"Come on, who's up for a game of good ol' school yard dares?" Henry said, falling onto the seats. We had only been on tour a week and this was our first free weekend. The beer was on the table, Ben had his bottles of red wine, and I had a bottle of white. Ben gave up on using a glass quickly, and was drunk beyond believe. Zelda sat next to him, hiccuping trying to supress laughter.

"Count me in!" Ben slurred, whilst Zelda nodded unable to not laugh at Ben's drunken state any longer.

Steve suprised us then, as he said we may as well play to amuse ourselves, but he was going to sleep. Something about not wanting to ruin his voice, and he disappeared up the steps.

Ian and John had also gone up to sleep so it was nearly evenly matched for boys and girls.

"Tax starting!" Arthur suddenly declared, making us all jump. He grabbed his can, finished it before pointing at Nick. "Kiss my brother. Dare ya."

"Do I have to?" Nick pouted like a liitle kid. "I'd rather kiss Ben."

"You can kiss me later!" Ben said hicupping mid sentence. Bex laughed quietly - it was the first time she had been alone with us, as Ian was normally around to make sure she was ok. He acted more like her dad than her uncle.

Nicky wobbled as he stood up and leaned over Bex towards Henry, before delicatly pressing his lips to Henry's.

"Ugh!" Henry looked revolted. He then shot his brother a deathly glare. "Chloe, your go." He growled, looking like he was about to kill Arthur.

"Hmmm..." I looked around the table, before stopping at Jordan. "Jordan, bottom shelf of the freezer, there's a box with my name on it. Grab us it and a spoon please." Jordan frowned, but collected the box of ice cream I had made with a spoon.

I pushed the box towards Arthur. "I dare you, Arthur Bird, to eat a whole five spoon fulls of this." I smiled at him, pulling my hands under the table and resting one above Jordan's knee.

Arthur smiled. "This easy? Phaa!" His laughter stopped when he opened the box. "Please...no..."

"Forfeit would be to go and kiss Steve. And you know that would be the end of the game. Eat." I said, leaning back in my seat.

"I get it, revenge for making Nick kiss Henry." He shuddered as he swallowed the first spoonful of the ice cream. "But seriously, how can you enjoy ice cream this sour?" He took another mouthful and the look on his face was quickly captured by Zelda's phone.

"That one's for facebook!" Her voice went really high amd I laughed, knowing that the picture would be forgotten in the next few minutes.

"Third evil flavoured ice cream..." Arthur was talking to himself.

"Chloe..." Jordan said quietly, and everybody turned to face him.

"Yeah Jord?" I realised that my hand had crept up far too high on his thigh. Quickly, I moved it back down to his knee.

"What flavour is that?" Jordan nodded towards Arthur, who was holding his nose now.

"Its lemon, lime and sherbert. Really really sour, but I love it!" I grinned, before turning to Arthur. "One more!"

As soon as he was done, I yanked the box off him, picked up the spoon and piled it high with the sour ice cream. I was use to the sourness. Jordan curiously dipped his finger in the corner and licked it. His face screwed up instantly.

"Chloe that is nasty!" Jordan shook his head repeatedly, as if trying to get rid of the taste.

"Your go Jord. I'll get us all some drinks." I said, and I messed up his hair as I hopped onto his lap and off the other side and disappeared into the kitchen with the box of ice cream.

I grabbed a couple more cans from the fridge, and put them on the table as Jordan spoke.

"Zelda Saint-Wilde. I dare you to kiss Ben Grimsley until all of us agree you can stop. Go." Jordan said, with a straight face. He stood up to let me back in, and put his arm on the top of the sofa. His little dare had a huge loophole - 'all of us' included Ben and Zelda.

"Benny, did you just hear what Jordan said?" she said softly. He nodded quickly, then blinked a few times as if he had gone dizzy. "God how drunk are you?" Without giving him a chance to answer (which was most likely for the best) she leaned in against him, and pressed her lips to his. At first it seemed more like she was testing him, seeing how he would cope with being drunk and having the pressure of not keeping the secret for a few minutes.

