Breanna met Chris for lunch as planned and thankfully it was all business. He showed her a few ideas for the next album and the next tour. She liked what she saw, but she liked what she saw in Chris even more. She had never actually met him before. All business transactions with Chris were done over the phone, email, and fax. He was a tall handsome Englishman. Like the fairytale always says, he was tall, dark, and handsome with large green eyes, very similar to Kevin. He was a gentleman through and through and Breanna was delighted with him. "So, what are you plans for this week?" he asked her, taking a sip of his wine. "Touring, touring and more touring. Oh, and the guys are coming to town but shhhh! Eve and Natasha don't know." Breanna smiled childishly at Chris. "Mum's the word, m'dear." He stated. They talked about business and touring for another hour before Chris looked down at his watch. His face fell when he looked up at Breanna. "Oh dear, it's late. I have a plan to catch and I'm sure you do, too." Breanna's eyes grew wide when she realized that her plane was leaving in two hours to England. "Damn! I didn't finish packing." "Shy, such language for a lady!" He playfully scolded. Breanna smiled back at him, unsure of what to say in response. "Anyway, we better be going. Oh, before I forget, I need a date for the award show next week and..." "I'd be delighted!" She replied quickly before Chris could finish asking her out. "Oh, well, okay then. Next week it is! Have a safe flight and I'll call you soon." Chris stood up and kissed Breanna on the cheek. "Cheer up, sweetie. Things will go back to the way they used to be with Howie. You two were meant for one another." Chris had floored Breanna. Did she still look that upset? "Don't worry. I read people well." He stated, after reading the expression on her face. "Oh wow. Thanks, Chris. I'll talk to you next week." Chris walked away from the table as Breanna sat thinking of her situation with Howie.

Breanna walked into her room to find Eve packing her things. "I figured you forgot. So how was lunch?" Eve asked. "Good. Wonderful, actually. He was the must handsome man I've met in a long time..." Breanna said dreamily as she helped Eve pack. "More handsome than Howie?" Eve asked nonchalantly. "Eve...let's not go..." "I know. Sorry, I wasn't even thinking. Forget what I said." Breanna nodded her head, looking around the room for anything else she might have missed. "No." Breanna stated. "No? What?" Eve was confused. Breanna had been thinking aloud lately and it confused her to no end. "No. He wasn't more handsome than Howie. No one is."

Breanna walked towards the bathroom to pack up her makeup and hair supplies. "All done packing?" Natasha yelled as she ran up the stairs. "Almost! Have the bellboy take our things out to the limo. We'll leave when Bree is finished." Eve stated. "It's almost 5pm and you're still in your pajama's Eve?" Natasha asked in disbelief as she called the lobby to send a bellboy upstairs. "Yeah, I'll go get dressed right now." Eve walked out of the room slowly, arm across her stomach. That had become her favorite position. Breanna walked out of the bathroom to find Natasha staring at her photo album. "Whatcha lookin' at?" Breanna asked smiling. "Oh, you and D. Christmas, remember? You and I met for the first time." Natasha smiled, holding up the photo album to show Breanna the group photo of everyone. Breanna nodded quickly without looking at the photo. "Thomas has grown up so fast." Breanna commented. Natasha frowned at her attempt to get Breanna to look at a picture of herself and Howie. "Yeah, he has. Nick says he wants to learn how to ride a bike but Brian won't let him teach Tommy. Brian says Nick'll send Tommy out into traffic the minute a pretty girl walks by." Natasha explained, giggling. "Nick may be in love with you but he is a normal guy. He loves the ladies." Breanna said laughing. "I blame AJ." Natasha stated. "Ya know what? Me too!" Breanna laughed again. "What's so funny?" Eve asked walking back into the room in her Nike workout outfit. "Nike?" They both asked. "Okay, this baby is growing way too fast! My jeans won't zip anymore." Eve complained while Breanna and Natasha laughed at her. "Come with me, Eve. I have some jeans I wear when I'm retaining water. They'll fit you."

