Rock Star

Chapter 6


"I don't care how much money you throw at me; I want him to learn the hard way for assaulting me!" Kevin was pacing up and down Cheryl's office tight clenched fists by his side.

"OH purlease! You wound him up, Ok so maybe he shouldn't have hit ye, and I'm not throwing money at ye, I am trying to come to an agreement. Why would ye want to stay on tour with us, as ye have a major issue with Brendan now right?"Cheryl sat back on her office chair and crossed her legs. Her fingers tapped a little nervously at the desk as she tried to resolve the situation Brendan had got himself into.

"Well, he shouldn't have hit me, but no, I still want on the tour, it's not just me, the whole support act deserves to be included now." Kevin pointed to the office door as though it represented the rest of his group and gestured his hands up in the air in frustration.

"OK, so no more trouble then, and that's fine with me Kevin, just stop winding people up, and leave Ste alone too" Cheryl sat forward and looked at Kevin, her eyes flicking from side to side as though she was watching a tennis match in fast forward as he paced from one side of the desk to the other.

"Ste is a scrawny twat with a big gob, Brendan will see that soon enough and come crawling back to me" He pointed a menacing finger at Cheryl wagging it in front of her nose, she batted the bony digit away and scowled at him.

"What? Ye think so? Our Bren likes Ste, I seriously think ye need to move on Kevin, for both your sakes" Cheryl widened her eyes and tried to hide her concern about Kevin's odd behaviour.


The fans in the arena were screaming louder than ever as Brendan shimmied his way around the stage, gyrating his hips towards them as half the crowd fainted. He smiled as the roar tingled through his veins, sweat pouring off his brow in the heat of the bright spotlight that always followed his every movement.

He wandered over to the drums and Warren was belting out a drum solo, Brendan paused to take a drink of water pouring Yhalf of it over his head to cool himself down, the water travelled down over his shirt and soaked it through enhancing his hardened nipples through the material.

The song started up again as Brendan began to sing his heart out sharing the microphone with Dennis they sang out together and the crowd sang along with them running over to Simon and sharing some of the song with him as well,the screams intensified.

At the end of the concert they all ripped off their shirts much to the crowds delight throwing them into the sea of hands, the shirts got ripped to pieces. Simon laughed with Warren over it pointing to them all screaming; they worked the crowd up into a frenzy when they did one last song at the end all stood dancing together.

When Brendan entered his dressing room at the end of the concert he was met by a sight that dampened his heightened adrenalin. Kevin was perched up on his dressing table back against the mirror dressed in black; a thick silver chain lay against his chest that looked far too heavy for the skinny man to hold up around his neck. Brendan stood in the doorway not bothering to move and gestured his hand out of the door to him.

"Out" Brendan gestured his thumb backwards as Kevin looked down at his lap and smirked.

"Brendan, come on, this is stupid, we were friends once, close friends" Kevin rolled his tongue through his teeth at him seductively, but Brendan just sneered.

"Yeah, major mistake ye turned out to be, now get out!"

"No, I want to talk, we have to spend this tour together, we need to be civil" Kevin jumped off the side and sauntered over to Brendan placing himself far to close up to his body, he could smell his aftershave and sweat off him from being on stage earlier, his shirt was wrung through with it, felt cold and damp against his chest as he shuddered in disgust.

"Kevin, ye either move or I'll have to move ye myself" Brendan warned as Kevin moved slowly to his ear and purred at him

"You will be back Brendan, I saw how I made you feel and come hard when I touched you, you wanted it, and will again" Kevin smirked and moved away leaving Brendan angered. He swung his door shut with such force it felt like the room shook with it. He sat down and placed his head in his palms and sought the only comfort he knew how.

Ste popped into his mind and calmed him gently. He hadn't seen him in a long time and wanted to curl up in his arms and embrace his warmth around his body. There was a knock at the door and it jolted him from his thought of Ste's tongue sleeking over his bottom lip. He groaned in irritation looking at the door with a quick snap of his neck.

"Kevin! I told ye to get lost!"

The door opened slowly as Cheryl peered around it wide eyed. Brendan huffed in mistake and shook his head.

"Sorry Chez, I thought ye were..."

