Will stood, highly tensed up from this shock meeting.  He couldn't believe
his luck.  Those eyes, those eyes.  They froze him still, and yet warmed
him through and through as his blood began to rush around him.  Then the
voice came again, to break this awkward silence.

"er...are you ok there? You look a little tense? Is everything alright?"

Will tried to relax his muscles before saying his next words.  After a
couple of seconds he eased himself to a better relaxed state and managed to
begin a nice flow of words, much to his own relief.

"Oh...I'm fine really, sorry, you just...nothing, never mind."

"Here's your drink Mr Young" said the barman, causing Will to turn around
once again with a start, nearly knocking it off the bar.

"oh...er...cheers"

He took a large sip before turning back to his new acquaintance, and he
felt the strong flavour of the vodka beginning to settle and relax his
nerves just a little bit more.

"How are you doing Will? I've never really had a chance to talk to you
since Pop Idol. How are things in general?"

"Oh yeah great. Things couldn't be better, I mean, I'm having a great time,
good laughs good songs, you know..."

"Yeah, well you deserved to win Pop Idol, I was behind you all the
way. Congratulations again man, I was really glad when they read your name
out."

The voice was like music to Will. Every syllable of every word moved him
and entered his very soul, causing him to fall deeper and deeper into the
spell of the eyes that had encapsulated him those few moments ago.

"So was I." Will said

The man smiled at Will, sending him on another heart skipping trip.  This
guy was gorgeous, and no ordinary gorgeous man, but one with mega-star
status also, an idol to many.

"Listen, I've got to go in a minute, but...it was really great to have met
you Will. I hope we can meet up again sometime, and do something, go for a
drink maybe?"

"Yeah that sounds great" Will replied, hiding his phenomenal glee at this
proposition.  He couldn't believe this, and had felt like pinching himself
or kicking himself to make sure this fantastic moment wasn't some fantastic
dream and that he wouldn't be waking up in a moment, alone, feeling like
shit.

"Great, I'll call you sometime, and we'll organise something. Should be
pretty soon if that's ok? Only I have some time off from working so I
should be free, how would that be for you?"

Will took just a moment again to prepare an answer for this that wouldn't
sound totally desperate.

"Yeah, well...I mean, I'm taking some time off soon from work, it's been
really hectic. I could do with something to relax a bit."

"Well, then it seems to be working out quite well ey? Anyway mate, I'll see
ya soon"

"See ya..."

With that the man departed, whisking himself away like a phantom into the
crowd towards the doors.  Will focused on the guy until he had completely
left, and then upon losing sight, he let out a huge sigh of relaxation,
falling onto a stool at the bar.

"...Ro..." a voice came suddenly from behind.

"Is everything all right there Mr Young?" Asked the Barman, who had been
watching him tense and relax for a few minutes while casually polishing
glasses.

Will came over with a new-found confidence and happiness, turning to the
Barman with a half grin on his face, before saying smoothly

"Everything...is fantastic, thanks for asking"

He downed his drink again and slammed the glass back down onto the bar, but
no so much as to break the glass or cause a disturbance.  He saw Rupert
emerging from the crowd with a look of wonder covering his entire face.

"Oh my god...was that...? Was it...?"

"Yep" said Will casually.  He knew that he could never maintain this
cool-boy act for very long, because fact was, he was thrilled and excited.
"So, Rupert, met anyone nice? Pulled?"

"Nah, all out of my league really.  It's the silicone breasts. They're
intimidating you know, like something out of a zombie movie. I mean, what's
so attractive about having huge lumps of silicone shoved under your skin."
He grimaced for just a moment. "Nice Sizes, but I have to say that I'm with
you on this Will, this room is very false."

"Ah well Rupert, never mind, at least I've found something that could be
true."

"Oh yeah? What? That vodka makes you pissed? That the drinks are free?"

"Never mind Rupert...never mind."
