"Colm? Colm! Come here and give me my basketball back!" Kian shouted from up the stairs at his parents' house. "COLM! Come here you lil' brat!"

"You can't catch me! You can't catch me!" Colm sang from downstairs.

"Come here!" Kian shouted, running down the stairs and outside the house after Colm. "Colm I'm fucking warning you, give me my fucking basketball back!"

"Hey" Samantha said as she walked out of her taxi.

"Sammy?" Kian asked, dead shocked.

"Yeah�that's me�"

"Didn't recognized you at first�you dyed your hair" he said, pointing at her brown hair.

"Hey Ki!" Colm shouted from behind a tree. "Guess what I have now!"

"Colm give me my fucking basketball back!" Kian shouted at him, putting his hands on his hips. "My little brother" he said to Samantha when he noticed the 'what the fuck' look on her face.

"Least you're good with children"

"Always have been�COLM!" Kian suddenly shouted as he noticed Colm was waving his favorite Guns And Roses CD at him. "Gimme that!" he said, running to Colm.

"You can't catch me! You can't catch me! Na, na, na, na, na, na!" Colm said as he ran back into the house.

"Oh crap" Kian said as he walked back to Samantha. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon now, Mrs. Timberlake?"

"Don't call me that!" Samantha said, disgusted. "I never married him"

"What do you mean?" Kian said, crossing his arms.

"At the wedding, when the priest asked me if I wanna be his wife�I just said no"

"You're shittin' me?"

"Not really�ask Peppa, she was the happiest woman alive"

"Cos she has the hots for Timberlake?"

"God, I hope not" Samantha laughed.

"So what is it that you're doing here?" Kian asked.

"Kian! Look what I caught!" Kevin, Kian's dad said as he appeared at the house's door, holding Colm's arm.

"Colm! Come here!" Kian said running to him, snapping his basketball and Guns And Roses CD back. "Don't ever touch my stuff"

"Don't ever make fun of Barney! He rocks, man" Colm said.

Samantha smiled. Colm was like a tiny version of Kian, just with dark brown hair. He had sparkling blue eyes, just like his big brother. And he was annoying as hell, EXACTLY like his big brother.

"Barney does not rock, man" Kian said shaking his head.

Kevin then took Colm inside and Kian followed him. A few minutes later he went back outside.

"Sorry I left you here all alone. Come on in" Kian said as Samantha walked up to him, climbed up the three stairs leading to the front door and went inside the house.

They climbed up the stairs to the second floor. Samantha looked around on the wall and she saw all kinds of pictures of Kian and his brothers and sisters. There was one of Kian with 5 other people. He had his arm wrapped around the shoulder of one of them.

"That's my brother Tom and his band" Kian said when he noticed Samantha stopped to look at the picture. "Was taken just 3 days before he died"

"Oh�I'm sorry�" she said, looking up at him, he was a couple of steps above her.

"Come on, lets go to my room" he said and kept on climbing up the stairs.


"So this is my room" Kian said when they entered the room that was in the end of the second floor hall.

The whole room was covered with all the platinum awards Westlife ever got. On the side of his wardrobe Samantha saw loads of backstage passes when the most recent one was from the Glittering Gorgeous tour, her own tour.
He also had 2 electric guitars there, one acoustic guitar, a stereo and a large shelf full of CDs.
He had a big screen TV there, too, that was on MTV. They just played some Red Hot Chili Peppers video.

"Nice room" Samantha said.

"Yeah, a bit messy though" Kian said pointing at his bed. "Sit down"

Samantha sat down and looked at him as he sat down on the chair that was stood next to his desk.

"So answer me now, what are you doing here?" he asked, looking at her dead in the eyes.

"Well I've�I've decided to start a new life�find a new record company, make the music I love - country music, change my name and make people call me Samantha McKnight�and at least try to be with someone I love" Samantha said.

"Someone you love?"

"You"

"Me?"

"Yeah�if you'll agree to take me back�" Samantha said looking down at her nails. They looked absolutely perfect and she hated it. She didn't want to be Miss perfect anymore. She didn't want to be Sonia Ray anymore.

"Assuming I take you back, what promises me I won't have my heart broken again?" Kian asked.

"I promise you�no more Sonia Ray, I'll be someone else�I'll be the real me�no more being fake�no more lying to anyone�no more having my record company telling me what to do and with who to marry�" Samantha said. She was scared, terrified that he wouldn't want her back. Tears began to rolls down her cheeks and she wiped them off quickly, praying Kian didn't see them.

Kian then got up from his chair and kneeled down in front of her. He wiped another tear, that just rolled its way down her cheek, away. "Don't cry" he whispered. "Call me names, hit me�just don't cry"

Samantha smiled. She heard that one before. "So what do you say? Are you willing to give this little cowgirl another chance?"

Kian nodded slowly. "Yeah�" he said. "Yeah" he smiled at her and then kissed her.

The kiss seemed to last forever and when the kiss ended, Samantha felt like the happiest woman in the world, as corny as that sounded.
