CHAPTER 19 - Love has no limits

The next night.
"Paddy, this movie is boring" Marie exclaimed, yawning. It was 1am and they were up watching some corny action movie.
"This is a good movie" Paddy commented. Marie shrugged.
"I thought I'll do something more interesting." Marie exclaimed, walking towards the bedroom.
"Hey Marie, wait, come back here for a second." Paddy exclaimed. Marie walked back over to him and sat next to him on the couch.
"What?" Marie asked.
"Listen, I have this idea and you don't have to say anything yet just listen OK?" Paddy explained.
"OK" Marie replied. Paddy took a breath.
"OK, we have a 10 more shows left. I beg you, go for a tour with me for a month. I know you have school and job, but do it for me, just once. We are so close lately and I can't go on without you." Paddy said.
Marie stared at him. 
"You want ME to go on tour with you?" Marie asked. Paddy looked at her. 
"No, the person behind you" Paddy joked.
"Damn, I knew it" Marie joked.
"So, will you at least think about it?" Paddy questioned.
"Well, it sounds great and I would love to, but what about my school? And Jess" Marie questioned.
"Jess is a grown girl, and she was in tour with us once, you have never… And I can't loose my job, I have to pay for the room and study."
"I'll pay everything!"
"Paddy, listen, I don't want to take all your money, you don't have to do anything for me." Marie replied.
"Hello? Marie, are you nuts? We are together for such a long time. And who said I was doing this for you?" Paddy questioned, making a devilish grin. "You'll be with me, so everything you would be doing I'll pay for."
"It sounds too good to be true. All I have to do is be with you and you'll pay for everything? Study, phone bills, food… everything?" Marie questioned.
"Yeah" Paddy replied. Marie eyed him.
"You better not expect me to give you any while we're on tour, 'cause I won't" Marie joked.
"So, you'll go?" Paddy asked. Marie sighed.
"I'll think about it" Marie exclaimed, getting up to go to bed.

Marie stood by the window watching something with attention. Paddy came and hugged her back.
"Why me?" Marie questioned. "Out of all the women you must meet. Why did you ask me out?" Marie questioned, walking towards him.
"Because I love you, Marie. I don't want to lose you. Never again."
Marie turned back to face Paddy and kissed him.
"Will you go?" Paddy asked.
"Yes, I will!" Marie smiled.
Then she brought her lips onto his and seductively placed her tongue in his mouth. Paddy picked her up and brought to his bed. The two lost in their passion.

"How was the night?" Jess questioned as Marie came home.
"Paddy asked me to go with him to the tour. I feel like we are doing closer again, like the old days."
"Congratulations! You and Paddy match to each other."
"Thanks!"
"What do you think about Joey's and Jimmy's new loves?"
"I'm sorry, Jess."
"Don't be! I forgot about them already. We are friends now. Tanya is even nice, and Amanda is great too. I'm just sad that everyone has someone, and I have no one."
"How about Shane? He likes you."
"No, no! I don't like him at all."
"How about Mark, your classmate?"
"Haha, he is a bum!"

Next morning.
"Did anyone on ever tell you that you're beautiful?" Paddy questioned. Marie smirked.
"Nope, can't say that anyone's told me that one before" Marie joked.
Paddy leaned down and used his lips to pull hers apart. Marie had to admit that Paddy was the best kisser she'd ever known. He made her feel like she was the most important thing in the world to him and she certainly loved that.
"I'll race you to the other side of the lake" Paddy yelled. Marie pulled off her shorts and threw them on the dock.
"I swam that once, I was dead when I got home" Marie exclaimed. "Forget you" 
"Oh c'mon" Paddy begged.
Marie didn't notice Angelo coming up from behind her. He grabbed her hips and pushed her in the lake. Marie's body stung as the cold water touched it.
"This is cold!" Marie shrieked.
Paddy laughed and swam towards her. 
"You know how people always say, 'the warmer you are the faster you swim'?" Paddy questioned. Marie smiled.
"Go" Marie yelled.
She started across the lake, swimming as fast as she could. Marie could hear Paddy behind her in the water, halfway there, Marie could feel a cramp starting in her leg. She swam it out until she reached the shore at the other side of the lake. Marie was breathing heavy by then and Paddy had beaten her there.
"You even got a head start, losing to me must suck" Paddy joked. Marie gave Paddy a weak smile.
"I think I have a cramp in my leg" Marie complained. Paddy swam over to her. 
"Come here" Paddy exclaimed.
Marie swam over to him. Paddy took her arms and brought them around his neck, pulling her legs around his waist.
"Angelo and I were in the Mexico and I got a cramp. Angelo was watching some show once on how to get cramps out, it looks like we're having sex. The lifeguard came running out and Angelo had to explain to him what happened to me." Paddy explained.
Marie laughed, feeling the pain from her leg slowly leave. Paddy stared at her while he kept his hand on her thigh.
"I think I'm OK" Marie exclaimed.