"Kevin? Yeah I get that a LOT" Cheryl joked and a slight smile appeared on Brendan's face then. She closed the door and sighed walking over and hugging onto Brendan tightly.

"Bren, what's wrong love? Kevin still causing trouble?"Cheryl moved out of the hug and placed herself on a chair across from Brendan.

"He was in here, he thinks we're gonna be on again, he's crazy, it wasn't even an affair!"

"OK, look I don't like the guy; ye know that, perhaps when ye were together he...fell for ye? And it will explain his intense actions lately." Cheryl started to realise there was more to his behaviour, it wasn't just about the assault.

"Chez, I told him at the start, it was casual sex, nothing more than a bit of fun ye know?"

"To ye maybe, but not to him babe. Anyway, he'll get used to it, all I'm saying is give him time, he's heart broken I guess"

"Jesus, fine, fine I will keep out of his way" Brendan looks at his phone again for the umpteenth time causing Cheryl to roll her eyes at him.

"Ye been in touch with Ste then?"

"I haven't seen him in weeks Chez ye know that" Brendan sighed rubbing at his forehead

"OK I'll get the driver to take us back to Liverpool, I will go and pick Ste up again for ye, anything to stop ye moping about like a kid that's lost it's security blanket." Cheryl warmed to Brendan's instant delight; he moved up and hugged her.

"Chez I love ye, ye know that right?"

"Yeah, yeah, enough with the soppy outbursts, and I love ye too, get Ste texted!" Cheryl added with a wink as she left Brendan to get himself changed.


Ste wanted to see Brendan again, it had been two weeks since they spent that night together at Brendan's house, and he was missing him, found himself distracted at work because of it, mind travelling back to their time spent talking for hours and of course the kisses, and Brendan's lips caressing over his, made his tummy flutter. They had been texting and chatting on the phone during the time though, every spare moment Brendan had he would text Ste, and it made him giddy.

The staff had already left as Ste was sat cashing up the takings at the end of the day, he sat behind the till propped on a stool leaning on the counter. His head was aching from the task and wanted to get home. Just as he'd managed to finish up his phone beeped as he was locking up. He smiled a wide beam and settled down at the fountain to read it, it was from Brendan.

'Steven, ye free tonight? ;) BB x' Ste smiled and replied straight back,not caring if he seemed far too keen,because he was. All the days they had spent on the phone,he just craved him more.

'I am always free for you. Ste x'

Ste wasn't going to play hard to get, it had been too long,he needed to see Brendan.

'Chez will pick ye up, can't wait to see ye. BBx '

'OK tell her in an hour, just left work. Ste x' Ste jumped up and had a spring in his step on the way home. Behind him someone was waiting behind the big tree in the village, leering out and watching his every move. Ste didn't notice though, he had a hot date to attend with Brendan.


Brendan smoothed his phone over his smirking mouth placing it down and beaming into a glorious smile. They were on the tour bus travelling back from a gig in Preston. Brendan was to travel back to Liverpool and his house there as he'd not been back in two weeks, touring up in Scotland.

The only contact he and Steven had had was via texts and phone calls, and he missed him, more than he thought he would. Steven's kisses had remained ghosted on his lips from two weeks earlier, their passion so hot it had literately branded onto his mouth and tongue. He subconsciously licked his lips thinking about it.

Simon walked over to him as he caught his gaze and shifted himself up the back seat so he could sit down with him.

"That smile of yours hasn't left you for a month now" Simon wagged an all knowing finger at Brendan raising his eye brows in quick concession.

"Hmm, ye noticed huh? I can't help it, Steven..he.." Brendan closes his eyes and sighs contently

"He's...the one?" Simon glances at Brendan sideways gulping back a bottle of beer.

"Ah Simon, I can't answer that, just know that I miss him when he's not around, and with America in two weeks I won't see him at all"

"Brendan, invite him on tour with us! I don't mind; neither will the rest of the guys. We have never seen you so happy,and we like Ste too" Simon suggested standing up and stretching himself as his body cracked. "Come on, let's have a practice together? Belt out some songs and rock out yeah?"