"Gods sake!" he said as he pulled back to see her. "Tell me when at least one person has said stop." he said, before returning to Zelda's lips, taking full control. His hands remained planted on Zelda's hips, but her's roamed his lower back.

"Ugh." Nick suddenly said stepping over the back of the sofa. "Night." He grumply stormed off to his bunk.

"Chuck us a can please Clo." Henry said, wriggling round to fill Nicks spot and pulling Bex round a bit so she wasn't as close to Ben. "Ta love." he said opening and swiftly drinking from it.

Bex spoke up then, making us laugh. "Does beer touch your tongue Henry, or does it just go straight down your throat?"

"Who votes we move to the other table and continue the game leaving them two over here?" Jordan asked, raising his own hand. Bex put her hand up, shuffling towards Henry, and the Birds both raised their hands. "Come on then." He stood up and pulled me out of my seat smoothly.

Emily sighed, said she was too tired to try stay awake any longer, and trundled off the the stairs.

"Arthur you still got them cards?" Henry asked his little brother, looking over at the two we'd abandoned.

"What we playing then?" Arthur seemed to pull a pack of cards out of nowhere. When none of us answered he picked a game. "Rummy it is then." Ben groaned loudly at that point. "Oi we're trying to play cards over here!" Ben must have gained some soberity, as above the table appeared his middle finger. We watched as his hand returned to Zelda's hair.

"Bloody hell... Would there be any point in saying that they can stop?" Henry asked.

"We all agreed they can stop should they choose to?" Jordan asked, and everybody nodded. He turned and spoke a bit louder "Ben, Zelda, you can stop now." This time it was Zelda's middle finger that was raised, making us all laugh.

"Bex, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a moment please?" Nickky had reappeared silently, making us all jump.

"Erm yeah, sure..." She stepped carefully between Henry and Arthur, then over Arthur to the floor. She followed him and shut the door behind them.

"What the hell is that all about?" Arthur asked, dealing the cards out.

"Not a clue." Me and Jordan said together. We looked at each other and laughed.

"Awwh cute. Now pick up your cards..." Henry said in a very demoralising tone. I leaned to quickly swat his head and missed, and ended up on the table with one arm out streched towards Henry. Jordan pulled me upright and I leaned against him.

"Throw out that one Jord. Then I win." I said, prodding one of his cards.

"Have it your way." He shrugged, throwing out the card. Sure enough, I won. About 30 hands later, and me winning the majority, Arthur slinked off to get something from upstairs. Zelda and Ben were still happy as could be on their sofa, but Nickky and Bex were silent in the kitchen.

"What do you thinks going on in there?" Henry nodded towards the kitchen. "Has she killed him and waiting 'til we've all gone to bed to escape?" I laughed and shook my head.

"I'll go ask!" Jordan stumbled as he stood up.

"Bex broke up with her boyfriend this morning." I whispered to Henry. "She's got a thing for drummers apparently."

"You think they're...?" Henry said quietly, wide eyed. I shrugged then nodded.

"Her boyfriend was jealous she spent so much time with other guys, and finished her over the phone." I said, checking behind me again.

"Jesus..." We sat quietly for a minute, ignoring the sounds of pleasure coming from the kissing couple. "Well if it wasn't for-" He cut himself off. "Jordan's coming back."

I looked over my shoulder to see Jordan shutting the door again, holding four bottles of water.

"Kitchen is now off limits." Jordan said putting a water bottle in front of each of us and a spare for Arthur. "Now Henry. Tell us about your girlfriend." He said, and he put his arm around me. I suddenly yawned, far too tired to point out Henry didn't know about us.

"Henry's girlfriend?" Arthur asked. "Since when did you have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah..." he scratched his head, seeming unwilling to answer.

"Give us a name. Do we know her?" Jordan said rather too entusiastically. Henry half nodded and then shook his head.

"You and Zelda know her." Henry said looking over at her. "Oh Nickky does as well." He said nodding towards the kitchen.

"A name." Jordan nearly snarled, his hand balling up on the table. I put my hand on top of his and it instantly relaxed.

"Kate." Henry said looking away, as if he was embarassed.

Jordan shook his head, Ben grunted something and we glanced over to see Zelda stradled on top of him.