Natasha lead Eve towards her room when Breanna's cell phone rang. "I'm out of hookers for the evening. You'll just have to settle for me" She said into the phone. "I guess you'll just have to do!" Kevin greeted. "Oh sorry, Kev! What's up?" "Not much. Any news on the pregnancy?" Kevin asked quietly. "I'm assuming by the tone of your voice that you haven't mentioned it to the other guys, right?" Kevin laughed slightly. "No, not until we know for sure. So?" "You know what? I don't know if she is or not. I don't think so anymore. But, she still needs to see you. She misses you like crazy!" Kevin smiled from ear to ear. "Me too. Okay, well, we arrive in London tomorrow. Earlier than expected. When do you get to London?" Breanna wasn't sure when they would be in London but she couldn't ask Eve or Natasha because they would know that something was being planned. "Hold on a second, Kev. Let me call Chris's hotel room before he leaves." Before Kevin got a chance to reply she picked up the hotel phone. Kevin listened intently on Breanna's cellphone. "Hey Hun! It's Bree. Not much. When will I be in London? And what am I supposed to wear to the awards while we're at it. Okay, yeah, I'll call you when I get into Birmingham. Have a safe flight. Bye!" Breanna picked up her cellphone sounding happier than she had sounded in a while. "Okay Kev! We arrive tomorrow. I guess there was a change in plans. We're going to Birmingham tonight and fly to London late tomorrow night. They want to have a press conference early the next morning." "Bree? Who was that you were talking to on the phone?" Kevin asked suspiciously. "Chris. Why?" She didn't see the big deal. "Chris? Who's that?" He asked again. "Jive...CEO. Oh, not you too, Kev! I just got done screaming at Eve about me being around other guys." Kevin could sense Breanna's frustration and backed down quickly. "No, Bree. I was just curious. You tell me about everyone you meet and know. I just don't remember you mentioning a Chris so I was concerned. Don't worry, I won't nag you about him." Breanna smiled. Kevin really did understand her. "Thanks, Kev. I love you! You know my cellphone number so give me a call after midnight tomorrow, k? We have a show. Ugh!" She groaned as Kevin laughed. "Ah, it's not that bad. The Birmingham crowd was always good to us. Don't worry!"

When they arrived in London, it was almost midnight and raining. Breanna's cellphone had been ringing all day long and she dreaded answering it again. Natasha, Breanna, and Eve sat in their limo on the way to the hotel when her phone rang again. "Would it bother either of you if I tossed this thing out the window?" Breanna asked as she answered the phone. Both girls laughed at Breanna. She had grown increasingly less patient with all things electronic. "WHAT?" She shouted into the phone. She heard laughter all around and recognized the voices. "Oh it's YOUUUUU!" She moaned. "We love you too, babe." Nick joked. "I'm guessing Birmingham wasn't as nice to you?" Kevin asked. "How could anyone not be nice to you?" Brian asked. "That depends. I bet you didn't show any skin and the guys were pissed." AJ commented. "Oh c'mon!" Howie groaned with a slight laugh. Breanna laughed at his discomfort. "You don't have to walk on egg shells around me, D. And no, I had a good show, thankyouverymuch!" Eve and Natasha's eyes grew large at the mention of Howie's name and the giggle in Breanna's voice. "Yes!" They both whispered to themselves in a slight cheer. Breanna rolled her eyes. "You guys know how much I hate speaker phone!" she complained. Eve and Natasha smacked their knees. "Damn!" They shouted aloud. "Was that my girl?" Nick asked excitedly. "Yes it was, Nick." Natasha placed her hand over her heart and smiled. "I love you, baby!" She shouted. "Ahhh, how cute!" The rest of the guys teased Nick. Nick smiled sheepishly. "Okay, give me the 411 and give it to me now. You know what I'm taking about, Kev." Breanna said quietly into the phone. Eve and Natasha couldn't hear Breanna because the rain was pouring down too hard on the limo windows causing a pounding sound. "Okay quick info. You know our cellphone numbers. We're in your hotel in rooms 2214 through 2222, even numbers". "Wow, that's our floor. Okay, I'll call you guys later. An hour. Bye!" She said quickly into the phone before hanging up. "What was that all about? How come we couldn't talk to them?" Eve asked. "They said to tell you both that they love you, all FIVE of them love you, and that they'll call you in an hour. Your TWO will call you, no promises if the rest of the guys will be around to make gagging noises in the background." Breanna joked.