Brendan chuckled and nodded at Simon in agreement "Yeah,let's get the bus rocking"

They got up and had a chased hug slapping each others backs. Warren and Dennis were having a game of snap and Dennis was getting mighty peed off because Warren was apparently cheating.

"You are cheating!" Dennis huffed and threw the pack of cards over Warrens head.

"How can you cheat playing snap ya daft bugger?!" Warren snapped standing up and shaking off the strewn cards.

"Cos I seen ya!" Dennis warns

"Wow ye two should never play such a competitive game, Simon wants to have a jam, come on Dennis grab ya guitar, something you do have a talent for!" Brendan laughed. Dennis batted him on the head with his guitar,and tried to convince him it was by complete accident.


As soon as Cheryl and Ste, who was covered up in her coat on the passenger seat, had driven into the safety of Brendan's garage, Ste was off. He vacated Cheryl's car like he had been sat on a molten larva covered seat. Cheryl swore she saw the dust trail behind him too. It made her giggle as she decided against following him and instead checked her Twitter for ten minutes before leaving the house again. A car was parked nearby and Cheryl had stopped and looked at it puzzled, thinking she'd seen it before, then dismissed it for a press member's car and drove off.

Brendan was in the kitchen making something to eat for them, or trying to when Ste sauntered into the doorway and leaned up against it looking at Brendan with hungry eyes, and it wasn't the food that was tempting as he mentally undressed him. Brendan saw how he was being looked at and hardened instantly under Ste's intense gaze, it made him jolt a little stood next to the cooker, he cursed under his breath as he instantly heated up like a kettle on fast boil. Brendan placed the food to one side and wandered slowly over to Ste who had his hands in his pockets and looked good enough to eat.

"Steven, ye do something to me" Brendan smirked as he got closer

"What do I do to you?" Ste looked on sultry through his eyelashes at Brendan then hitched a quick breath as he snaked his arms tight around his waist crashing their groins deliciously together. Brendan ground at him into the door frame as Ste felt the heat rise in his neck.

"This" Brendan pressed his hardened cock into Ste's thigh and rubbed it there a few strokes making sure Ste would feel his weakness being in Ste's presence.

"Brendan..." Ste moaned into his ear and traced his palm down between them replacing his thigh with it and helping Brendan with his erection rubbing a tightly cupped hand over him as Brendan hummed in satisfaction. "You're pleased to see me then..." Ste smirked closing the gap between their mouths feeling Brendan's trembling breaths and moustashe tickle over his lips.

Brendan hummed leaning an arm above Ste's head opened up his fly and took Ste's hand pushing him down his trousers till he felt his palm drag over his length. Brendan keened his hips,mouth wide open and breathing shallow. Pre come sleeked out of his slit and Ste thumbed over it circling the head making it moist. Brendan rocked into his hand feeling his legs shudder.

"Oh you like this?" Ste smiled watching Brendan and spoke ghosting their lips together. "Placing my thumb here..." Ste stroked up and down on the slit circling the pre come around the head more, then moved to tickle softly under the rim "My fingers there?"

Brendan nodded as he gasped he threw his head back and Ste bit hard at his neck and licked his tongue there sucking to leave a mark before moving his lips close to Brendan's ear and whispered."You want me to drag my wet mouth over you too?"

"Steven..." Brendan came hard in Ste's palm and Ste milked the come out of his cock for him licking his hand clean afterwards. Brendan growled and pushed their mouths together tasting himself in Ste's mouth. They lapped tongues intimately enjoying each other's kisses with a crazy appetite. Ste broke the kiss and laughed dragging his fingers clawing over Brendan's chest.

"I'm crazy for you" Ste whimpered into Brendan's chest "Missed you, can't believe it's been two weeks"

"I know, I missed ye too" Brendan cupped Ste's face, "I have to taste ye" Brendan looked into Ste's eyes and opened up his zipper taking out Ste's hardened and leaking length,he purred "Come in my mouth" Brendan dropped to his knees and didn't give Ste chance to process the thought.

Ste quickly placed both arms behind, palms hitting loudly on the wall at the sides of him gasping as Brendan's mouth sank down over his cock, the hard suction took his breath away in an instant keening his hips forward clinging on to the walls of the door frame. Brendan gripped his thighs and thrust Ste into his face sucking so hard his hips rocked backward and forward.