"You aren't hungry?" Paddy asked Marie. Marie shrugged. Paddy leaned over and took the ham sandwich from her plate.
"You want this?" Paddy questioned.
"I lost my appetite" Marie muttered.
"Oh, I forgot, do you want to go with me to a wedding?" Paddy asked.
"Whose?"
"Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake from 'N Sync!"
"Whose??"
"Britney Spears and Timberlake, in America, Mississippi. She wanted to invite all important musicians on her wedding. She even invited us."
"You mean that Britney Spears??"
"Yeah, this Opps I did it again…" he sang.
"Wow, I meet Britney Spears!"
"I don't see why you're all excited, she's a bitch" Kira commented.
"Well, I love her music and by the way Kira when you're drunk you aren't such a princess yourself" Marie joked.

Marie took her head away from Paddy's lap and looked around the guys private airplane. It was lime green with silver chairs inside. They had a TV, CD Player, Karaoke machine, Nintendo, it was just like living in an apartment.
"How long till we get to Mississippi?" Marie questioned.
"Another hour" Paddy replied checking his watch.
"Another hour? Where are we staying?" Marie asked.
"Hotel, with other guests." Paddy replied.
"Hey Kira, you'll be nice tomorrow right?" Marie questioned.
"I guess I could lay off her for one day" Kira replied and laying back on Angelo. 
"I was watching the news when they got engaged and I heard she got a 45.000 USD ring" Marie commented.
"Mine was 25.000 USD" Kira exclaimed, holding her yellow canary diamond up.
"Well, money isn't worth it." Marie joked. Paddy made a face.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Paddy questioned.
"The amount of money famous people spend on rings is more than I have in my bank account over the whole life." Marie muttered.

"What are you doing?" Angelo questioned, standing up and walking over to Marie.
"I'm bored" Marie replied. Angelo pushed some buttons on the karaoke machine and soon behind her a video popped up on screen.
"Just push play and you can sing along" Angelo explained. "What song?"
"Um… Baby one more time" Marie replied.
The song started and Marie turned to face the screen.
"Oh baby baby..." Marie sang.
When she was done, Marie made a face.
"I sucked" Marie exclaimed.
"No girl, you can really sing!" Angelo replied. "You should go into the studio one day." 
"Angelo, don't even give her any ideas" Paddy yelled.
"Why? She has a great voice" Angelo explained. Paddy laughed.
"No" Paddy replied.
Angelo gave Marie a look. Marie made a face meanwhile, Paddy had picked up a magazine. Angelo put her arm on Marie's shoulder and turned her around.
"Girl, you should really try this, I'm not kidding, you have talent. Maybe you and I could get together and make a song…" Angelo exclaimed. "Just go over there and convince Paddy"
"Huh?" Marie asked, then understanding what Angelo meant. She walked towards Paddy. Marie took the magazine from Paddy and straddled him.
"Please Paddy?" Marie asked him. 
"No Marie" Paddy replied. "One of my ex-girlfriend had to choose between me and her career and I don't want that happening, especially because in the end she choose her career" 
"Paddy, I'm not telling you I'll even get a deal or anything. Just one song, Please! I'll have something to do on tour then." Marie explained. She made a pouty face and stared at him.
"No" Paddy replied.
Marie leaned up and pressed her lips to his, pressing him down so he was laying down on the couch. She kissed him for awhile, then brought her lips off his. 
"Please?" Marie whispered. 
"You have no idea what you're getting into, Marie, this life isn't all it's cracked up to be" Paddy mumbled.
"Well, I'll have you there with me every step of the way" Marie replied. Paddy sighed.
"You aren't going to stop bugging me until I let you record a demo, are you?" Paddy asked. Marie smiled.
"Do I look like girl who gives up so easy?" Marie asked.
Paddy looked at her, not wanting to forget what she looked like, he knew that by the time she would have a record out, if she got that far, she'd be a different person.
"No, I guess you don't, OK, we go into the studio next week, you can record a song, but first you have to write a song." Paddy replied.

"Let's go" Johnny yelled.
Marie grabbed her shoes and put them on quick, running from their hotel room. It was noon and Britney Spears was getting married at 12:30. Marie ran downstairs to the car and jumped in next to Johnny.
"You look sexy Marie" Johnny exclaimed.
Marie looked over at him in black pants and a tight black shirt with a white hat on. The hat looked like something you'd wear in winter. Marie smirked, only Johnny could pull off looking good in an outfit like that.
"You too Johnny" Marie replied.

