"I am very happy for you boys. It's a new journey from now on. Just remember to keep them happy. That's all that matters. See you later" David Walter, the producer says and shaking his hand with both Chris and Peter. The good news came a few days back, they got selected and working with David Walter is a ticket to success.
"I can't believe it. You guys did amazing" Naomi says hugging Peter and Chris.
"I am so proud of you." I say hugging them next.
"As this deserves a celebration let's go for a drink" Peter proposes and we agree to meet in the evening.
We drive back to our hotel and seeing Chris so happy makes my heart melt. I haven't seen him so happy and joyous in a long time and now that his dream is coming true it feels surreal. As soon as I enter the room and slight feeling of disappointment fills in my heart. I miss my family and friends and it's been so long and they haven't come. Is Uncle Richard not even trying to find me? has be given up? I know I am far away from home, across so many dimensions somewhere in the universe far away from where I belong. What must have Paul told mom?
I remember how over protective he is about me when it comes to dating. Well fortunately for him it's not been too many of them. How would he have reacted if I told him Christopher Defoe was my boyfriend?
I see Chris go into the bathroom and I know how happy he is and I don't want to ruin his mood. Everything has changed so fast so quicky within months.
"Are you going for a shower next?" Chris says bringing me back to reality. I feel like I am going to swoon. I force a smile and nod my head. He looks at me a little concerned but lets it go.
I strip my clothes and let the hot water run through my body making me feel a little warmer. I still feel so antsy at the thought that I might never get home, never go back to school and never see my family and friends anymore. I feel forfeit of the happiness I want, a want to experience happiness without being stressed at the back of my mind. Chris is doing everything to keep me happy, he has been earning and without anything in return he is keeping me better than he possibly can
"Your clothes are outside" his voice penetrates through the door reaching my ear.
"Get them near the door I'll take it"
"Can I come in too?" I hear him say and I can imagine the smug expression on his face.
"No you can't" I say
I hear him laugh and I wrap the towel around my body and walk towards the door to open it and receive my clothes. He is holding my clothes in his hands and his eyes are shut and the smug expression still on his face.
"I like the integrity" I say smiling, he smiles with his eyes closed.
"Now take your clothes I can't resist this any longer" He says biting his lips.
I take my clothes and close the door behind me.

"And so that was it, I never went to my grandmother's house after that" Chris says.
"Well I wouldn't blame you mate " Peter says.
We laugh as we talk through dinner, I honestly still feel a little gloomy and hurt throughout and I know that Chris can sense it. He knows me better than anybody sitting on the table. We have a little toast on the name of their first album. We have our train back to Liverpool tomorrow night. All the recordings will happen in David's studio in Liverpool.
"So that was a hearty dinner so can we head back?" Peter says standing up and we all nod.
"You guys go ahead. Amelia and I planned to have a walk after dinner"
