Chapter 4

"Right guys, you know the deal. Britain's worried about the citizens health and well…Louis needs to lose a few pounds!" Simon said and everyone present laughed. "Today is jam packed today of loads of 'fun' things to do."

"I thought Simon didn't do fun!" Laura giggled to Diana, which in turn made her chuckle.

"We will be running, Basketball, Badminton, Tag Rugby and if you do good we'll dip in the pool for a bit. Okay?" Everybody nodded, the contestants in their trackies. "Lets get going then."

"Wait for us!!!" A voice whined from a distance. "Oh no, they are going to leave without us! Slow down I can't run in high heels!"

Everyone turned around to see Dermot and of course Cheryl in the high heels running up towards them. Simon stood stony faced – not at all impressed, Louis looked as if he didn't know what the hell was going on. Laura and Diana were trying extremely hard not to fall to the ground in laughter.

"Oh my god, look at the way her boobs jump up and down!" Laura whispered to Diana.

"Oh sorry, I'm late!" Cheryl said through gasps of air. The other contestants were giving it all they could to just not collapse at that time whereas Laura was just staring. Diana made her way over to Dermot who appeared as if the long distance run had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Would you like some water?" Her voice came out of nowhere and startled him. He looked up at Diana and grinned.

"No thanks sweetheart, I'm fine." Diana's face fell.

"But – you – you just ran like 6 miles!" Diana exclaimed. Dermot looked at her confused and then fell about laughing.

"It was about 30 metres Diana."

"Well, I can hardly run 30 cm!" Diana huffed, folding her arms. Dermot raised his eyebrow.

"And I work out – a lot." He added.

"Yeah, I can tell…" She muttered, praying to God he hadn't heard it. She assumed he hadn't as he was doing his stretches no longer looking at her.

--

"No don't throw to me!! Ahhh-" Cheryl fell on the floor, the ball bouncing to the corner of the large, plain room. "I told you not to throw it to me!" Eoughan chuckled.

"Sorry Cheryl. Gut instinct." Cheryl groaned and Laura – missing the ball, which resulted in complaints from the Alex and Austin – ran over to Cheryl helping her up and pecking her on the cheek. Diana made 'ahh' sounds and grinned to herself but soon after she was on the floor.

"Ow." Diana grumbled, placing her hand on her forehead.

"Are you okay?" His voice was filled with concern, yet there was a faint chuckle to his voice. Diana nodded but still scowled. Dermot took his hand and stroked it softly on her forehead; Diana removed her hand so he could touch all of her head. His skin was so soft, so cold pressed upon her warmth.

"Why don't you and me sit this one out?" Dermot asked and Diana could only manage a small smile. Dermot held out his hand, which Diana gladly took. They both stood up and Dermot wrapping his arm round her waist directed her to the chairs.

Cheryl and Laura leaned against the wall, looking directly at Diana and Dermot together, not even bothering to make it look like they weren't looking at them – they were too busy staring at each other anyway.

"Aww look at them, Cheryl. They are so adorable together." Laura said in a half-whisper.

"I know." Cheryl stated, already fully aware of the attraction that lay between them. When were they going to wake up and realise their feelings for each other were shared?

"Aw, just look at the way Dermot's staring at her!"

"Oh and the way he just touched her hand!" The girls squealed and giggled together.

"Girls!" Simon bellowed, automatically stopping them, he moved his head in a slight movement to the right and Laura and Cheryl headed right back the game. Simon looked at Diana and Dermot together and sighed, he strolled over to them.

"What's the problem here?" Simon stood in front of them, arms folded, a scowl plastered across his face. Diana and Dermot looked up at him, shattering their moment, Diana looked as if she thought Simon was going to eat or something. She shivered at the thought and Dermot immediately put his hands over Diana's as if to soothe her. Simon rolled his eyes.

"What's the problem Diana?" She shook her head.

"Erm…I fell and I was just sitting out for a few minutes. I'll join in, in a minute." She replied uneasily. Simon scowled again and looked at his watch.

"There's only ten minutes left. You might as well not bother getting back in. I take it you'll be sitting out to, Dermot?" Simon stared at him, almost glaring. Dermot pretended to have not noticed it.

"Yeah – If that's okay?" Simon merely nodded and walked away. Diana managed to breathe again.

"Oh my god…I thought he was going to kill me!" Dermot chuckled; wrapping his arm around her shoulders, Diana instinctively lent her head on his shoulder.

"I take it sport isn't your strong suit then?" Dermot asked after a long five minutes. Diana shook her head.

