Subject: what i want is what i've got- a love story of margarette byrne



"This is such fun!" I said to my best friend Gretchen .
" Who are you writing that one to?" she asked me.
"Oh, Nicky Byrne from Westlife!"
"Ooh, good choice, I'm writing this one to Keanu Reeves "
I laughed, "Like you've got a chance with Keanu Reeves ."
1 looked up at me with a raised eyebrow. "Oh sorry, Margarette cuz you have got such a chance with Nicky Byrne "
I laughed again, "Good point!"
It was a Monday afternoon and my best friend and I had decided to have a muck about. It was two weeks away from our Prom and neither of us had a date - purely by choice of course! So we decided, well actually it was Gretchen 's idea, to write invitations to celebrities. Both of us knew that we would be lucky if it even reached them in time! Also, even if they got to read them - they just think that we were two obsessed weirdoes! But anyway it was fun doing it!
"Imagine if all the stars I've sent the invitation to turned up!" Gretchen giggled.
I stared at her smiling, "Hmm, in your dreams. We're still gonna have to go on our own."
"That's okay, I mean it's better than going with someone like Billy Uy , he is so immature!" Holly remarked.
I nodded, "I know what you mean. We're like 13 now and they are still acting about 9 years old. It's depressing!"
"I know! But there's nothing we can do about it."

2 weeks later...
It was 6pm and I was just about ready. I was pleased with myself, as the Prom wasn't until another hour. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I had done myself proud. I had a long black dress on which showed all of my curves perfectly. I looked nice, if I may say so myself!
"You look fantastic." A voice said from the door. I turned around it was my Mum.
"Thanks. I don't look too bad do I?"
"Hmm, now I don't see why you don't have a date," Mum said, " I'm sure you could get anyone."
I groaned. "Mum I told you I didn't want a date, there's no one decent!"
"Ok, Ok."
There was a knock at the door downstairs. Nobody answered; there was another knock. I yelled to my sister , who it was bound to be for. It was too early for Gretchen .
The next minute my sister was at the top of the stairs, "Oh my God, Margarette , there's a guy for you. Oh, I can't think of his name. Um, he's in that band that you love!"
I couldn't understand what he was on about. But before I could say anything my sister grabbed my hand and took me to the front door.
When I saw who was there I had the shock of a lifetime. It was Nicky Byrne from Westlife. I stood speechless, then suddenly realised that I should say something but nothing came out. Nicky Byrne looked at me and laughed, "What you didn't think I'd accept your invitation?"
I struggled to find words, "Well no, um, it was just a laugh."
"Oh, I'd better go then," he pretended to walk away.
I had to laugh, I felt more at ease now, "Don't be stupid. Come in, um, I have to wait for my friend Gretchen . We going to go together, oh"
"What?" Nicky Byrne asked.
"I've just thought, Gretchen won't have a date now!"

Nicky Byrne winked, "Ah, that's where I come into it." He let me see past him to reveal a limousine on the driveway. "I have brought my four friends with me. Your friend can have who ever she wants. Well except me because I'm all yours tonight."
Once again I was speechless. Westlife were coming to my Prom and the most handsome guy I could ever dream of had just told me that he was all mine. I was in heaven. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake.
"Oh, and I thought I should just mention that you look fantastic. It was well worth coming here." Nicky Byrne whispered in my ear. I shivered with excitement, Now I was floating above heaven.
Suddenly I realised that we were still stood on the doorstep even though I had said to come in earlier. "Hey don't just stand there, come in and sit down."
"Ok, sure." He looked back to the limousine." Is it ok if the other guys come in as well?"
I couldn't believe my luck! "Sure" I managed to squeak.
Nicky Byrne ran to the car and before I knew it I was being given a kiss on the cheek by all of Westlife. Floating on air, I managed to lead them into the living room. I suddenly realised I didn't have any shoes on so excused myself and ran upstairs. My Mum was waiting for me. "Oh my God, Margarette ," she said, " How did you get them here?"
I explained quickly, while she gasped with pleasure. " Didn't I tell you, love, that you could get anyone."
"I guess. But I'm pretty sure that they're just doing this cuz they're bored or something." I said, knowing deep inside that they hadn't come for me but probably just for a night out.
My Mum looked into my eyes, "Don't be so down on yourself. Grab your shoes and get downstairs, girl, you've got Westlife waiting for you in the living room."
I gave her a quick hug, took a quick look in the mirror and hurried downstairs.
"Sorry I was so long." I apologised. "No need" Shane Filan said, " If you turn out looking as gorgeous as you do, you can take as long as you like!"
I blushed it wasn't just Nicky Byrne who was paying me compliments.
"Now look what you've done know Shane Filan ," Nicky Byrne said pretending to be serious, "You've made her blush."
I laughed; the guys were really easy to get on with. There was a knock at the door. I looked at the guys, " That must be Gretchen . Wait there."
I opened the door to see Gretchen looking at the limousine.
"It's nice isn't it!" I said.
"Nice! It's brilliant, I thought we weren't going in any fancy transport." Gretchen yelped in excitement.
I laughed. "Well, it was kind of a last minute thing."
"What do you mean?"
Excitedly, I filled her in on the last half an hour.
"Oh my God, you're kidding me!" Gretchen screamed.
Hey Margarette are you gonna bring her in here?" A sexy Irish voice shouted from the living room.
"I'm certainly not kidding, come in and see!"