"Blonde Kate?" She asked Henry. After he nodded to her, she continued. "The kitten that quit after you refused to kiss her." She motioned to Jordan with her head.

"Can I have you back now?" Ben muttered darkly, and Zelda went back to resume the kiss.

"She broke us up before the tour restarted. Said a relationship on the road wouldn't work for her." Henry said, looking back at us. Henry suddenly smiled and shook his head. "Should'a know..." he muttered, eying Jordan's arm across my shoulders.

Henry's phone buzzed then from within his pocket, and he put it on the table. Jordan reached over and took the phone, and Henry didn't attempt to stop him.

"Can I answer and put it on speaker?" Jordan asked, and he nodded, looking as confused as me. "Just say hi as if it wasn't on speaker." Jordan answered the phone and pressed the speaker button. "Tell her to stay quiet thought." He mouthed.

"Hey K-" Henry said, sounding really tired, before she spoke over him.

"Hey sweetie, did I wake you up?" Her voice came loud and clear out of his phone. A look of recognition waved across Jordan's face.

"Not really, but just stay quiet please. Don't wanna wake up the boss." He said, and he looked up at Jordan.

"Oh ok sweetie. Not worried about waking up your precious band mates?" She spoke spitefully.

"I don't need to worry about them waking up. Most of them are sat with me now."

"What about those pathetic dancers?"

Jordan nudged me slightly and I spoke angrily. "We are not pathetic Kate. You are the pathetic one."

There was silence on Kate's end of the phone, before she literally growled down the phone. "You must be Chloe. Stupid blonde."

"She is not stupid, she is my friend." Henry said, and the feeling in his voice backed up his words. "As for the band, well you remember Jordan don't you?" She didn't answer so he continued. "Well he's heard every word that you have said."

"You put me on speaker?" She was fuming. "You...you... son of !#^*$i" With that she hung up.

Jordan started to laugh. "And that is how you get an ex to leave you alone! Put her on speaker!"

"Hoping she won't ring back..." Henry said, then turned his attention to the way we were sat.  "Would you like me and Arthur to go to bed so you two can turn into them two?" He asked, tipping his head in the direction of Ben and Zelda. They looked like they weren't going to move apart for a lot longer.

"Oh we'll survive for  until you actually want to." Jordan said, before kissing my forehead.

"If your letting them in on the secret, at least kiss me properly." I said, sounding like a teenager. Jordan laughed, and looked to Arthur and Henry.

"No telling Steve or Ian about tonights events." He said, starting to move in to my lips. He paused and looked back at them. "Or John."  As the agreed not to tell, Jordan pulled my legs over his own and I shifted myself to sit on his lap, quickly wrapping my arms around his neck as the kiss began.

"Night..." Henry said, standing up. "Coming Art?" I heard Arthur mumble but they both left. "Oh one sec." Henry said, and came back into the room. "Lights out!" he said, flicking the switch making the room pitch black.

"Always the clown..." Jordan said - the darkness meant we couldn't even see each other. I suddenly found myself being pulled backwards onto the sofa, laying onto of Jordan. Our lips met once more, the passion nearly hitting the level of Ben and Zelda instantly.

"No Jord... don't do that..." I whispered breaking away for a moment as his hands ventured under the waistband of my jeans. His lips continued down my neck. I jumped as his hands hit my bare skin."Jordan, play fair!" I squeaked.

"And what if I don't want to play fair?" He said, pulling his hands back out of my jeans, and planting them on my back. I sat up, and folded my arms.

"Then no more kisses for you." I pushed my hands under his top, pulling it upwards with my thumbs. Jordan leaned forwards and pulled it off. I moved quickly, sitting sideways on him as if he was a booster cushion. "Shh." I whispered, leaning down against his flawless chest. The kitchen door opened, and the light flooded out. We were hidden but Ben and Zelda's feet stuck out from their sofa.

"Everyone else has gone to sleep." Bex whispered. "Come on, we both need our energy for tomo-" she got cut off, and I guessed Nick kissed her. She giggled and the light flicked off. Two dark outlines walked past us, the shorter haired frame reaching back for the others hand.