The car stopped at a church. It was so small, that Marie wasn't surprised when they walked into the backyard of the church where chairs were set up. Marie sat in between Johnny and Paddy.
"Was your wedding this big?" Marie asked Johnny.
"No, we had maybe 200 people at most" Johnny replied.
"Do we have a present?" Paddy questioned.
"I don't think so" Marie replied. Paddy yelled at Kira to give him her purse, which was more like a bag. Paddy dug through it, looking for something. 
"You're going to give her something old?" Marie questioned. "I'd expect old stuff and toasters for my wedding, but with famous people, I'd expect them to give cars and houses."
"Actually, the richer people are, the cheaper they are" Paddy replied. He pulled out Kira's checkbook and sighed.
"How much should we give?" Johnny asked. Paddy looked at Marie.
"500 dollars?" Marie asked. Paddy shrugged.
"That sounds good" Paddy replied.

The music started as the flower girl walked down the aisle, followed by all the boys from 'Nsync and a girl friends.
"That's a beautiful dress" Marie exclaimed. Paddy's cell phone rang and everyone in the church looked at him. Paddy smiled and picked it up.
"Hello?" Paddy questioned.
"Paddy Kelly?" A voice squealed.
"Yes, who's this?" Paddy questioned, really annoyed.
"I love you so much" The girl exclaimed. Paddy clicked the phone off and put it back in his pants.

"Do we really have to talk to her?" Kira questioned.
"You promised you'd be nice" Marie exclaimed.
"Well yea, see, I don't talk to her so I wouldn't say anything to make her mad." Kira replied. Justin and Britney were standing on the sidewalk as people filed past, saying their remarks and leaving to go to the reception. They were next in line to talk to them.
"Hey Britney, congratulations!" Kira exclaimed.
"I'm sure you mean that" Britney replied. Kira smiled.
"That was a nice wedding, I was expecting fans to yell when they asked if anyone had reasons these two should not be wed" Paddy joked. Justin smiled.
"Hi, I'm Marie, Paddy's girlfriend" Marie exclaimed. "You guys are made to each other. And I love your music too. You all are so handsome!"
Marie gave them a hug and then Angelo handed them a check and made their way to the parking lot.
"Why didn't you ask for an autograph while you were at it?" Kira joked. Marie rolled her eyes and hopped into the front seat.

"This stuff is good" Marie exclaimed placing another spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.
"I think it sucks" Jimmy replied.
"This is the best ice cream!" Marie argued. Jimmy took a spoonful and offered it to her.
"Want mine?" Jimmy asked.
"Not after you touched it, I don't know where those fingers have been, or, who they've been in." Marie joked. Jimmy smirked.
"Funny Funny" He replied. Jimmy grabbed the top of the spoon and shot it over to Marie's face.
"You ass!" Marie screamed.
"I'm an ass?" Jimmy questioned.
Marie put her hand in her ice cream and flung it at Jimmy. It hit him in the forehead hard. Jimmy picked up his bowl of ice cream and started to walk towards Marie. She gave Jimmy a look.
"You wouldn't" Marie exclaimed.
"Marie honey, you don't know me well if you don't think I would." Jimmy exclaimed.
Marie heard the front door open so she took off toward it. Angelo and Paddy exchanged glances as they saw Marie running at them.
"Help" Marie yelled. She ran behind Paddy as Jimmy came around the corner, seeing everyone give him glances. 
"Well, well, what were you 2 doing?" Amanda questioned. Marie poked her head from behind Paddy and walked up to Jimmy, smirking, knowing he wouldn't hit her with the ice cream now that everyone was there.
"Jimmy hit me with ice cream" Marie replied. Jimmy turned to her and placed the bowl on top of her head. Marie screamed as the cold ice cream ran down her face.
"Jimmy" Marie cried. She ran to the bathroom to get it out of her hair.
"Marie?" Jimmy questioned, standing outside the bathroom door. She had been yelling swears through the door at him for about 15 minutes. Jimmy walked into the living room and plopped on the couch with Paddy.
"Man, you go get her out" Jimmy muttered. 
"I'm not going over there, she'll bite my head off" Paddy replied.
"Would that be so bad?" Jimmy questioned, moving his eyebrows up and down. Amanda was sitting on the floor with Kira and Angelo playing twister.
"Jimmy, you're a pig" Amanda snapped.
"But you like me being a pig" Jimmy replied.
"Right hand blue" Paddy announced.

