Thanks to Trudy Green for our first Fan Fic

Soul Mates
(Written from Lee’s point of view)

It was a chilly autumn day when we first exchanged glances; the boys and me were at a signing at virgin mega store in Oxford Street. I was getting a bit bored with writing my name over and over again on Cd covers and I wanted to leave. It was then I saw her, she walked over to us and handed me her cd to sign, “What’s your name?” I asked her out of my own interest
“Trudy” she replied smiling at me, she had curly blonde hair and electric blue eyes. She was perfect in everyway.
“Well sign the cd then Lee!” Duncan urged
“Oh sorry” I replied I was too busy staring at the girl in front of me to notice that I had scribbled all over the cd cover. “Sorry” I apologised “do you want me to get you another one?”
“No…. well actually, can I please have another but keep that one as well?”
“Sure” so I got her a new cd and we all signed it properly this time “here is my number, call me?”
“Sure! Do you want my number too?” she asked me
“Okay then” she gave me her number and I told her I’d call her soon.

“Ooooohhhhhhh Lee’s got himself a new girlfriend!” Ant teased when we were back at our hotel.
“Shut up Ant she isn’t my girlfriend I just gave her my number and told her I’d call her that’s all.”
“Oh yeah that’s all!” Simon joked
“Oh leave him alone” Duncan reassured me but even I couldn’t keep a straight face when Ant started chatting up his pillow pretending to be me.
“So are you gonna call her Lee?”
“Ummmm”
“I would mate she’s well HOT!” Duncan said
“Yeah Lee go for it if you really like her!” Ant and Simon added
“Ok I’ll call her tomorrow” and with that we all went to bed. I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to arrive, Trudy was so perfect for me.
“Wake up mate its already 11am!” Duncan screamed as he jumped on me
“All right all right! Give me a chance to wake up!” I got out of bed and looked at the alarm clock “DUNCAN it’s only 9am!”
“Well you wouldn’t have got up other wise! And anyway you’ve gotta call that fan of yours”
“Oh yeah I’d forgotten all about that” I lied to the guys I wasn’t gonna tell them that I had been thinking about her all night.
I got changed and went downstairs to the dining room for breakfast. I was too nervous to eat which was completely strange of me, Duncan and Antony noticed and asked what was up “its just nerves, that’s all” I told them
“Well why are you so nervous? You’re only meeting a fan, its not the first time you’ve met one!”
“I know it’s just…. she’s so beautiful and calm and… well I just feel nervous around her that’s all” I confessed.
“Don’t worry mate you’ll be alright! Ant reassured me
I called her at 10 and we arranged to meet at the virgin mega store where I had first set eyes on her the day before.
Walking to the store on my own I felt really nervous, what if she didn’t like me? What if I didn’t like her? What was I panicking for? As I neared the shop I saw her outside, she was dressed in flared jeans and a red Chinese strappy top with a demin jacket over the top.
“Alright?” I said as I neared her
“Now that I’ve seen you,” she replied with so much confidence. “So where are we goin then?”
“Where do you wanna go? I mean I’m not bothered”
“Well why don’t we go to a theme park or something?” she suggested
“Yeah ok I’m up for a laugh” I replied and we set off in a taxi to Alton Towers.
“That was a brill day out!” Trudy said excitedly
“Yeah I haven’t been able to let myself go and have that much fun in ages!” I replied just as excited “do u wanna have dinner now? Seeing as its 7pm”
“Yeah sure where abouts are you thinking?
“Ummmm I know a Chinese just around the corner, you fancy eating there?” I replied
“What are we waiting for? Lets get goin I’m starving!”
“Race you there!” I shouted and with that I started running like I’d never ran before.
“Oh my god! You said it was only round the corner!”
“Well ok round the corner, up the street, turn left, up a bit then on the right!” I joked, “let’s eat shall we?” and we went in.

After dinner we went to a local pub and started chatting about everything and anything we could think of. As she was talking I stared into he electric blue eyes and she stopped talking and gazed back at me, “What its is?” she asked
“Nothing its just…”
“What? Tell me!”
“You’re just so beautiful and talented and imaginative…” my voice trailed off as she blushed.
“I wouldn’t call talking to you about the weather a talent” Trudy joked
I just carried on staring into her blue eyes, I felt like I was dreaming, it just didn’t seem real.  She stared at me too and our eyes locked. I pulled away to get more drinks in, “calm down” I told myself. I walked back to the table where we were sitting and flashed her a cheeky smile, “listen after this why don’t we go back to my hotel? And you can meet the rest of the guys!”
“Sure if you want but I’m fine sitting here with you!”
“Well okay then but be warned there’s no telling what I can get up to when I have one too many pints!”

