Beth sat looking out the window wondering just how it was possible that her friends even got her to go on this trip to begin with. It had been her turn to pick a destination and she wanted to head to Jamaica. Nothing like 2 weeks in the sand for Rest and relaxation. And R & R is just what Beth need. Work was so hectic she didn’t even have time to think any more. Her life was nothing but deadlines. But where they headed to Jamaica.......No! Beth and her three best girlfriends where headed to Ireland. When the girls had gone the travel agent, Sara had fallen in love with the idea of going to Ireland. And with that she had convinced the other girls that they best vacation ever would be to drive around Ireland and visit all the little towns along the way. As Beth was thinking back on the events that had her sitting on a plane right now over the Atlantic, the pilot came over the loud speaker. “Ladies and gentlemen we will be arriving in Dublin, in approximately 15 minutes; we hope you enjoyed your fight and have a great stay in Ireland. “Come on Beth get that frown off your face. You wouldn’t know if you where being toured. This place is beautiful” Sara exclaimed as they where unpacking their bags at the hotel. “Yah really, I bet you are going to enjoy yourself. I just know you are. Maybe you will even met some hot Irish man and run off with him” Taylor said, as she came out of the bathroom. And with that the other girls burst out into laughter. “Oh that you bunch, “Beth said as she tossed a pair of socks at Taylor, “it is lovely to have you bunch as friends you know that.” “Beth it’s not that we don’t think you could get a guy, we just think that you’re too uptight to ever let a guy get to close. That all.”Taylor explained as she walked over to Beth’s bed and sat down. “Again, great to have you bunch as friends. And on that note I’m going to get changed and go for a jog.” Beth said as she escaped to the safely of the bathroom. “We just got her and you going for a run, come on Beth really? I thought this trip was to relax.” Monica asked Beth as she slipped into the bathroom. I wish they would all just leave me alone, Beth thought as she got changed. I didn’t want to go on this stupid trip to begin with. And without another word to any of her friends, Beth stuck her headphones in and started off for her jog. Beth was jogging along and thinking of ways in which she could make the best of the trip, when all of a sudden BANG. Beth found herself lying flat on her back, looking up at the man who had knocked her down. “Sorry about that Lass” The man said as he reached his hand out to help Beth up. “Yah you should be” Beth replied as she quickly got up. “Didn’t you ever hear of watching where you are going? Like really” Beth continued as she brushed the dirt off herself. “I said I was sorry, there’s not need to be rude. You weren’t watching where you were going either, or you would have seen me, “it was at that, that Beth finally got a good look at the man who had knocked her down. He was tall with amazing blonde hair, but she thought he was in defiantly Need of a cut. “Whatever” Beth replied, and with that she turned around and jogged back to her hotel.
“Only you would bang into a handsome Irish guy and just walk away” Sara said as the girls found their way to an empty table of a pub that had been recommended to them from some of the locals. “Yah really Beth, if you didn’t want him maybe one of us might have. Did you ever think of that? “Ok what does everyone want?” Beth asked as she jumped up from the table, she was not in the mood to hear this all again; the girls had been on her case since she had told them about what happened on her jog. Yah he was good looking she thought to herself, as she walked to the bar, but so not my type. “Bang into anyone later?” Beth heard in her ear. She turned quickly only too come face toface with the stranger she had banged into earlier that day. “I think I should be the one asking you that, “Beth replied. “I never got to introduce myself earlier, imp Keith” the stranger said as he extended his had to Beth. “That great for you” Beth replied as she turned back to bar. “Again there’s no need to be rude. I was just tiring to be nice. Its women like you that give women a bad name.” Before Beth could turn and respond he was gone. When Beth returned to her friends, she could see they where no longer alone. There was a group of guys now seated with them. Great Beth thought to herself, can they go one whole evening without flirting. “Hey girls “Beth said as she reached the table and laid the drinks on the table. She looked at the back of the head of the guy that was now seated in her place. “Excuse me, I was sitting here.” And with that the guy in her set turned around” Sorry about .......” But before he could say another word, Beth Blurted out "Oh great not you again".