Marie came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. Jimmy smiled at her.
"What?" Marie snapped.
"Oh nothing" Jimmy replied.
Marie made a face at him and started to walk towards her room.
"You know, you looked very sexy covered in cream" Jimmy said.
"I do? Thanks so much for the compliment" Marie replied, giving him the middle finger. Jimmy smirked, watching her go into her room.
"Would you stop flirting with Marie?" Amanda asked.
"Me?" Jimmy questioned.
"No me" Kira joked. "I'm a lesbian, didn't you guys know?"
"I'm not flirting with her, I'm just being myself, you guys know me, fun loving Jimmy" Jimmy replied. "Besides, I never steal anybody else's women"

Marie checked the clock, It was midnight and she wasn't tired one bit. She got out of bed and walked into the living, not surprised to see everyone up. 
"Hey" Marie exclaimed.
"Hey girl" Amanda replied. Marie sat on the couch next to Angelo and yawned.
"What are you guys doing?" Marie asked.
"We're watching something on video." Kira replied.
"Oh, I always wanted to see it" Marie replied. Angelo laughed.
"Well, you missed it, we started to watch it in the limo on the way over here, so we only had like an hour left" Angelo replied.
Marie glanced over at Jimmy and Amanda who were talking quietly.
"Where's Paddy?" Marie questioned.
"Outside" Angelo replied.
"Why?" Marie asked. 
"He always gets mad at little things" Kira replied quickly. 
"Oh" Marie mumbled. She stood up and walked over to the kitchen counter, noticing the balloons Jimmy had bought in the lobby.
"Why did you buy these Jimmy?" Marie questioned, holding them up. Jimmy glanced up and smiled. 
"To have a water balloon fight, I forgot about those" Jimmy exclaimed. 
"It's midnight" Marie replied as Jimmy walked towards him.
"In here?" Amanda laughed.
"No actually, we call the bellboy up and he usually gives us the keys to the roof" Jimmy replied. "You want to do it?"
"Sure" Marie replied. 

"Paddy!" Marie screamed as they walked into the lobby. Paddy turned around and smiled. She ran from the group over to him.
"Where did you go?" Marie asked.
"Walking down the road, there were some people playing guitar so I played with them" He replied. Marie leaned over. "What are you guys doing?" Paddy asked. 
"Um, water balloon fight on the roof I guess" Marie replied. Paddy smirked.

"Paddy!" Marie yelled as the red balloon crashed down on her. They were running around on the roof like 10-year-olds.
"Gotcha!" Paddy yelled when he caught Marie. He push her in the ground and kissed her. "Now you are paying me!" he kissed her again.
"Yo Paddy" Jimmy yelled. Paddy pulled away and turned towards Jimmy.
"What?" Paddy snapped. 
"We're going down, unless you want to be locked up here, you guys should come too" Jimmy explained. Paddy stood up and squeezed Marie's hand as they walked downstairs.

Marie opened her eyes and glanced at the clock, 6am. She turned around in the king size bed she and Paddy were sleeping in. He was snoring softly.
"Paddy" Marie exclaimed. Paddy mumbled something and kept on snoring. Marie shook him with her hand and tried to wake him up. Paddy's eyes popped open.
"What time is it?" Paddy asked sleeply.
"6" Marie replied. Paddy stared at her.
"Why did you wake me up, I was having a good dream" Paddy exclaimed. Marie smiled.
"I have an idea for my song" Marie replied.
"Yea, what?" Paddy questioned. Marie smiled sweetly.
"Well, it's going to be about you, but not so everyone knows it's about you, ya know?" Marie asked.
"Yea, annoying boyfriend? Ugly guy?" Paddy joked, wiping his eyes.
"I don't know yet, but those would describe you" Marie replied.
"Sing some" Paddy exclaimed.
"Well, I haven't wrote it yet, I need you to do that" Marie replied. Paddy looked pissed.
"You woke me up at 6am to tell me your idea? Couldn't it wait till 10?" Paddy asked. Marie shrugged.
"Go back to bed Marie" Paddy snapped.
She got out of bed and walked into the living room, surprised to see Kira up.
"It's 6am, what are you doing up?" Marie asked. Kira wiped her eyes and looked up.
"I couldn't sleep" Kira lied. Marie eyed her, it was obvious Kira had been crying.
"What's the matter?" Marie asked.
"I told you, I couldn't sleep, will you drop it?" Kira yelled. Marie sighed.
"Listen Kira, sometimes, when I'm feeling like shit, I feel a lot better if I get it off my chest" Marie explained.
Kira looked up at her. Marie made her way to sit next to Kira.
"Me and Angelo started to argue over some things" Kira explained.
"What kind of things?" Marie asked.
"Well, we put the marriage off this long, we were suppose to get married last fall! I want to do it know. And I know that he liked you a lot. Maybe he still does. I love him, can't he see that? Plus, he wants maybe 4 kids, I only want maybe one. And after all he wants me to sign the prenup." Kira explained. Marie thought for a moment.
"I'm sure that Angelo doesn't have any feeling for me… maybe just friendly. You don't need to worry about that."
"Yeah, I know that you and Paddy love each other."
"As long as you two are married, if you sign the prenup you get everything paid for, right?" Marie asked. 
"Yes Marie, but that isn't the point, marriage is suppose to be about love and trust. If he makes me sign it, then he doesn't trust me" Kira cried. Marie smirked.
"Just sign the damn thing Kira. He has to be careful. He is worth millions" Marie argued. "You'll get married soon. Angelo's a busy guy. He loves you and he wants it just as much as you" 
"You think so?" Kira asked. 
"Girl, I know so! Don't you see the way when you walk into the room his face brightens?" Marie asked. Kira laughed.
"I guess" She replied, wiping the tears from her eyes. "It was a stupid argument! So what are you doing up?"
"Well, you know how I'm going in to record a demo? Well, I have an idea for the song" Marie exclaimed. 
"What?" Kira questioned.
"Well, Paddy" Marie replied. Kira laughed. 
"What are you going to call it?" Kira asked. 
"I don't know yet" Marie replied. "I need to write it first"
"Well, did you know that 'I will be your bride' is for me?" Kira asked.
"No" Marie replied. "So you think I should write about how I feel towards Paddy?" 
"Yeah, I'm going to back to bed, good luck." Kira exclaimed, she walked away from Marie, leaving her sit there. 

