find Steve
or Joe, and ask them to pass her a message.  That way I’ll already be gone and
won’t spoil her fun.  
    Trying not to draw too much attention to
myself.  I cast my gaze over the crowd looking for them, only for my eyes to
land on AJ, and draped all over him is Melody Forrester.  Conscious of myself
staring at them, I pull my gaze away, just as he glances at me with narrowed
eyes and a frown on his face.  Hell!  If looks could kill.  Why is he so mad? After
all, he’s the one who asked us to come.  
    Feeling my face burning up with
embarrassment, I frantically cast an eye over the crowd.  Spotting Steve over
by the bar talking to Zack, I quickly push my way through the crowd, and gently
touching his arm to gain his attention, I lean into him, so he can hear me
above all the noise.
    “Steve will you do me a favour? I don’t
want to interrupt Jen as she’s talking to Razor.  Will you just let her know
I’ve gone back to our room? Tell her all’s okay, and to stay and have fun.  If
I tell her, she’ll want to come with me, and I don’t want to spoil it for her.”
    “Sure.  Hey,
are you okay?” he asks concerned with narrowed eyes.
    “I’m fine.  I’ve just had enough.” I reply.
    In more ways than one.
    “It’s been fun.  Please thank the guys for
me.” I smile and lightly place my hand on his arm and mouth “bye”, before
making my way through the throng towards the door.  As I reach it, I prevent myself
from turning around and glancing back one last time.  What’s the point of
torturing myself? I was kidding myself anyway; it was all a dream.  What was I
expecting? For him to fall for me? That’s a laugh.  If anything he was probably
only after a one night stand.  What is it they say? Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’
roll.  Well!  He wouldn’t have gotten that from me anyway.
    But if I had turned around, I’d have seen
AJ staring after me, watching as the door closes behind me.
    I head towards the lift, smiling at the
bodyguards as I pass by.  They must see this all the time.  They certainly
don’t seem fazed by women coming and going around here.  
    It doesn’t take long until I’m back at our
room.  I tiptoe in as quietly as I can, making sure the door closes silently
behind me.  I don’t want to wake Davy up, especially as she’ll want the
post-mortem on events.  I quickly strip out of my clothes, and crawl between
the sheets of the bed I’m sharing with her.  Curling up into a ball, I will
sleep to come claim me.  My last thought as I drop off, is that I still never
managed to get a photo or an autograph.
     
    *****
     
    I wake up the next morning, and lie there
with my eyes closed; listening to the sound of the shower running, wondering
which of the girls is up and about.  I soon receive my answer, as on hearing
the bathroom door open, I open my eyes and watch as Davy walks in, wrapped up in
a towel.  I follow her gaze, and observe the empty bed where Jen was supposed
to sleep.
    “Well it appears Jens pulled as usual.” I
smile. “I left her talking to Razor.” I add with a smirk.  
    Davy bursts out laughing. “I should have
known.  That girl has always struck out to get exactly what she wants.  I take
it you didn’t?” she observes questioningly.  
    I grimace at her “Don’t even go there.  I’ll
tell all in a minute, just let me get my head together first.” I beg, as I climb
out of bed and scurry into the bathroom, and take care of business.
    Peering into the mirror over the hand basin,
I stare at myself, shocked that I look the same.  I’m surprised there isn’t a
sign on my forehead saying ‘idiot’, seeing as that’s how I feel.  Taking a deep breath to compose myself, I open the door and
walk out, prepared to tell all to Davy.
    Half an
hour later, I’ve just finished my tale of ‘Happy ever after that went wrong’, when
we hear the lock on the door clicking.  Our heads swivelling in unison, we stare
at Jen as she walks
