Chapter 4
Shane was focused on the road, so he didn't see Gemma's face fall. He went on a bit more about the girl Kian was out to impress. He didn't say her name or what she did, but he did go on and on about how Kian always talked about her and the way he'd lose himself in daydreams of her. She just sat there, occasionally nodding and saying "mhm"...but inside, she wanted to scream. Whoever Kian's crush was, she sounded fantastic. Gemma wanted to disappear. All of a sudden, she felt really stupid. How could she have thought that there was something magical that had caused a connection between her and Kian when they'd crashed into each other? For all she knew he probably couldn't really have cared less about that one. Half an hour later, Shane parked his car in the curb right by Louis's gate. When he opened Gemma's door, she got out of the car but she was so shaky that she stumbled. Shane caught her just in time though. "You feeling alright?" She wasn't able to answer him straightaway; they were staring straight into each other's eyes and for a split second Gemma thought she felt a spark running through her. Then, as quickly as the moment had come about, it dissolved when Gemma started to laugh while slowly getting herself out of Shane's arms. "I'm good, I'm good. Just a little clumsy today." "If you say so, boss." "Don't call me that. Gemma is fine." "Yes bo-I mean yes, Gemma."
They made their way to Louis's front door, laughing and joking all the way. Gemma decided that she liked Shane; he was a great person to get along with, and he would prove to be a wonderous mate in the long run. When they got to the door, a maid let them in and said "Mr. Cowell is already here, and Mr. Kian's already begun to cook. Ms. Georgina is here; Mr. Nicky will be along shortly as well." For the second time, the sound of Kian's name made Gemma flinch. She suddenly remembered that woman Shane had been talking about, the one Kian was set on impressing that night. Now she was more nervous than ever. Oh why oh why oh why did she even bother getting her hopes up? If only she hadn't been so stupid as to even think that someone like... "Gemma, is that you?" Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice that seemed to come from a far distance. Gemma blinked and it took a few seconds for her to snap back to reality completely. The voice called her name again, and she turned around to find Kian standing a few feet away with a smile on his face. That gorgeous smile on his handsome face. And he was calling her name, talking to her! Why would he even remember her, especially since he already had what Shane had described as a "special someone", that he really liked? She had no idea what to do, so she just said "Oh hello, Kian" as nonchalantly as she could, turned on her heels and headed for the dining room.
There was no way she was going to let him see the tears that had started to build in her eyes.

Chapter 5
Kian watched her walk away and felt a pang of disappointment run through him. She hadn't seemed very happy to see him at all. That wasn't what he had expected; ever since the day they'd practically crashed into each other at the halls of the office he hadn't been able to get the sweet, pretty girl out of his mind. She'd been an interesting sight then-hair all in a messy bun, a shirt that said "I'm not Irish but you can kiss me anyway!" and somewhat tattered jeans tucked into a battered pair of sneakers-but there was something about her that had Kian mesmerized ever since that fateful day. If anything, he was all the more intrigued by her appearance that day.
Not that he didn't appreciate how she looked right then though: her chocolate brown hair was flowing freely, and her outfit consisted of tight black jeans and a peach-colored strapless number that accentuated her features perfectly. As she disappeared through the door into the dining room, he sighed and turned back towards the kitchen to find Shane standing in the hall. "You alright mate?" He had been standing there the whole time, silently watching the events unfold. "I guess so. I mean, what was I thinking expecting a girl like that to like a lad like myself?" Kian ran his fingers through his hair and sadly shook his head. "And besides, she's the new boss. I should really get a hold of myself or I'll crash and burn." Right after he'd said the last word he suddenly snapped back to reality. "Oh crap. I might've burned the lamb. Gaaah!" he made a mad dash for the kitchen. Shane laughed and decided he'd better go help, so he raced towards the kitchen too.
