A image can cover so much pain (oasis/Liam Gallagher)

Afterwards

Liam chose a seat near the back of the bar and waited for someone to come over, about ten minutes later a young guy walked over "what can I get you sir?" "Em.. a pint and jack and coke make it a double" the guy wrote it down Liam was confused his order wasn't that hard to remember, though it was probably for the bill but still he could surely do it at the bar Liam didn't know why he was bothered by a small stupid thing like this but maybe it was him being so annoyed with Noel. The guy brought the drinks, Liam drank the jack and coke in one go, said thanks and tipped him. He sat people watching, keeping a extra eye out for Kelly. He called the waiter over again "yes sir what can I get you?" "Another pint, a bottle of wine, white. Another jack and coke please I may as well get a few things, save you coming back and forth" he laughed "ok sir and thank you but don't worry it's my job" he smiled and headed off. He looked around and there was Kelly at another table, he watched her for a bit waiting for her to come close enough for him to call her over. About 20 minutes later she came past "hey you, any chance of a drink?" She turned around "oh hi you ok? Noel gone? Oh sorry what can I get you?" "I'm cool, yep he's gone home to be boring" hey laughed "you can get me a pint please" "coming up" she headed off to the bar and returned quite quickly "there you go" "so sweetheart when's ya break?" She smiled "why do you want to know?" "Well I was going to buy you a drink" she looked at him he couldn't work out if it was a good look or a bad look "maybe I'll come over when I finish if your still about" she smiled and walked away. Liam decided to stay to see if she did come over. After a few hours Kelly came over and sat down opposite him, she'd got changed into a black skirt, white strappy top and pink shirt with only the bottom buttons done up and you could see her pink bra under her top. "Hey alright if I join you?" Liam smiled "feel free, what would you like to drink?" "Glass of white wine please" Liam called the waiter over and ordered two bottles of white wine. "You trying to get me drunk" she laughed "Nah just getting bottles means I don't have to keep calling someone over for another glass" the wine came in a ice bucket which was good, wine always tasted better cold. They sat for a few hours chatting, Liam moved in closer and put his arm around her shoulders, she gave him a cute smile so he took that as a good sign, slowly he kept seeing how close he could get before he got a slap, he put his hand on her leg but when he tried to move it up she put her hand on top of his giggled and moved it "sorry" "no it's ok I'm just a bit nervous you know my work mates are around and if they see me getting too friendly with you they might think I'm a slut or something, That I just wanna sleep with famous people and that's why I'm working here" Liam understood what she meant, that she didn't want to get a reputation. "It's ok darling would u prefer I get a room and we continue our drinking there?" She looked around "em... might be a good idea my work mates keep looking at us" "ok tell ya what I'll book a room, order some drinks up to it, you tell ya mates ya going home then get my room number from the bar and head up" "ok" Liam laughed to himself it was normally him sneaking around. Liam went to the desk "decided to stay another night, can't be bothered to go home can I get a room?" The guy at the desk looked at him "credit card please" bit rude he thought as he handed it over "ok mr Gallagher room 302 third floor" and handed Liam some keys. Liam went to the bar "can I open a tab for room 302, under mr Gallagher?" "Yes sure" the guy wrote things down "can I get something sent up now?" "Yes please two bottles of wine, white, bottle of jack and some coke please" will do that now. Kelly walked up to the guy "hey Chris I'm off home now see you tomorrow" she read Liam's room number over Chris's shoulder "see ya Kelly" she disappeared with her coat. Liam got the lift up to his room, he went in threw his jacket on the chair and sat down he'd only been there five minutes when there was a knock at the door he opened it to find a guy with his drinks he thanked him, tipped him and shut the door he set the drinks out and waited. About ten minutes later came another knock on the door, Liam answered and there was Kelly "come in darling" she came in dropped her coat on top of his and sat on the other chair, Liam passed her a glass of wine and smiled, she looked quite nervous he hoped the drink would relax her. After a few drinks she seemed fine and they were have a good laugh "you look uncomfortable in that chair how about I stick a film on and we can