"Right so eh I guess we'll all stay here for the night." Cara said. "But tomorrow we defiantly need to get a move on." She continued. "Okay." Lauren smiled.

RECAP OVER

CARA, KAYLA, DANIEL & RYAN - DINNER AT THE BAR - 5:34pm

"Um yes, I'd like those two burgers there la, a large coke and a large chips." Cara pointed out on the menu. The four of them were all sat at a little table in the bar of the motel. The bar was dark and dusty but surprisingly quiet, just like the lobby area.

The waiter nodded before giving a double glance at Cara. Daniel sat up straight. "Uh, yeah well I'll give you my order there. I'll have the chicken fajitas and roast potatoes. Thanks." Daniel said loudly. The waiter looked at him quickly as he wrote down their orders and scurried off.

Ryan sipped his beer. "Isn't it a bit early to be drinking?" Kayla questioned as she raised her eyebrow. "It's never too early to drink." Ryan smirked as he started to laugh a bit. Cara and Daniel glanced at each other before looking away quickly.

Kayla cleared her throat. "So, whats the story with James? We heard about the whole thing that happened.." Kayla trailed off. "Well I told him at the next hotel stop he'd be going home. He just causes too much hassle for me and especially Daniel." Cara said as she reached her hand out across the table and layed her hand down on Daniel's forearm. He looked up at her and smiled.

Kayla and Ryan wiggled their eyebrows. "So is he leaving like tomorrow?" Ryan asked as he took another sip. "No, this is a motel. We'll let him go where theres more services for him." Cara answered as she took back her hand. Ryan nodded as he let out a loud burp.

"Oopsie, sorry." He smiled sheepishly.

"I have your orders here." The waiter came back over as he glanced a look at Cara. Daniel caught this and cleared his throat. "Thanks." He said loudly and bluntly as he stared at the waiter. The waiter nodded and walked off.

"Oh yes boys, this looks unreal!" Cara clapped her hands excitedly as she looked at her two cheese burgers and chips with loving eyes. Daniel smiled as he tucked into his own food.

"Where do we go after this anyway?" Kayla asked. "Houston, Texas." Cara said. "Wasn't that fella who groped Lauren in L.A a week back from Texas?" Daniel said. "Ah, what're the odds of actually seeing him. He was a drunk little fecker anyway." Cara said as she squinted her eyes and the thought of the husky man. Daniel shrugged and nodded. "We shouldn't worry anyway, she'll be grand once she's with Luke." Cara winked. The group started snickering but stopped when Kayla nodded at the door. Lauren and Luke walked in, followed by Stuart and Jeremy. Lauren walked over to the group while Luke, Stuart and Jeremy went to get drinks really quick.

"Heys guys, whats the goss?" Lauren chirped as she pulled a chair over and sat next to Kayla. "Oh, nothing." Cara snickered as she covered her mouth. Lauren raised an eyebrow at her but shrugged it off as she stole on of Cara's chips. Cara slapped her hand viscously and Lauren jumped back. "God, you're a feisty thing aren't ya?" Lauren laughed. "I am when its comes to my food." Cara defended herself. "And yer men." Lauren smirked as she glanced at Daniel then back at Cara. Cara opened her mouth but stopped when Stuart, Jeremy and Luke came over.

Stuart sat next to Cara and Jeremy sat next to Stuart while Luke pulled over a chair and sat next to Lauren. Lauren couldn't stop smiling as she cleared her throat giving Cara pleading eyes to start conversation.

"SO, lads our next stop is Houston, Texas. Doesn't seem exciting but its where Queen B was born!" Cara exclaimed as she took her first bite of her second burger.
