3 weeks have passed since the opening night of Sonia Ray's tour. They were now in New Jersey.

"Peppa! Peppa!" Sonia shouted walking inside the arena.

Peppa came running to her like a dog.

"Come here Peppa, come here girl, look, here's a candy for ya for being such a good girl" Kian said mockingly. He was sitting on the stage with Mark and Nicky that elbowed him right at the same time, one from each side. "Oh for fuck's sake, what did you do that for?" Kian asked getting pissed.

Sonia chose to ignore him. She has been ever since the opening night. After what happened in his dressing room, she couldn't bare to even look at his direction because it made her think of that night, a thing she just wanted to forget.

"Peppa, where's my schedule for today?" Sonia asked.

"Oh, I forgot all about it" Peppa said. "Here it is" she handed Sonia something she pulled out of her bag.

"Joint interviews with Westlife?" Sonia asked as she placed her stylish sunglasses on top of her long blonde hair and started reading the page Peppa just gave her.

"Yep, only with two of them though - Kian and Bryan. It's for two British magazines. The one for Smash Hits you'll do with Kian and the one for TOTP with Bryan" Peppa explained.

"Um�can I do the Smash Hits one with Nicky instead?" Sonia asked.

"No, not really. Nicky's doing an interview with Shane and Mark for The Rolling Stones today so he won't have the time" Peppa said.

"Oh God�" Sonia said. She had to have a word with Kian now, he might get pissed off at her and tell in that interview that they slept together - which will be an absolute disaster for her. She was known everywhere as a virgin. She said in thousands of interviews that she's going to wait until her wedding with Justin before she loses her virginity. And that was another thing - Justin!

"Egan! Egan!" Sonia said running after Kian as he was on his way to Westlife's tour bus.

"What do you want?" Kian said, not really interested.

"I need to talk to you about the interview we need to do together in an hour" Sonia said.

"What about it?" Kian asked, getting into the bus.

"You're not going to blab about what happened on the opening night of the tour, right?" Sonia asked, getting into the bus after him.

"Yes, in fact, I will" Kian said walking towards the back of the bus. "We sang�and then you went on stage and sang"

"And then?" Sonia asked.

"What's the matter, Miss Ray?" he said turning around to face her as she froze. His face was just a few inches from hers. "You're afraid I'll tell them me and you had a little somethin' somethin' going on at my dressing room? Or maybe you're afraid I'll tell them you are not a virgin, and weren't much of a virgin even before you and me got busy on the couch in my dressing room?" he asked smiling.

"You son of a bitch, how do you know that?" she asked.

"Men know, they always know when it's a chick's first time" he said. "And I thought you don't curse?" he asked as his smile got bigger and bigger.

Sonia closed her eyes trying to hold in all her anger but she couldn't hold it in any longer. She jumped on him and started kissing the hell out of him.

They stood there kissing for what seemed like ages. Finally they pulled away in order to breathe.

"You know Miss Ray," Kian said. "I think you have the hots for me" he said walking into the bedroom that was at the end of the tour bus and shutting the door after him.

Sonia stood there biting her lip. She then ran out of the bus and back to her tour bus where she went into the bedroom that's at the back and locked the door behind her. She collapsed on the bed and closed her eyes.

"I'm falling for Egan�no! I can't be!"

"Hello Sonia" a woman with a thick British accent said as Sonia entered the room where her next interview for the day was to take place, the interview for Smash Hits, the one she was supposed to do with Kian. "How nice of you to join us" the woman continued pointing on Kian that was already sitting there on the couch flipping an issue of some magazine, Smash Hits, Sonia assumed. "Sit down please" the woman said. "I'm Linda and I'm the interviewer from Smash Hits, can we begin please?"

"Don't ask her, just begin" Kian said not picking his eyes up from the magazine. "She was late, it's her fault we're off schedule here" he continued, still without picking his eyes up.

Sonia wanted to answer him back so bad but she decided to shut up. She knew he could tell this Linda person every moment now about what happened on the opening night of the tour, or worst, that she wasn't even a virgin when that happened and that, was definitely NOT her first time.

"Very well�first question, tell me Sonia, what do you think of Westlife so far?" Linda asked smiling sweetly, too sweetly, Sonia thought.

