I Got You Babe
Westlife had finished yet another sell-out concert, and this is their last concert at Wembley before heading home for their Ireland-leg of their tour! Most of the lads wanted to go to bed, but Shane and Nicky were still full of energy, so they headed out in search of a bar for a little "ShNicky".
They finally found one which had Karaoke, so they went in and ordered a Guinness each and found a table in a dark corner..
So after a few pints of Guinness each, Shane thought that they would do some Karaoke, Nicky was game for it!
As they looked over the songlist, Nicky, said for a laugh, "why don’t we do, I got you babe by Sonny and Cher"
Shane said, "why not, I love that song, and its exactly how I feel at the moment"
"Shane, what are you saying?" asked Nicky, thinking ‘was Shane confessing that he’s in love with me?’
"God, Nix, ever since you were picked for the band, I’ve always had this thing for you, I couldn’t really explain it in the beginning, as I had never felt anything like these feelings before. But now since we got to know each other and we hang out mostly together, and I would have to say that you’re the only one in the band, that I feel really close to."
"Shane, I cant believe this, why didn’t you tell me before?" replied Nicky as he moved closer to Shane.
"God, Nicky, cant you guess? I was scared that I’d be kicked out of the band if Louis found out that I was gay and attracted to another member in the band. I mean, I was so envious of you and Georgina! Just seeing you two kissing and stuff, made me jealous.. that’s why I don’t go out with you two. That last time, you and Georgina invited me out for a drink, I lied to ya, I said that I was a bit tired, but when you left, I spent that night alone, just thinking about you and how I wished that I was going out with ya, not her!!" said Shane, who started crying.
"Shay, oh my god..I don’t know what to say, I’m totally speechless!" replied Nicky, reeling from Shane’s shocking confession!
Nicky handed Shane his handkerchief and Shane wiped his eyes.
It was their turn for Karaoke.. Nicky got up, and pulled up Shane and put his hand in Shane’s , and they went up on stage and started singing "I got you babe"
".. And I got you babe." The crowd went wild, and clapped really loud for them.. Nicky and Shane went back to their table in the corner, and ordered another Guinness, and sat really close to each other, staring at each other.
"Nicky, what I said before, I mean every word. I just can’t get you out of my mind.. I can’t sleep at night, as my dreams are always about you.. I mean the dreams are all different, but the main theme is still you" replied Shane, as he puts his arm around Nicky.
"Shay, I think we better go back to the hotel, there’s a spare bed in my room, if ya don’t wanna be all alone tonight.."said Nicky, as he finished his pint.
" Thanks Nix, I couldn’t stand being alone tonight." Said Shane as he stood up and put back on his jacket.
"me either, lets go!" replied Nicky, standing up and putting his coat on.
Shane and Nicky left the Pub hand in hand, and went back to the hotel.
They got into the lift and they were halfway up when the lift suddenly stopped, between floors.
Nicky started to panic.
"Nicky, look its okay, I’m sure its nothing major" Shane said as he tried to get help, but there was no answer.
Nicky started to shake with fear. Trust him to get stuck in a lift tonight, of all nights.
"Shane, I am so scared, you know I have a phobia of lifts. I often dreamt that I would one day get stuck in one, but usually I’d be all alone." Nicky said, still shaking.
"Nicky, here, take my coat, it’ll help you to keep warm, and hopefully make ya stop shaking. I’m gonna ring the hotel to explain what’s happened.
Shane finally got through, and told them what happened and that there was him and another person stuck in a lift halfway between floors 4 & 5!
The nice lady on reception said that there was help coming and they would be rescued soon.
But as the hours passed, there was still no sign of any rescue, Nicky was sitting on the floor, Shane was sitting as well, holding Nicky close, to keep him warm.
"Shane, I don’t think I could ever thank you for tonight."replied Nicky, feeling safe in Shane’s arms.
"Nix, there’s no need to thank me, I mean, I would have done it for anyone!" replied Shane.
Suddenly there was movement in the lift and the lift ascended to the 7th floor, where 3 very frightened, and worried other members of Westlife stood.
"God, you guys are okay, we were all worried about you two.." said Kian.
"Thanks guys, I think we both need a shower and then a good sleep after this."said Shane, looking at Nicky with a smile.
Just then a door opened, "Nicky, omg, you’re okay, when Bryan rang to say that you were stuck in a lift, I just had to be here." said Georgina.
Shane, quietly went into his room, and broke down in tears.. he knew he had come so close with Nicky that night, but SHE had to ruin it, by turning up.
DAMN Bryan, what were ya thinking?
Nicky told Georgina, that he’d rather be by himself tonight, and that she should go!
After Georgina had sulked off out of the hotel, Nicky knew that there was only one person he’d want to be with tonight, and that was Shane.
Nicky closed his door, and went across the hall and knocked on Shane’s door.
Shane opened it, and Nicky walked in and quickly shut the door, and without any warning, Nicky grabbed Shane and gave him the biggest kiss ever and then they got into the separate bed and fell asleep.
..who knows what happened during the night, but when they both awoke in the morning, they were both on the floor, between the beds, under one cover..
*****The End*****
