Chapter 5


    Sweet Reverie headed to the lobby of their hotel for the Party in the Park
after-party.  "Where's Bryan?" Aine asked the Westlife lads, who happened to
be milling about the lobby as well.
    "He's sick as a dog," Kian informed her.
    "Oh, my poor baby," Aine whined.  "I have to go make sure he's alright."
    "He's contagious," Nicky warned.  "I wouldn't go near him if I were you."
    "Fine," Aine said, "I suppose I'll just go party without him."
    The whole crew entered the hotel's huge bar, which was already jam-packed
with fellow performers.  "Why hello hello," Ronan said as he spotted Aine
walking in.  "May I buy you a drink?" he asked her.
    She giggled.  "Sure thing hot stuff.  Did I ever tell you that I am a huge
fan?"
    "No," he said as he put his arm around her waist, "but you can tell me over
drinks."
    "I thought she was dating Bryan now," Kian said to Jenn and Shawna.
    They both shrugged their shoulders.  "Oh, there's BBMak!"  Jenn squealed.
    "Oh my God!  And they're looking at us!" Shawna exclaimed.  The girls
ditched Kian and made a mad dash for the three British hotties.
    "Mind if I buy you a drink?" Mark asked Dawn as he sat on a stool next to
her.
    "If it'll make you happy, go ahead," she answered coolly.
    "I'll take a vodka and diet coke and get her whatever she wants," he told
the bartender.
    "I'll take another Crown and Coke thanks."
    "So, are you and J an item now?" Mark asked Dawn.
    She rolled her eyes.  "No, we aren't."
    "But he was at Top of the Pops to see you right?"
    "Yeah, we're friends."
    "I don't get it.  You're gorgeous and this famous pop star wants to date
you.  What's the deal?"
    "Agh!" Dawn screamed.  "I don't care if he's a pop star Mark!  I only want
a guy that loves me for me!"  Then she stormed off.
    "Did you screw up again Feehily?" Kian asked as he sat down beside Mark.
    Mark sighed and looked at his drink.  "No matter what I say to her, it
always comes out wrong."
    Kian laughed.  "It doesn't matter what you say to anybody Mark, it always
comes out wrong."
    "Feck off Egan, it's not like you're rolling in the honeys."
    "That's because I have so many to choose from that I can't decide."
    "Like who?"
    "Well, Jenn and Shawna..."
    "Who are with BBMak."
    Kian rolled his eyes.  "So what?  You know, I am so sick and tired of
always being left out.  I understand Nicky always gets shafted because he's
got a girlfriend, but what about me?  I'm single, I'm hot and dammit I'm
special too!  I can sing just as well as you and Shane, and I can be as
funny as Bryan can.  So why don't I ever get any love?  Why?  Why?"  He
began crying onto the bar.

I try but I can't seem to get myself
To think of anything but you
Your breath on my face
Your warm gentle kiss I taste the truth
I taste the truth

We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more

    Kian felt a hand on his shoulder and he knew it wasn't Mark's.  "Hey
sweetie, there's no need to cry.  Hilary's here to give you all the love you
deserve."
    "Wha?" Kian said as he turned around to see the most beautiful woman he had
ever seen.  She had shoulder-length dark brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes.
  "Do I know you?"
    She giggled.  "I'm Sweet Reverie's personal songwriter and tonight, I'm all
yours."
    "I, uh, ok." It took Kian two seconds to realize what she wanted.  "Shall
we head upstairs?"
    "I was hoping you'd ask," she replied and they left the party.

I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms
Who holds you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more
Than to feel this way
I wanna be with you yeah

    "Why didn't I meet you before I married Yvonne?" Ronan asked Aine as he
kissed her neck.
    "Because I'm 5 years younger than you," she giggled.
    "You are so beautiful Aine, like a diamond.  I want you."
    "Then let's go upstairs."
    "Ok." Ronan took her hand and led her to his room.

So I'll hold you tonight
Like I would if you were mine
To hold forevermore
And I'll savor each touch
That I wanted so much to feel before
To feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this


    "Would you like to dance?" Kimmy finally found herself asking Shane.  She'd
been watching him all night and she knew he was watching her too.
    "I really shouldn't..."
    "C'mon," she said and grabbed his arm.  "One little dance won't hurt you
Shane."

I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms
Who holds you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more
Than to feel this way
I wanna be with you


    Dawn stood in the corner and watched Mark moping at the bar.  'Stop it
Dawn,' she told herself. 'He'll only lead to trouble.'  But deep in her
heart, she knew she wanted him, wanted to be with him.
    Mark watched all the happy couples in the club.  Hell, even Shane was
dancing with Kimmy.  He spit his drink out.  "Shane's dancing with Kimmy!"
he exclaimed.  That's when he noticed Kian was gone.  "Dammit, everybody's
got someone but me."

Oh baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore
It drives me crazy when I try to
So come on and
Take my hand
Can you make my wish
Baby your command yeah

    "Shane, why do you always run away from me?" Kimmy asked as they danced.
    "It's complicated Kimmy.  It's not you though, you're perfect.  It's just
me, I have issues I need to deal with," he finally confessed to her.
    "What kind of issues?"
    He shook his head.  "You don't wanna know.  Let's just dance ok."
    "Fine," she said and rested her head on his shoulder.  He sighed and
thought 'Filan, you better get your act together before you lose any shot
you have with her.'

I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more
Than to feel this way
I wanna be with you
Oh yeah I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you yeah
I wanna be
I wanna be with you yeah
I wanna be I wanna be baby
I wanna be
I wanna be with you yeah
Wanna be with you


    Aine rolled over the next morning and saw not her darling Bryan but Ronan
Keating.  She opened her mouth to scream, but thought better of it.  She
snuggled up next to him; after all, this was her dream come true.  But all
good things must come to an end, and dreams sometimes turn into nightmares.