The next day.
"Does it suck?" Marie questioned. Angelo looked at her.
"Do you want me to lie?" Angelo asked. Marie made a face.
"Why?" Marie questioned.
"Well, up beat songs are in now, not too slow." Angelo exclaimed.
"Thanks for the advise" Marie replied.

"I don't see why Angelo doesn't like it" Kira exclaimed loudly over the blaring music. They were sitting in a fenced in area that went around the stage.
"I think I'll keep it if I actually get as far as an album, make it another track on the single." Marie replied. 
"So you're actually thinking of a singing career?" Kira questioned.
"No, just kidding." Marie replied.
Kira handed her her written lyrics back. Brown drops fell onto the paper slowly. Kira looked up, to see what was falling. She turned around and saw fans standing behind Marie's back. They were holding an empty shake cup in their hands.
"What are you doing?" Kira yelled.
"We didn't mean to. Sorry" The 3 teenagers exclaimed, with no emotion at all. Marie stood up, feeling all sticky.
"What the hell?" Marie yelled, pulling her hand through her hair. People were starring at her, giving her weird glances. Marie was about to scream at them, but remembered that they were fans, and to piss off fans wasn't a good idea.
"We're really sorry lady" One girl exclaimed.
"I'm sure you are" Marie snapped.
"Listen, we told you we're sorry, you don't have to yell at us" Another girl exclaimed. A bodyguard was walking quickly over to them.
"Excuse me girls, would you please walk away?" The guard demanded.
The girls pulled out some cameras and started to take pictures. Kira was on edge.
"Get the fuck out of here" she screamed.
Marie ran from the fence.

"Marie, open up" Paddy yelled. Marie had taken a shower and was sitting on the toliet pouting.
"No" Marie replied.
Paddy sighed and grabbed the key to the bathroom door. He opened it and shut it behind him.
"Everyone's wondering how you are. Are you OK?" Paddy asked. Marie looked up.
"Do I look OK?" Marie questioned. "I hate when people are mad at me and here are 2 million people who want to pour their drinks on me."
"Do you care what they think? You'll never seen them again." Paddy replied.
He knelt down and put his hands on her knees. He looked up at Marie, who was still only in a towel and smiled at her.
"That's not the point Paddy" Marie exclaimed.
"What's the point then? So many guys have called me a fag, gay, it's not funny. It hurts a lot to think that people think I go that way. But, after awhile, you find that people don't actually believe that. They only say things to you because they're jealous. That's why they say stuff" Paddy explained. Marie laughed.
"That's the smartest thing I think I ever heard you say" Marie laughed. Paddy smiled.
"Uh??? I always say smart things." Paddy asked.
Marie stood up and Paddy wrapped her arms around his neck. His hands went to her back and they kissed.

