| The aftershow party was well into swing and Chris was wandering round like a lost sheep. He always found these things boring and after many years he was still trying to get used to the fact that British people drink too much. He was also beginning to get fed up with being the only member of the band without a girlfriend. There was Ben and Emma, she was perfect for him and they'd been through together so much in the past 3 years. Then there was Paul and Nat who were already starting up their own little family. And of course Mark and Lauren, everyone thought that they weren't good for each other but Chris knew different. Lauren was scared to get close to Mark and she had confided this in Christian. Chris knew that Lauren did love Mark but she couldn't bear him to be far away all the time that she didn't want to commit herself. Chris spotted Emma's best friend Tess across the room and went over for a chat. "Hey how's it going Tess?" "Not too bad thanks Chris, I just got back from America. I was doing my second screen test." Tess's dream was to become a famous actress and had been doing well so far in America. "So how's it go?" "Erm, ok, I think, but I'll have to wait and see. So what you up to tonight?" asked Tess. "Just walking round feeling lonely." answered Chris. "Yeah me too, Emma told me to come and look at her!" Tess said laughing. Chris glanced over at Emma, who was sitting on Ben's lap. "They make a great couple don't they?" asked Chris. "Yeah they do." said Tess. "So are you seeing anyone at the moment?" asked Chris. "No" said Tess. "Because I'm just so busy with the acting and stuff so I haven't got time. You see how hard it is for Emma and Ben. I don't think I could cope with that." "Yeah, I know what you mean, but still it would be nice to have someone." said Chris. "Totally!" replyed Tess, looking at Chris. Chris turned round and smiled, them both gazing into each other's eyes. Chris knew what he had to do and he leaned in towards Tess and kissed her gently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Emma and Ben had walked outside because Emma had said that she hadn't been feeling well. But Ben knew that something was worrying Emma. "Babe, what's wrong?" asked Ben, pulling Emma over for a hug. "Well, I wanted to tell you this earlier, but when Nat said she was pregnant I knew I couldn't." said Emma. "Why could you not?" asked Ben. "Because, I think I'm pregnant too! I'm not sure though and I wanted to tell you but I couldn't have done that to Nat!" said Emma. "OH MY GOD, you can't be pregnant!" We're too young to be parents and what about our careers?" asked Ben, worried. "I know we're too young. I mean I'm not even 18 yet and your only 19 but I didn't say I was pregnant!" "Well babe, you know what you have to do because there is no point worrying over nothing." said Ben. "Yeah I know your right but still what if I am pregnant?" asked Emma, looking slightly scared. "Shhhh" said Ben, tonights our first night together in 3 months, lets enjoy it!" Ben kissed her and wiped her tears away. "and smile because we got the Brits coming up when we get back from our holiday." "Yeah", said Emma, sounding excited, "That's gonna be cool and as for the holiday Mr Adams, we better leave here early tonight because I know you won't have packed yet!" "Honey, course I've packed" said Ben grinning and winking at her. "Well I would have done it after you've packed it for me!" "Oi, don't look at me like that, You know I can't resist those puppy dog eyes but I'm not packing for you!" said Emma. "Pwease, pwease, pwease?" pleaded Ben. Emma stood there thinking how gorgeous he was. "No Ben" she said laughing, "you have to do it!" "I'll get you, I can make you pack my bags, wait'll you see!" Ben said now laughing. "Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you, Mark finally got Lauren to say yes to coming with us!" "REALLY!" Shouted Emma. "This holiday is gonna be so bad, it's gonna kill Mark knowing that Lauren don't care for him yet he loves her so much!" "Oh well, I got you to myself for 2 weeks, no managers calling you everytime we go to do something, no fans buggong you, just you and me!" said Ben. "Well at least I won't have to share you with all your adoring female fans!" laughed Emma, then kissing again. The list of people going on holiday to the maldives was growing by the minute. Everyone seemed to be going - Ben, Emma, mark, Lauren, Paul, Nat, Chris and the way things were progressing inside, Tess would be going too. |