"Bren...I'm gonna...c...oh god" Ste moaned loudly as he came down Brendan's deep throat, Brendan sucked Ste until he fell limp in his mouth. He rose back up to Ste and grabbed his head crashing their lips together again.


Ste took over from Brendan with the cooking he made a quick pasta meal for them as they settled at the table to eat. They giggled over their greeting for each other earlier, deciding as far as hello's go, that was the greatest they'd experienced. Brendan told Ste about the tour and the concerts they'd played and how he'd met some more amazing fan's afterwards. Ste settled on his hands and listened intently to Brendan's mad lifestyle, he saw in his face just how much he loved his career and singing on stage. Brendan looked back at Ste's fond eyes and smirked at him.

"What?"

"Nothing, just you...you love it eh? Being on stage?" Ste replied warmly placing his hands across to link Brendan's fingers tightly

"Well...yeah in all honesty I do. I enjoy singing and the adrenalin ye get being up there, and people knowing your songs, and singing them with ye. Amazing" Brendan sighed then eating another mouthful of Ste's meal hummed contently. He gestured his fork to the plate. "This is amazing too, ye are a great chef, Glad I met ye now" Brendan chuckled

"Ha, told you I was! Thanks, I have been working in the restaurant these past weeks, unable to concentrate, can't think straight...without you" Ste glanced his eyes quickly at Brendan eating some more. "Anyway, so yeah not as interesting as your days eh?"

"I missed ye too Steven, every day. Why I contacted ye as much as I could"

"How long will it be before I see you again then, after tonight?" Ste looked down saddened.

"I am back in London for a week, Steven I am sorry. I have P.A's and radio interviews, magazine shoot, they will keep me busy. I will contact ye whenever I get a spare moment though" Brendan moved off the stool and moved to walk away beckoning Ste with him into the conservatory. There was a table set with two glasses and a bottle of expensive champagne, the Jacuzzi was bubbling as steam rose off it. Brendan pressed a button on a remote as blinds covered all the windows in it and switched the light to a warm glow.

"I thought we could get in this and drink this and do this..." Brendan pulled Ste into a warm embrace tilting his face to probe his tongue deep into Ste's mouth.

Ste pulled away drunk on Brendan's ability to kiss like a wet dream state and nodded in agreement. Stripping off they both settled into the hot water and relaxing instantly sitting opposite each other.

Brendan looked over at Ste relaxing in the water and tilted his head taking in a quick breath "Ye ever been to America Steven?"

"Nope,wouldn't mind though" Ste replied drinking his champagne and squinted when the bubbles tickled his nose.

"Yeah? So America...New York in particular,would you ever go if ye had chance?"

"Sure,for a holiday,who wouldn't?"

"How about for three months?" Brendan bit the end of one of his finger nails watching Ste take a slow gulp of his drink and gave a look of confusion.

"Three months? I wish! I can't with work though. Gotta earn a living Brendan!"

"Oh of course,your restaurant,umm could you get someone in,look after the place,till you got back?"

Ste settled his glass down at the side of him and folded his arms across his chest,widening his eyes at Brendan "Right! Spill,what's going on?"

"I don't think I could cope without seeing ye for three months is what. I want ye to come on tour with the band,with me,to America"

"What? You are leaving? You can't leave."

Ste pouted and quickly moved to straddle over Brendan's lap. He looked down at Brendan who looked apologetic at him.

"Oh no,you are actually serious aren't you...three months though?" Ste spoke with a solemn voice and went to move off Brendan but he pulled him closer.

"Come with me then"

Ste sighed "I have a job,a life here,I can't just leave for months at a time like you can"

"Why,ye ain't married,no ties,it'll be fun,you can see what I do first hand,like behind the scenes? Steven,I don't want to leave ye" Brendan moved his hand to cup Ste's face thumbing strokes over his cheek making him smile and close his eyes at the touch.

"Could I bring Sinead too?"

"Yes,bring her! So you'll come?"

Ste thought for a while before answering,dragging his hand through Brendan's chest hair,curling it around the tips of his fingers."I'll see if I can arrange cover at the restaurant,when do you leave?"