"All I want is you, Now baby don't be shy, You better love me right because all I want is you, C'mon over, C'mon over baby" Marie sang along with the music of Mandy Moore in the airport.
"Marie, do you see how the guys are wearing glasses and hats? That's because we don't want attention." Kira commented. Marie laughed.
"This is a sweet song. I love it" Marie replied, humming with it.
"Marie" Someone screamed behind them.
"Shit" Jimmy mumbled. "Someone probably noticed you"
"Marie? Marie Reno?" The woman's voice rang out again. Marie swore under her breath. A person came out of the crowd around them.
"Marie?" She questioned. Marie stared at her for a moment.
"Katie?" Marie questioned. Katie wrapped her arms around Marie.
"Girl, why didn't you turn around? I was yelling your name." Katie asked.
"I didn't hear you" Marie lied. Katie's eyes moved to Paddy.
"Who's this?" Katie questioned.
"This is my boyfriend, Paddy Ke… Paddy" Marie replied.
"Hey Paddy!" Katie exclaimed, smiling at him sweetly.
"Hey" Paddy replied. People filed past them as they stood in the middle of the hall. 
"What brings you here?" Katie questioned. 
"Well, Paddy came here with his siblings for a wedding" Marie replied. Katie eyed the guys.
"Are they in some gang or something?" Katie joked, looking at them all in glasses and hats.
"No, but we need to catch a flight to Cologne so…" Marie started.
"I'm going to Cologne to! Maybe I can come with you?" Katie exclaimed. Kira smiled at her. 
"Can she come with us?" Marie questioned.
"No" Paddy replied.
"C'mon Paddy. She's my friend from elementary school, we're like best friends" Marie exclaimed. Paddy looked over at Katie.
"Fine" Paddy replied. Marie let go of Paddy's hand and ran over to Katie.
"You can come" Marie answered.

"I can't believe I'm on a plane with the Kellys" Katie exclaimed.
"Well, believe it" Jimmy muttered, sitting next to her, trying to sleep.
Katie stood up and walked over by Marie, Paddy and Kira.
"So Marie, how did you manage to meet Paddy?" Katie questioned, taking a seat next to Paddy.
"It's a long story" Marie explained. 
"Tell me!"
"Well… it's happen in our town…" Marie started.

"So you don't live in France anymore?"
"Yeah, I live in Cologne."
"Well, write your song yet?" Paddy asked.
"I had a pretty good idea, then some fan got me with a shake and ruined it" Marie replied. "But I have a new idea"
"Not me? I'm hurt" Paddy joked.
Marie smiled, leaning over to kiss him.
"Well, its about you and your fans" Marie replied.
"You're writing songs?" Katie laughed. "For them?"
"No, I'm thinking of singing" Marie replied. Katie shrugged. 
"Chris will freak when he hears about that" Katie commented.
"What? Why would my ex-boyfriend even be talking to you?" Marie snapped. Katie looked around.
"We've been dating for over 3 months" Katie replied. Marie stared at her friend. Marie was about to yell at her, but decided against it.
"Oh, how is Chris? Still an ass?" Marie snapped.
"Actually he's great. I love him to death" Katie replied.
"Oh, how sweet" Marie muttered. Paddy glanced at her. "I'm sorry Katie, that was rude"
"Hell, if I broke up with Paddy and you got him, I would kick your ass, so it's cool" Katie commented.

In Cologne.
"Chris" Katie screamed, running towards a guy wearing Khaki shorts.
"That's weird. He never used to wear nice clothes." Marie whispered in Kira's ear.
"He's a cutie" Kira replied. Marie put her head up as she walked towards the couple.
"Hey Chris" Marie exclaimed. Paddy came up by her side, wrapping his arm around her waist. Chris noticed the gesture.
"Hey Marie, what the hell are you doing here?" Chris asked.
"I'm here with my boyfriend Paddy" Marie exclaimed. Chris looked up at Paddy. 
"He's a Kelly boy" Katie commented.
"Really? Wow, I thought all you guys were gays" Chris exclaimed. Paddy laughed.
"Well we aren't" Paddy replied. He started to pull Marie away when Chris noticed Kira.
"Excuse me, Are you the Kira Harm?" Chris questioned. Kira smiled.
"Yea, Why?" Kira asked.
"Where is your Angelo?" asked.
"He is in the bus, sleeping. Why?"
"Such an ass! Sleeping when he has a girl like you."

"Oh" Marie sight and climbed onto the bed and slid herself next to Paddy, putting her head on her chest. "I thought of life with a Kelly boy would have much more chaos" Marie commented.
"I thought the life with a French girl would be a lot more fun" Paddy joked.
Marie sighed and took her head off his chest, staring into his eyes.
"Marie, listen, Angelo told me how you wrote that song. He told me it was really good" Paddy started. "I wish my life upon no one. Not able to go outside, sitting around. Exhausted from a tour. People calling you and the people's you love names That's why I didn't want you to be in the business with us… Being famous isn't all"
"Paddy, if you don't want me to sing, all you have to do is tell me, I don't care what I do" Marie replied. "Paddy, I don't care what I do, as long as I'm happy… and I'm happy when you are happy." Marie replied. "I'm going to take a shower. You should too you stink"
"Oh, thanks" Paddy replied. Marie got off the bed.
"You wanna take one with me?" Marie questioned. Paddy laughed then noticing the serious look on Marie's face, he stopped.
"Seriously?" Paddy asked.
Marie pulled off her shirt and flung it at Paddy, then walked into the bathroom. Paddy smiled, the followed her into the bathroom. 