sit on the bed and watch it?" "Em ok why not, tho I'm not sure if there is anything good on" "sure we'll find something" they sat down and Liam started flicking through the channels, it took a while to find something but eventually he came across top gun so stuck that on to be honest he wasn't interested in watching the movie but he had to at least be nice enough to not just jump straight in. "Want a jack and coke?" She nodded Liam got up pored the drinks, dropped some ice cubes in and passed her the glass. He sat back down and put his arm around her shoulders, she rested her head on him. They stayed there in silence for a bit watching the film. Liam reached for his drink and as he turned back he kissed her, she didn't argue, things started to get interesting, hands started to wonder. Suddenly she stopped him. He sat back "sorry did I do something wrong?" "No I'm sorry I just got a bit nervous" "oh it's ok I'll stop" she looked up at him "no Liam I'm sorry I just began to think you know how you'll just go once your done and I'll be another number but how me coming to a room with you probably made you think the whole thing was just gonna be that" Liam wasn't sure what to say as at the end of the day he was coming on to her to sleep with her, he would have stayed till morning and had breakfast he wasn't horrible enough to run off straight away but he wasn't interested in a relationship but he'd be cool with staying friendly. He decided to be truthful well slightly truthful "I can't say I didn't have sex on my mind, but I don't assign numbers or leave straight after I always get breakfast" "your not looking for a relationship?" "No I'm not but I do like friends" he smiled hoping that she wasn't about to walk out "ok thanks for the honesty, I'm gonna stay if that's ok" "if you want to stay that's cool wanna watch another film?" She smiled, lent over and kissed him, laughed and lay down pulling Liam with her. He unbuttoned the couple of buttons on her shirt and threw it to the side she had a beautiful butterfly tattoo at the top of her arm "that's pretty is it your only one?" "My best friend designed it for me, it's the only one I have" he kissed it and worked his way up to her neck while using his hand to push the back of her top off, she took the hint, pulled it off then pulled his tshirt off. He undid her bra as she started on his pants, the crazy thing was Liam felt this was different to the usual, they didn't jump straight into the main event but they had fun, playing around then they moved on, Kelly was up for most things and they didn't stay on the bed for long, eventually they did crawl into bed. They curled up together and fell asleep. Next morning Kelly woke up to find Liam making coffee "morning you" she smiled "morning" he passed the coffee over "so I guess you'll be leaving after the coffee?" "No I don't think I will. You working today? If not maybe we could hang out for a bit?" She looked shocked "em I'm doing the late shift I start at seven, we can hang out if you want" he smiled at her and sat down with his coffee. Liam was scared, he liked her more than just a girl he slept with, he wanted to see her again, get to know her it was a strange feeling. "So why do you want to stay? I thought you said you left after breakfast" "I'm not sure I kinda wanna get to know you" Kelly didn't know what to say to that I mean Liam wasn't just some normal guy, he was famous and he's saying he wanted to spend time with her a waitress in a hotel. They had breakfast and lay in bed talking, Liam asked about her life, told her about his. They were both raised on council estate's, in working class families, both had shit dad's and had brothers. She got her job to get out of her situation and help her mam, same as Liam doing the band to escape. The only big difference was the city they lived in. As it got late she started to get ready for work "I can wait here till you finish if you like" she looked at him sitting there, shirtless in the bed, he looked beautiful, sexy and just so attractive and he was asking to spend more time with her, it was like a dream. "Ok but only if you want to please don't feel you have to" Liam smiled "I want too, if I didn't I would leave. So yes I really do want to stay" "ok I'll see you later, I'll bring some drinks" she tied up her hair and left. Liam sat there thinking about her, she was beautiful, treated him as a normal person, kind and good in bed he laughed to himself. He remembered how that Alicia had called him a couple of times and was pretty but she seemed to like playing with him, had a bit of a attitude and treated him like a famous person and was actually a bit annoying plus he didn't feel anything for her not the way he was feeling about Kelly not that he