Conor POV
I leave Leela in the bath, I haven't got a clue what I'm going to say to G, I have to sort this out.  Not just for the tour or Leela even.  I have to sort this for me! I really do think I love her. 
I get to the bar and George is there with two beers.
'George man'
'I got you a beer, shall we sit down?'
We find a table and I take a sip of the ice cold beer.
'So how do you know Leela? How comes she is here?'
'Well she is best friends with Jack, when I went back to London for a couple of weeks I meet Leela, we did a cover together'
'Yer I saw it, it was banging.  I didn't even know Leela could sing'
'She is incredible.  You can understand why I had to have her come on tour'
'I guess.  Erm I gather you are both together?'
I go to speak but G carries on talking.
'Look, it was a shock seeing her, it won't be awkward for us all.  It's easy to see you both have a connection'
'I didn't know this was the girl you liked, I would never have gone there if I knew.  Lee said that it was a one night thing?'
' I really fancied her from when I first met her  when she was a dancer, we hung about abit with mates and Leela's Boyfriend was so controlling.  I wished that I could be the one to make her see what he was like.  I didn't hear from her for ages and then I saw her with friends and we hung about abit, I knew her to say hello too.  We bumped into each other and had a coffee to me it was like a date and then when we got together I really thought I really could be the guy to treat her right.  When I spoke to her the next morning she said she couldn't be in a relationship and she was sorry.  I agreed so I didn't look silly.  I didn't hear from her so I suppose I got bitter.  I don't like her like that now'
'I didn't realise how bad this Mason guy was towards her'. I feel sick almost thinking about it.  No more arguing with her.  I can't let her think I'm like him.
'Are we ok?' I ask G
'Of course we are and plus Mandy is coming down tomorrow for a few nights'
'And your cool about me and Lee?'
' yer of course'

We have another pint together before I go back up to my room.  I don't realise I've been gone over 2 hours.
I get back to the room and the TV is on and Leela is fast asleep in bed.  I feel so bad I said I'll only be an hour.  Should I wake her? We still have to sort a song and practice. 
I leave her to sleep, I kiss her on her cheek and head for a shower before climbing in next to her.  As I get in to bed Leela rolls over and wraps her warm body all round me.
This is literally heaven to me!