Marie pulled on a pink polo sport tank top, then unwrapped her hair from the towel she had on her head. Paddy stood behind her, pulling some boxers on. She walked into the bedroom to grab a pair of shorts. 
"Yeah… so Paddy… what are the plans for tonight?" Marie questioned. Paddy looked up at her.
"Well, the show is at 7. It's 5 now so I guess we'll go get something to eat" Paddy replied.
"Then we stay here?" Marie questioned.
"Actually no, we leave tomorrow morning, to Bonn. I want to show you my new place." Paddy exclaimed. Marie smiled.
"You bought a new apartment??"
"Well… yeah… Now Adam lives there to watch over my pets."

"Thank you Cologne, you were great" Paddy screamed, walking off stage.
"Geez… You're all sweaty and disgusting" Marie cried.
Jimmy walked over by her.
"I heard you two had a wild shower today" Jimmy smiled. Marie shot Paddy a glance. 

"You told Jimmy?" Marie screamed. 
"Marie, you're overreacting" Paddy replied.
"I am?" Marie screamed.
They were riding in the elevator up to their room. All the other stood quietly, not saying a word.
"I don't see why you think this is such a big deal" Paddy commented. The door popped open and Marie stepped out.
"I wouldn't like people know what I do in bed." Marie screamed.
"Marie Reno?" The bellboy questioned.
"Um, yes?" Marie asked.
"There's a lady here, named Katie James, she says she's your friend, should I send her up?" The bellboy asked.
"No, I'll be down" Marie replied. "Katie's in the lobby, I think she wants to party or something, I'll be home later" Marie said, walking from the room.

"Night" Marie exclaimed.
Chris balanced her on his shoulder as she tried to stick her room key in the door.
"Here, let me help" Chris suggested. He took the key from her and stuck it in the lock. The door opened and Marie stumbled in.
"I had fun" Marie exclaimed. Chris smiled.
"It was like old times" Chris commented. Marie smirked.
"Not exactly" Marie replied. She closed the door on him and stumbled in the dark. Marie fell to the bed and sighed.
"Marie?" Paddy asked. He turned on a light. Marie squinted. 
"What are you still doing up?" Marie questioned, slowly saying her words so she didn't slur.
"I waited for you, I wanted to apologize" Paddy exclaimed. Marie laughed.
"It's OK" Marie replied. Paddy squinted.
"You're drunk" Paddy exclaimed.
"Not too much" Marie lied. Paddy sighed.
"C'mon, we have a flight at 10 tomorrow. You need sleep" Paddy exclaimed. Marie bit her lip, bringing herself forward. She straddled Paddy, starting to give him slow wet kisses. Paddy pulled away.
"Marie, what are you doing?" Paddy asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing" Marie asked, going to kiss him again. Paddy pulled away.
"You were so pissed at me awhile ago. Now you want to have sex?" Paddy argued. Marie giggled.
"Yea" Marie replied. She pressed him to the bed. Paddy pushed her off him.
"Marie, no, you are drunk." Paddy exclaimed. Marie put her arms around his neck, pulling him back to the bed.
"We do it now, or I'm going down the hall and finding someone else to sleep with" Marie snapped.

Marie opened one eye, then the other. Her head ached and for some reason. Her body ached too. Marie sat up, she held her head so she wouldn't get dizzy, then yawned. She stood up, then jumped back into bed when she noticed she was naked. Marie swore, then lifted up the cover and peeked under, to see Paddy naked too.
"Damn" Marie muttered. She tried to remember what happened last night but her mind came up blank. Marie stood up, wrapping the sheet around herself and got her clothes on.

"Hey" Marie exclaimed. 
"Hey" Paddy mumbled. They stood in silence for a minute.
"We have to talk?" They both exclaimed in unison.
"You go first" Marie instructed. Paddy sighed.
"You came home pretty drunk and I have to admit that I was pretty turned on. I know it wasn't right, but sorry Marie…" Paddy explained bluntly. 
"Excuse me? What did you say?" Marie exclaimed in a bitchy tone. She had guessed that, but not until he had told her it hit home.
"You heard me... You started this all. Hell, you were the one ripping off my clothes!" Paddy yelled. Marie sighed.
"You used me?" Marie screamed. "Damn you, you used me… shit!!!"
"Listen, Marie I cant take what I did back" Paddy explained.
"No shit" Marie yelled. "You are a bastard Paddy, you known that?"
"I know I deserve that but Marie, I care a lot about you... I didn't mean for this to happen this way… but why are you mad anyway. It was not our first time" Paddy exclaimed. He walked towards her but she pushed him away. Marie didn't know her own strength and was surprised when Paddy fell to the ground and hit his head on a dresser… 
"Yeah, but you used me when I was drunk" Marie snapped, walking out of the room.

