*author’s note* This chapter is complete cheese! Meaning it’s the perfect sum up; everyone lives happily ever after and shit like that. If you don’t feel like reading that then consider this a warning, after this point it’s your fault not mine anymore. J

 

Drip-drip-drip

Orlando laughed, “Now why does this seem familiar?” He looked up at one of the balcony’s off his second floor, “Come off it Dom!”

“Come off what?” Dom walked up to him and handed him a beer.

“Well if it’s not you then who is it?”

“Doing what?”

Drip-drip-drip

Orlando pointed at the water slowly making its way down his face, “Doing that.”

“Fuck sakes he took me gag. Billy stop stealing my material!” He shouted at the balcony.

“What the hell are you yelling about?” Billy joined them with a confused look on his face.

“It’s not you?” Dom was desperately trying to strain his neck to see who it could be.

“It’s not me what?” He asked then…

Drip-drip-drip

Orlando groaned, “Trying to soak me. Lij its not funny mate!” He called.

“Actually it is, but I can’t take credit for it.” Elijah came over to his friends, “Listen I just got a call from Fred, he was wondering if we could make another appearance at his club. Like the one we did a few months back.”

Orlando tried to step away from the dripping, “Yeah sure, whatever mate.”

Finally it dawned on Dom and he burst out laughing, “Allie! Baby you’re stealing my bit.”

Her face appeared from over the balcony railing she smiled down at him, “It sounded like fun so I just had to try it.”

“You don’t by any chance have any hope up there do you?” Orlando laughed.

Hope stood up with Kierra and Gemma who were laughing and trying to balance a large bucket of water, “You called?” She said sweetly before they dumped the water.

All four guys stood there soaked and looked at each other. “So.” Billy blew some of the water that was cascading itself down his face, “Club?”

“Ooh a club!” Allie squealed, “Ladies we must get ready, let’s all go to Hope’s!”

“I’ll drive.” Hope offered and the women ran off the balcony.

They were already in the car and down the driveway by the time the guys were able to get through Orlando’s house. “Orli mate you need a moving sidewalk in here.” Dom tried to catch his breath.

“What I need is a quick shower so we can beat them there.” He said with a laugh, “Each grab a bathroom, you have twenty minutes.”

 

Two hours later Dom and Billy were upstairs in VIP staring down at Orlando and Elijah who were signing as many autographs as they could. “Deja vu huh?” Billy said.

“It took them almost 45 minutes last time.” Dom grumbled.

“Hey look.” Billy pointed.

Hope, Allie, Kierra and Gemma slowly made their way through the crowd. “Excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me.” They said politely until they were standing next to the doorman who was attempting to stop the flow of woman who were trying to get into the club and get nearer to Orlando and Elijah. He was alone in his endeavour because the other security couldn’t get through to the guys.

“Hey we’re on the guest list.” Allie said.

He looked at them, “Names and ID.”

They provided the info. Once into the room Hope asked him, “How long have those two been doing that?”

“Twenty minutes, half hour maybe.” The guy answered, “They need to get in there soon or there’s gonna be a riot.”

Hope grabbed her sister’s arm, “We’ll meet you two in there.”

“What are we gonna do?” Kierra asked as the two women weaved their way towards Orlando and Elijah.

“Give them a reason to leave.” Hope said she whispered her idea to her sister.

Kierra laughed, “We’ll at least get on the internet that way.”

“We’ll also get the guys inside.”

Orlando was trying to sign a book, smile at a camera and catch the adoring words being spoken to him by the crowd in front of him. He looked around him, “Where’s security?” He whispered to Elijah.

“Hell if I know.” His friend mumbled then smiled as a camera was snapped.

Just then each guy felt arms around their waists. They were just about to panic when familiar voices spoke into their ears, “We’ll show you how it’s done.” The girls whispered. “Don’t let go.”

“I don’t believe it.” Billy laughed, “Look at them clear through that crowd.”

Dom had an arm around Allie and watched in amusement as Hope and Kierra with Orlando and Elijah respectively holding onto their waists for dear life. The women expertly weaved through the crowd. The fans were so bewildered by the spectacle they couldn’t do anything but stare. By the time they knew what was going on the four were near enough to security for them to do their jobs.

“Hey lads remember what I said the last time we were here?” Billy asked once all eight of them were in the VIP lounge safe and sound.

“You mean about finding a regular woman and having a real relationship?” Elijah asked.

“I thought he was joking at the time.” Dom laughed.

“Me too.”

“I was.” Billy grinned. “I was reacting to something said about Colin Farrell.”

“What was said?” Hope asked.

“They were comparing me to him.” Orlando answered truthfully.

“Ah but you’ve got something Farrell doesn’t have Orli.” Elijah grinned.

“What’s that?”

“Hope.”

Everyone groaned and smacked at him then laughed and ordered another round of drinks. It’s a good thing to be rich and famous, but there’s something to be said about leaving a single life behind.