Meanwhile, in the dining room, Gemma, Georgina and Mark had been chattering away. As her father and Georgina's father had been mates for years, Gemma hadn't been nervous at all and struck up a conversation with the two with ease. Mark proved to be a soft-spoken, warm lad; that made things somewhat easier for Gemma even though in the back of her mind she was dreading the inevitable appearance of Kian's "special someone". She wanted desperately to ask Georgina or Mark, but she didn't want to give anything away so she just focused as much as she could on the topic at hand-the video for Westlife's new single Amazing, which was to be shot starting the next day. While they were talking, Mark's phone suddenly went off. He quickly scanned the display screen and almost immediately broke out into a cheeky grin. He turned to Georgina and said "Fiona!" before scurrying away to answer his call in private. It all happened so fast that Gemma was left with a shocked look on her face that had Georgina laughing. "Who's Fiona?" Gemma asked. "She's this girl from Liverpool that Mark's been crushing on for quite some time now. She's quite a doll, really. Very much Mark's type-brown hair, hazel eyes. A bit of a brainiac, but she knows how to have fun too. The lads and I have been trying to get Mark to ask her out on a date already, but he's too shy, the poor bloke." "Awww. But does she like him as well?" "She seems to, bless the stars. I like Fiona for Marky-we all do. Oh goodness. I tell you, that girl is quite the lucky one. I haven't seen Mark this over-the-moon over any woman he's ever had a crush on ever since this whole Westlife thing started." Georgina smiled at the thought of bubbly, sweet Fiona before continuing. "Fiona seems to be The One-for him, at least. I tell you, he's practically as mushy as Kian is. Speaking of whom, Kino's in love too--AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Georgina was cut short by Nicky's sudden appearance from behind her seat after which he started to tickle her like anything. [/color]

Chapter 6
Georgina was laughing so hard she couldn't finish her sentence anymore. A minute or two later, she calmed down enough to thwap Nicky on the arm. "Be good, will you? The boss might have something to say to you otherwise," with a nod at Gemma's direction. "Hello there!" Nicky said to Gemma. "You seem familiar-have we met before?" "She's Thomas's daughter, babe." Georgina offered. "The long-lost childhood friend I was telling you about." "Oh yes, now I remember you! We met in Louis's office before, didn't we?" Nicky continued. Gemma nodded. "I brought you guys pizza that day." It was then that Louis walked into the room. Seeing Gemma, he immediately walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Ah, Gem. Good, good. Nico and Gina have got you settled in. Shane's driving didn't prove to be a problem for you, did it?" At that, they all laughed; Shane was famous for driving his already fast cars really fast. "No, no. Shane drove fine," she answered. "Right then, where's Mark and Simon?" Louis asked. "I've just come from the kitchen, and the lamb's well done and the other stuff is just about ready. Which," he added with a pat to his belly, "is a good thing because I'm starving." "I've just gone and called him." Everyone turned to see Simon Cowell walking into the room. "He's still on the phone with Fiona. The real question should be where are Kian and Shane with our food, eh?"
Gemma froze. She was always nervous whenever Simon was around. He wasn't mean to her at all or anything, but he wasn't really that friendly either. In fact, whenever he was in the office, she did everything she could to avoid him completely. It didn't help that some of her officemates called him "Simon the Grouch" behind his back. Luckily, Georgina seemed to have picked up Gemma's vibe. "Si, have you met Gemma yet?" Simon turned to face Gemma...and he smiled. "Ah yes. Connor, right? Welcome to the insanity." Gemma smiled too, more a smile of relief than anything else. "Thank you, sir." "Don't call me sir," Simon tutted. "Simon is fine." "Right," Gemma smiled. "We were talking about the shoot tomorrow," Nicky suddenly piped up. "Oh yes, that. I have a few ideas for wardrobe..." Louis started. They all started talking about the video again.
After what seemed like ages, Shane finally walked into the room, carrying a huge bowl in one hand and a massive plate on the other. He was followed by a maid, whose hands were full as well. "Dinner is served," he said as he began setting the dishes down. He caught Gemma's eye and gave her a wink. She just smiled. Everyone else began to settle into their seats. "I thought you called Mark already," Louis remarked to Simon as he surveyed the people at the table. "And where in the world is our chef?" he added, turning to Shane.
Almost as if on cue, Mark entered the room. "I'm back," he said with a grin. "About time, Marky boy! Been talking to Fiona again, eh?" Louis remarked, waving Mark to a seat. "Erm...yeah." Mark sat down and rubbed his tummy. "Can we dig in now?" "We're waiting for the chef," Simon remarked. "Where is he, Shane? We're all hungry here." "When he was done with the cooking and all, he didn't smell or look very pleasant. And he can't afford to be that way tonight, as you probably know." Shane answered. He was fidgeting in his seat a bit; a cranky Simon was a nasty Simon, and nobody wanted that. Since he was seated right next to her, Gemma reached for his hand and gave it a small squeeze. He smiled. "Well, loverboy had better hurry. Or I'm going into that bathroom to get him!" Louis exclaimed, laughing.
Everyone else laughed-except, of course, Gemma. She was getting more and more antsy by the second--now she wanted the girl to show up already, just so she could know what she looked like. It didn't help that the only seats left were right next to her.