understood the feelings he was feeling. He got up to make another coffee, then called room service for a full English breakfast. Then he realised he should call Dave to tell him where he was so he didn't panic. "Hello" "hi Dave it's Liam just thought i better call to tell you where I was and that I'm ok" "good job you did I was starting to worry especially after I spoke to Noel who said I don't know where that dickhead is, we had a fight and I left him to do whatever the fuck he wants" "well he did fuck off and leave me" "so you're ok? Where are you?" "I'm great and I'm at the cross keys hotel" "what you still there for?" "Oh I'm just spending some time with a friend you know chilling out since I'm off for a few days" "ok just don't miss the interview and show in 4 days, I'll come pick you up if you want just tell me where you are" "ok I'll call you the night before so see ya then" "ok see ya then" Liam hung up and smiled, maybe he'd stay here for next few days. He spent the rest of the day watching tv, ordering room service and had a couple of drinks. At about eleven thirty there was a knock on the door he got up and opened it Kelly came in "you should have just got a spear key" he laughed "didn't wanna be rude by just walking in" "I wouldn't have minded" she put her coat on the chair, the drinks on the table and sat down. "So what we watching?" "Whatever shit is on" he laughed he flicked through the channels and settled on the dukes of hazard. They lay there watching it for a bit then Kelly spoke "Liam what are we doing? Is this a silly few days thing?" "Look Kelly I like you, I want to spend time with you, when I leave I'm giving you my number and address. Then you can ring me, come over and stuff" Kelly smiled "that sounds nice I'd love that" she kissed him and cuddled in. Liam was just sitting watching tv when he felt her hand finding it's way into his pants he looked at her and pulled her in close and started to undo her shirt then there was a knock on the door, they both jumped. "Oh god that could be someone I work wit, did you order room service? God don't let them in, I'll hide" she went into the bathroom and shut the door. Liam walked over to answer the door "hi mr Gallagher the manager asked me to bring you a complimentary bottle of champagne" "oh thank you" he said as he took it "i can bring it in for you" "no it's fine I can get it" he took the ice bucket containing the bottle and shut the door. "It's safe to come out now" Kelly came out laughing "god I feel like a teenager" the both laughed and jumped back on the bed. Liam unzipped her skirt pulled it off and threw it on the floor with her shirt "I'll have to iron them now" she giggled "well if you want I'll go fold em up then" "no don't stop" they kissed each other, she lay down on the bed, pulled Liam on top of her. After they lay down cuddled up. Liam was thinking how the sex seemed better when feelings were involved. It came to the day he had to leave, he woke Kelly up she opened her eyes he kissed her "morning you" "morning" "I've gotta go today I've got a interview and show. My friend is picking me up" "oh right" he passed her a coffee. "Hey do you want to come to the show?" Kelly wasn't sure what to say, the whole oasis thing hadn't came up over the past few days. "Em..ok" "cool I'll put you on the guest list" Liam phoned Dave to say where he was and Dave said he'd be there in about two hours. "Well we've got two hours till my friend arrives so what shall we do for those two hours?" He gave her a mischievous smile. She walked over to him "I'm sure we can think of something" she kissed him and pulled him over to the bed. When the time came Liam kissed her and grabbed his jacket. He got in the lift smiling, he was so happy. He bounced out of the lift and headed to the car park, jumped in the car "hey Dave how ya doing?" "I'm fine you?" "I'm amazing" Dave looked at him he was smiling looking so happy he wondered how staying at a hotel for a few days could make Liam seem so happy, maybe Liam was on one of his upswings, which usually meant a crash would come soon but then again he might be genuinely happy Dave could never tell it was always just a waiting game to see what happened. "Dave I need to put someone on the guest list for tonight, maybe even if we've got time we could pick them up?" "Ok well you'll have to give me their name for the list and as for picking them up that depends on time I can't say for definite" "ok her name is Kelly Danials" "I'm guessing that's the friend you've been with" more a statement than question "yes, yes it is" "I'll put her on the list but Liam be careful ok" Dave always worried about the people Liam became friends with, he worried they were only his friends because of his money and