At the airport

The group were waiting for their bags to turn up and had signed a few autographs already. No one really recognised Lauren apart from a group of 10 year old girls who said they loved the programme she used to star in when she was younger. She posed for photos with them and signed them pieces of paper.

A gang of 18 year olds whistled at her as she walked by them. She didn't seem to mind though; she just smiled and blew them a kiss. Zac got quite jealous, as did Lauren when group after group of girls kept coming up to him.

If you only knew I'd kissed him, she thought smiling to herself.

Everyone had got all their bags apart from Lauren's whose was on its way round the spinner thing (no idea what you call it, if anyone knows let me know!). She tried to lift it off but it was too heavy. Zac ran over and lifted it off for her and insisted on carrying it. Lauren gave him a quick hug and a smile before calling on her mobile.

They reached the exit and everyone watched as Lauren looked around for someone. Suddenly she yelped and ran over to a very handsome guy leaning against a pillar. He was very tanned and had a white polo shirt on that made him look even more tanned and battered jeans. They watched as he caught her and swung her round. He eventually put her down and hugged her. When she turned round, Zac saw she was crying, he smiled, 'she's a family person' he thought, 'like me'.

Lauren finally walked back over, leaving the guy stood at the pillar.

'Guys, my brothers waiting, he'll drive us back home. Hopefully he might leave us alone but I doubt it.'

'Why?' Lucas asked.

'Well I reckon he's a bit bored by all the girls here. He likes fresh meat, so does my other brother.' She looked at Ashley and Vanessa and said 'if you want one of them, stay distant. They'll chase you, not the other way around otherwise they'll get bored.'

The girls just nodded and smiled. Vanessa preferred the younger one and everyone knew it. Ashley liked this brother though.

'So Lo, what's this one's name?' Ashley asked.

Lauren laughed, knowing what she was getting at 'Harry'.

Zac looked up; he'd have to act a bit macho around him if he thought he was a 'pansy'.

They walked over to him and he shook hands with the guys and kissed the girls on the cheek. Lauren just rolled her eyes when he did this and began to walk off. Zac went with her and laughed when she bet him $50 that Harry would have one of the girls wrapped round his little finger by the time they left. Zac agreed and they shook hands on it.

Everyone piled their stuff in the car and Lauren suddenly said 'Harry, where's the other car?'

Harry turned and said 'what?'

Lauren put her hands on her hips and said 'the other car, where is it? This car only seats 5 and there are 7 of us'

Harry put his head in his hands and kicked the car 'Shit!' he said.

Lauren glared at him. 'You pratt, what are we going to do?'

Harry just shrugged and scratched his head.

Lauren went into bossy mode and said 'right, there is no way we'll fit 7 in so I'll walk if you take my luggage. Harry you'll have to walk with me and give someone who can drive the keys and tell them where to go'.

Harry put his hand in his pockets and said 'no-one who doesn't know where their going will find the house. It's like a secret agents house, it's hidden.'

Lauren huffed and stamped her foot 'well what do you suggest?'

Zac spoke up 'I'll walk with you if you like, and then Harry can drive.'

Lauren looked at him and said 'it's a really long walk, are you sure?'

Zac grinned, 'of course'.

Harry slapped him on the back and they did a 'man' hand slap thing and the others drove off leaving the two stood at the airport.

'He is in deep shit' Lauren said angrily.

Zac just laughed and grabbed her hand, 'come on, if it's a long way to go, we better get going'.

Lauren just groaned and set off.

'Zac?'

'Yeah?'

'It's been ten minutes and we're still in the airport grounds.'

'I know'

'Well where the hell is the exit?'

'No idea, ask someone'.

'¿Perdóneme pero podría usted decirme dónde la salida es por favor?'

Zac was impressed when Lauren began speaking in Spanish to a passer by.

He was even more impressed when she got them out of the airport.

'Ok, only 5 miles to go' she said.

Zac laughed but quickly stopped when she gave him a look.

'Zac, you know how when we first met, we said that we couldn't really be ourselves around other people?' Lauren said.

'Yeah, apart from each other' Zac replied.

'Well, I get so tired from being someone else. Everyone's always around, it's never you and me. I always have to put on a show and I'm really, really whacked out.'

'Don't worry, I'm the same. That's why I seem to have so much energy when I'm with you. I'm not using it all to be something different. It's like you have something special that makes me feel alive' Zac said.

'Yeah, that kiss definitely made me feel alive' she joked.

Zac just looked at her. 'What's going to happen now?'

Lauren shrugged, 'I don't know, maybe we should just forget about it. We're even now anyway, like you said, me in Starbucks, you on the plane, its fine'.

Zac nodded, he knew that it couldn't go anywhere. Not until the movie ended anyway.

It was half an hour later when Zac noticed Lauren struggling.

'What's wrong?' he asked her.

'My feet hurt' she moaned.

'Hop on'

'Excuse me?' Lauren said confused.

'Piggy back, come on'

Lauren laughed and jumped up.

'So you're a singer then?' Zac asked.

'Yep'

'Sing me a song' he said.

'What song?'

'Any, one of yours.'

'Your wish is my command.

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
I love you , I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you must realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head
I love you , I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along every day
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you got the chance to say
I love you, I honestly love you

If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
I love you, I honestly love you
I honestly love you '

Zac was stunned. She was such an amazing singer, she took his breath away.

Lauren leaned down and said 'I hope that's a good silence or I'll be very annoyed'.

Zac laughed and said 'it's a good silence'.
