I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I've had a bit of a writers block but I think that it turned out pretty good anyway. This chapter will start with Ian and Mel and the mystery man.. And don't forget about the mystery team that I mentioned a few chapters ago, I almost did but now they will be back! hihi

SO IAN AND MEL WERE STARTLED BY THIS MYSTERY MAN...

Ian: "Sorry, mate..." He cleared his throat, "Wait, I know that voice"

Man: "I would hope so Ian, I heard that you cleared my bar last night.."

Mel: "Max?"

Ian: "Yes, sorry about that.. Celebrations you know."

Max: "Celebrations? about this thing that's going on here or..?" He said and gestured at Ian and Mel.

Mel: "No, this is not.." She stopped as she realized that it actually was something she never expected.

Ian: "It was for Loren's amazing weekend, Eddie being back and then Chloe came by and said that she was moving to New York so celebrations were a given.."

Max: "She is? That do call for a real celebration"

Mel: "It sure does" She said to keep the previous subject from resurfacing.

Max: "So what are you two doing here?" He said and gave them a teasing look.

Ian: "As usual when it comes to me, last night is.. kind of a lost memory." He said and scratched his head.

Max: "Well, I wasn't here so I can't help you with that. But Grace should be here any minute so you can wait until she gets here."

Mel: "Thanks Max"

Max: "You guys can keep doing what you were doing.." He said and walked back to the rest of the club.

Ian: "No, there wasn't..." He didn't had the time to finish before Max was out of sight.

Mel: laughed, "That was..." She looked up at him.

Ian: "Yes it was" He said and looked into her eyes.

Mel: "Ian.. we shouldn't have.." She said as he leaned in.

Ian: "Maybe not but I wanted to" he said and pulled her closer to him again. He gave her a light kiss and then looked into her eyes and said, "but we do need to talk about this."

Mel: "I know, I just need to talk to Adam about everything before we get into this" What ever this is.. she thought to herself.

Ian: "It's okay, maybe we should go wait for Grace"

Mel: "Yeah, that's probably best.." She said and walked towards the bar with Ian close behind.

Kelly: "So if there's anything else, you know where to find us."

Eddie: "Actually there is one more thing..." He said and smiled at Jake.

Jake: "What is it?" He said hesitating about what more Eddie could dump on him.

Eddie: "Well, we were thinking of have Ian as our tour photographer and Mel as the videographer."

Jake: Happy that it wasn't anything more serious or demanding, "I think that we can make that happen"

Loren: "This still feels so unreal to me..."

Kelly: "Well believe it cause everything is going your way and it will go at full speed for a while."

Loren: "I guess it is.." She said and gave Kelly the best smile she could for the moment.

Jake: "Then I guess we're done for the day.. oh, and I managed to get Leah over to somebody else, and we still need to find the opening act now that you are doing a joined tour.."

Loren: "Thank you Jake" She said and felt a weight lift of her shoulders.

Eddie: "Yeah, thanks man. Could I actually talk to you for a second.. Babe, I'll be out in a minute."

Kelly took Loren out to Stevens desk where she had some more papers to sign and closed the door behind them.

Jake: "What is it that is so important?"

Eddie: "What's going on with you and Kelly? and where is Traci?"

Jake: "She moved back to Chicago while you were gone and then.."

Eddie: "then?"

Jake: "Then somethings started to happen with Kelly and I just don't know"

Eddie: "I know that you miss Traci but sleeping with Kelly isn't the answer"

Jake: "I know, but what is happening with Kelly has nothing to do with Traci. Not that I'm sure that something is or ever will happen.."

Eddie: "Just don't let your feelings get the best of you. And by the way, if you don't want anybody to figure this out you should stop looking at each other like a piece of meat." He said and laughed.

Jake: "You shouldn't be paying that much attention, now go before they think we started another business meeting.. " He said and walked over to the door and opened it.

Kelly: "Everything alright?" She asked and looked at Jake with this look that was filled with curiosity.

Jake: "Yea, everything is fine." He knew that he would have to talk to Kelly about everything later anyway.

Loren: "Ready to go?" She said with a smile.

Eddie: "Yes, and we need to stop by the club. I got a text from Ian saying that he and Mel were there trying to piece the night together.." He said and started to walk out of the office.

Kelly: "I'll call you later for the studio time!" She said as the couple exited the office doors.

Mel: "So... what do we do now?" She said as she was sitting at the bar.

Ian: "Wait for Grace and Eddie and Loren are on their way too."

Mel: "Oh god, Max is gonna tell them and Loren will freak on me!" She said in panic.

Ian: "Take a deep breath Mel, everything will be okay." He said and put his hands on her shoulders to calm her down.

Mel: "You know how hard she pushed for me to talk to Adam and.. I don't know." She said and looked down at the floor.

Ian: "Things will work out in the end, they always do" He said and tried to make eye contact with her again.

Mel: "I guess.." She said as they heard the front door close.

Woman: "How is it after last night?" She said just to tease them.

Ian: "That's sort of why we're here... What happened last night?"

Grace: "You don't remember anything at all, any of you?"

Mel: "Nothing"

Ian: "Except for what the pictures could give us and something about a tattoo and horse.." He said and scratched his head.

Mel: "And as far as we know no one has gotten a tattoo so."

Grace: Laughing, "I can't tell you anything about the tattoo part but there was something about a horse carriage ride, if I remember correctly."

Ian: "That sounded like an Eddie idea in so many ways."

Mel: "I know, he's the romantic of the 21th century."

Ian: "He always have been" He said and gave her that magic smile again.

Loren: "Who is what?"

Mel: "Eddie, the romantic of our generation" She said and laughed.

Eddie: "Well thank you Mel.. Care to explain why?"

Ian: "Thanks to Grace here we figured out the horse part of last night"

Mel: "Horse carriage ride, so of curse our thoughts went directly to you." She said with a smile.

Loren: "That is so true.. but really a carriage ride? still no memory"

Eddie: Wrapped his arms around Loren and kissing her cheek, "It so is.." he whispered in her ear. "That says something but I still have no memory of the actually horse.."

Ian: "Then why do I have that... doesn't make any sense"

Eddie: "I don't think that I had anything to do with that" He said and gave Ian a look.

Mel: "What are you saying Eddie?"

Ian: "You're not serious are you?"

Eddie: "Oh, I'm serious man."

Loren: "Are you saying that Ian was the head behind the carriage ride?"