"To be honest with you, I don't know. I've only seen them performing one song at the rehearsal, but haven't seen their show" Sonia said, that made Kian pick his eyes up from the magazine so fast it made Sonia jump a little, she wasn't expecting it.

He looked at her for a while. "Next question please" he finally said, breaking the awkward long silence.

"Ok, Kian, what did you and the lads think of Sonia?" Linda asked.

"Nicky's mad about her. He's a big fan. He watches her perform every night. He knows all her songs by heart and is singing along. Bryan watched her once, on the opening night. Now he's just spending hours talking to his wife and daughters on the phone all of the time. Lilly's nearly 2 now and he vocabulary is amazing for a 2-year-old. She's really smart, just like her big sister Molly. As for Mark, he's more into Mariah Carey so he also watched only the opening night and the rest of the shows just sat in his dressing room, watching Mariah Carey concerts on video. He said Sonia's show was amazing though. Shane watches the show every once in a while. The rest of the time he sits backstage and chats to our security guards, our tour manager or Gillian, his wife, on the phone." Kian said.

"And what about you?" Linda asked. "What do you think of Sonia's show?"

"I haven't watched it yet. Was too busy getting ready for our show" Kian said coldly.

"Ok, which city did you enjoy the most so far?"

"New York city was pretty nice" Kian said. "But I can't wait till we get to LA, I love LA, it's the coolest place in America"

"I loved DC the most, it's our lovely capital, after all. And I got to sing in front of the president of the United State, which was nice because George Bush is such a darling. And the audience there was amazing, couldn't stop screaming, 'We love you Sonia'" Sonia said as Kian let out a snore. "Excuse me, but what was that suppose to mean?" Sonia asked, getting pissed off.

"You are so centered in yourself it's amazing. Instead of thinking of how cool it was to see the audience sings along or see the smiles on their faces, saying they enjoy the show, you think of how much love they showed you. You need to get your priorities straight." Kian said flipping a page in the magazine. "Gareth Gates dyed his hair GREEN???" he said looking shocked at the page he just flipped to.

"It's not a new look of his," Linda laughed. "It's just for the Christmas issue we took photos of the celebrities in the Christmas spirit so Gareth dressed as one of Santa's elves and he thought it'd be cool to dye his hair green for the shot"

"Oh, I got freaked out, you know? I mean, we leave the UK & Ireland for two months and look what happens!" Kian laughed and Linda laughed with him.

Sonia just sat there speechless. She didn't have the slightest idea who is Gareth Gates and what are they talking about. She just put on her charming smile at them.

The interview was just about to be over and Sonia thanked God for it.

"Ok last question - who's better, the Americans or the Irish, and why?" Linda asked.

"Irish obviously" Kian said. "We're the cheery bunch of the world, always happy, always up for a party. We sing better too, we have better artists like U2, Ronan Keating, Samantha Mumba and of course, us Westlife lads. Besides, the Irish women are a lot better looking than the Americans. The American women are just ugly"

Sonia's jaw dropped down. She must top that, he just threw out a pretty obvious hint saying she's not beautiful and Sonia just couldn't stand that. "Well the Irish are a bunch of drunken brutes. Sure, they're always happy, that's because they drink half the bar during a party, that's also why their parties are so loud. And as for the Americans, we are the most powerful country in the world. And our music is obviously the best. Take Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson for example. Or *N Sync!" Sonia said as Kian snored once again.

"She's just saying *N Sync because her boyfriend is in it" Kian said.

"He's my fiance for your information" Sonia said.

"Boyfriend, fiance, does it really matter?" Kian asked.

"Yes it does!"

"Not like he's going to actually marry you, he'll be back with Britney in no time" Kian said smiling evilly as he saw the look on Sonia's face.

"He won't go back together with Britney, they are over, he loves me now" Sonia said.

"Are you saying this to convince me, or yourself? Because I honestly couldn't care less" Kian said.

They both seemed to forget there's an interviewer in the room that had her tape recorder on, taping everything they said.

"That's it, I'm not going to keep sitting here and listening to you saying bad things about Justin. He's a great guy and I love him, that's all that matters to me" Sonia said getting up and running out of the room.