“Well Beth we see that you two have met before,” Monica said as she picked her drink up , “ So do you want to explain to the rest of us how it is that you two have met?” “’I have had the pleasure to met this lovely lassy twice now today, and as you can see I have made a great impression on her.” Keith replied laughing as he got up from the table. Beth quickly sat down with a rather sour expression on her face. This was not her idea of a fun vacation, spending time with people who obviously thought way too much about themselves. “Anyway , who are the rest of these guys? Beth asked as she motioned around the table to the other new faces that where there. “These are my mates,” Keith explained. “ this is Mark, Cole, and Brain. And I do believe the rest of us where have a conversation about surfing before you interrupted us.” Keith turned to the rest of the girls blocking Beth completely out of the conversation. “As I was saying, we’re heading to the beach tomorrow and you girls should join us.” Keith then turned back to Beth “you should come to you know, I think you need to lighten up a bit” “Beth lighten up.......ha-ha” Sara laughed as she took a big slip for her drink, “she doesn’t know the meaning of the word. She has been uptight since the first grade.” Beth shot Sara a drity look. “ If everyone eles is going the I guess Ill be up for it. And im not up tight, im just a professional. If any of you had any idea of what it is work in a law firm everyday you would have a clue what it.....” and with that Beth was cut off by more laughing...... “Beth really, you wouldn’t know if you where the only person in the world that had a job. We told you before this trip you have to lighten up and try to have some fun for once.”Taylor said learning in to Beth. Then continued....” So where are we meeting up wit you boys in the morning?
The next morning Beth and her friends where waiting for the guys outside of their hotel. “ i sitll don’t think this is a very good idea , we don’t even know these people and we are getting ready to get in a van with them and we don’t even know where we are going.” Beth exclaimed as she coated herself in sunscreen. “ Oh Beth ........COME ON!!!!! Have fun for once in your life! Today you are not allow to talk about work or anything that has to do with work, actually had over your cell phone!” Sara said walking over to Beth. “ I will not , you know that I have to be reachable at all times, you don’t know when they are going to need me at the firm.’ Beth explained as she quickly hid her phone. Before Sara could make a grab for the phone, the boys pulled up.” You’re lucky Beth. But I’m serious if i see you working that phone is GONE!” Sara said before turning her attending to the boys. “hey guys, lets hit the beach!”
Beth found a nice place on the beach where she could tan and read. There was no way anyone was getting her out in that water. She was happy to just sit back and watch her friends make fools of them. Beth settled in with her headphones and begain to read. After what seemed like not that long, Beth could see a shadow appear on her book. “Excuse me, but your blocking my sun!” Beth said as she rolled over. The sun blocked her view of the person now standing over her, all she could make out was he was tall and the shaggy hair.

