I hope all you readers love this story. It's actually a real novel of mine, but with a man and a woman. Please let me know what you think thank you.

HOUR AND A half later Steven was backstage at his concert and felt nervous right before Brendan got there; he was pacing back and forth with his manager trying to calm him down. It shocked him that he was feeling that way for someone who he hated more than anyone in the whole world of entertainment and maybe beyond that.

"Calm down what's with you tonight?" asked Pauline

"I'm just a bit worried about this stupid meeting"

"Why?" Pauline asked confused

"I don't want him and his bad boy attitude trying to pick me up like he does with everyone else"

"I'm right here he can't do anything with me in the room"

"I just pray that you're right"

Suddenly there was a knock at the backstage door and Steven jumped and turned his head to face the door

"Brendan Brady here to see Ste Hay" said a security guard as he slightly opened the door.

Pauline looked at Steven and Steven nodded his head that he was ready for Brendan to come in the room.

"Send him in" said Pauline

Steven stopped pacing around the room once he heard the door open and closed looked up and was staring into the most amazing blue eyes he had ever seen in her life even more amazing than his own, they were so bright and clear.

'You hate him' thought Steven trying to remind himself of that.

Brendan stared back into Steven's lighter shade of blue ones he just couldn't help himself.

"Hello" said Brendan in a friendly tone of voice

"Hi" Steven rudely

'If I act like I don't give a shit then hopefully I'll be safe' thought Steven

Pauline walked over to Brendan and extended her hand for a handshake.

"Nice to see you again Brendan" said Pauline as she shook Brendan's hand.

"Likewise, Ms. Shore" said Brendan

"Please call me Pauline"

"Okay Pauline"

Steven sat down on a black leather chair and crossed his arms

"I can really tell that you don't want to do this" said Brendan turning around to face Steven.

"Oh what gave that away" said Steven sarcastically, not even looking up at Brendan.

Steven faced his mother and Pauline didn't seem to be too happy with her son's behavior but didn't really care.

"Just about everything" said Brendan in a laughing mannered way

"I'm so proud of my sweetie for doing this" said Pauline

"Mom shut up" said Steven angrily but began to blush

"I am too" said Brendan with a serious smile

'Okay, I do have to admit that Brendan Brady is a looker, but that's just about it. I don't even think he's that great of a singer. He has nice style as well, for a rocker he doesn't go all out crazy with his fashion. Nice black jeans, short sleeve, black and red button down shirt, black boots, nice silver cross chain on his neck and, and a cool cross tattoo on his arm. It all seems nice but not him, Alright so he is a great singer but that is all. He seems so different with my mom sweet and shy' Steven shook his head to shake off his crazy thoughts.

'Steven Hay god he's smoking hot, no that's rude of me, he very handsome in a boyish kind of way, I use to like the manly kind, but I know he hates me everything about me. I'll do anything just to be his friend. I don't want to scare him off. Been a fan of his ever since that night I first saw him on MTV so many years ago, before I became a star, I love being a rock star but sometimes it's useless all I ever wanted to be was to be wanted or close to Steven but all I've ever been is in the background pushed a side like I'm not even there. This is going to be my final album I'm through with the music industry it's all fake anyway' thought Brendan sadly to himself

'I'm so nervous my knees are shaking and that's a first for me but I see the way he's looking at me or lack thereof but I can see hate but in a crazy manner it calms me down but that look in his eyes when we just met was wow incredible. I know he didn't feel the same, but his eyes are even more amazing close up' thought Brendan nervously

"So what's the plan?" asked Steven as he stood up and faced Brendan

"It's simple really it's really not a duet just sing backup for me on one track. If you want you don't even have to be in the same studio with me. I'm just grateful that you met me here to discuss the plan.

Steven just nodded her head.

"He doesn't say no to me" said Pauline

"I can see that" said Brendan with a nervous smile.

"I know you'll say no but I'm going to ask any way"

"What?" asked Steven stand offish

"I was wondering after your concert if you'd like to go clubbing with me?" asked Brendan nervously before sucking in his bottom lip.

'Brendan looks so hot like that, wow where the hell did my mind just wonder off to', thought Steven in shock

"You got that right, it's a no. Doing business with you is one thing being seen with you outside of it is another" said Steven sounding like a bitch but he didn't care

Brendan nodded his head clenching and unclenching his fists and faced Pauline and shook her hand.

"Well then it was nice doing business with you both" said Brendan sounding hurt that Steven didn't want to go clubbing with him.

"I'll call you and arrange a time and a place to record. It was an honor to finally meet you. I'll be in VIP seating again."

"Enjoy the concert then" said Steven not giving a shit or acting like he didn't.

"I always do" and with that said Brendan walked out of the room.