"Night Bex." he said, before giving her a long kiss and quietly going up the stairs.

"Cover your eyes..." I whispered, flicking the little table lamp on.

Bex gasped. "Oh God!" her hand flew up to her mouth.

"How was the table?" Jordan asked her.

She seemed to regain herself. "It was brilliant actually. Its actually your fault I kissed him..." She look kind of  embarassed.

"Eh? My fault?" I slid off Jordan's stomach and rested myself a bit lower down. He sat up and ruffled my hair before looking toward Bex.

"He wanted me in the kitchen to ask if I was ok, cos he caught me crying earlier. I told him what had happened about my boyfriend finishing me over the phone this morning, and he told me about Scarlett. He didn't make you sound like a bad guy Jord. Not once did he blame you."

"He didn't blame me?" Jordan sounded suprised.

Bex shook her head. "He was blaming himself constantly, and I honestly thought he was going to break down on me. I told him that he was an amazing guy and when he looked up at me, I just didn't think... I just kissed him..." She sounded like she was about to break down.

Quickly, I stood up and hugged her. "Hey, we saw how happy he was a moment ago. You've done Nickky some good, and I'm sure you'll be happy with him."

"We all need somebody to connect with on tour. Hell, who knows what would happen to Ben if Zelda wasn't here!" Jordan said making Ben grunt, Zelda giggle and Bex smile.

"I've got Jordan, Henry and Arthur have each other. But Nick didn't really have anybody. Ian, Steve, John and Emily all stick together like a family." I  said looking back at Jordan; his chest was higlighted perfectly in the light.

"But when Ian brought you along, we didn't know you as well. We didn't mean to push you out." Zelda had stood up and appeared at Bex's other side. She hugged her, before stepping back in the shadows and going back to Ben.

"Why don't you go to bed Bex." I said stepping directly in front of her.  "You can come shopping with me and Z tomorrow."

Bex nodded, said thanks and quietly went upstairs.

Jordan had sat himself properly at the table now and I sat next to him and rested my head on his lap. I felt something shift under my head and I  giggled, and Jordan groaned. "Girl, I'm not gonna be able to walk once you're through with me!"

I smiled up at him and started kissing up his beautiful stomach. "Your six pack looks nicer now you've been working out again." I said as I kissed his pecs and pulled myself so I was again sat on his lap.

"You, are, such, a, tease." He said, separating each word with a kiss. "Miss Bass." He kissed my nose and pressed our foreheads together. We sat looking into each others eyes blissfully. I pulled my hands  from Jordan's waist and wrapped them around his neck, pulling my body closer to his. We just sat and looked deep into each others souls.His eyes sparkled with feeling.

"You have beautiful eyes, have I ever told you that?" I asked him, smiling.

"No...but have I ever told you how cute your butt is?" Jordan asked, closing the distance momentarily to kiss me as my cheeks burned.

"Thanks, I try my best to have the cutest butt on the bus." I said with a cheeky smile to him.

"Oh its not the cutest on the bus." He said, earning an scowl. "That title goes to Ben." I laughed under my breath as I realised he was joking. He was looking over my shoulder at Ben and Zelda.

"Is that the alcohol speaking?" I said, moving my hand onto his face in a mock slap. He turned and looked at me again, but seemed to be in some sort of internal debate. I stroked his cheek with my thumb, unsure if I had even seen a tear roll.

"Maybe... Do you think its time we went upstairs to sleep?" Jordan asked softly, as I brushed my hand down his side.

"Maybe..." I imitated his voice with a smile. I kissed him firmly before standing up. "Can you walk?" I asked, turning on the spot to look at him carefully.

I held my hands towards him and helped him up.  "Ow... Yeah give me a moment." He grumbled and I stepped backwards to give him some room. "Come 'ere!" He beckoned for me to come closer with two fingers. When I was within a few feet of him, he stooped down further and picked me up smoothly.

I squealed as my feet went from under me but I was silenced with a kiss. Carefully, I was returned to my feet. Jordan leaned down and kissed me before heading back down to retrieve his top. I heard him speak downstairs as I got changed quickly and hopped into bed.