Beth turned back way and continued to read. “ Hi,” Keith said as he took a sat down next to Beth. “What do you want.” Beth replied , not even looking up from her book.” “You know you should really lighten up. You here on vacation, come on have a bit of fun. “Keith said as he quickly took Beth’s book away from her. Beth made a grab for her book but to no avail. “Can you please give that back to me? I was right in the middle of that.” Again she grabbed for her book. With that Keith jumped up and moved quickly away from Beth, “Nope, I don’t think that I will. You friends sent me over here for me to try and get you to have some fun. I really don’t understand why anyone would come to a great place like this and just sit there and read.” As he was saying this Beth quickly jumped up and made her way towards Keith. “I asked you nicely, now GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK!” Beth jumped towards Keith grabbing again for her book. “Nope.......I don’t think so” Keith turned and ran down the beach, “If you want this then you are going to have to catch me first.” Beth started to run after Keith “Oh great,” she thought to herself, ‘what are we five.” Keith ran towards others tossed the book to one of the other guys, “Keep it away from her” Keith yelled as Beth caught up with him. “ O....k......this is getting old really fast , just give me back my book and I can go back to reading.” Beth said as she walked towards Sara who now had her book. Just as she got close Sara toss the book on to someone eles. “We’re doing this for your own good Beth. You really do need to lighten up? COME ON!!!” Sara repied as she walked towards Beth. “Fine you want to keep the stupid book then keep it!” Beth threw her hands up in the air and turn and walked back to her spot on the beach. “Hey Beth!!! Wait up!” Keith yelled as he ran to catch up with her. “heres your book back, We where only tring to get you to have a bit of fun.” He handed her back her book. “Well did it occur to any of you that I didn’t want to have fun. I don’t even want to be her.” Beth said as she turned to face Keith. “Fine then we won’t bother you again,” Keith turned and stated back down the beach, over his shoulder he called back to Beth “I bet you don’t even know how to have a good time. Its sad you know that a pretty girl like yourself is so uptight”And he continued to walk back down the beach. “Excuse me, you do not know anything about me at all.” Beth Yelled back as she quickly turned around to where keith was no walking away.” I am not uptight, I do have fun. I know how to have fun. Really what do you know?” She started to walk to where he was walking away. “No, i don’t think that you do,” he said again over his shoulder “ “Wait,” Beth was now running to keep up with Keith as he was walking away. “I can have fun.” Keith suddenly stopped and waited for Beth.”Well then, if you know how to have fun then come on,” Keith grabbed Beth’s hand and started to run towards the water. “ I don’t know about this, I really don’t like the water that much.” Beth told him. “oh come on I thought you know how to have fun. Well then lighten up and just have fun.” ~Later that evening~ “Ok I have to admit, this has been a great day.”Beth confessed to the girls as they were sitting around waiting for Keith and his friends to start a fire. “See you knew that if you tried to have fun you would. Plus I think Keith might have a thing for you, always gets the cute guy don’t you.” Monica whispered to the girls.”ummm, guys are you going to get that fire going anytime soon, its starting to get kinda cold over her.”Monica called out. “Yah we almost got it” Cole called back out to the girls, “Ah Mark, you sure you know what you doing ? I don’t think this is going to work.” Beth and Taylor got up and walked over to the boys, “Hey do you think we could give that a try, “ Taylor asked as she leaned down towards the pile of wood. The four guys looked at each other, and got up laughing “ Sure , if you girls think you can do it then go right ahead. Call out when it doesn’t work.” Shane replied as the boys went back and sat down. “I think they are under estimating us Taylor.” Beth said as she started working on getting the fire going. Within minutes the girls had a nice fire going, they got up from the fire pit and walked over to where the boys where sitting “Never send a boy to do a woman’s job” Beth said as she sat back down.

Beth said as she sat back down. “How did the two of you do that so fast?” Shane said looking from the girls to the fire, with a frown on his face. “ we were at that for a half an hour.” “its a secret!” Beth replied with a wink to Sara. “Well arnt you two handy to have around.” Keith said laughing. “Ok .....so what shall we do now?” Keith asked looking around. Monica looked around the group and then replied “Well I happened to notice before that you had your guitar and since you are a singer and all, how about a fireside sing-a-long?” “Nah, I don’t think so, I’m not really in the mood to sign tonight.” Keith told Monica. “Well don’t sign you play and Beth can sign, that is if you both know the same songs.” Sara said as she moved away from Beth’s side, knowing that there would be a hit coming her way. “WAIT....what.....yah how did I get brought into this??” Beth replied as she made a swing at Sara. “ sorry but i think this girl has had