one reporter.
"We're expecting performances from
Hear'say, Westlife and the eagerly awaited reunion of Boyzone, plus a
number of other acts and speaking of Westlife, I believe Westlife are
just arriving now "
I grabbed Eilidh's hand, and said in a quiet
voice. "Don't be nervous "
"How can I not be? All these fans, and the
media!" Eilidh says.
"Just be calm, and keep holding my hand,
all will be fine "
"Nicky, Nicky," said the reporter.
Eilidh and I walked over.
"Hi," I said, smiling.
"So is it true about those rumours that you
and Georgina Aherne are making up?" the reporter says with a smile.
"Absolutely Not, I don't wish to talk about
her now ." And with that, I walked off
"Nicky, Over here!" called Cat Deeley.
"Cat, hello!" I said, looking pleased
to see a familiar face.
"Nicky, can I say you look stunning
tonight? Do ya think you'll be winning any awards tonight?"
"Well, I don't want to tempt fate, ya know.
With these awards show, you don't really know who's up for what
award, until they read the nominee's for the awards so I really can't
answer that question."
"I see, well, uh oh, here's trouble. It's
Bryan and Kerry!" Cat said, giggling.
"Cat, you look very gorgeous tonight,"
Bryan said.
"Well, you do too, in fact westlife boyz
and their partners do!" Cat says with a smile. "Actually
I've not seen Kian! Where's he?"
"Cat, sorry we're late, my 'friend' seemed
to have a last-phone call from NZ about his band " Kian said,
introducing his friend as a Mr Andy Lynch.
I saw Eilidh's face when she saw who he was
"Eilidh, do you know this guy?" I
said, walking with her inside.
"Kinda, he's part of this Kiwi band
Zed!" Eilidh said, with a smile.
"Okay, the nominees for best dressed male
are David Beckham, Ronan Keating, Shane Filan, and Nicky Byrne."
Samantha Mumba said.
"Woah, oh my god!" I said, realising I
was nominated for best dressed male.
"Nix, neither of us can win, we're up with
David and Ro! How can we compete with them!" Shane said, whispered.
"And the winner of the best dressed male is
he's Irish, he's sexy and he's Nicky Byrne." Samantha revealed.
"Nicky, I'm so proud of you babe."
Eilidh said, before kissing Nicky.
I walked up to the stage, and accepted my award.
"Well, what can I say, but fair play to
Shane, Ro and David. I didn't think I could win this, but it seems I
did in the end. I'll like to thank my family, the rest of the
westlife, my management, Anto, Paul and Fran, and most of all,
Eilidh, for being my love, and my inspiration some days! Love ya
babe!" I said.
I got back to the table.
"Shane, what were ya saying?" I said, smirking.
"Ah, nothing, but you should have seen the
look of Victoria's face when your name was called out classic!"
Shane said.
Anto came to the table, and said that we were 2
acts away! So I kissed Eilidh goodbye, and went with the other lads,
backstage. I felt kind of sad, leaving Eilidh there by herself, but I
knew Kerry would keep an eye on her
