All the girls had decided that they needed a girls day without any guys. It had been a while since they had had time to just sit and talk about things. They needed a catch up and what better way to do that than to go shopping and catch some lunch. All day they had been talking about what they had missed and just caught up on things. Soon they stopped off for lunch and this was when they had a chance to catch up on each others love lives.

"So we've caught up on what we've missed I believe its time we talk about the guys" Katie suggested

"I agree! So Eve hows things with Much?" Marian grinned

"Oh there going great I mean we get along so well. He has taken me out to so many restaurants and has cooked me so many meals at home. He's amazing at all of it" Eve swooned

"I know what you mean Carter is amazing in the kitchen as well. But thats not the place he's best at" Katie winked

"Katie! Not while were eating!" Alice scolded

"Oh come on I bet John's a right bear in the bedroom" Katie accused

"I don't here her denying it" Djaq laughed

"He's amazingly sweet and not all of us think about sex Katie! John is just perfect in every way! I feel like I have a real connection with him" Alice smiled shyly

"I know what you mean. Will just seems to get me. I mean I came home from work the other day and I was completely knackered and he had dinner all ready for me. It was so sweet" Djaq sighed dreamily

"aww look at all of you so loved up" Hannah grinned

"Well what can we say them boys have something about them" Marian smiled "So I here Alan was at the club again yesterday?"

"And the day before that and the day before that. I think he's been at that club everytime you have? Djaq could that be a sign that he likes the club?" Katie teased

"I do believe it is not the club that he likes. I have a feeling it might be something else" Djaq played along

"Do you know what I think it is?" Marian asked

"What?" the replied

"I think its the smoking hot owner!" Marian smirked

"Okay, okay! I get it! But you know what he's like. Come on Katie you told me yourself what he did to you? You really think I can trust him?" Hannah replied

"But if you didn't really see something in him. You wouldn't put up with him; not for anyone's benefit" Alice challenged

"You see something in him. We all do." Katie smiled "I saw it I just wasn't the person that could get through to it "

"And you think I can?" Hannah questioned

"Yep" They all replied

"Glad you have so much faith in me" Hannah laughed "Any way I know were all dying to hear about you and Robin Maz?"

"Yeah" everyone nodded

"Well what can I say! Everything seems to be going great. He just seems to get me. At the same time through he can be extremely irritating. I mean I understands he's worried about the Guy thing. Its just he can be..." Marian didn't quite have the words

"overprotective" they said in unison

"It just shows how much he cares. I mean have you just seen the way he looks at you. I think that he cares about you more than you think." Katie told her.

Meanwhile...

The guys were at the studio getting ready for a recording session. They were enjoying lunch and catching up. It had been a while since they'd actually been together and they weren't use to it. They were so use to being together everyday and they knew what everyone had done because they were there when they did it. So it was nice for them to feel like they were back together. Carter had popped round for lunch as well so they were all together.

"Man it feels like forever since we have seen each other" Alan stated

"Well we've been busy I mean with the girls" Will stated

"I do remember at some point in our high school life we stated that we would never let girls take over our life" Alan countered

"Says the guy that has spent the last 2 weeks at a club pining after a girl" Much teased

"Alan A'dale dose not pine!" Alan stated

"Stalking then" Robin laughed

"Come on guys she hates me. Like she'd ever really like me" Alan sighed

"Alan, if she hated you she wouldn't put up with you" Robin stated "You just need to prove to her your not the jerk everyone thinks you are"

"Thanks Robin that makes me feel so much better" Alan rolled his eyes

"You just need to grow up! We're not getting any younger we better start looking for someone to settle down with" Will explained

"You are seriously whipped man! Djaq must be pretty amazing if your talking like that" Alan smirked

"What can I say she just gets me. I feel like she doesn't even care that I have lots of money. She just cares about me" Will grinned "I'm not the only one like that through we've barely seen John"

"Alice is a very interesting person. She is more than I could hope for. Much though seems to smile more than normal" John stated

"I am Eve is great I mean we've go out so much together and its amazing. Might I add she's an amazing cook!" Much grinned

"You would mention that" Carter laughed

"So how you going with Katie Carter?" Robin asked

"Its early but so far its been the best. She turned up at training the other day and believe me she had the whole team chatting her up. It made me feel very lucky" Carter smiled

"Come on Robin spill. Your the one that we haven't heard from in like forever. What's going on with you and Marian?" Will questioned

"You know its been hard for me to even think about dating after the whole Sarah thing. But when I saw what Guy was doing to her all I wanted to do was to protect her and I really don't understand half of the things I feel with Marian. She just seems to understand me. It's scary feeling all these things that I don't know. But I am just so happy" Robin explained

"I think you just summed up what we all feel about the girls" John stated

"There a pretty amazing bunch" Much sighed

With that said and done they got back to work. They didn't know why and they didn't know how but somehow they all felt relieved to of come back to Nottingham to be back where it had all began. Alan now had an idea of how he was going to show Hannah that he wasn't just a ladies man that there was more to him than that. So as soon as the recording was finished he headed off to the club. The nights he'd hung out at the club he'd got to know Steven one of bartenders well. So he gave him a call and told him to meet him at the club. He then called Katie.

