| LeLe tiredly picked up her bags from the conveyor. "Mally...got all your stuff yet?" she asked yawning. "YES!!! Almost!! one more....ahhh here we go.." Mallory smiled spotting her bag. "How can you be so cheery right now?" LeLe asked grumpily who was not her usual happy self since she hadn't gotten much sleep on the plane. "Cause!!!! We're FINALLY IN IRELAND!!! Do you know how long I've been waiting? Dreaming to come here??? Learning about my culture...my country!!!" Mallory stated excitedly. LeLe frowned, "I need sleep...." "yes you do Miss Sour Face..." mallory laughed, "I don't like you like this, you need rest, lots of sugar and caffeine so you're your old jolly self again!" LeLe stuck her tongue out at her before walking up to the customs line. "HEY!!!" Mallory yelled out, "WAIT FOR ME!!" -the next morning- "wakey...wakey...Le...." Mallory laughed as she smacked LeLe on the head with a pillow. "ohhhh GO AWAY MALLY..." LeLe groaned. "LE!!!! COME ON!! GET UP!! We've gotta hit the city and sights!!! I'm sooo excited, I just want to take everything in!! Take a billion pictures and shop a bit. Come on Le!!I can't go alone!!!" "Oh why not??" LeLe got up frowning. "It's not even 7 yet!!!!" "LELE!!! I'm in a strange country and you want me to go out there all alone??? You know I get lost easily!!! I still get lost at home!!" "Fine..fine...fine..." LeLe muttered as she made her way to the bathroom, "Please go get some breakfast though since you're ready and I'm not." "Alrighty! I'll get some downstairs! See you in a bit!" Mallory smiled as she flew out the door. -one hour later- Mallory and LeLe were just finishing up their breakfast when a knock came out the door. "Yes?" Mallory asked opening it. "Hello Madam! Maid service wants to know if you needed your room clean or not today?" the young man asked. "No, not today, thank you." Moments later LeLe appeared, "Ready to go?" she asked. brightly. "very!" Mallory smiled. "God....this city is beautiful....." LeLe sighed as she took in the beautiful surroundings around her. "Isn't it?" Mallory replied as she snapped pictures. They walked to a tiny cafe to get something to eat, as it was about lunchtime for them. "Ohhhh......I love this city....." Mallory gushed, "So beautiful.....and the shops are just the cutest things!!!" LeLe smiled. A few minutes later as the girls were munching on food a certain thing caught LeLe's eye. "Mally..." she whispered. "Do you see those guys over there looking at us??" Mallory looked up slightly and pretended to see if the waiter was coming. "Yeah....I see them...." "Aren't they cute??"LeLe giggled. Mallory rolled her eyes, "You and your Irish boys...." "Ahem...." someone cleared their throat. Both girls looked up to find the 4 young men smiling down at them. "Sorry to bother ya, but we were wondering if we could chat with ya a bit." the tall blonde asked. "Uhhh sure.." LeLe smiled gesturing to the seat next to her. The tall blonde smiled as he took it. "I'm Bryan, these are my mates Shane, Kian, and Mark. We heard you talking and realized you weren't from around here." "Yeah, we're here on vacation. We're from the U.S. actually..." "oh really? What brought you to pick Ireland?" "My best bud here, Mallory has Irish blood in her and she wanted to learn all about the country and it's culture....I've really enjoyed learning about it too..." "I didn't catch your name..."Bryan grinned extending his hand. "I'm LeLe..." she replied shaking it. "Beautiful name for a beautiful girl...." "ummm...thanks..." LeLe blushed. "Oh Bry...." Kian started, "Don't start hitting on the girls when we haven't even got a chance yet!!" Mallory and Lele laughed. "Enjoying your stay so far?" Shane asked. "Very much..." LeLe said warmly. "Right Mal?" "Oh it's beautiful here...I could live here forever..." "This is gonna sound abrupt, but are you girls spoken for?" Bryan asked. "Spoken for?" the girls looked at each other confused. "Yes.." Shane laughed, "Do you girls have boyfriends?" "oh I don't....but Mally does..." LeLe explained, "Her boyfriend is Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys...." "I