fame, he dealt with the one night stands but worried if Liam became attached to them, Liam was still young and due to his mental state didn't always think clearly. They arrived at the venue and went up to the dressing room the rest of the band were already there Liam sat down and grabbed a drink "where's the interviewer?" Noel looked up "stuck in traffic better not be too long we've got to sound check" Liam looked at him "sure it will be ok if you have to sound check I can handle the interview" Noel thought about it then said "ok cool" they then all sat in silence, eventually the interviewer arrived "sorry I'm late traffic was awful" the guy sat down and got out his tape recorder, about half way through Noel announced that they needed to sound check but would leave Liam to finish the interview. Liam joined them for sound check about twenty minutes later everything was pretty much set up so he wondered over to the mic and they ran through a couple of songs then headed back to the dressing room. While the support band were on Liam nipped down to the side of the stage to have a look for Kelly but obviously had to make sure he stayed hidden. He looked around but it was hard to see as the main house lights were off and the only light was from the stage lights. Suddenly Dave tapped his shoulder "your friend is here do you want me to bring her backstage?" Liam smiled "yep that be great" he walked into the corridor to wait straightened his shirt and made sure his hair was ok. Dave walked up "there he is sweetheart, have fun" Dave headed off. "Hi I'm glad you came" she smiled at him "I wouldn't miss it for the world" she walked up and kissed him, he took her hand and headed to the dressing room. The only person there was bonehead he looked up "oh hi" "hi" Liam suddenly realised he should introduce her "bonehead this is Kelly, Kelly this is bonehead" bonehead stood up took her hand "nice to meet you, what you doing with this idiot" he laughed "nice to meet you he asked me to come along we're friends" bonehead looked at Liam he knew by the way he looked at her and held her hand that Liam liked her more than a friend, that it was different to how he felt about other girls. He was worried and happy for him. Noel came in to say it was time to go on stage he looked at Liam who was sitting with Kelly on his knee "what the fuck you doing? Who's this? Get your arse ready to go on stage" "I'm sitting talking to my friend, her name's Kelly and i am fucking ready" Noel walked out Liam stood up and took Kelly to the side of the stage, the rest of the band went on stage and started to play the intro to Columbia. Liam walked on the stage and stood staring at the crowd. He turned his head and looked at Kelly she was smiling. He began singing. Kelly stood watching Liam do his thing, he looked so confident, so beautiful, he had the entire crowd in his hands. Every now and again he'd look over at her and smile, she couldn't stop watching him. She realised that this star had spent the last few days in bed with her he could have anyone and he'd been with her. Suddenly she heard her name "this is dedicated to Kelly. Slide away" before she processed it Liam was singing. After the last song the band came off stage Noel walked straight past, giugsy smiled and said hi, tony said hi and Liam bounced over "you enjoy it? Hope you didn't mind the song? The crowd were fucking mad for it, we were fucking top" "I loved it, no I didn't mind the song. Your brother doesn't seem happy though" "ah that's just Noel he's a dick, never fucking happy" Dave came over "Liam you need to go home tonight, have a rest tomorrow cos your flying to Glasgow day after, then to Ireland so it's gonna be non stop for a few days" Liam looked at him, he could tell Dave was serious "ok give me a chance to get sorted" Dave went off to sort out transport leaving Liam and Kelly in the corridor but before they could say anything pez appeared "you called my darling little Liam" he laughed "anyway can't stop just dropping off don't worry bout the cash right now give it to me next time I know ya definitely good for it" he handed Liam a bag winked and walked off. Liam looked in the bag to see his usual and headed into the nearest empty room dragging Kelly with him he started setting up some lines "you want some?" "No thanx not really my thing" he snorted the coke and looked at her she had to know he did drugs he wasn't gonna hide it. She looked at him "don't worry I don't care about the drugs" he smiled "anyway I know you have to go home so I'll head home too" "ok I'll get you a car and call you before I go away and probably while I'm away" he laughed "ok speak soon" she kissed him. He got her a car, walked her too it, kissed her and headed to Dave's car.
