Disclaimer: ok! Well the only thing in this story I don't own is the s club
and some of the songs are taken from other artists as well because I like them.
Everything else is my own material from my own head!
Spoilers: For story writing purposes I have added another member to the band
S Club 7. In this fanfic I will refer to the band as S Club. One of S Club will
come out as a bad guy in this story and looking around on the net, it is probably
a one of the more popular members. I have added the enrolment of the 8th Member
before I begin the actual fanfic.
::The Meeting::
The Moon shone brightly in the clear sky as the star's twinkled above the streets
of London. Hand in hand walked two of members of S Club, the band which had
become famous in their homeland. Strangers looked at them with surprise, seeing
how close they were. They were both supposed to be with other people but they
were walking past them as if they were a couple. Hannah noticed some of the
looks and felt slightly uncomfortable. Fortunately for them, Simon Fuller never
released the news when Paul and Hannah and Tina and Johnny hooked up. So the
looks never lasted to long. Still she wasn't sure Simon would be happy if this
got to him. Johnny didn't seem to have the same worries though, he normally
had everything under control anyway.
Hannah: I think we've become the centre of attention on this street!
Johnny: Probably amazed by your beauty!
Hannah blushed slightly and smiled. She had felt it appropriate to dress up
for this situation and was wearing a sparkling blue dress. It had defiantly
impressed Johnny back at the hotel. Then again she was impressed at how easy
it seemed for Johnny to look so good. He wasn't even dressed when she knocked
at his room. Well he had a towel around his waist as he had only just stepped
out of the shower. As usual he had his stereo playing as he got ready as he
danced and changed and was all ready in 5 minutes. If you looked at him after
he had changed you would have thought he spent a lot of time considering what
he would wear. It could just be the way he is, because he always seems to look
like a model, standing tall and straight.
Hannah: I think that's the restaurant!
She pointed at the restaurant Rachel had told them to meet at. Ocas Cuisine!
They headed towards it and entered. They were immediately shown to their seats
on the table which Paul and Rachel had been waiting at. Rachel wasn't there
and Paul was sitting on his own. There was immediately tension in the air as
Johnny and Paul gave each other a half hearted nod. Hannah decided to break
the silence.
Hannah: Where is Rachel?
Paul: She want to the restroom. She'll be back in a minute!
Hannah had to admit Paul was looking very good as well as memories of why she
fell for him returned. She hadn't gotten over Paul but she knew she wanted Johnny.
She had done since the first time they kissed.
::Flash Back::
Bradley: Why did Tina have to drink so much that she knocked herself out. I
was going to pull that Linda if we stayed.
Jon: Her name was Laura!
Bradley: Yeah, that is what I said! Anyway, I am not ready to end the night,
how about a game of Truth and Bare?
Jo: Bare?
Johnny: Yeah, we played it at High School with some girls once. If you say Bare,
you have to take an item of clothing off.
Hannah: Really?
Johnny: Nah, I think Bradley meant Dare.
Bradley nods and drops on a chair. He points at Johnny and sits up!
Bradley: I say he goes first as he seems so sober.
Johnny: I had just as much as you Brad; just I am more experienced at drinking.
Paul: Anyone is more experienced than Brad.
Bradley: Shut up Jon!
Jon: It wasn't even me, ahh forget it.
Rachel: Lets play then. Johnny, Truth or Dare?
Johnny: Dare.
The rest begin to think of something to make Johnny do as he waits for the dare
to be given to him.
Rachel: Snog Hannah for 10 seconds!
Jo: That is poor Rach! That the best you could think off?
Rachel: Don't see anyone else suggesting anything.
Jon: That will do for now!
Johnny begins to lean in towards Hannah as she does the same and the tilt their
heads opposite ways. Their lips meet as Paul starts counting to ten. The kiss
begins to become more passionate as they lie down on the couch. At that moment
Tina walks through the door and sees Johnny and Hannah all over each other with
Paul on the nine count. Tina runs back into Johnny and Brad's room and nobody
notices as Paul reaches ten.
Paul: You can stop now, that's ten seconds!
Jo: Now that was quite a show!
Johnny and Hannah slowly pull away from each other as Rachel and Jo sarcastically
clap. Hannah gets up and bows as Johnny sits back and smiles.
Jon: Was that for our benefit or did you guys actually mean it.
Johnny: What do you think?
Hannah: I know what I thought. Can we go again?
The band laugh together as Hannah sits back next to Johnny.
