Miranda – oh sorry
She had just fell over of the CD player. So I went to help her up.
Gary – gave me your hand
Miranda – oh thank you
Gary - it's okay hi im..
Stevie – oh Miranda what have you done now?
Miranda – I fall over the CD player
Stevie – of course!
As the girls walked away to dance...
Gary – Miranda I'm Gary
Miranda – Hi Gary
As I watch the girls dance to the music I was so happy. After thatwe became friends, good friends, best friends. I was falling in love with her but by the time I knew it was years down the line, so I couldn't just come out and tell her. So I keep it inside for years because I didn't Know if she felt the same way. But one cold January night in 2013...
Gary – the one day I was struggling and needed your help like you always do, your issues are still more important though they very really are!
Miranda – they were more important
Gary – what what was more important?
Miranda – splitting up with my boyfriend and telling you im completly and utterly head over hills in love with you. I love you.
I didn't know what to do? The words I waited so long to hear. I was in shock. I was so happy. I loved her and she loved me but the next thing I saw was ...
Miranda – Mr Gary Barlow
She kissed Him, she was kissing Gary Barlow. I was feeling so crushed. The best moment of my life messed up by Gary bloody Barlow. I Let it go, she could of been drunk or joking or something, but a few weeks later Stevie came running into the bar.
Stevie – Gary Gary
Gary – what's wrong?
Stevie – she going Wick not back. You feel now .
Gary – what?
Stevie – Miranda she's going to Wick and she's not coming back. You need to tell her how you really feel.
Gary – where is she now?
Stevie – waterloo station her train is at 9.00
Gary – okay if I run there I should get to her, Will you watch the bar.
Stevie – yes
I got my coat and run all the away to the train station luckily she was on the wrong train, so I got a chance talk her into coming back to her flat for us to talk.
Gary – its always been you Miranda no one can match up to you
Miranda - l love you
Gary – I love you too
Everything was perfect all I wanted in the world and it had finally happend. But when I go back to the bar to set up for penny's party. The Party started, it was great. everyone was having a nice time unill mike came in.
Miranda – mike are you back for good?
Mike – that depends on .. well a few weeks in Africa was enough for me to know
I watch mike go down on one knee
Mike - Miranda will you marry me? What do you say?
Gary – Well...What do you say?
Miranda – What do you say?
Mike – Miranda
I stop to think what do I say? Then the best idea I'll ever had came to me
Gary – okay
I got down on one knee
Gary – Miranda will you marry me?
Miranda – you're just saying
Penny – just say yes
Miranda – to who?
Penny – it doesn't matter
Mike – Miranda
Miranda – mike your are ... the love of my life yes yes yes
He put the ring on her finger before they kiss. everyone started to go up to them.
Penny - oh darling
Tilly – Queen Kong getting married well I did think I'll see this day.
Stevie – I'm so happy for you big one
It was like I was invisible just standing there. All the stuff that night, and today what hell was going? I'm sleeping? Is this hell? Did ever love me? Is She just a big liar? All of sudden Stevie was in front of me
Stevie – are you okay?
Gary – can I have hug?
She huged me as I started to cry I must had looked so silly, a 37 year old man in crying in a bar. After that everyone stayed to celebrate the engagement. After a while I bumped into Miranda. All I could say was
Gary – Congratulations
Miranda – thanks gary we need to
Gary – look Mike
Mike – there you are
They kiss again.
Mike – lets get a picture of you two
Miranda – yeah
Gary - okay
Mike – great now say cheese after 3 , 1 2 3
Gary and Miranda – cheese.
After that, they went into a sea of people to dance and have fun. But I just stood at the side getting drunk. Soon the party died down and before I knew it was me and my boss James we were clearing up after the party and he was holding a box , he told me
James – just taking this in the back
Gary – okay mate
I bent down to pick up a bottle as I got up I fell into the jukebox in my drunken state. Then the jukebox stated to play Peter Andre's Mysterious Girl like the night I met Miranda. Suddenly I had a flashback of a 18 year old Miranda singing along to the song drunk at the house party.
Peter André and Miranda (singing) - Oh oh oh, mysterious girl I wanna get close to you Oh oh oh, mysterious girl Move your body close to mine, close to mine.
It made me cry. then it made me angry and full of rage and then I started smashing up the bar.
Peter andre -Oh oh oh, mysterious girl I wanna get close to you
Oh oh oh, mysterious girl Move your body close to mine, close to mine
James – what the hell man! What have you done. Why?
Gary – I don't know
James – you don't know is that all you got to say?
Without thinking due to being so drunk.
Gary – Yep
James – give me one reason why I shouldn't fire you?
Again with out thinking I punched him in the face.
James – get out
I Walked out but I didn't go home I just walked round and round. I thought why am I here in London? She doesn't love me ? She engaged to another guy? So I came up with a plan to leave
The next day I went to the train station and got the train back home to Wales. I sent Miranda text saying
"im going away bye"
Like she cared