As we walked in. Gretchen screamed "I can't believe it! It's really you!"
The guys looked a little taken aback, "Uh, yeah," Nicky Byrne laughed.
I laughed too, Gretchen could sometimes be over the top. "Sure it is and you can take your pick for who ever you want to be your date."
Gretchen looked at me gobsmacked," Oh wow. Now you've got to be kidding me!"
" Gretchen , will you stop saying that! Now who's it gonna be"
Gretchen scanned the room, "Well it would have to be Shane Filan ."
10 smiled, "It will be a pleasure! What time do we have to go?"
I looked at the clock, "Now actually! Let's go everybody"
Nicky Byrne laughed, "Yes Mam."

15 minutes later...

As soon as we all got out of the limousine I could hear everyone gasp. I was glad to see some of the school bitches standing close by. They had teased Gretchen and I about not having dates. Now who was laughing? Nicky Byrne grabbed my arm and led me to the front doors of the Hall. He paid for each of our tickets and then took me inside. I looked behind to see the rest of them follow.
Gretchen pointed to a table, "Grab that table, there's no one on it."
We all sat down around the round table. Nicky Byrne held my hand under the table and kept smiling at me. I still couldn't believe that I was actually with him! We all had a meal over which I asked Nicky Byrne a few questions.
"So how come you decided to come here tonight?" I asked curiously, "I mean it's not exactly your usual hang out and you must get hundreds of letters from girls who want you to meet them or go out with them."
Nicky Byrne laughed, "Actually that's true! Freaky isn't it. Anyway I was in Quezon City and I got your invitation. I don't know what it was about it but it just appealed to me. I mentioned it to the guys and they thought it would be fun. So here we are."
"Wow," I said, "When I sent that off never in a million years did I think that it would even reach you let alone you reading it!"
"Actually that was another weird thing - usually the fan club just sends letters on to my home in Ireland and I read them when I'm at home. But your invitation was sent directly to me in Quezon City . I hadn't even thought about that until now!"
"Anyway I'm not complaining. Are you having a good time?" I asked.
Nicky Byrne gazed into my eyes, sending shivers down my spine, "Definitely, especially with company like yours."
I could feel myself going red. "Do you want to dance? This is my favourite song."
He grinned and stood up, "Mine too. It's amazing how much we have in common!"
I smiled shyly and let him lead me on to the dance floor. On the other side I could see Gretchen and Shane Filan dancing and the other guys chatting to some girls.
I pointed them out to Nicky Byrne . "They don't take long do they!"
"I think they're kinda jealous of me," Nicky Byrne told me.
I frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I mean that they want to find someone who is as special as the person I've found."
I could fell my heart beating really fast. The comments from Nicky Byrne weren't just passing ones. He was turning the conversation around all the time to me and paying me compliments anytime he could. Suddenly I saw what I was doing to myself; I was trying to make something bigger out of what it really was. Nicky Byrne couldn't have feelings for me; we'd only just met! It was just his Irish charm!
We pushed into the busy dance floor and began to dance to the loud music. He was a great dancer and I told him so. He leant over to me. "You're a great dancer too Margarette ," he whispered in my ear. My heart was going wild; he had been so close to me that his face brushed mine. I felt really light-headed and had to tell myself to calm down. Nicky Byrne then to my surprise pulled me in close and began swaying slowly. I couldn't believe how forward he was until I realised that everyone was dancing that way and that the music had changed to a slow love song. To top it off it was, "Flying without Wings". I realised that he was going to have to get a grip and stop fantasising. Nicky Byrne was just being friendly! After a few songs, I pulled him off the dance floor to sit down and have a drink. I had finally calmed down but was thirsty after all the dancing.
Nicky Byrne grinned, "I am having a really great time. How bout you?"
I nodded whilst drinking the cool wine that I had left earlier on the bar. I finished the glass and put it back on the side. "Yeah, it's much better than I expected. But then I didn't expect my date to be you."
