Chapter 21

~ Tilky ~

-          Well now that I�m practically not a member of a girl group any more. My first duty as an ex-pop star is to give you a kiss., Bek said to me as we walked into our house.

-          Well who can say no to that?, I laughed.

-          I don�t know what I�m going to do. I mean I want to work with music., she said to herself.

-          Really? You can be my fashion mistress., I said smiling.

-          I�m sure I can., she said before kissing me.

-          I think I may like that., I said kissing her back.

-          But I�m worried about Karlie., she said as she pulled away from me.

-          There goes the moment. Look Karlie will be okay., I sighed.

-          But she is heart broken! We all kind of knew where she didn�t have the foggiest., Bek sighed.

-          Well the moment is officially gone., I said shaking my head.

-          Sorry Tilky�

-          Na it�s okay. I know your worried about Karlie and I am too. But Ryan will be there for her. She will accept it., I said smiling.

-          Maybe but I don�t know. What will she do? While we all go into silence?

-          What she does best., I said knowingly.

It was hard to leave Bekah in the situation that they are, but I had no choice, because I had a rehearsal with the guys in a couple of minutes. I said my �Good-Bye� to her and ended with a a tender kiss, before I hopped into our car and drove to where the rehearsal would be held.

Even an hour had passed by, it seemed like an eternity. I just wished to get home to Bekah and to know how she�s feeling so far. But honestly, I just hope that all the girls will be going okay, especially Karlie and Buffy. Because after Buffy was the one who announce the break-up first and just hated to see everyone hurt.

-          Well how about if you add that roll when TJ does that rap?, Ryan asked as we went over some moves for the tour.

-          If I do that it would take the spot light off him and he doesn�t like that., I joked.

-          Guys give it a rest!  You go on tour soon and you have to prove how good you really are. So you have to work hard to make it., Lissy said.

-          Or have rich famous girls!, Clay added laughing.

-          God! You�re almost as bad as the girls. Not only that I think you�re worse!, Lissy sighed..

-          That�s why you love us?, I asked her.

-          No that why I choreograph for you, cause I know what you like.

-          That or you live on a power trip telling us what to do?, Ryan asked.

-          That�s it! The fact I get to tell you famous people off., she said while clicking her fingers.

-          I knew it! I thought you loved us!, TJ said pretending to be hurt.

-          If I said that I�m sure that four girls who are watching won�t be happy., I laughed.

-          Dam straight we won�t!, Tiff called out.

-          Where�s your woman?, Clay asked Ryan.

-          She�s around. She has been sitting around quiet lately. But she�s gradually getting over this., Ryan said.

-          Guys she�ll deal so lets get to work okay? I want to get home to my woman., I said.

-          Aight and to do what?, TJ called out saluting me before having funny look on his face.

A couple of rehearsals, hours and days had passed by and it was finally the day that we�re going on tour. I was pretty psyched about but yet also a little bit down. I mean, I won�t see Bekah for at least two months and that�s the downfall about it. I invited her if she would like to join me on the tour, but she said that she rather won�t, because she might spend a lot of time with the girls, just to talk things through and of course, I accepted her wishes.

-          Will you stop that?, Bek asked as I kissed her neck.

-          Why? I won�t see you for two months, please?, I murmured in her neck.

-          Tilky, at home is one thing but in front of all the others is a different story.

-          Two months!, I said stopping.

-          Phone calls!, Bek said to me winking.

-          More like phone sex., Karlie said walking past.

-          Well she�s more like her old self., I joked.

-          Yeah. Buffy and her talked last night. Karlie�s going to be doing some solo stuff and apparently she might go actor on us., Bek stated.

-          I could actually see her doing that!

-          Alright guys lets go!, Andrew called out who was going on the tour with them.

-          We�re coming!, Clay called out.

Everyone that we knew were there to send their �Good-Bye�s� and such. It felt good to see everyone that was there to support us all the way and always believe in us. And Steve was even there! It was such a great feeling.

-          On the road again!, Clay started to sing.

-          Shut up! You could at least sing something good., TJ said.

-          Or something we may enjoy., Ben from Natural added.