"You're joking aren't ya? Have you seen me run?" She sat up and focused all her attention on him. "I think…in almost every P.E. Lesson I was the last to be picked, the one with the worst score and oh my god the bleep test! Don't even get me started on that!" Dermot laughed, blocking out the game and the noise that was going on around them. "Oh but I was good at swimming! The one thing, I was – am a pretty good swimmer." Dermot coughed as an image of Diana in a bathing suit came into mind.

"Hmm…yeah. Erm…can imagine that." Dermot replied, nervously. Diana gave him a weird expression but ignored his reaction. They sat in silence again until Simon blew a whistle and they both made their way over to them.

"Alright guys, you did …okay." Simon said, that was as close as he could get to a compliment. "Right onto the running!" Everybody groaned.

"Simon, cant we rest?" Dannii asked almost falling to the floor.

"You can rest while we walk to the field." Simon pointed out. "Come on!" Everyone moaned and grumbled but nevertheless followed Simon outside.

--

"On your marks get set…GO!" Simon shouted and Alex and Ruth made their way to the finish line as quickly as they possibly could. Alexandra crossed the finish line just seconds before Ruth did. Alexandra jumped up and down in joy.

Cheryl looked at the running track in disgust.

"So let me get this straight – you want me…to run up and down…that?" Simon nodded. "Are you sure?" Everybody giggled and nodded along with Simon. Cheryl shrugged her shoulders and took of her shoes. "You must be mad!" She muttered. Cheryl and Laura both took their places and began running. Cheryl squealed as she felt the mixture of grass and mud beneath her feet. She was going to give up but then she realised she was in the lead and Laura was no longer in front of her. Cheryl grinned to herself. See, she wasn't so blonde after all. Cheryl abruptly stopped grinning when she felt some arms around her waist grabbing her and pushing her on the floor. Laura fell on top of her, giggling to herself.

"Laura!" Cheryl shouted in horror. "How could you? I was winning!" Laura scoffed and shook her head.

"No you weren't. I just decided to drop behind you – to make you think you were winning." Before Cheryl could protest, Laura pressed her thin lips on Cheryl's, not caring who was watching. Cheryl moaned, stunned by what Laura was doing but not exactly complaining. Laura pulled away and rubbed her nose against Cheryl's. "I win…" She muttered into her ear and jumped up running back to everyone else. Cheryl lay there, blushing furiously.

Dermot was next up against Austin, as the two guys got ready to start running, Daniel was right behind Austin, his right foot stuck out and as soon as Simon blew the whistle, Austin moved his foot and conveniently tripped. He fell flat on the floor, when he registered what had just happened he flipped himself over. Just as he was about to get up he was abruptly stopped.

"Pile on!" Eoughan screamed, his Irish accent coming out thick. Everybody looked at him like he was mad but nevertheless Aston shrugged and jumped on Austin making him cry out in pain. The rest of the JLS guys followed, Alexandra soon followed along with Eoughan, Simon got thrown to and Rachel managed to duck herself out of the way. Dannii threw herself on the pile, not wanting to be left out. Next was Dermot, he groaned at the pain that shot through his back but otherwise laughed at the scene that was taking place. Diana squealed as she felt herself pushed onto the pile. Very few acts remained but somehow more people were being thrown onto the growing pile. Diana barely noticed the people on top of her; she felt her breathing slower as she placed her delicate hands on Dermot's chest. She looked into his eyes, not caring where she was and hovered her lips over his.

She wasn't sure if she should make the move, if she wanted to – okay well that idea was shit because she sure as hell did. Dermot realised exactly was Diana was doing and before she had the chance to back out, he pressed his lips against hers. It was a simple yet sweet kiss and yet not of them wanted to pull away. Diana felt her heart stop beating and she felt Dermot's pulse quicken. He moved his lips against hers, not wanting to lose them. He wanted badly to wrap his arm around her, run it through her tousled blonde hair but it was trapped beneath someone's foot.

They were all pushed onto the floor, faces and hands landing into the now slushy mud. Simon tried his best to stand up and when he could he fell back down again. Dermot tried to get up as quickly as possible, as if to help Diana and explain to her about the kiss. Diana was already getting up and wiping away the mud of her hands. Simon finally managed to stand up without falling again. He looked positively angry.

"Right, that's it. Sport is over. Return back to the house." He ordered, trying his best to march away. Diana avoided Dermot's gaze and turned away, burying herself into a conversation with Alexandra so Dermot wouldn't be able to talk to her. Dermot stood there, an agonized look upon his face as he watched Diana walk away. He looked defeated, clenching his fist he picked up some of the sports equipment and made his way back inside.

It was only Laura that had witnessed the full scene that had happened between Diana and Dermot. She felt for her friend knowing full well what she was doing – thinking Dermot would regret it. She shook her head thinking Diana wasn't as smart as she originally thought. Laura sighed, wrapped her around Cheryl and made her way back to the house.
