*Chapter 20*

Carlos was wandering around the hotel trying to think of something to do, the other guys had all paired up with their girls and disappeared to do their own things. He wandered down to the bar and ordered himself a coffee. He was still waiting for it to arrive when his phone rang. He looked at the call screen and smiled when he saw it said ‘Red’ he answered it with “Hey baby, how are you doing?” He talked to her for a while then hung up the phone and went back to doing nothing. Michelle left her office and went down the hall a bit to Jane’s and went in shutting the door behind her and said “I just spoke to Carlos and he sounds awfully sad. They have a day off and all the other guys have their girls with them and have gone of by themselves and left him all alone.” Jane looked up and said “That’s not very nice is it” “I know, that’s why I’m here.” Jane looked at her friend and said “What are you planning Mich?” Michelle looked at her friend and said “I’ve never been able to get that kiss out of my mind and I can still feel it even now. I think I’m ready to take the next step with Carlos now.” Jane smiled and said “I’m so pleased to hear that Mich, but you do realise that they’re touring America at the moment, he’s not going to have any time to come over here and spend with you.” Michelle grinned and said “I know, that’s why I’m going to go to America and surprise him.” Jane stared at her friend and said “How exactly are you going to do that?” Michelle said “Well, I have got plenty of holiday time owing as all I’ve done since you know who is bury myself in my work, so the time off is not a problem. I know where about in America they are because he gave me a copy of their itinerary, so I would be able to work out the time differences etc.. So all I need to do is book my flights and find a way to tell one of the other guys I’m coming” She smiled at Jane then disappeared out of her office as quick as she had appeared.

Sonia and Seb had chosen to not leave the hotel or their room. They had ordered breakfast and lunch off room service and had spent most of the morning in bed just lying in each others arms and talking about what was going to happen now that Sonia was going to be around all the time. Then they had started talking about the wedding plans and when they were going to actually get married. They finally settled on a date that didn't cause major hassles to Seb's schedule and said that all they needed now was to decide where they were getting married. After they had eaten lunch they moved from the bed and curled up on the sofa together and watched a movie on the tv. Seb had fallen asleep halfway through the film and Sonia looked at him now, he looked so peaceful with his head leaning back on the sofa. She decided to leave him sleeping and went for a shower. She had only been in it for a few minutes when she heard the door opening, but didn't turn round. She smiled as she felt his arms go round her waist and she twisted round so that she was facing him. She kissed him then said "I thought you were sleeping?" He kissed her back and said "I was, but i must have sensed you'd moved as i woke up to find you gone." He kissed her again then as the water was coming down over the two of them and he walked her carefully backwards to lean against the shower wall then he started kissing every part of her from top to bottom. Sonia was shivering from all the contact and he pulled her into his arms again and she wrapped her legs around him as he finally made love to her. Afterwards he wrapped her up in a towel and carried her back through to the bedroom where they went back to bed.

Urs had hired a motorbike for the day and him and Auds were off on that riding out of the city and through more quieter lanes and roads. Auds was hanging on tightly to Urs as she had never been on a bike before and he was going very fast. They came to a stop eventually and Urs helped Auds off the bike and said "Are you okay?" Auds nodded and said "I didn't realise it was so much fun to ride a bike, its always looked so scary when they speed past you on the road." Urs grinned and said "I'll have you riding your own bike yet." then laughed at the look of fear that passed over Auds face. She shook her head and said "I think i'll just stick to riding behind you, that way i get to hang on tight to you" and grinned at him.
She looked around her and said "Where are we?" He took her hand and said "This is just another way i came up with to apologise for being an idiot, the concert was just part one." He walked towards a gate in the wall next to them and opened it and led her through and they walked round the side of this building. Auds gasped as she saw a beautiful picnic laid out on the ground with a bunch of red roses as the centrepiece of the rug. She turned to Urs and said "When did you do all this? you haven't left my side all morning." He grinned and said "I didn't do it, i hired it from a company and they came and set it up for me. I'm glad you like it." They walked over to where it was and sat down beside each other. Urs handed Auds the roses and she smelled them and then kissing him said "These are beautiful baby, but i don't think they'll survive the bike ride home." Urs smiled and said "Don't worry, they aren't coming home with us, the company comes back and packs everything up and delivers anything that’s needed to where the person is staying." Auds smiled up at him and said "You really have thought of everything, haven't you." He kissed her then said as he could feel her hands creeping their way up his legs "Should we not eat first?" Auds grinned as she let her hands carry on what they were doing and said "I'm not that hungry...for food anyway...She could feel Urs' breathing getting deeper and she turned and kissed him hard on the lips. He tried to put his arms round her waist but she pushed them away saying with a twinkle in her eye "No touching, just sit back and enjoy" he groaned and pulled his hands away reluctantly. She got to the top of his jeans and started to pull at the buckle opening it. She threw it off to the side and opened the top button and the other buttons. She left it there and moved up to the t-shirt which she pulled up his body with her hands and over his head. She placed a trail of kisses down his body until she reached the top of his jeans again. She pushed him back gently so that he was lying and she managed to remove his jeans. She reached over and took one of the roses he'd given her and started to run the flower over his body. He shivered at the touch and had to use all his strength not to grab hold of her and take over. Eventually, just when he couldn't stand it anymore and was about to reach out for her, she stopped and leant down and whispered something in his ear. He smiled and said something back then they finally gave in to each other and made love out in the open air.
After that they had eaten the gorgeous picnic and then Urs had driven them back to the hotel on the bike.