"In two weeks..."

"Oh blimey"

Ste laughed catching Brendan's soft gaze,he moved to kiss him sweetly,Brendan parting his lips enough for Ste to press the tip of his tongue there. It joined Brendan's and they sat Ste astride Brendan licking each other's mouth out enjoying the steamy bubbles popping over their bodies.

"Ye staying?" Brendan asked as Ste wrapped himself up in a bath sheet twice his size.

"Yes, If you want me too?"

"In my bed?" Brendan looked over at Ste who had stopped and looked back at him in shock."Um,only if ye want,I'm sorry,too soon. Ye can have the spare room" Brendan quickly glanced at the floor cursing under his breath.

"Hey..." Ste walked over to Brendan and tilted his face to him "I'd like that" Ste laughed when Brendan grabbed hold of his hand and raced him up the stairs.

Ste jumped on the king-size bed and stretched out on it. Brendan laughed and walked over crawling on top of Ste and licking over his nipples Ste arched into Brendan's tongue as it lapped into his belly button kissing there. Ste wriggled as Brendan lapped his tongue over every inch of his body.

Brendan climbed off the bed walking over to the drawer looking at Ste who had now rested up on his elbows.

"Ye want?" Brendan shook a tube of lube and condom at Ste and it made him laugh.

"I want" Ste nodded sticking his tongue out between his teeth.

Brendan settled with his back against the head board and gestured for Ste to sit between his legs back against his chest. Brendan smoothed his hands over Ste's thighs widening his legs for him.

Brendan placed some lube on one of his hands and used the other to turn Ste towards him as he kissed him pacing a wet finger at his hole he gently circled Ste there making him jolt up. Brendan placed the tip of his finger in pushing in and out Ste widened his legs and opened himself up more and keened into the touch when he pressed a full finger inside him, Ste moaned into Brendan's mouth kissing him desperately.

He placed two then three fingers inside Ste's entrance Ste thrust his hips onto Brendan's fingers as he loosened him caressing circling motions when he pulled out and pushed in deeper finding Ste's prostate grabbing his fingers at it. They were rocking together Brendan's moist hand made filthy noises the longer he fingered inside Ste as he melted in his arms begging for more."Brendan...oh god"

Brendan placed a condom on himself and Ste sat up and sank down over Brendan's cock still with his back to him. It was so tight, they moaned at the friction. Brendan kissed Ste until he was adjusted and comfortable. He stroked his thighs up,holding his legs high up in front of him spreading them out wide, his hands under the backs of his knees and lifted Ste up and down over his cock slowly with his strong hands and arms. Brendan pushed up hitting Ste's prostate he screamed out throwing his head back onto his shoulder. "Bren so deep...fuck yeah"

"Thought ye would like this position Steven,you feel so good"Brendan purred into Ste's ears making him whimper and close his eyes.

Ste placed his hand over his leaking cock and dragged his palm tight over himself moving his legs wider,his mouth open panting hard. Ste's arousal heightened as Brendan continued to lift him up and down on his cock, faster and faster until they were both moaning in pleasure. Ste came first contracting tighter around Brendan and dragging out his sperm into the latex. Brendan growled moving Ste's legs back down again slowly,his muscles tingled inside his used biceps . Ste moved off Brendan and he trashed the used condom. They collapsed together under the warm covers and huddled close and falling asleep.


One week later.

Cheryl switched on her P.C in the office and stretched back yawning into a satisfied groan when her bones cracked blissfully. Her fingers typed on the keyboard quickly as she accessed her emails, a daily routine for her. Cheryl clicked on one from a major tabloid newspaper and her heart sank, she gasped at the newspaper headline upon opening the attachment.

'Brady rocks house with mystery man'. ' Steven Hay gives telephone interview telling of their time together at the rockers' house. Fans will not be shocked as rumours of the star being gay has been rife for years as never being seen with anyone at award shows or other celebrity appearances. Mr Brady was not giving comment this morning.'

