"Really?" "Yes Bri and Nate. Remember them?" "Yeah! Weren't they the ones who threatened me the day I asked you out?" "Yup." Brian and Nathan managed to become best friends during freshman year. They were so close that they rented an apartment in the same complex that I lived in. "So how long are you staying for?" "Well since it's the end of the school year, I'd figured I'd stay until you get all your grading done. Then we are going to Ireland, you and I." "Really? And just how am I supposed to afford this trip?" "I've already got your ticket. We leave on the 4th." "I'm assuming that's in June?" "Yup." "Let me check my calender." I went over to my office and looked at my calender. "Exactly how long am I staying?" I yelled back to the kitchen. "A month, maybe 2? That all depends on you!" I went back to Damian. "Well? Can you make it?" "Judging by my woefully empty calender, I'd say yes." The water was boiling now. Damian began putting some tamales into the water. "They'll be done in about 3 minuets." "Good, I'm hungry." "As always." "Hey! I'm a guy, are you so surprised?" "Hate to admit it, but I'm not. You've been around too long." "Want me to leave?" "Hardly! I enjoy your presence too much." "Good to know." I kissed him. "I spoil you." "And I'm glad you do. It makes me want to come over more and bless you with my presence." "Well aren't we full of ourself? Have the fans inflated your ego so much?" "Sarah, I was kidding." "So was I." The tamales were done so I grabbed some tongs and paper towls and placed the dripping tamales on them to dry. Once they were dry I put them on a platter and took them to the table. "They should be here any moment now." There was a knock at the door. "Hide! They don't know your here!" I whispered to Damian. He hid in the closet and shut the door. "It's unlocked!" I shouted. Nathan and Brian came in. "Hey guys, guess who's here?" "Who?" asked Nathan, ever the man of few words. "Guess!" "The president." guessed Brian. "Hardly." ''I give up." "Your no fun!" "I know." I put on a good pout. "Come sit down. Let's eat." I led them to the table. We sat down. "You can come out now." I yelled. The closet door opened and shut. Then there was Damian. "D! Hey man, good to see you!" "Good to see you too Bri." They did the grab hand-slap the back man hug. I just rolled my eyes. Once Damian had "hugged" his old mates, we sat down and ate dinner. "Oh those are good. Toby out did himself again." said Brian. "Toby?" asked Damian. "Oh Toby owns Eat the World and he makes these thing himself. Hey! Let's go get some ice cream! I'd like for him to meet you, babe." I said. "Oh good idea!" said Brian. So that's what we did. Damian, Brian, and Nathan caught up while I did dishes. Then we headed out to Eat the World. I entered first. "Toby! You here?" "Yup!" He came out of the kitchen, hands covered in flower. "You busy?" "Nope, just finished. How are you Sarah? Who's with you?" "Toby, you remember Brian and Nathan." "Oh yeah! Hey guys, what's up? Who's the tall silent one?" "This is my boyfriend, Damian. Damian, this is Toby, Chef Extraordinary!" "Ha! Flattery won't get you a free meal." "We've already eaten. We're here for ice cream." "You've come to the right place. What can I get for ya?" "I'll have my usual." I said. "Moose Tracks for me" said Brian. "A scoop of Tin Roof for me" said Nathan. "Damian?" "Uh...Choclate." "Not very original mate." "How about, uh. Whats that one?" "Southern Hospitality. It's a Southern thing." said Toby. "Then I'll have some of that, since I'm a Northerner." "No doubt. Where'dja get an accent like that?" "Northern Ireland." "No joke! So you down here visiting Sarah?" "Yup." "How do you like it?" "Well Dallas is no Derry, but part of my heart is here so..." "I get it man. How long have y'all been dating?" "4 years." I said. "Long time. Planning on tying the knot soon?" "We're both too busy at the moment. What with my teaching and all." "Speaking of your teaching, guess who was in here about an hour ago? The twins. They were talking about "Miss Sarah's boyfriend". I was hoping that you would come in soon so I could tell you this. Well you did and I now know that it's true." Toby handed us our cones and we payed. Toby grabbed a chair as we all sat around one of the tables. We caught up on happenings in our life while Toby told us story's that he had overheard while working. Once we were done catching up we all stood up to leave. We waved good bye to Toby and drove to the complex. Brian and Nathan had walked over so we dropped them off at their place.

