Author's Note: Sorry for the delay, after working in front of a computer for 10 hours a day at work, during the weekends I tend to not want anything to do with a computer. :)

***************

The sunlight coming through her window stirred her awake. She rolled over and looked at her clock, the time being just a little past six in the morning. She had a few more hours until she had to meet Rico.

Did yesterday happen? It felt to surreal.

Her hand grabbed around her neck and the diamond key pendant was around her neck. It wasn't a dream at all, she had allowed Tom back in. She could still feel his arms wrapped around her as they embraced when he walked her to her hotel room. She could still taste him on her lips and feel his heartbeat against her chest; he had taken down his walls and allowed her in.

She slid out of bed and made her way into the bathroom. Her face surprised her in the mirror; it was calm looking and had a glow to it. Was she in love? It couldn't be, for all she knew Tom could still be in his old habits and putting on a show. But she didn't believe it; she wouldn't allow herself to think badly of him again.

The hot water of the shower felt soothing against her skin, her muscles were tense and soar from the long ten-hour flight the day before. She stepped out of the shower and walked over to her suitcase, she completely forgot to put her clothes away. Since today was going to be mostly setting up the lights and camera equipment, plus meeting with some of the models, Emilene settled on her destroyed, faded denim jeans, long purple tank top with a white thrift store baseball tee over. She dug through her suitcase until she found her black Converse shoes and a few necklaces. She pulled the towel of her head, rubbed some mouse through her hair and let it air dry to its natural curls.

She glanced up to the clock next to her bed and it was now seven. She still had four more hours to kill, so she decided to get some breakfast. She grabbed her purse and phone and opened up her door to find Tom standing there.

"Why… good morning Tom."

Tom sheepishly looked at Emilene and smiled. "Morning Emma. I couldn't sleep and wanted to take you out for breakfast."

Emilene shut her door behind her. "I would love that."

They made their way down to the hotel lobby. A flash caught her eye; she turned to see several photographers taking their photo.

"Tom?!" she didn't want the unnecessary attention, but it was going to catch up with her sooner or later.

Tom grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. "Just stay by me and keep your head down. Ignore their questions and anything else they will throw your way."

She nodded in agreement and moved closer into him. She positioned herself behind him and kept her face down. When they exited the hotel it was like all hell broke lose.

"Tom! Tom! Who is this woman?"

"Tom is this one of your one-night-stands gone good?"

"What is your name girl?"

"How long have you two been together? Tom have you been hiding her all these years?"

"She doesn't look like your normal type, why her Tom?"

Tom squeezed her hand and Emilene looked up to see his bodyguard standing in front of them next to a black SUV. Tom let go of her hand and ran around to the opposite side of the SUV, while his bodyguard helped Emilene into the SUV. When the doors shut the photographers were still snapping photos and yelling questions.

"Unbelievable." She mumbled under her breath.

Tom looked over to her and pulled her next to him. "It is annoying the say the least, but it's the price of fame. I have become so use to just putting my head down and go on my way."

"I don't know if I could handle it." She whispered.

He put his arm around her and squeezed her shoulder. "I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

She let out a small laugh "At least there were no fans out there, I have seen how the fan girls go crazy for you guys! They would probably pile drive me if I was seen with you."

Tom laughed at the thought of the fan girls go ballistic if he was seen out with Emilene. They were going to be spotted out and about; he knew that they might end up in a magazine with the story completely twisted.

After twenty minutes of driving, the SUV stopped in front of another hotel. Emilene looked questionably at their location and wondered why they were here.

"Tom, why did we stop here?"

"This is where the band and I are staying. I thought this might be a bit more private for us."

She followed his out of the SUV and into the hotel, this time she didn't have to hide her face since there were no photographers lurking outside the hotel. They made their way to the elevator and up to floor seven. They stepped out to a brightly lit hallway and walked to the end of the corridor. There were just two doors at this end, which she assumed was the band's rooms.

"The guys are here also, I thought it would be nice for you to get to know everyone better and for them to get to know you."

Emilene smiled and touched the pendant he gave her the night before, as a sense of reassurance.

Breakfast went really good, apart from Bill; Georg and Gustav were both very friendly and funny. You could tell that they were a bit shy, but eventually warmed up to Emilene as she poked fun at Tom occasionally. Bill was excited to see her again and talked about how they needed to go shopping again, this time without Tom. Her highlight was everyone's trouble saying her name, Georg asked her if she was named after a type of meat they never heard before, and Gustav would just laugh and add a joke in here and there. Finally she told them all too just call her Emma, as Tom and Bill have been doing.

Georg was the first to ask about the pendant hanging from her neck.

"I like your charm, was it a gift?"

Emilene looked down at the charm mixed in with her other necklaces, she felt her cheeks grow hot and knew she was blushing.

"Yes."

Georg smiled, seeming satisfied by her answer. But not Bill, Bill had to know everything.

"Well… who gave it to you?" Bill shot a look over to Tom, the twins sat there staring at each other as having their own conversation.

"Well… I… I got it…"

"I gave it to her." Tom exclaimed.

"I knew it!" Bill shrieked. A huge smile spread across his face and he got up from where he was sitting and made his way over to Tom. "Tom for once listened to his little brother! Emma it is beautiful on you."

Emilene nodded with a smile, knowing that her face was a deep crimson. Georg and Gustav both laughed in agreement with Bill and flashed reassuring smiles her way.

Gustav leaned over whispering to Emilene. "If it makes you feel better, Georg buys so many trinkets for his girlfriend, we are starting to wonder if they are married and he hasn't told us!"

"I heard that!" Georg shouted.

"I'm just saying Georg."

"Yeah! Don't worry Gustav, he wouldn't want to ruin what he has going on with you. Your still his number one!" Tom joked.

Both Georg and Gustav started laughing with Bill bouncing around the room talking a mile a minute about nothing. Emilene stared at them with a bewilder look and started to laugh also, she felt more at ease now. The guy's carefree ways really made her feel comfortable.

"Welcome to the chaos that is Tokio Hotel!" Tom joked as he winked across the room to her.