"Fuck!" Cheryl gasped and quickly grabbed her keys and set off to Brendan's home. On the way calling frantically trying to get Brendan to pick up, but he didn't. Instead he watched as his phone lit up with her name and picture as he ignored her calls over and over again. Brendan was stood outside Ste's flat,dressed head to toe in Black with a baseball hat and sun glasses as a quick form of disguise.

He stood looking at Ste's flat heart beating fast at his chest, and betrayal coursing through every pour of his body. He held a scrunched up newspaper tightly in one hand, the ink had started to paint over his palm the tighter and longer he held onto it. He'd read the paper first thing and he felt the moment his heart fell, couldn't believe Ste, the man he'd let himself get the closest too in his life had done such a thing.

He had to find out, and not thinking had driven fast out of his home gates managing to get away from the trailing press by driving around the longest,random way he could. Changing his appearance in his fast top of the range sports car and parking a long way from Ste's flat walking the rest of the way.

It was a risk but then, half his secret was already out now, they just didn't have a face or address for Ste, yet anyway. It was only a matter of time, and Brendan wanted to have it out with him before they did. Walking up to the door he hammered on it loudly not stopping until it was answered.

Sinead and Ste were stood there answering the door in there PJ's half asleep ready to skitz out at who was banging on their door at such a ungodly hour. Ste gasped when he saw Brendan stood there and grabbed him in by his jacket quickly popping his head out and looking around frantically in case anyone had seen him. Sinead gave her apologies and sauntered back to bed leaving Brendan stood in Ste's lounge, and Ste looking on in disbelief.

"Bren, what on earth are you doing here? You could have been seen!" Ste placed his hand on Brendan's chest but he moved to bat it away, leaving Ste puzzled.

"Hey, what was that for?"

"Ye know Steven, how could ye do this to me? I thought we had something here?" Brendan gestures between them both gripping tighter onto the newspaper.

Ste gulps with worry walking over to Brendan he removes his sunglasses and sees Brendan's eyes glazing over. "Brendan, look at me" Ste moves his hand to Brendan's cheek moving his head "We do have something; I feel it every time I'm with you"

"LIAR! Ye did this to us, ye went to the fucking press!" Brendan thrusts the newspaper into Ste's chest making him wince slightly

Ste picks up the newspaper as it fell to his feet, Brendan sits down hard on the sofa head in his hands. Ste opens up the paper and reads at the headline in slow motion trying to take in the words, the lies that are typed in black and white before him. He lets the whole thing settle in his mind before speaking again. He holds out the paper towards Brendan.

"You think I did this?"

"Yeah, it has your name written all over it Steven fucking Hay"

"Don't, don't you even dare. You know this wasn't me, right? Tell me you don't believe these lies" Ste shook the paper at him in disbelief.

"What else am I meant to believe? This sort of thing happens all the time, why should ye be any different? No wonder ye wanted to get in my bed so quickly!"

"You unimaginable bastard, get out, leave my flat and never come back" Ste threw the newspaper at Brendan's head and huffed into his bedroom throwing himself down onto the mattress and sobbing into the pillows.


The day before

Kevin placed the phone down and smirked to himself,he'd definitely sorted Ste out now He thought to himself. Stopped him getting his grubby hands all over Brendan. Kevin knew he'd never forgive such a betrayal after what Vinnie did to him. He knew the story,Brendan had got drunk one night and poured his sob story to Kevin before he let him go down on him and make him forget. Kevin smiled and left his hotel room to join everyone else in the bar for a drink.

Brendan's band members were there too huddled together happy celebrating the bands forthcoming jaunt to the States. Kevin wandered over to them and smirked at them,Warren tilted his head leaving the others to join him at the bar.

"Why are you still here?" Warren asked leaning on the bar and getting some more drinks in.

"I have every right to be,I am part of this tour whether you lot like it or not" Kevin hissed back drinking his beer

"You need to back off Brendan,he had his fun with you,now he's happy with Ste" Warren stood up placing his finger on Kevin's chest

"Yeah? Well you're all gonna see Ste Hay isn't such a nice man afterall,watch this space my friend,it'll all blow up in his face" Kevin laughed as Warren scrunched his face up. He grabbed Kevin by the scruff of his neck shoving him up against the bar,as Dennis and Simon quicky appeared by his side.

