Shane and Mark walked out of the building and went into Rafferty's bar across the street to wait for Kian.
The 2 lads went and stood by the bar,while Shane was getting their drinks Mark looked up and said "hey Shay i wonder what Louis wants Kian for?."
Shane then handed Mark a pint of Coke,and said "Mark have you not seen the rumours in the papers,over the last couple of years about Kian being gay?."
Mark then said "yeah i've seen them stupid rumours Shay,and i've never taken any notice of them cos we all know they aren't true."
Just then Kian came into the bar,and didn't look very happy.
Kian then said "guys i wish Walsh would bloody get off my case,he's only got me to issue a press statement denying i'm gay and telling everyone about Claire."
Shane and Mark then in unison said "oh god Claire's not gonna like that one little bit,she's gonna go mad with Louis over this."
Kian then said "guys i've not named Claire,all i've told the press is that no i'm not gay and that i have a girlfriend of 15 years."
Shane then said "well Ki i suppose that's one good thing that you haven't named Claire,cos it means she won't be constantly hassled by the press or the fans."
Meanwhile in the record company's office Nicky looked at Grace,and said "Grace would you like to come for a drink with me?,i really like you and i'd like to get to know you better."
Grace then said "yeah sure Nicky i'd like that,but only on the condition i pay for my own drinks."
Nicky then gave Grace that famous Byrne smile and said "ok deal now let's go,and no we're not going over the road."
Nicky then said "i'm going to take you to my favourite bar/restaurant,it's called O'Malley's and it's a nice quiet place."
Grace then picked up her jacket and bag,and followed Nicky out to his car and soon they were heading to the restaurant.
Erin had just left the building and was about to head home,when Kian came out of the bar over the road.
Kian then shouted "hey Erin if you're not in any rush to get home,why don't you come over here and have a couple of drinks with me,Shane and Mark?."
Erin then said "erm yeah ok Kian but it'll only have to be 2,as we all have a very early start in the morning."
Bryan was in the kitchen warming his dinner up,Sammy and Hannah were in the sitting room watching dirty dancing.
Sammy then said "Hannah hun i've got to get going soon,i've got to be up for 5 in the morning as i'm flying to Edinburgh."
Hannah then said "ok hun i guess i'll see you in a couple of days,and we need to have a girls night out soon."
Sammy then gave Hannah a hug and said "yeah you will hun,and yeah you're right we do need a night out soon it's been ages since we had one."
Adam,Sarah and Ronan were sat down to dinner,Sarah suddenly looked at Ronan and said "hey bro when are we gonna see you with a girl on your arm?."
Adam then said "yeah Ro it's been far to long,since we've seen you with a girlfriend it's about time you found some one."
Ronan laughed and said "i know it's been to long since i had a girlfriend,there is someone that i fancy but it's very complicated."
Sarah then said "oh this sounds interesting bro,we want the lady's name and when and where you met her."
Ronan then said "i'm not gonna name her,all i'm gonna say is that i first met her 5 and a half years ago at a rugby match."
Meanwhile in Sligo Bronwyn had just arrived home,and went into the sitting room with a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa.
A few minutes later Bronwyn heard a knock on the door,so she got up off the sofa and went to answer it.
Bronwyn opened the door and was surprised to see Liam stood on the doorstep with Andrea.
Liam then said "hey Bron hunnie the little lady was asking for you and Shane,so i thought i'd bring her home to her daddy."
Bronwyn then picked up her daughter and kissed her dark hair,and then set on the round and said "Liam i've just got home from work,Shane's not home yet i guess his meeting has over ran again."
Claire had Lydia bathed and in bed by 8pm,she was now sat on the sofa reading a book and waiting for Kian to come home.
A few minutes later Claire got up off the sofa,and picked her phone up from the wall unit where it was charging.
Claire then sent Kian a text,the text read:Hey babe i guess.
Tht u guys r still in the meeting?.
Do u knw how much longer u'll be?.
I'm going up2 bed nw c u when u get home.
Love ya.
Claire then went upstairs into her's and Kian's room,and got her pj's on and then sat reading for a while.
Soon Claire was nodding off with the book still open on her lap,so she put her book on the bedside table and turned the light out.
Creena was still at their parents home,she was now in the kitchen helping her mother to wash and dry the dishes.
Mae then looked at her youngest child and said "Creena i'm worried about Claire,she seems to be constantly working all the time."
Creena then said "yeah i know what you mean mum,when i saw Claire earlier she looked very tired and she said she hadn't had much sleep."
Mae then said "Creena one of these days Claire is going to wear herself out,working the hours she does."
Peter looked at his wife and daughter and said "Creena maybe you could have a word with Kian,and get him to get Claire to reduce her work hours."
Creena then said "i doubt if that'll do any good da,both Kian and Claire love their jobs and anyway Claire's short staffed."
Meanwhile back in Dublin Kian heard his phone beep,so he pulled it from his pocket and read the text from Claire.
Kian didn't bother to reply to the text,as he was to busy eyeing Erin up much to the annoyance of Shane.
