Amber and Aidan: A Love Story
So halftime at Dylan Moran. We were seated maybe 20 rows from the front at the aisle. House lights come on, everyone gets up to get drunk/have a smoke and we are just chillin in our seats people watching. James Nesbitt walks past me and I'm like "Oh it's that guy that my mum is in love with". Then this guy that looks suspiciously like Aidan Turner also walks past and I'm like ........holy shit was that Aidan Turner omg omg I don't know I thought he had more beard omg shaking and crying etc.
So we vacate our seats to have a smoke and wander through the crowd to get outside. I see James Nesbitt WITH Aidan Turner standing around chatting as we walk behind them. I brushed past his jacket, now excited because I have a confirmed Aidan Turner sighting. Also I touched him.
Smoke break outside, much fangirling and plotting to introduce myself as his dream woman etc.
Head back inside, spot him sitting maybs 15 rows infront of us and spend the second half of Dylan's set planning something non-spazzy to say to him. I am an excellent multi-tasker though, so was able to do this while thoroughly enjoying an even more hilarious Dylan Moran.
Show ends, house lights come on, I awkwardly stand up and pray that he will walk past my aisle again. Swap positions with my friend SJ so I'm basically in the aisle ready to pounce. He gets closer and closer and closer and I'm like OMFG (internally tho, externally I'm totes cool)
Me: ...Aidian?
Aidan: (DAZZLING IRISH SMILE, SPARKLING EYES ETC) Yes!
Me: Oh wow, I just wanted to say that I loved Desperate Romantics and the Being Human finale fucking ruined me. You're so talented :D! (SUBTEXT: PLEASE BE MAKING BABIES WITH ME NOW)
Aidan: (BEAUTIFUL LAUGH THAT SOUNDS LIKE ANGELS SIGHING ETC) Oh, thanks darling!
Me: Um, sorry, I just needed to awkwardly gush at you before you disappeared into the crowd (FLIRTY GIGGLE)
Aidan: (MORE BEAUTIFUL LAUGHTER, OUR SOULS CONNECTING ETC) Thanks so much (INSERT SOME VERSION OF A GOODBYE HERE ALSO A SMALL WAVE)
Erryone I was sitting with: LOLOL wtf just happened, who is that dude etc etc
Then I called Anya and told her as someone who would appreciate such news was not currently present, while awkwardly trying to hang back so Aidan Turner didn't hear me gushing about how I just met him trolololol.
Words can't describe his irl beauty tbh. The post-Adian cigarette was well needed.
THE END