"Warren,let him go,he ain't worth it" Dennis cried

"He's been slagging Ste off" Warren seethed at Kevin as Simon moved his hand away.

"Kevin,why can't you keep your big gob shut?" Simon asked tilting his head to one side. Kevin smirked and got up to walk away.

"Read the papers much lads? Check out tomorrows editions,they gonna be a good read" Kevin added leaving the bar as the others looked at each other confused.


Brendan fisted at the arm of the sofa in anger, looking at his phone ringing again from Cheryl, he had as many voice mails as missed calls now. As Cheryl opted to text instead telling him to contact her asap. He sighed and went into the kitchen making himself a glass of water he downed it and cursed slamming the glass down hard.

Brendan walked down the hallway opening a door and finding Ste face down on the bed crying. He walked over removing his hat and coat and settled on the edge of the bed. Ste glanced around looking at him and choked back a sob.

"Why are you still here,told you to leave!?"

"Steven they know your name, they know about us, how?"

"I don't know, but it wasn't me who told them! Christ I wait weeks at a time to even see you, what have I to gain from losing you now!?" Ste yelled at the top of his voice and trembled clenching his fists so tightly. Brendan looked into his eyes and sighed placing his head in his palms.

"I don't know what to believe Steven! This has happened to me before,but this time...it's hurt like hell,not ye Steven,not ye"

Ste sighed heavy and sat up crawling over to where Brendan was sat and moved shaky hands around his waist, Brendan instantly closed his eyes to the touch of Ste's arms on him.

"I swear,on everything I love most in this world, I would never hurt you. I did not go to the press,I would never want to stop what we have. Maybe the press have seen Cheryl and I arriving at your house?" Ste suggested letting out a shaky breath,his heart still beating miles too fast

"Maybe,I don't know. We have hardly had the chance to each other. Unless,my phone...we text and call each other a hundred times a day! Brendan moved from Ste's grip and stood up walking over to the closed curtains he looked out of them at the eerily quiet neighbourhood and realised he had made a big error of judgement.

"So they've been monitored? God this is all so fucked up,of all the guys I had to meet!" Ste snapped back at Brendan who jolted out of his thoughts and text Cheryl where he was. Cheryl replied with a string of expletives before adding she was on her way.

"I'm sorry I reacted the way I did Steven,and to be honest, I'm not even bothered they know really"

"You're not?"

"No, I was just looking at the betrayal side of it, as I feel...strongly for ye Steven"

Ste climbed off the bed to Brendan placing him in his arms and stroked down his cheek slowly, moving close to Brendan and kissing him chased on the lips, Brendan cries out softly arching his arm around the back of Ste's head resting them together.

"I'm going to the press about us,make a formal statement." Brendan spoke leaning their foreheads together "Then we can stop this, stop the waiting around and be together properly"

"What?" Ste pushed Brendan away and looked into his eyes searching for answers."Hang on, ten minutes ago you was accusing me of betraying you, now you wanna go to the press yourself, and that's acceptable?!"

"I said I was sorry, I was just angry!"

"I know,and you are an idiot! So now I just have to accept the situation, change my life accordingly?" Ste gestured his hands up breaking away from Brendan's space and sitting on the bed crossing his legs.

"Ye want to be with me or not Steven?"

"Yes I do, just, let me breathe. I need to think about this" Ste shook his head sighing heavy.

"I'll go then, leave ye to breathe!" Brendan strode across the bedroom holding onto the door "Oh and just so ye know I am leaving next week,America? So don't leave it too long to decide whether I am good enough to be with."

Brendan left the room and Ste sat on the bed confused at the whole situation. There was a loud knock at the door, it jolted him into reality again. Ste got up thinking it was Brendan,but as soon as he opened the door a series of bright flashes went off in his face blinding him and spiking his body back in shock. Microphones were shoved in his face and a million different questions were put to him. Ste gasped trying to breathe with the onslaught placing his hands out in front of him as a shield.

He felt two arms around the back of him grab onto his waist and pull him backwards as he fell onto the floor in a heap. Sinead screamed at the press to leave Ste alone and slammed the door shut,kneeling down to an emotional and scared Ste they shared a hug as the knocking at the front door continued.