Just then, they heard a loud laugh that seemed to be coming from right outside the door that connected the dining room to the hallway - Kian's! Gemma took a deep breath. Sure enough, Kian walked in at that very moment. He looked so good that Gemma thought for sure she would faint on the spot. He was in a short-sleeved white muscle shirt and light blue jeans that accentuated his fit figure and highlighted his dreamy blue eyes. "Hey everyone, sorry I'm late. "
Much to Gemma's horror, however, a sultry brunette walked in after him. "Look who's come to join us!" [/color]

Chapter 7
She looked amazing-she was slightly tanned and had big, brown eyes. Her slim figure was very obvious by way of her outfit: a purple tank top under a perfectly-fitting black jacket and a pair of very tight denim jeans tucked into black boots. "Hey everyone," the beautiful girl said, casting a glance around everyone at the table. Nobody said a word; for some odd reason, it seemed as though everyone else was surprised to see the girl there. She seemed to be oblivious to it though, and so did Kian. "Right then, shall we start to dig in? I thought I burned the lamb, but luckily I didn't. It's just well-done." He made his way to the empty seat next to Gemma. Georgina muttered something, and Nicky mumbled in reply; everyone else started chattering away again too. The girl followed Kian, but instead of taking the seat on his other side-as Gemma expected-the girl made her way over to where Mark was seated.
"Whatever is the matter with you? Has a cat got your tongue or something? You haven't said a word since I walked in here." she put her hands on her hips and raised a brow at him. "I...uh..." Mark stuttered, at a loss for words. "I can't believe you're here!" "Why? Because you thought I'd be at Uni?" "Um. Yeah. I mean that's right, yeah. Thought you'd be at Uni." "Marcus, it's the middle of August." "Oops. I...erm...uh..." "Hmmm...so you thought I'd be home?" Mark just nodded. The girl laughed. "I came over to surprise you, silly. Kian helped me plan it."
At that, Gemma-who had been engaged in a bit of small talk with Shane about his horses while trying her best to ignore Kian-looked over to where Mark and the girl were. Did she just say that she was there for Mark? Then that would mean... "You are something else, Fi." Georgina laughed. "Look what you've done to poor Marky. He can barely say a word." Fi! Gemma's heart started racing. She shot Shane a questioning look. He answered her by calling the girl over. "Oi, Fiona, come over here a sec and let Mark get over his shock. This is our new roadie, Gemma Connor." Turning to Gemma, he added, "This is Fiona Ray. She's a good friend of Mark's from way back in our college days." Gemma was so relieved that she nearly hugged Fiona in delight. She managed to keep her cool though. "It's great to meet you!" she exclaimed. "It's wondrous to meet you too," Fiona said, flashing her pearly white teeth in a sweet smile. "So you're their new nanny, eh?" Gemma laughed. "Yup, that's me alright." "Oh my stars. Good luck. Haha. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go have a seat and start eating." Fiona went off and sat right next to Mark. "So, what are we talking about?"
"First things first!" Louis interrupted. "Lads, I would like to formally introduce you to Gemma Connor. She'll be your new road manager. As Fiona so wondrously put it, she's your new nanny of sorts. But you lot have met before, haven't ye?" Nicky and Shane answered "The pizza lady!" which cracked everyone else at the table up. "Again, Gemma, welcome to the insanity." Simon said. "Yes hun, welcome! I'm glad I'll be spending more time with you. We have so many years to catch up on!" Georgina exclaimed. "I'm glad you're on our team now," Shane piped up with that mega-watt smile. "What Shane said," Mark and Fiona said together. That got people laughing their heads off all over again. "Thank you, everyone," Gemma began. "I promise to do my best to do my job well...and to have fun. And Louis, Simon," she added, turning to her bosses, "I want to thank you especially for giving me this chance. And for trusting me. I won't let them kill each other, I promise." The four lads winced. "Hey!" Simon retorted "She's right you know. You four could very well be the end of each other." To Gemma, he said "No worries. You're very welcome."
Georgina, who had been sensing that something was wrong with her friend the whole night, suddenly said, "Is there anything else you want to say? Or something you want to ask?" Gemma froze for a bit, but then she realized she couldn't hold it in any longer. As calmly as she could, she said "Actually, I was just about to ask about our supposed special guest tonight." Everyone turned to look at her. "What special guest?" Nicky asked. "The girl Kian's mad about, of course." The silence and tension that followed went on for a good minute or so, with nobody being able to find the words to say anything. [/color]
