I've always been the kind of girl to swoon over musicians especially bassists. It was something about using their hands to play their instruments. No help needed. They worked well with their hands. What girl wouldn't want a guy with strong hands?
As I got older, I decided my objective in life was to be a groupie. I wanted every bassist I could get my hands on. Of course my parents objected to my life style. It wasn't proper for a young lady such as myself to sleep with random rock stars. I didn't care. It's my life; I can choose to do whatever I please.
My first victim ended up being my last. The bassist of choice was Dougie Poynter of McFly. At the time that I met Dougie, McFly was just becoming big. It was an easy conquest. He was a boy and any girl that wanted him he would take. He was seventeen then.
He was the first to hear of my plan beside my parents. He thought I was crazy. He wanted to see how far my quest would take me so we kept in touch becoming close friends. Becoming friends with him put a road block in my path. Rumors spread that Dougie and I were an item, stopping any future prospects from being conquered. Nevertheless I didn't give up my friendship with Dougie.
I tried hard to get other bassists but none would comply. I was too young or the groupie thing was over with. No one wanted anything to do with me. Except Dougie.
A year later, I was still trying hard to get my fantasy to be a reality. That was until one day Dougie confessed something to me.
"Andrea, where do you think this bassist thing is going to take you?" Dougie asked as we sat on the McFly couch in the living room. My head was in his lap. He ran his fingers through my hair.
"I don't know. Its fun, I guess. Why do you ask?" I sat up and sat Indian style facing him.
"Andrea, you haven't tried to pull any guys in over three months. You don't care about the conquest anymore. All you care about is me. You love me…"
I cut him off before saying another word. "What? I do not. It's the complete opposite. I loathe you!" Dougie's assumption frustrated me so much that I got up and put my shoes on to leave. "I can't believe you would say such a thing. I hate you!" I shouted as I walked out the door.
Dougie chased behind me shouting at me. "You love me! And I love you! You don't see it now, but you will."
Sadly, Dougie was right. I realized it as I sat home one Saturday night wishing I was with him. I did love him and he did love me. That's how I ended up here in a white dress saying the words I thought I would never say, 'I do.'
As I look into Dougie's eyes, I know he's the one I want to be with for my entire life. He meant the world to me. What makes me fall in love with him even more is the fact that he stood by my side as I wanted to fool around. He loved me and I truly loved him and to think it all started as a game.