"Hello?"

"Hey Katie, are still with Hannah"

"Yeah why?"

"Could you possibly keep her away from the club till 7 for me?"

"I can try but why?"

"I know I've been a jerk to you and I'm sorry about that but I want to prove to Hannah that I can be trusted and show her just how much I like her. So you think you can keep her away without hinting that some things up?"

"Aw, Of course leave it to me. I'll give you a call when she's on her way"

"Thank you Katie"

"No Problem Alan. Your not that bad. Talk to you later"

"Bye"

oOo

"Katie why are we getting dressed up again?" Marian questioned

"Because were going out tonight without the guys" Katie grinned

"Really and what brought this on?" Djaq asked

"I just thought since were having a girls day we might as well do it right" Katie explained

"I need to pop to the club first though to make sure the guys are all right. Steven called earlier and said someone had hired it out for a special occasion tonight" Hannah added

"Yeah that's fine" Katie nodded

Katie went into the bathroom and Marian followed her "What are you up to?" she accused

"I don't know what your talking about it" Katie smiled innocently

"Okay so you suddenly had this idea to go out clubbing right after a phone call?" Marian pointed out

"Fine but none of the others can know okay?" Katie said shutting the door

"Okay so what's going on?" Marian promised

"Alan called me and told me to keep Hannah away from the club till 7. He has a surprise for her. To show her he isn't as bad as she thinks he is." Katie explained

"O my God that's so sweet" Marian gushed

"I know. He must really like her. Now lets get out of here its 10 to 7 now." Katie said pushing Marian out the room.

"Come on guys time to hit the streets" Katie shouted

With that they left the flat and headed to the club. On the way Katie text Alan letting him know they were on there way. When they got there all the girls piled out and headed down. Hannah was at the front.

"You know you don't have to come down with me you could of waitted...." Hannah stopped when she noticed All the flowers and candles everywhere. Her eyes then fell on the table in the middle of the room. Alan stood just behind it. "Alan? What are you doing?"

"I want to prove to you I'm not the jerk that I seem to be. That I can be someone you can trust." Alan stated

A chorus of "aww's" can from behind Hannah. Hannah looked at them and the girls took that as there cue to leave. They all waved bye to Alan and headed back upstairs. Hannah walked over to the table where Alan was standing "So you think by having dinner and decorating my club that I will just trust you?"

"No. I was thinking while we have dinner we can talk and get to know each other. That way you get to know me better. I know I have to earn your trust and I know it will take some time but I'm willing to try if you are?" Alan explained

"Well that's a good way to start" Hannah smiled

With that said Alan offered her a seat and they talked and ate dinner that Steven served. Hannah a lot about why Alan was the way he was. His mother died soon after his younger brother was born. This meant that he was brought up by his father. He explained that his father was never around that he was always off with some women. Alan said it was his way of dealing with his mother death. This meant that Alan was left to take care of his brother Tom. Which left little time for Alan to have a life. The more Hannah learnt about Alan the more she started to understand why he was the way he was. He never had a women in his life for very and that meant that he never knew how to treat one properly. Alan also learned a lot about Hannah's life. She was raised by her mother and never knew her father. Her mother had never hidden her hate for men and it seemed that it had rubbed off on Hannah too. This is why Hannah never trusted men and had a dislike of any ladies men. It seemed that they were too pea's in a pod. There lives were opposite but similar in many ways.

"You know your not as bad as you seem" Hannah stated as they were dancing

"Your not that bad yourself" Alan smirked

"It was nice to learn so much about you I think I understand you a bit better now." Hannah smiled

"So did you have fun tonight?" Alan asked

"Do you know what? I did" Hannah replied

"No need to act so surprised" Alan grinned

"You should try letting people in more and then they wouldn't think you were such a jerk" Hannah argued

"I like it that way. The less I get involved with people the less I get hurt when they leave" Alan stated with a hard face

"Your scared. So what we all are. If you don't let anyone in then you will end up alone. Sometime you've got to let people in or you end up alone" Hannah smiled

"Tried taking your own advice" Alan replied

"Never" Hannah laughed

"I think we work quite well together. We both seem to have the same problem." Alan stated

"Yeah and what's that?" Hannah asked

"I don't trust women and you don't trust men." Alan smirked

"Then I believe we can help each other out" Hannah smiled

"Yeah I think we can" Alan grinned
