As the four of us walked through town shopping, there were many people that noticed and recognized the lads, so no one really suspected anything, they just thought that we were a couple of reporters doing our job. Keely and me found it quite amusing, we really looked quite pathetic, making up silly questions when people would come and talk to the lads, asking about the band… The guys couldn’t help but laugh either; Bryan kept making one joke after the other. If he wasn’t my boyfriend I could have killed him! We got a quite a bit of shopping done, and brought many gifts for everyone, Keely and me even snuck off to get the lads something nice, we both got them watches, but not identical, Shane was more into the classic but modern look, whereas Bryan was into the techno modern stuff, so we thought of getting them gifts along those lines.

Bryan and me then left for home as Keely and Shane took off for a restaurant, as we got home, I wanted to share as much time as I could in Bryan’s arms, together with him because as Shane had reminded me earlier, today was their last day with us for a short while, they were doing there promotional trips for the single Swear It Again, it was really important, so it meant that even though they were in London doing TV shows, I wasn’t going to see Bryan as much as I would have liked to.

Bryan and me had quite a bit of time on our hands, so we decided to sit and talk, he looked me straight in the eyes, with his hands cupping my face and said, "I promise to ring you everyday. You do realize that I won’t be getting any sleep because I’ll be so far away from you. I’m going to have to find some other girl to use my time on" he joked, "Don’t say that!" I said as I pulled him closer, "Bryan, my biggest fear is losing you, I can’t" He looked at me and kissed my forehead, "…remember, I said that it won’t come to that. I promise" he said as he pulled me towards him once again, "I love you" he muttered into my hair, "I couldn’t live without you if I tried". I just grasped him tight, "I never want to let go" I tearfully told him, "I don’t want anything but you. Ever". He looked at me, and moved my hair away from my face and gave me that smile again, we just sat there together, talking about nothing in particular, just talking.

Bryan and me sat there for some time then the phone rang, "Leave it" he said, whilst stroking my cheek with the back of his hand "whoever it is will go away", "As much I’d like to babe, I have to get it, it may be important" I said as I got up and walked towards the phone. "Hello?" I asked whilst looking at Bryan flicking through the channels on the TV, "Hi, Rav, is that you" said a familiar sounding male voice on the other end of the line, "Oh Hi Dom," I said to my understudy from work "What can I do for you", I asked, "Well," he started, "You guys are in charge of the press around that band Westlife or something" "Yes" I replied as my eyes widened and the expression on my face looked as though it had just rained on my parade. I looked over to Bryan, and lip synched "Damn", he walked over straightaway, "What?" he asked looking very concerned, I put my finger on my lip and carried on talking to Dom, "Yeh", He continued, "apparently one of them has been seen out with a girl, we don’t know who she is yet, but we have the picture in from a freelance photographer" "Alright Dom" I replied, "We’ll both be in ASAP" "Damn, damn, damn" I kept reiterating to myself as I put the phone down, "Dom just rang" I said looking at Bryan, "he said that there is a scoop on youse lot that we have to do. Bryan, what if he, wha, what, what if he knows about us?" I looked at Bryan he looked at me. He took me by the hand and sat me down, "Keep calm, it could just be nothing," he said looking totally unworried, I got up and screeched, "It’s easy for you, you haven’t made a promise. Bryan I can’t lose you, not now. I love you too much. But if this starts to have any effect on you guys then I know the first thing to go would be us." The tears started to stream down my face. I let Bryan know what I had been thinking about for so long, how I couldn’t face the fact that I would lose him. He looked stunned, but knew that I could be telling the truth; he looked at me and took hold of me "Go into work, get this thing sorted. You’ll see even if they do know about us, we WILL get through it, I promise" He looked me in the eyes, and all I had to do was look into his to know that he had meant exactly what he said, that was all the reassurance I needed.

I rang Keely’s mobile and told her everything, she told me that we would go in ASAP and to meet her in the office. As I walked into the office I saw it there on a table. I looked in complete disbelief I saw the picture it wasn’t of Bryan and me, in fact it was of Shane kissing a girl, she, with her back to the camera, was unrecognizable. ‘No!’ I thought to myself, it’s not Shane, he wouldn’t do that, but this kiss looked pretty full on. I couldn’t believe that this was happening, just then Keely walked in, "Come on then, show us our fate" I just looked up at her she knew that it wasn’t good news and rushed over, she looked down on the picture and looked at me, the expression on her face worse than mine, she dropped the picture on the table and went towards the door she shut it tight and looked at me "I can’t believe it" she said, "I, I, I …"

Huh!!! Shane's been cheating????!!
Oh no!!!!! Bryan better be faithful to me...cos us journalists can get meanie y'know!!!
