George's POV

We arrive at the hotel with swarms of fans outside. I listen as Cynthia fills Kara in on the best way to get from the car to the building. As soon as the door opens, John jumps out first and is immediately grabbed by several officers who run him quickly inside. The same with us other three. The door shuts and I catch a glance of the driver pulling away. He'll go around the corner to let the girls out.

Once we are safely inside the hotel, we straggle about waiting for the girls as Brian gets room keys. When I see Kara, she looks beat. They must have encountered fans because the other three look just as crazed. I wrap my arm around Kara and take a key from Brian.

"We've two hours before sound check." He says.

"I suggest you eat and sleep." We all nod and make our way to the lifts.

Our rooms are on the very top floor, all suites. Since we came in couples, Brian arranged us all separate rooms. When Kara and I walk into ours, she flips on the telly. It's turns to the news. There's a slightly blurred picture on the screen. It's of me in front and Kara closely behind, holding my hand.

"That was fast." She says, eyes glued to the screen.

"You'd be surprised at how quickly news travels about any of us lads." I say, sitting next to her on the bed.

She nods quietly, still staring at the telly. I go to the kitchen section of the suite. I open the fridge and find it fully stocked. I pull out some food and prepare an early dinner for Kara and I. While I'm cooking, she comes out.

"What happens now?" She asks.

"We wait. Eventually it'll die down. I'm sure not any time soon since I was the only bachelor of the group. Even though I actually wasn't." I wink at her.

"Okay." She says.

She sits as I present her with a plate of spaghetti.

"Wow. I didn't realize how hungry I was until now." She said. I laugh and sit next to her.

We eat in silence.

"I'm going to shower." I tell her.

"Okay. I'll shower after." She says.

I kiss the top of her head as I walk behind her. As I shower, I think of what just happened. It feels good to have it out in the open but we're going to get such a backlash for this. I turn off the water and walk to the mirror.

"I love you always." I write in the steam.