When we got back to the apartment we put the new CT DVD in. If I thought that the stuff that they did before was good, I was definitely rethinking that. This was beyond amazing. After we finished the show we went on the the bonus footage. When we put in the second DVD. Confusion crossed Damian's face. "This isn't what we are releasing to the public." We began to watch the bonus footage. Damian was growing even more confused by the moment. "The footage is the same, but the backgrounds different and there's that new icon. Did Sharon add this later?" The bonus clips stopped and we found ourselves back at the main page. We clicked on the new icon, which had no text to tell us what it was. Once Damian saw the first shot he knew. "Every now and then she would have us record messages for our loved ones. She would send it to them after they were recorded. I guess this is what she did with the messages I would record for you." Every message was sweeter than the last. They were all different but each declared his love for me. He would end them with "All my love, forever, Damian." I hugged him tight. "Thank you. That is so sweet." I was tired. "I'm glad you like it." He murmured. His hand brushed a stray hair off my face. He slowly traced my jawbone and cupped my chin in his hand. Leaning in he kissed me tenderly. I kissed him back. It was so cozy here in Damian's arms. I yawned. "Tired?" "Yes." "I think we should go to bed." "Probably." I wanted to go get ready for bed, but I was just so warm and safe here in his arms. My eyelids were growing heavy. I snuggled in closer and laid my head on his shoulder. I knew he didn't want to let go of me. Just before I dropped off I felt his head droop slowly onto mine. My eyes closed slowly.
I woke up with a crick in my neck. What time was it? I glanced at the clock over the T.V. 11:00. I glanced down at Sarah. She was still sleeping. I had a brilliant idea. I picked her up and carried her gently to her room. After setting her down, I quietly made her breakfast and carried it to her room. I set the tray down on her desk and went over to wake her up. I kissed her lips. Unbelievable! She kissed me back. Was she awake? I waved my hand in front of her eyes. Nope. Still asleep. I sat on her bed. "Sarah. Wake up. Sarah." Her eyes fluttered open. "Good morning sleepy head. I made breakfast." "Is my kitchen still in one piece?" "Ha ha very funny. I didn't burn it down." "Good. What did you make?" I brought the tray over. "Pigs in a Blanket and Cinnamon Rolls." I went back to the kitchen to grab my tray. "You spoil me Damian." "I know. Your my princess, and I'd rather you never have to lift a finger." "Mabey in a perfect world, but not here." "Come on we're due on Skype soon."

