Disclaimer: ok! Well the only thing in this story I don't own is the s club. 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.

::Paul and Rachel in Nairobi::

Rachel opened her eyes and looked at the clock beside her. 8:30 in the morning. She must have slept past her alarm. She looked around to Paul who held her in his arms still fast asleep. The cameramen where supposed to be arriving at about 9:00. She didn’t want to get up, she felt so comfortable in his arms. She gently lifted his arms from around her and got out of bed. Paul stirred awake and stretched before setting his eyes on Rachel. He had slept in nothing but his boxers and she had slept in a T-Shirt way to big for her and whatever happened to be underneath which Paul had found out to be not much. Paul felt a sudden guilty feeling over what he and Rachel had done. It was the same feeling that stopped him from going any further with Rachel. Rachel noticed the guilty look; she had the same look on her face when she first got up.

Rachel: You feel guilty don’t you?

Paul: Yeah, what about you?

Rachel: If I didn’t feel guilty I would have gone further than we did.

Paul: I know what you mean.

Paul hated feeling so guilty. In black and white he had done nothing wrong. He wasn’t actually official involved with Hannah. But he didn’t live in a black and white world. He still cared for Hannah but he wanted to be with Rachel as well. Rachel felt pretty much the same. She didn’t have a partner as Jeremy and she had parted. However she had been listening to Hannah tell her about how much she liked Paul and that is what made it so bad. She had gone into a no zone area.

Rachel: What do we do now?

Paul: I really don’t know.

Rachel: Well your going to have to decide before we go back and join the rest.

Paul: That is a problem!

Rachel had now got changed, no time for a shower. Paul started getting out of the bed as Rachel turned away.

Paul: Why are you turning away?

Rachel: I can’t look at you otherwise what happened last night might happen again. We might even go further. Until you decide what you are going to do I don’t want us to do it again.

Paul: I understand.

Paul quickly puts on a shirt and they carry on getting ready for the camera crew.

Paul: You do realize that if I choose you I am going to have to tell Hannah.

Rachel: I did realize that!

Paul: That could very well break up the band.

Rachel: So are you saying you have decided?

Paul: Well, do you want S Club to break up?

Rachel: No I don’t, cause then we would be ruining the careers of the other six.

Paul: Well it looks like you have made the decision as well, still friends?

Rachel: For now but maybe one day we could be more!

Paul: Maybe, it might not work with Hannah and myself. And anyway you could always go with Johnny; you seem to like him as well.

Rachel looks at Paul for a few seconds and then a smile forms and she begins to laugh.

Paul: What?

Rachel: You Muffin!

Paul: What? It isn’t like any of the girls are going to form a relationship with Johnny soon.

Rachel: You must be the only one that can’t see that Johnny and Tina are going to get it together soon.

Paul: Really, I didn’t know that!

Rachel just smiles at Paul as they continue to get ready.

::Tina’s room in Thailand::

Tina lies in her bed fast asleep. She didn’t manage to fall asleep until about 3:00am. She was thinking about Johnny the whole time up until then since she made the phone call to Hannah. She wished she had just said yes before they had left. She opens her eyes and they adjust to the light as she looks to the side of her bed. Sitting in a chair looking as calm and cool as ever was Johnny smiling at her. She blinked her eyes a couple of times to see if he was really there. He didn’t disappear but instead he got up and sat next to Tina on the bed. He takes one of Tina’s hands and cups it in his.

Johnny: Did you sleep well?

Tina: Not really!

Johnny: Well don’t worry about it as I have got you today off. I told the camera crew that you are ill so they will eave you alone today. Now we can spend the rest of the day together. That is if your answer to my question mirrors my feelings for you.

Tina: My answer mirrors your feelings exactly.

Johnny: Well then I have this to give to you!

Johnny puts his hands onto her hips and leans in giving her a gentle kiss, which sends shivers of anticipation down Tina’s spine.

Tina: So what are we going to do all day?

Johnny: Whatever you want!

Tina: Well in that case…….

Tina puts her arms around Johnny’s neck and pulls him in for a more passionate kiss. She then flips Johnny onto his back and climbs on top of him and begins kissing his neck as his hands roam to the bottom of her shirt and starts exploring under them. He returns the kisses on her neck as Tina moans and then sits up.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Tina’s eyes open. She looks around and Johnny is nowhere to be seen. She must have been dreaming. She gets up of the bed and answers the door.

Cameraman: Are you ready?

Tina: Does it look like I am ready?

Cameraman: Well can Jon do a scene then?

Tina: Jon has popped out, for a walk or something.

Suddenly Jon walks around a corner into view wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

Cameraman: You wore that yesterday; I think it would be a good idea if you changed.

Jon: Whatever! Well give us a few minutes then.

Jon and Tina walk back into the room and shut the door in the face of the cameraman.

::Johnny and Hannah in Rio::

It felt so right, even if he had in his arms the wrong person. This was supposed to be him and Tina and not Hannah. Hannah was supposed to be just a mate, a great mate but just a mate. Instead he found himself lying in bed with her wishing to do nothing but kiss her. He looked down at her; she looked so calm and peaceful. He just looked and for now that was enough for him. In one night his feelings for her went from friendship up to wanting her as a partner. What really disturbed him was this might never happen seeing as he was supposed to love Tina and not one of her best friends. Hannah begun to stir and then looked blinked her eyes and turned round and looked at Johnny. Her immediate reaction was one of joy, the fact he had stayed with her in his arms the whole night pleased her. Maybe he did have feelings greater than friendship for her.

Johnny: Morning sleepyhead.

Hannah: Morning! Hey what’s the time?

Johnny: It’s about 9:00am.

Hannah: And what time do we have to get up?

Johnny: Soon. Very soon!

Hannah: Great.

The sarcastic tone in her voice obvious as she attempts to get up but can’t as Johnny doesn’t let go of her.

Hannah: We’ve got to get up!

Johnny: I said soon, not now. This probably won’t happen again for perhaps a very long time. Can’t we just enjoy being together like this a bit longer?

Hannah: Put it like that and I can’t really refuse.

Hannah stops trying to get out of the bed as they snuggle up more than before. She hoped he was wrong because she wanted to spend every night like this. However she knew that the band may suffer if she got what she wanted and they both didn’t want that. They enjoyed the moment until they heard a knock at the door.

Bradley: Hannah, are you up?

Hannah sighed; this was the end of their moment. She got up out of bed, this time Johnny offering no resistance.

Hannah: I’m up!

Bradley: Is Johnny in there with you cause he wasn’t in our room when I got back.

Johnny: I’m here; I guess I just fell asleep over here.

Bradley: All right then, we have to be ready in about half an hour for the hang gliding and everything.

Johnny: Brad?

Bradley: What?

Johnny: Why on earth are you up so early, you’re never the one to wake anyone else up.

Bradley: I guess I am still a bit high from that football atmosphere. It was a great game. See you in a sec.

Bradley walks away as Johnny gets out of the bed and puts on his clothes from yesterday and saw Hannah glimpsing at him while he was doing just that.

Johnny: It can’t happen! You do realize that?

Hannah: Yeah. We both have people waiting for us and it would cause friction in the band. At least I don’t feel guilty about anything we did together.

Johnny: Who knows, one day I could be all yours.

Hannah: I can but dream.

Johnny walks towards the door and opens it and looks back at Hannah.

Johnny: I’ll see you in half an hour.

Johnny walks out and shuts the door behind him as Hannah falls back onto her bed trying to remember the time she spent with him just a few moments ago. Remembering the feeling that she may never have again.