thought you looked familiar..." Shane remarked. "You were mentioned in Top of the pops and your picture is in it." "What??" Mallory asked with surprise. "You read those teen magazines?" LeLe teased. "Well..." Shane blushed, "Sometimes....I just happen to come across that article, we adore BSB you see, they're great legends to us and I saw the article and read it...." "What was it about?" Mallory questioned. "Oh about you and your relationship with Nick. It said you two have been together for 3 years and then it showed pictures taken of you and him in different places." "I wonder where they got that from...." mallory thought outloud. "British magazines are very good about getting information on celebrity's personal lives and pictures to go with it. Is it not known back in the U.S.?" Kian wondered. "No..well Yes...I mean, not that known, I go to events with him, on tour and stuff but it's not that publicized, Nick says he has a girlfriend who he's happy with and such but he doesn't give out my name or anything else." "If you're not known there, I'm almost certain you're known here, but I doubt they'd recognize you without Nick." Shane added. "Well it's good to see you're happy with a guy, but LeLe, you did say you were single right?" Bryan smiled. LeLe turned red, "yeah....I did..." "Why no boyfriend? A girl as pretty as you." LeLe blushed even more. "Just haven't found the right one yet I guess...." "Well ya never know..." Bryan flashed a smile, "You may find him right here in Ireland." "Are you insinuating something Bry?" Kian laughed, "You've only met the girl for 10 minutes!!" "Yeah..only 10 minutes!!" LeLe smirked. Bryan shrugged, "Just being friendly...." "Well I hate to disrupt your flirting techniques on my best friend Bryan," Mallory laughed, "But we've got to get going, there's so much more we want to see around here." "Going so soon?" Kian asked a bit sadly. "Wouldn't you like some company?" Shane asked as he helped LeLe out of her chair. "Thanks.." LeLe smiled. "Well...." Mallory looked over at LeLe who was shooting her a please let them go with us look. "Sure...come on with us..." Mallory said finally. "Great!! We can show you gals all around Dublin! We know it like the back of our hand." Mark said excitedly. LeLe walked ahead of Mallory with Bryan and Shane at each arm. Trouble's about to abrew...Mallory thought as she watched the 3 laugh and talk. "So how long are you staying in Ireland? And how come Nick isn't with you?" Mark asked. "We're staying here for about 4-5 months, Nick's to join us in 3-4 months." "Long vacation!" Kian exclaimed. "yeah...a long and much deserved one." "What do you work as?" "I'm one of the heads of the new Backstreet Label." "And LeLe?" "Works with the Firm management and on the new BSB Label too. Brian and Kevin are considering asking her to be another head also." "That's an interesting job..." Mallory smiled, "It's got its ups, more time spent with Nick but lots of stress with it. That's why we're staying 4-5 months, I need to relax and just kick back. I've forgotten how to have fun." "I know a great place about 20 minutes out of the city that's a lot of fun!" Mark stated, "What do ya say we all head back to our house and go there?" "Well...." Mallory thought. "Come on Mallory! It'll be fun! I promise! And look, it seems LeLe is really enjoying Bry and Shay!" Kian beckoned. Mallory giggled, "She's having more fun than ya know!" "So what do ya say?" Mark asked looking at her pleadingly. "Well...okay...I know LeLe will be more than happy to spend more time with you guys." "Why do you say that?" "Well for one, she loves foreign boys with accents, especially Irish ones." she smirked. "Perfect! Bry and Shay are in contention for that!" Kian laughed. They all walked towards the boys house for an afternoon of fun.Yet both LeLe and Mallory didn't know what was in store for them. How wonderful and painful the months to come were going to be. These boys were about to change their lives forever, whether they wanted them to or not. Fate had brought them together, and now Fate was gonna determine how thing |