Fortunately Sarah's Skype was already set up for a 5 way conference. Soon the lads started signing in. Once we were all on-line and the preliminary "Hi's" "How are you's" were done Sarah began asking for updates. "So Paul. Where's the Mrs.?" "I'm right here! I just got back." Dominique slid into view. "I'm so sorry I couldn't be at the wedding." "We understand, dear. Work is stressful. Oh guess what! I was just at the doctors. I'm pregnant!" "Does this mean that Paul's gonna have to sober up?"I put in. "Yes he will!" Dom giggled. We all congratulated them. "So Keith, where's the future Mrs.?" "Lauren? She's at work. You coming to the wedding?" "Yup, Mr. Moneybags over here got me a ticket." She pointed at me. "Hey! At least you get to go!" "I know, and that's why I love you. You're so thoughtful." She kissed my cheek. "So Neil, what's this I hear about your lovely young lass? What's her name and how long have y'all been dating?" "Her name is Sadie and we've been dating for about a month." "Sadie as in, Sadie Jones as pretty as a rose, Sadie?" "There's a reason for that song." "No way! You found a Sadie." "Yup, wrote that song for her a while back, and it took her a while to realize that she loved me back." "That is too funny! O.K. George, hows the wife and the wee one?" "Carrie's good and Sarah's growing up so fast." "She's 12 right?" "Aye, even got herself a wee boyfriend now." "Awww! Young Love!" She glanced at me "Hey Ryan! Don't think I'm neglecting you now. How in the world are you? Bit lonely?" "I'll only admit this to you Sarah, yeah a little, but I'll find her soon enough." "Want our help?" asked Paul. "Normally I'd say no considering..." "Yeah, yeah Mr. Mature, I know. You don't want love advice from us babies. "Too true, Paul, too true." "So Sarah, what's new with you?" asked George. Sarah told them of her class and their antics. She told them of what we had been up to since I came to visit her. Pretty soon the conversation turned into a full out tease fest. We were all roaring with laughter. I was reminded of the time that we all went to the Zoo with Sarah and the little prank we pulled on Keith that day. Soon the lads were logging off one by one. Neil was the last to go. "A virtual kiss on the cheek for you Sarah." "And a virtual hug for my favorite non-blood brother." Neil logged off. "Don't let Bri or Nate hear you say that." "Say what?" "That you like Neil better than them." "Don't worry. I won't." Since we had nothing better to do for the rest of the day we occupied the time until supper by watching movies from Sarah's extensive collection.

Sunday came and went. I introduced Damian to all my friends and we all went out to lunch. Monday came too quickly. I went to work again. Just as I was ending the class there was a knock on my door. "Lacy would you get that?" There stood Damian, leaning casually on the door frame, looking quite like Addonis. "Well hello, Mr. McGinty. How are you?" "I am fine, Miss. Goss. How are you?" he asked coming up to the front of the room. "I am just wonderful. Thank you for asking." "Mr. McGinty would you sing for us?"asked Caleb, raising his hand. "Well Mr. McGinty, will you?" "Of course I will. What do you want me to sing?" I paused for a second. "How about "Hills". Could you do that?" "Sure!" He took a deep breath and began to sing. I walked back to my desk and sitting down, closed my eyes, just letting his voice wash over me. The song ended and I opened my eyes. The class burst into applause, enthralled by his voice. "All right, settle down. Thank you Mr. McGinty, that was beautiful. All right class it's time to go home. Grab your things and line up." I turned to Damian. "You can stay here or go out to the car." I took them to the drop off place and went back to the classroom where Damian was waiting. "Damian that was beautiful. As usual." "Am I so predictable?" "Yup. Like right now, you're going to kiss my cheek." I wasn't wrong. So with one thing or another the school year ended quickly.

With a sigh I hit the submit button. I could just see my classes grades flying through the Internet cable and onto their computers. "That's it. I'm done. Finished all my grading. I'm also packed. I'm ready for a long vacation. When do we leave?" "Tomorrow." Damian kissed my neck. Mentally I went through my checklist. Find a doctor that could give me my shots. Check. Notify my normal doctor. Check. Notify my credit cards and anyone who would send me bills to send them to Damian's house. Check. Stop my mail at the post office. Check. Tell my friends and family. Check. Pack. Check. I then turned to my physical packing checklist. "Do I have everything packed?" I murmured to myself. My eyes scanned the list. Check. "You feeling alright?" "Check." "Sarah!" He laughed. "I just can't wait to get out of here and get on that plane. I've got checklists whizzing through my head. I also can't wait to meet your parents." "My folks are excited to see you too." Oh! I can't forget Keith's wedding. He and Lauren are such a cute couple." "Just like us?" "No! We're both ugly old hags." "Love you too, babe." "I know." "Well come on, let's take our ugly selves into the other room and watch a DVD." Taking my hand and tucking it firmly into his elbow, he led me into the living room. We popped in the Freshman Sing DVD. "Good memories." "Yup." "And we will make more memories when we get to Ireland." "I have so much to show you. You'll love it." "I can't wait." "You got your "survival kit" ready?" He teased. I refused to call my carry-on by it's proper name and called it my "plane survival kit" instead. "Yes I do." "You know what? I like your name for it better."