Later on I walked Trudy back to her flat that she shared with her best mate Linzi, “well I guess I’ll see you another time?” she smiled sweetly at me,
“You can count on it! I replied sounding positive I leaned in to kiss her and as we locked lips I felt electricity flowing through us, I knew that this was meant to be. “I’ll call you soon” I told Trudy “ok then bye, thanks for a brilliant day out and the meal”
“That’s ok but I should be thanking you for the best time I’ve had in ages!” she unlocked the door to find Linzi standing in the doorway, I waved her a friendly wave and winked at Trudy “bye” I called as I walked off. As the door slammed I heard screaming and I laughed to myself I knew that I would have to tell the guys all about today after all it was now 2pm! We had been out for over 12 hours!
“And here comes lover boy himself” Duncan shouted
“Not now guys I’m too tired”
“Well I’m not surprised its 3am man!” Ant replied
“That’s exactly why I’m goin to bed!”
“Hey no way we’ve been waiting to hear bout this all day!” Simon protested
“Yeah come on Lee Tell us what happened!”
“Okay okay” so I sat and told them in great detail what happened, they laughed, they took the mickey but I didn’t care I had a brilliant day and I wouldn’t ever forget it!
“Wow man sounds like she’s really into you!”
“Yeah shame though aint it?” Duncan said
“Why’s that then?” Ant asked
“Well if she didn’t like Lee I would have had her myself!” Duncan laughed
“Dunk your always looking for an easy ride!” I said! I gotta get some kip before I next see her again” and with that I stumbled into bed tired but happy.
I had only been asleep for about 10 minutes when my phone started ringing… “Hello” I mumbled half asleep, “Hi it’s me,” the familiar voice on the other end of the phone said, “Oh hi, how are you?” I asked Trudy
“I’m fine but I’m missing you! I only called to say night even though its already morning!”
“It’s okay, I couldn’t stop thinking about you and the day we had, it was so fun. Do you wanna meet up tomorrow?”
“Yeah sure but didn’t you say that you and the boys had that recording session to go to?”
“Oh yeah I totally forgot about that! Listen do you wanna come? We might be a while but… I mean… its up to you”
“Yeah I’d love to come and watch you recording, I promise I’ll try not to pull funny faces at you through the glass!”
“Okay meet me at innocent records in Henley Street tomorrow at 11am?”
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world!” and with that she rang off, now I’d have something to look forward to about tomorrow.

“Come on guys get up and dressed!”
“What? What’s the time?” Simon moaned as he got outta bed
“It’s 11.30am” Dan our manager replied
“Oh my god” I shouted jumping outta my bed and running for the bathroom
“I’ve never seen him move so fast!” Duncan exclaimed as I ran to get in the shower first.
“Well maybe the rest of you should take after Lee and get a move on!” Dan shouted to the rest of the guys. “Okay okay” Ant moaned as he got out of his warm bed and got ready for breakfast.
Standing outside the recording studios waiting for Trudy it started to rain, I stood under the ridge so as not to get wet when I saw Trudy walking over to me. “Hi there gorgeous!” I called to her “Hey sexy!” she replied “lets go in its freezing out here!” I said as we walked through the glass doors of the innocent records building. We walked into the recording room where the rest of the band was working on ‘fly by’.
“System up with the top down, got the city on lock down, drive by in the low ride, hands high as we fly by!” Duncan sang loudly into the microphone. “Wooohoo” Trudy screamed loudly as he walked out of the room. “Thanks” Duncan replied politely, he winked at me as he walked over to us; Ant and Simon were soon round Trudy and me as well. “Guys this is Trudy, you know the girl we met at the signing the other day?” “Oh you mean the girl whose cd you scribbled all over?” Ant joked, “Yeah that’s me” Trudy spoke up “how are you guys?” she asked so calmly.
“Were all fine but we’ve gotta get back to recording now so we’ll talk later, is that okay?” Simon apologised for the band,
“Yeah that’s cool, I’ll just sit over here and watch you all recording”

5 hours and 3 songs later we all went down to the café to get a bite to eat. “So what do you do for a living?” Ant asked Trudy politely, “I’m a hairdresser at the salon down the road, its called ‘A Cut Above The Rest’,
Have you heard of it?
“Yeah, I think I had my hair done in there once” Duncan replied.
“Well maybe I could give you all a special discount next time you come for a new do!” Trudy winked at me and we cracked up in hysterics.

