cringed as he heard the raised voices backstage, he recognised them immediately and let out a long frustrated sigh as his little sister came storming over to him. “Problem ?” He asked with a knowing smile. “You need to get new friends” said angrily. “No, you two just need to get on with each other” replied, sick of hearing the same thing from both of them and sick of them constantly being at each others throat.
“I’m going back to the hotel. If I hear his stupid voice or look at his ugly mug one more time I think I’ll end up killing him” She sighed.
“You still coming to see us later?” asked turning his head to look at her. “Depends…is he going to be there?” She said through gritted teeth. laughed, “I think there might be a chance, seeing as he’s in the band and we’re performing” “Suppose I could bring my headphones so I don’t have to listen to him singing” She said with an evil smirk.
shook his head as she walked away, he sometimes regretted getting his sister the job as Westlife’s costume designer but deep down he’d hoped that maybe if she spent more time with they would stop hating each other. He should’ve known better, they’ve hated each other since they were kids and he had no idea why.
heard a door slam and turned around to see walking towards him, his face like thunder. “Alright ?” He asked, waiting to hear what his sister had done this time to piss him off. “No, I’m bloody well not alright. Can we sack your sister?” He asked seriously.
smiled and shook his head, “Just because you can’t stand her doesn’t mean we can get her fired, she’s good at her job. Surely even you can admit that?” “I dunno, we’ve had better. The designer we had on the first tour was my favourite. always makes my trousers too tight anyway and I know she does it on purpose” said with a smirk. “Don’t be ridiculous, course she doesn’t…” laughed. “Whatever mate… I’ll see you later” said with a wave of his hand as he walked away. “Where you going?” called after him. “I’m heading back to the hotel to relax for a bit before tonight” replied, knowing that was never going to agree to anything bad being said about his sister.

walked up to his hotel room door and swiped his key card in the lock, the door clicked open and he walked inside, closing it quietly. He walked through the spacious suite and smiled as he noticed the large vase full of daffodils that sat on the small table by the door, the ones he’d bought for her and left in her room. Steam hung in the air of his suite and he knew the shower had just been used, his smile grew wider as he pushed the door to the bedroom open and saw her, sitting on his bed wrapped in a towel. Her hair was damp from the shower she’d just had and she had a glint in her eyes as she looked up at him.
“Did anyone suspect anything?” She asked as he walked over to her, running his fingers through her silky wet hair. shook his head, “No, I think we were very convincing” he said with a smile as he thought about their earlier argument, “Do you think we should tell them about us?” shook her head as she stood up, wrapping her arms around his neck, “And miss seeing that look in your eyes when we’re pretending to hate each other in front of everyone. Do you have any idea how sexy you look when you’re angry?”
laughed at her as his thoughts drifted back to when his feelings for her changed and a small smile spread on his lips. “What you thinking about?” She asked, noticing how seemed to be deep in thought. “Our first night together” grinned at her, his hands slowly trailing down the curves of her back, “You remember?” She nodded her head as she stared into his eyes, she smiled as she saw the wicked glint in his eyes, “Of course I do, I still can’t believe it took us so long to get together” “Well you were a pain in the arse” He laughed as she playfully slapped him.
It was summer, the sun was beating down and everyone was out in force for the may day parade. and his band mates, were due to perform later that night after the parade. The performance went down a lot better than they’d hoped and all decided to go out and celebrate at a club. over heard on the phone to his younger sister and rolled his eyes as he heard him invite her along to their celebrations.
During the course of the evening, the alcohol flowed and had successfully managed to stay away from his best friends sister, not wanting to cause an argument whilst they were out. Just as they were about to leave the club they’d ended up in, spotted her over the far side of the room. She was stood next to a guy and he was roughly trying to get her to leave the club with him. noticed his grip on her arm as she struggled to free herself from his grasp. He glanced around the club for , or and sighed as they were no where to be seen. He knew would kill him if anything happened to his little sister so he made his way through the crowd and over to her.
Wrapping his arm around her waist, he smiled at her, “There you are babe, I’ve been looking all over for you” The man stared at and slowly released his grip from her arm, walking away as he muttered some obscenities about her being a tease.
“You ok?” asked once they guy was out of sight. She shrugged his arm from her waist and moved away from him, “I’m fine. I don’t need you to help me, I had that under control” She snapped at him. “Yeah… looked like it” bit back, sarcastically. “Whatever …just leave me alone” She said and walked out of the back door of the club.
stared after her retreating figure, he knew they never saw eye to eye but he’d at least expected a little gratitude from her. He hated to think what might’ve happened if he’d not interrupted them. He stormed out of the back door of the club and stalked after her. “What the hell is wrong with you?” He shouted, grabbing her arm and spinning her around to face him. “Get off me ” She said staring at him, fury in her eyes. “No, you were in trouble there, I helped you and you know it. But you still treat me like shit, I’m so sick of it” yelled in her face, “Just once you could’ve thanked me but once again you act like the spoilt little bitch you are” “Mr superstar to the rescue is it?” She shouted back, her face inches away from his, “I didn’t need your help, so don’t act like you care. You only came over so wouldn’t be pissed at you”“Screw you” shouted, he was going to add more when something stopped him.
They were inches away from each other both staring into depths, seeing something other than hate mirrored in the other pair of eyes. Before they knew what was happening their lips met hard, both fighting for control as they kissed each other firmly. Her hands were in his hair, his hands were on her face as they both held each other in place, hungrily kissing each other as they felt the anger turn into passion. suddenly pulled away and took her hand, roughly pulling her into a waiting taxi.
That had been two years ago, it had taken them both a while to come to terms with the new feelings they had for each other and six months after their night together they were a couple. Both had agreed to keep it between themselves, was in the spot light and she was his best friends baby sister. They needed to know that what they felt was more than a fling, that it was deeper than that but as the months passed they enjoyed the secrecy. So they kept up the pretence that they hated each other, while in actual fact they were deeply in love with one another.
“Happy anniversary” She smiled up at him, pulling him from his thoughts, her eyes sparkling with desire matching his own. “Is there even an eighteen month anniversary?” He said with a laugh, as he brushed her damp hair out of her face. “Who cares” She laughed, pressing her lips firmly to his as she slowly sank back onto the bed, pulling him down on top of her.
Clothes were soon shed as they fumbled around on the bed kissing, still feeling the anger from their earlier argument, the anger only adding to the intensity of each others touch. After they’d made love they lay in each others arms, coming down from their high as placed light kisses over her bare shoulder and she traced patterns on his arm as it held her close to him.
“I love you, ” She said smiling as he held her tightly in his arms. smiled as he rested his head on her shoulder, his arms wrapped round her waist, “I love you too, ” He replied, closing his heavy eye lids as he felt himself drifting off to sleep.