"Kira?" Marie yelled to the door. She banged on it again until she opened up. 
"What?" Kira snapped. Her hair was all frizzy and she had an angry look on her face. 
"Can we talk?" Marie questioned. Kira stared at her for a second. Marie didn't look too good. 
"OK" Kira replied. She closed the door for a minute and pulled some clothes on. Kira opened the door back up, letting Marie in.
"Well, OK" Marie commented. "I came home pretty drunk last night and I guess I was asking for it and Paddy and I had sex"
"What?" Kira asked. "Did he make you?"
"No, I mean, I was drunk so I don't remember" Marie explained. "I don't know what to do with him" Marie said with a confused look upon her face.

"Hey Marie" Katie yelled 
"Yeah?" Marie replied. 
"Chris's having a party tonight, you and Paddy are free to join us" Katie offered.
"Sure, we'll be there... I need to get away for a bit" Marie commented.
"Cool… see ya then" Katie exclaimed, walking away from Marie and giving Paddy a cute little smile.

"Nice house...." Marie exclaimed. 
Thanks" Chris said.
He was leaning next to her in khaki shorts and an open Hawaiian shirt, showing off his well-built stomach.
"And when we were dating all that time you never took me down here..." she commented.
"I couldn't 'cause it wasn't here at that time... that's why" he explained. "Want anything to drink?"
"Oh yeah… bring over 3 wine coolers... they'll go fast" Marie replied. "I'm going to have me some fun tonight!"
"Umm OK... I'll be back" he said. Paddy came over.
"Hey" Paddy said. She just looked the other way and didn't say a word to him. "Nevermind then..."
"Here you go" Chris exclaimed, pushing Paddy to the side and handing Marie her drinks.
"Thank you" Marie exclaimed sweetly.
She walked away with Chris leaving Paddy by himself. 
"What a bitch" Katie whispered in his ear. Paddy spun around.
"Hey Katie. No, she's just mad at me" Paddy replied. Katie picked a shot glass off the bar.
"Want one?" Katie offered.
"I better not" Paddy replied. Katie put her finger in the shot and wiggled it around, then put her finger to her lips.
"Just because she's mad doesn't mean you can't have any fun" Katie replied with a sexy grin on her face.

"Do you think it's hot in here?" Marie asked Chris. He smiled at her.
"Yeah" He replied.
They were sitting on a leather couch in his living room. On Marie's right 5 guys had the beer bong out, pouring 3 cans at a time down the tube. 
"I'm so hot" Marie commented. 
"I know" Chris replied, kissing her shoulder.
'Wow I'm drunk again' She thought to herself.
She brought her hands under her tank top and pulled it off, revealing her black bra.
"You know what I want?" Marie questioned, bring her face close to Chris's.
"Me?" Chris asked.
"No silly, another drink" Marie replied.
She saw Katie and Paddy sitting at the bar so she made her way over. She pushed between the two of them and faced Paddy.
"Hey" Marie exclaimed. The music was blaring and in order to talk, everyone leaned close to everyone else.
"Hey" Paddy replied, not knowing what to expect from Marie.
"Can I have another vodka and diet coke?" Marie questioned.
"Is that still your favorite drink?" Katie questioned.
"Yep" Marie replied.
"Do you want a shot?" Katie asked, offering her one.
"No, but I saw these 2 people in the living room, they're a really cute couple, so why don't you go steal her boyfriend? I mean, you seem like you like doing that sort of thing" Marie commented.
"Me? You went off with mine so I went off with yours" Katie replied. Marie stared at her for a moment.
"Have fun" Marie exclaimed, walking away from them.
She pulled a cherry from a cup and held it above Paddy's lips. 
"Open up" Katie exclaimed, dropping it in his mouth. 

"It's so pretty out here" Marie exclaimed. She was sitting by a lake with Chris.
"Yeah it is" Chris replied. "You must be loaded Marie, dating Paddy and all"
"No, I got used to it, plus I'm not with him for his money, I like him a lot." Marie replied. Chris leaned down and started to kiss her. Marie pulled away.
"What are you doing?" Marie asked. Chris leaned down and started to press her onto the sand. She eventually gave in and started to kiss back. They sat kissing for a few minutes when Chris heard faint snoring.
"Marie?" Chris questioned. He shook her, trying to wake her up. Chris sighed and stood up.
"Stupid slut" Chris muttered, kicking sand on her and walking away.