Nicky Byrne laughed, "You are glad I'm your date though?"
It was my turn to laugh, "Of course. It would have been so dull without you!"
I looked around the Hall for Gretchen but couldn't see her. I smiled to myself she must be having a good time with Shane Filan .
"Come on Nicky Byrne , lets have another dance." I said. I grabbed his arm but he wouldn't come.
"Um, Margarette , can we just sit for a while." He motioned over to our seats.
"Yeah sure. I think I need a little break anyway."
We sat down and there was silence for a while. I felt a bit uncomfortable as Nicky Byrne had suddenly gone really quiet. He turned around and to my relief started to talk, "Um, I just wanted to say, uh, well, um, I've had a, um, a really, uh, good time and I, um, uh, well . . . "
I was beginning to get a little frustrated but before I could do or say anything, Nicky Byrne leant over to me. He cupped my chin with his hand and pulled me in for a sweet, gentle kiss.
I couldn't believe what was happening, I mean Nicky Byrne , a famous pop star and me. This was what I dreamt nearly every night. But I never thought it would come true.
" Margarette , you're a really special person and the minute I saw you I knew that."
I nodded, "I felt that with you to Nicky Byrne ."
He smiled and bent over me for another kiss. This one lasted longer like we never wanted it to end.
This was pretty much what we did for the next hour making every minute count that we had together. Before I knew the end of the night came. I gave Nicky Byrne a quick kiss and a hug; "Well I guess this is it. Maybe I'll see you around." I began to walk away, I was sad but knew that I had had a fantastic night and that it was good while it lasted. Just as I was about to leave I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Nicky Byrne .
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm going home," I replied laughing, "What does it look like?"
"Well don't you want my number or want to know where I'm gonna be?"
I frowned, "Why? It's not like we're gonna see each other again. You live in Ireland, you're a famous pop star and you travel all over the world. You couldn't be any further away if you tried."
Nicky Byrne chuckled, " Margarette , that doesn't mean I can't find time to see you or that you can't come and visit me. I thought we had something special" He frowned, "You weren't just leading me on were you?"
I realised that he was serious, "No, not at all. I really like you. I just thought you know, it was just like a fling for you. I mean you can't really be that interested in me, you've got hundreds of girls, famous ones as well, who would love to go out with you. I guess I just don't believe that you could really like me and . ."
I suddenly shut up I realised I was babbling and that Nicky Byrne was now smiling.
"What?" I said.
"You look so cute when you're confused," he said," But seriously you're being silly. You're a fantastic girl and of course I really like you. Here, this is my mobile number. I know your number cuz you wrote it on the invitation."
I stared at the number. I couldn't believe this was happening.
Nicky Byrne began to talk again, "And I want to give you this." He stepped closer to be and planted a big kiss on my lips. "Now I'll phone you tomorrow ok?"
I nodded speechless.
Nicky Byrne laughed again. "It's turned out to be a night we both didn't expect, hasn't it?"
I looked into his eyes, "You can say that again."
"Goodbye, Margarette . I'll speak to you soon."
"Bye Nicky Byrne ."
With that he walked away to where the other guys were waiting. The others waved to me and then left with Nicky Byrne .
"Are you alright." A familiar voice said behind me. I turned round to see Gretchen .
"Yeah. I had a great night! How about you?"
"Amazing!" Gretchen said.
"Did you and Shane Filan get on well?" I asked her.
She laughed, "Yeah, but there was no great romance like I hoped. You and Nicky Byrne looked like you were getting on well."
"Yeah. Look." I showed her the piece of paper with his number on.
"Oh my God, he gave you his mobile number. Wow Margarette what went on with you two." Gretchen said astounded.
I quickly described what happened.
"Wow. You're so lucky!" Gretchen said a little jealously, "Do you really like him?"
I looked at her like she was stupid, "Are you kidding me. I love him!" I stopped to think what I just said, half not believing but I knew it was true, " I love him . . . ."