too much sun today and we should probably be getting her back to the hotel . “ Beth jumped up. Keith grabbed for Beth’s arm “what’s this, little miss uptight can sing. Well now this is something that i want to hear. If Beth will sign then Ill go and get my guitar” “Come on Beth , you used to love to sing , it was a passion of yours. You know yuo love to show off. “ Taylor said throwing some sand over at Beth. “ i do not love to show off, and yah that was back in high school, In choir. Not here in front of people I don’t even know, one of whom sings professionally. Yah hold on now let me make a fool of myself.” Beth threw sand back at Taylor. “ I thought Monica said sign along doesn’t that mean everyone?” “I think that you should just get it over with cause we arnt going to let up till you do, “Cole informed Beth. Beth sat there looking around the group, all eyes were on her and waiting to see what she was going to say next. She really didn’t want to do this, she couldn’t sing. She had messed around with it a bit in high school but that was as far as it went. And singing in front of people by herself scared her to death. She noticed that Keith had gotten up and got his guitar. “Fine....Ill do it....but what are you going to play?” She now looked over to Keith. “ I don’t know what are you going to sing, should be the question.” Keith replied back. “Well i don’t know what you can play, that would make what i can sing a little less important now wouldn’t it. If you cant play it then what does it matter if i can sing it.” Beth said back. “Ok, Ok, you two, enough....lord your like an old married couple the way you bicker back and forth.” Sara said jokingly. “What about one of your songs from CT Keith? Beth do you know any of them?” Cole Asked. “Ah, yah i might know a few....” but before Beth could say anymore Keith butted in “ So you know Celtic Thunder....hmmm....just what I thought , you are a fan and completely in love with my but don’t want to tell me that.” “whatever” Beth replied, giving Keith a playful push, Keith pretend to fall backwards. “ Its not nice to push people missy. Ok really thought, do you know The Island?” Keith asked Beth “ i do, actually I love that song, lets do that one.” ~After the song was over~ “wow Beth that was lovely.”Keith told her once they had finish. “ I think you did a better job then I do.” “Sure I did, your just being nice.” Beth replied, but as she did Keith leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “No Really you where great. Ok any requests?” Keith asked the group. Ok Beth thought to herself, maybe this wont be as bad as I thought it was going to be.

The next morning Beth decided to take an extra long run. She just had to clear her head. Last night had been so much fun that is until she spent the whole night tossing and turning and thinking about him. “Oh no” Beth thought to herself “I can’t let this happen, I can’t fall for this guy. I will not let myself get hurt like that again. I promised myself I wouldn’t let .......” Beth let her thoughts trail off., she could feel her eyes start to fill up with tears. There was no way she would cry over that again, there had already been too many tears shed over that jerk and she wouldn’t let one more fall. Even though it had happened over a year ago, it hurt just like it was yesterday. Beth had been seen Jason for over a year when she had caught him cheating on her. It was then that she swore she would never let herself get hurt like this again. The more Beth thought about all of this the harder she ran. “Maybe, just maybe” Beth thought “this one could be different. I really could give him and chance. And what would be the big deal, it’s not like we are going to be here that long, so why not have a little fun. But then again i could be just asking to get hurt all over again.....” Before Beth could finish that though she realized that she was back at the hotel. When Beth arrived back in the room, she noticed that the girls had disappeared. Before Beth could get her phone out to text to see where they had gone, she found a note on her pillow. “Hey girl, Hope you had a great run, hurry up and get ready. We want you to meet us in the lobby in 45 minutes. P.S could you please where the dress that we set out for you. Remember your friends know BEST!!!! “Hmmhhmmmm..” Beth thought, “This just doesn’t sound good. Oh, well ill give into them.” Beth tossed aside the letter and went to get ready. Beth made it to the lobby with 5 minutes to spear. “Now where have they got to” Beth said out aloud. She searched around for a bit but did not see her friends anywhere. Just as she was getting a little annoyed with waiting for her friends she felt a tap on her shoulder. Beth turned around and came face to face with Keith. “Ok, don’t be mad, I made them do it.” He said before Beth could ask him what he was doing there. “I thought this would be the best way to get you to spend the day with me.” “Ok” Beth replied. So, her friends had set her up, she would have to decided if she would thank them or get them back for this later. “Well then I guess I have no choice but to spend the day with you seeing as how you went through all of this. What did you have in mind?” “Come on “Keith said taking her hand “ You going to have to wait and see where we are going. And with that he leaded her out of the lobby and to his car.