Everyone was back at the hotel that night except for David and Janice who were staying overnight at the house. They had all met up in the bar for a drink after dinner and were talking away amongst themselves when Carlos' phone rang. He answered it with "hello" and smiled when he heard Michelle on the other end. He was talking to her when Steve appeared and said "Carlos, i need to talk to you right away." Carlos looked at him and pointed to the phone. Steve said "I'm sorry it won't take long, but i have to talk to you now." Carlos sighed and said "Michelle, i have to go talk to Steve for a minute, you don't mind talking to Seb while i'm away do you?" Michelle couldn't believe her luck, she still hadn't figured out how to get in touch with one of the other guys and here was Carlos actually giving her to one of the guys to talk to. She quickly said "No, i don't mind, take your time babe." she heard nothing for a minute then this French voice said "Hey Michelle" She said "hello" back and then very quickly said "I'm planning on flying out to meet you guys and Carlos, but i don't want him to know i'm coming." Seb was grinning and said "That’s wonderful, Carlos will love it, when are you coming? I'll get someone to pick you up at the airport." "Aww thanks Seb, that’s sweet of you, but i haven't booked it yet, I was going to do that after i'd talked to him." Seb looked round too see where Carlos was then said "I'll give you my number and then you can just phone me when you know everything." He gave her his number then said "He's coming back. i'll see you soon." Michelle smiled to herself then said "Thanks Seb" then she heard Carlos' voice again. She talked to him for a while then they hung up.

*2 days later*

Michelle was standing in a strange airport wondering which way to go. She had booked her flight after she had got off the phone with Carlos and had phoned Seb with all the details later on. He'd said that there would be someone there to meet her, but she had no idea who it was going to be.
She walked through the arrivals lounge and towards the doors. She still couldn't see anyone who looked like they were looking for her when she heard a voice behind her saying "Michelle" She turned round and came face to face with Seb and Sonia. She smiled and said "Seb, I didn't think you would come yourself, i thought you were going to send someone." He smiled then said "I was, but then i realised that the less people who knew about this the better the chance was of Carlos not finding out." He gave her a hug then and said "Do you remember Sonia?" Michelle nodded and said "Yeah, you were together the last time i met you in Paris." Sonia nodded and said "That was just before Seb here asked me to marry him, i've just started to travel with him and the guys all the time." Michelle grinned and hugged her saying "That’s great news hun." Seb looked around and said "We'd better get out of here before people start to realise who i am." then laughed and said "That sounded so bigheaded didn't it."
They led Michelle out to the car Seb had hired and they drove back to the hotel. Michelle went and booked herself into a room as Sonia and Seb kept watch for Carlos. They walked up to her room with her and then took her to Carlos' room. They left her alone there, saying they would see her later, maybe." Michelle blushed and then knocked on the door. She heard footsteps then it opened to reveal Carlos. His face went white with shock at seeing who was standing there and he said "Michelle, what, how, when, where?" Michelle grinned and said "Well, hello to you too, am i not allowed inside?" Carlos shook himself out of the trance he'd seemed to go into and said "Of course, i'm sorry." He stood to the side and let her in then he shut the door behind her. He walked over to the bed and sitting down said "How did you get here?" She smiled and said "I felt so sorry for you the other day when i was talking to you and the others had all gone off and left you, that i booked myself onto a flight and came to spend some time with you. I gave Seb all the details and him and Sonia just picked me up at the airport." He shook his head and said "They've known you were coming for 2 days and never let on, wait til i see them." he grinned then looking at her said "God, i've missed you Red. Would you mind if i kissed you?" Michelle smiled shyly then said "Well, i didn't fly halfway across the world to say no to a question like that." Carlos grinned and put his hand under her chin and lifted her face up to his and kissed her, softly at first then more deeply as she started to respond to him. They broke apart and said "How long can you stay?" Michelle looked at him and ran a hand through his hair and said "I took two weeks of work, but i can arrange for more if i want it." Carlos smiled and said "well, we'll have to see how things go" then he kissed her again.

The time that David and Janice had both been dreading had finally arrived. It was her last night with them and she really didn't want to go home, they were in their room getting ready as they were all going out after the show that night for a meal and some drinks to say goodbye to her. She turned to see David lying on the bed wearing just his boxers watching her. She smiled at him and said "Are you not going to get ready?" David shook his head and said "I thought i would just do the show like this tonight." Janice laughed and said "I'm sure all your diva's will love that!" David grinned then said "Maybe I should just keep this look for the one extra special diva in my life." then he patted the bed and said "Come here." Janice shook her head. David tried not to smile as he patted the bed again and said "Jan, come here." She shook her head again and turned away from him to hide the grin on her face. David got up of the bed quietly and walked over to her and putting one arm round her waist he pulled her hair out of the way with the other and started to nibble on her bare neck. he leaned back into him and sighed. They stood like that for a few minutes then David's phone rang. He groaned and tried to ignore it, but it kept ringing. He let go of Janice and answered it. "David, its mum, i've got some bad news." David immediately looked worried and said "What’s happened mum?" Janice came and sat down beside him. "Its Jodie" said his mum. David sighed and said "What has she done now?" There was a silence then he heard "She's gotten herself fired from her latest job. That’s the 5th job in 4 months. She's getting more and more out of control and you're the only one she ever listens to." David ran his free hand through his hair and said "I know, but i can't come home at the minute, we're in the middle of our tour." "I know that David and i know that you would if you could, I wondered if she would be able to go with you for a while? She might calm down a bit if she has your influence on her and the change of place might be good too." David looked at the watch Janice had just put in front of his face and his eyes widened. "Mum, i really got to go, I have to be at the arena in 10 minutes and i'm not even dressed yet. I'll talk to Steve and see what he says, I love you." He hung up and looked at Janice who said "Jodie?" David nodded and said "I'll tell you all about my little sisters antics in the car." then he got dressed quickly and they left.
