Leela's POV
I straighten myself out. I suddenly feel very nervous. Meeting Conor's Management is so nerve wracking. We still have so much work to do and only tonight and all day tomorrow.

Conor's POV
I open the door wondering what Paul could want, he said he wasn't going to disturb us for the next 24hours so we can sort our covers.
As the door opens I realised it's not my manager Paul instead it's G.

'Mate, long time no see' he says pulling me in for a hug.
'Mate how are you?' I say standing there not sure to invite him in.
'Good good, how are you man?' He says walking in before I even have chance to decide to invite him in or not.

As I go to speak George speaks over me.
'Lee what the hell are you doing here?' Shit he sounds angry.
'Oh hi nice to see you too' Leela answers rolling her eyes.
George looks at me 'What's she doing here?'
'She' Leela says.

Ah it's going to be awful. This was a huge mistake. I really want Leela to be here but I don't like the tension. I heard about G and Lee from Jack. He said that both has said it was a one night thing and they left in good terms so why the tension?
Before George could say more I quick speak.

'Leela is going to be singing two songs with me mid set, I thought Paul would have told you'
'No he didn't, Mate you know who she is don't you?'
'Jacks best mate?' I ask. I stare at Leela and she is shaking her head to say not to tell G about us. Maybe there was more to it then I know.
'Yer, this is the girl that I told you about'
'Oh, ok well I'm sorry man but your going to have to accept that she is here'

Leela's POV
What the hell is he talking about? The girl I told you about repeats in me head? Is he nuts?
We both had drunken meaningless sex? What is his problem? It didn't mean a thing at least it didn't for me. I honestly didn't think I'd ever have to face him again.

'Conor, we need to work' I say
'G my man why don't I meet you down stairs for a drink later have a proper catch up over a pint or something'

'Yer alright, bye mate, Leela'

Conor closes the door and comes to sit next to me on the sofa. 'This isn't going to be easy is it?' He says looking at the floor.

I honestly have no idea what his on about.

'George can't know about us' Conor Says
'What?,Why?'
'Babe you know you broke his heart don't you'
I have no words, I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out, I'm gobsmacked.
'What?'
'He fell in love with you, he told me and Jack that you went on a couple of dates and went for a drink and he came back to yours and the next day he never heard from you again'
'Are you for real?
'Eh well yer'
'Conor I've never dated him? We been out with the same group of friends a few time. I mean one time I saw him in Starbucks and we had a coffee together but it wasn't a date. Yes we had a drunken one night stand. I didn't contact him because I don't have his number, it was meaningless, we both agreed this when he left'
Why am I justifying this.
Conor gets up and pours himself a drink.
'Shall we decide on a second song then?'
'Conor'
'Leela, i don't care about what happened between you and him, I don't want to talk about it. I can't stand the thought of you and him together. It's in the past and that's where it can stay. I won't let this to be awkward! This is meant to be something magical for me. I invited you to come because I want you to be apart of this with me, I want to get to know you and I want this to be perfect. I'm not letting what happen ruin this'.
'Conor I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come'
My heart is pounding.
'Look I can book myself the next flight home. This is your moment and I don't want to spoil it for you'
Before he can answer I get up and go to the bathroom and I lock the door.
I can't help but think this is it. The end..
Not just my big opportunity but the end of me and him. It's ended before it's even began.

'Leela, can I come in'
I don't answer I can't. Tears are running down my face. It shouldn't be like this.
I unlock the door and he comes in. He doesn't say a word he just pulls me in and holds me.
We stay like this for a while and he starts running a bath.
I'm so confused.
'I'm going to sort this, have a bath. Relax have a glass of wine. I'm going to go and talk to G. I'm going to explain it all get it all out in the open. I'm not being here without you! I'm not letting him come in between us.' Conor pulls me up, I'm sat on the toilet seat.
'Conor I don't want to spoil this for you, if things are meant to be between us then we will be okay when you get home'
'Babe your not going anywhere' he kisses me.
'I think I'm falling in love with you'
'Conor' I kiss him so hard.
'I think I'm falling in love with you too'
We kiss, one things lead to another and we end up doing it in this beautiful bathroom.

Conor gets dressed to go and speak to George and I get into the warm bath. I pull the plug out and top it up with hot water and Conor comes back in with a glass of rose and leans down and kisses me.
'I will be back in an hour, we need to work out what the second song is going to be. Tomorrow we are going to have to work hard'
'Okay' I say smiling.
'I'll miss you'
'I'll miss you more'
'See you in a bit' he leans down and kisses me. His soft warm lips I could kiss them forever!