-          Guys! We just left and you�re picking on me already? Ry help me!, Clay complained.

-          Dude you dig your own grave!, his brother said looking out the window.

-          Miss your woman already?, I said to Ryan as a joke.

-          Hey at least I don�t have her mark on me!, he replied as he pointed to the hickey on my neck.

-          Is that because Karlie didn�t give you one or she has hidden it out of sight?, TJ asked laughing.

-          Oh can we not talk about girlfriends for at least this whole bus trip?, Andrew called out.

-          You�re dating good friends of mine and I hate hearing this!, he added.

-          Well I guess no bed talk then., I joked.

-          Definitely not! Especially if you do the talking!, Andrew said.

-          Hey guys!, Greg said coming from the back of the bus.

-          What are you doing here?, I asked shocked to see him.

-          Did you think I would miss out on a all bloke tour? That�s sacrilege., he said.

-          Greg? Why didn�t you just ask if you could come?, I asked laughing.

-          Where�s the fun in that?, Greg asked.

* A Few Hours Later *

-          " 59 bottles of beer on the wall, 59 bottles of beer, you take one down pass it around, 58 bottles of beer on the wall.�, Clay sung out of boredom.

-          How long has he been doing that?, I asked as I woke up from sleeping.

-          He started on 200., Ryan said looking at me.

-          You�re kidding me?

-          Nope! I�m suffering from �Monotonous Brother Syndrome� and withdraws from Karlie.

-          Message her! Simple as that!, I laughed.

-          Na she can�t. Cause we made a bet. The first person to message the other is kinkier than the other., Ryan laughed.

-          You two are weird! And Nick was right. We made WAY too many bets!, I said shaking my head.

-          �50 bottles of beer on the wall.�, TJ sung with Clay.

-          You know what? I have decided that I will kill them two if they don�t shut up., Marc called out.

-          We tried! They�re invincible!, I called out.

-          There�s gotta be a way to shut them up., Patrick said.

-          I got an idea but I don�t know if it will work., I said.

-          What?, Ryan asked.

-          Ring TJ�s mobile, but make sure they don�t know you�re calling.

-          Okay?, Ryan said uncertainly before he composed TJ�s mobile number and I picked it up before he could answer it.

-          Hello?, I said answering the phone.

-          What�s he doing?, I hear J asked Ryan.

-          Tiff! Oh hey how are you? Good! Miss little TJ do you? He�s what? Not little? Aw Tiff! I definitely didn�t need that!, I said trying not to laugh while TJ tried to get the phone off me.

-          Give him the phone! He�s in need of phone sex!, Ryan said laughing catching on.

-          Dee�s with you? What�s going on?, I said laughing at the faces of TJ and  Clay.

-          Oh man give it here!, TJ said looking interested.

-          Well Tiff, I�m sorry but TJ is a little preoccupied to come to the phone right now. But if you want you can tell me what you and Dee are doing together.

-          Oh give it here!, Clay said trying to get the phone.

-          Tiff I gotta go! Sorry bye!, I said before giving TJ his phone.

-          Oh man! I�m SO gonna kick your ass!, Clay said to me.

-          I�m going to call Dee., Clay said before he rang to her mobile.

-          This will be good!, I said to Ryan.

-          Hey Dee! How are you? Good! Why did I? Well I thought since you�re not at home. What? You are? But? Weren�t you at Tiff�s?, Clay said on his phone.

-          Tilky!!!!, TJ said yelling.

-          No it�s okay. I better go! Love you! Bye!, he said before hanging up.

-          What?, I asked innocently while TJ and Clay looked at me.

-          Hey Tilky! Don�t worry they just aren�t pleased cause their dream wasn�t coming true., Ryan said laughing.

-          I�m going to kill you!, Clay said before I laughed.

-          Well at least you won�t be singing crap songs as I die!

-          Tilky you suck!, TJ said still not believing he had a joke played on him.

-          I think they really wanted those girls to be doing that., Ryan said to me still laughing.

-          Come on like its not a guys fantasy to have their girl kiss another girl., I laughed.

-          Karlie�s not doing anything with Bek!, Ryan said.

-          I know! Karlie�s not Bek�s type., I said.