::Back in the Restaurant::
Ever since then she had wanted to be with Johnny, but her friend Tina wanted
exactly the same and she had to try and forget about her feelings, but she never
did. And they hit her with vengeance when they spent that night together in
Brazil. She must have been smiling at the thought of the kiss because Paul interrupted
her thoughts.
Paul: Why are you so happy?
Hannah: Just remembering one of the best kiss of my life!
She didn't know why she said what she was actually thinking but she did.
Paul: You mean the night at that restaurant in Birmingham?
Johnny: I think she means any of the kisses I gave her.
Paul: Yeah right, well lets ask Hannah then! Who's the better kisser?
Great! She didn't want to answer that kind of question. She knew the answer
but she didn't want Paul getting angry or upset, she wanted the meeting to go
according to plan. Luckily Johnny stepped in with the save. He was good at that,
one of his good qualities.
Johnny: Don't put her on the spot like that. It doesn't really matter anyway.
Rachel: Paul's a better kisser anyway.
They all turned to see Rachel approach them. Rachel was wearing a black dress,
which hugged her great figure. Both Paul and Johnny looked on for a while. Paul
had already seen the dress but it still blew him away. She didn't affect Johnny
for long though, at the moment Rachel did nothing for him, she might have the
good looks but so did Hannah and he wasn't interested in anyone else.
Johnny: And how do you come to that conclusion?
Rachel: I've kissed both of you and Paul is a better kisser!
Johnny: If your talking about that time you attacked me on the sofa then that
doesn't count because you just jumped me and I was not kissing back.
Hannah was compelled to speak up for Johnny at this point and she regretted
it straight after, realizing this wasn't the way to start a supposedly friendly
conversation, which other people were beginning to watch.
Hannah: Johnny makes Paul seem like an inexperienced teenager when it comes
to kissing!
Silence as no one quite knows what to say.
Johnny: Look, no of this matters anyway. Rachel probably prefers the way Paul
kisses and Hannah prefers my way. Anyway, I think we should just sit down, order
and talk this out.
Everyone seemed to listen as they sat down and looked at the menu quietly. After
awhile the waiter came to take their orders.
Waiter: So what will it be?
Johnny: Spaghetti Carbonara and a side salad please!
Hannah: Paella please!
Johnny: Want to share a bottle of wine Han?
Hannah: Yeah, could we have the white wine please?
Waiter: Certainly! And you madame?
Before Rachel could even consider answering Paul chipped in!
Paul: Two Lobsters and a bottle of Champagne.
Johnny smirked and looked at Rachel who showed a sign of anger before quickly
making it disappear as she noticed Johnny's smirk.
Johnny: Well I suppose when your paying you can have as much as you like can't
you Paul!
Johnny, Hannah and even Rachel laughed at this; Rachel's laugh was more of a
silent snicker.
Paul: What do you mean by that?
Johnny: Chill mate! Just maybe Rachel doesn't want Lobster; all though I'm sure
she appreciates the fact you were going to by her the most expensive stuff on
the menu.
Paul: Okay, so make that one lobster and whatever the lady wants to drink.
Rachel tells the waiter her order and he leaves to give it to the chef.
Rachel: Well I suppose we should start talking then!
Johnny: Hey, no need to rush into it. We've got time!
Paul: No, I think we should talk now.
Johnny: Suit yourself! Well we are listening.
Rachel: Well we first want you to know we truly didn't plan for things to turn
out this way.
Johnny: I believe you on that, but what do you want us to do about it now?
Rachel: We don't know, we wanted to see what you wanted to do?
Hannah: Well I suppose we could tell the rest of the band we are seeing our
different people, they already know about Johnny and me. We don't need to tell
them how this all happened though.
Rachel: Really, thank you so much.
Johnny: You all right with that Paul?
Paul: Sure, no problem.
Johnny: You make it sound like we aren't doing you a favour.
Paul: I'm sorry; it's just hard seeing Hannah with you and knowing she thinks
you're a better boyfriend than I am.
Johnny: I'm sorry dude! Do you mind if ask you something mate?
Paul: Go ahead.
Johnny: Why did you punch me?
Paul: I don't know, I really don't know!
Johnny: Well let's just forget it.
Rachel: Yeah, let's put this all behind us.
Hannah raises her glass.
Hannah: To new beginnings!
Everyone else raises his or her glasses.
Rachel: And renewed friendships.
Paul and Johnny's stares seem to not agree with the last comment.