We sat and chatted for another 2 hours after we went back to the hotel for another 4 hours and then at 10pm I took Trudy home. “Thanks for another brilliant day Lee” she said as I stared into her electric blue eyes “It’s nothing, I enjoyed myself too” We kissed a passionate kiss and I went back to the hotel.
She’s a really nice girl Lee mate!” Simon said “yeah you make your uncle Antony proud” Ant joked around.
Trudy and I always saw each other after that, whether we were out with the boys or out on our own we were always having fun. After we had been together for a year and a half I decided that the time was right to ask her a very important question…
“Now guys I need you to be at the restaurant by 7 coz we are gonna be getting there at quarter past” I told Duncan Antony and Simon. I was taking Trudy out to the nicest restaurant in town for her birthday and the guys and I were going to serenade her with the song ‘Best In Me’.
“Okay Lee we know you want everything to be perfect so don’t worry we will be there” Duncan reassured me, they all gave me a hug for good luck and I set of to pick Trudy up from her flat.
“Happy birthday!” I said as Trudy opened the door to me, “you look wonderful” She was wearing a black mini skirt with a black strappy top, there was a gap where you could see a strip of her stomach and her pierced belly button, the belly bar that I had brought her for Christmas last year was glimmering in the light of the moon. “Thanks” she replied as I took her arm and led her to the limo waiting for her at the end of the path.
We pulled up at the restaurant just on time, I saw Duncan give me a wink from the door that he was hiding behind as we walked to our table. We ordered some champagne and then I nodded at Duncan Ant and Simon to start singing,
‘From the moment I met you I just knew you’d be mine, you touched my hand and I knew that this was gonna be our time. I don’t ever want to lose this feeling, I don’t wanna spend a moment apart, coz you bring out the best in me, like no-one else can do, that’s why I’m by your side that’s why I’m loving you…’
By the time we had finished singing Trudy had tears in her eyes, I knew this was the perfect time to ask her… “Trudy?” I said,
“Yes Lee?” she replied “Trudy from the moment I saw you at the signing 2 years ago, my heart jumped and I knew that you were the one for me…”
“Go on” Trudy urged,
“What I’m trying to say is…” the whole restaurant had gone quiet and I got down on one knee “Trudy will you marry me?”
“YES LEE!” Trudy screamed as she jumped up and hugged me tightly. The whole restaurant was clapping and cheering for us, Duncan, Ant and Simon were congratulating us as well. But we didn’t seem to notice any of this as we kissed.
8 months later we were walking down the aisle, it was a warm July day and we had the wedding outside. “Lee Ryan do you take thee Trudy Ann Green to be your lawfully wedded wife?” asked the vicar
“I do” I replied.
“And do you Trudy Ann Green take thee Lee Ryan to be you lawfully wedded husband?”
“I do” Trudy replied.
“Then by the power invested in me I now pronounce you Husband and Wife” the vicar congratulated us.
We kissed and my life was filled with happiness, I knew that from now on whatever happened I would be sharing it with Trudy, the person that I loved the most. Photos were taken and then it was off to the reception at the innocent records building. Obviously speeches were made but there was more than one best man speech, there were three! I couldn’t decide who I wanted to be best man out of Duncan, Ant and Simon so in the end I chose all three! Trudy’s maid of honour was her best friend Linzi and her bridesmaids were her close friends Emma, Steph and Sophie. It was a wonderful day and by the end we were exhausted!
Little did I know it but 10 months later I was a daddy to a beautiful baby boy called Scott. Lets just say we weren’t that exhausted after the wedding night! Duncan, Ant and Simon were all Scott’s godfathers. This was one of the happiest days of my life, all because of a chilly autumn day and a signing I had found my soul mate, the one I loved most and now I was with her, Scott made us complete, we were whole, we were a family and we always would be.