The next morning we got up really early. After a hasty breakfast we met our cab that would take us to the airport. We were flying out Love Field, since DFW was just to unpredictable. After we got our luggage scanned and went through security we handed out tickets to the steward. We finally found our seats in Business Class. Damian let me have the window seat so that I could get my first glimpse of Ireland. I watched as the ground fell away. It finally hit me. I was going to Ireland. After all those years dreaming, hoping, and praying here I was, on a plane, headed to Dublin. I had never told Damian about this dream of mine. Ever since I had discovered Celtic Thunder, my senior year of high school, I had felt this longing to go to Ireland. It was as if their music awoke this longing inside me. I had always know that I wanted to travel, but I never quite knew where to. Their music gave me the answer. Chuckling I pulled out my survival kit and grabbed this manuscript for a new book that I was working on lately. I read over the last few pages to remind myself where I was. Nodding I grabbed my pen and began to scribble.
Sorry these posts are getting shorter. It's been quite a rushed week.

Uhh the story Sarah's working on plays no part in this story. I just needed her to do something.
The trip went faster than all the other times I've flown. Probably because I didn't have the most beautiful woman it the world sitting right next to me. She has asked when we were flying back. I had been vague with my answers and had deliberately not gotten tickets back. Sarah looked out the window. "Damian look! It's green!" "We are now descending into Dublin. Please put your trays in an upright position and fasten your seat belts. Welcome to Ireland. Fáilte go hÉirinn." Sarah leaned over. "What does that mean?" "Welcome to Ireland, I think." "Oh all right." She turned her attention to the window once again. I understood perfectly. I had been the same way when I first came to America. Once we landed with a bump and bid to remove the seat belts, she grabbed her survival kit. My parents were meeting us at the airport to take us to my house. She was getting nervous. I remembered when I had first met her parents 4 long years ago. "Don't worry! They'll love you, just like I do." She gave me a shaky smile. We got our luggage and went to go meet them.
Again, sorry for the shortness. Life's hectic.

We got our luggage and went to go meet my parents. My mother kissed my cheek. "Hello Mum, Da. How are you?" "Just fine lad." My father turned to face Sarah. She was clutching my hand rather tightly. "And you must be Sarah. It's nice to meet you lass." "Thank you. It's nice to meet you too sir." She shook their hands. "Damian's told us a lot about you. He was quite liberal with his praise. We weren't sure if you were real or just a figment of his imagination. You just seemed to good to be true" "Oh I assure you I'm quite real, Mrs. McGinty'. My parents though Damian was an angel." "Really? I must of raised him right then." "You sure did, Mrs. McGinty." "Shall we go then?" said Da. "Yes, let's." I said. We loaded the luggage into the car and began the 3 hour drive to Derry. "Are you excited to be in Ireland, Sarah?" asked my Da. "Yes sir, especially since I've got Damian to show me around." "Hope you like history then." "I love history! It's one of my favorite subjects to teach." "That's good. Ireland's full of history." The rest of the car ride went by quickly. My parents made Sarah feel so welcome and thankfully didn't start telling embarrassing story's about me. We stopped at my parents for a "Welcome to Ireland" party. my entire family was there. I introduced Sarah to them all. It took a while because my family is kind of big. She seemed right at home, and took it well into stride. If she was shy, she was hiding it well. We had dinner and then went to my house to unpack. Sarah was tired so she went to bed soon afterwords. I stayed up a while later. Just before I went to bed I slid into the guest room where she was staying to check on her. She was fast asleep. I sat down on her bed and just gazed at her. I wondered just how I got so lucky to have found her and to have this amazing woman love me back. It was just a miracle I guess.

Hey, sorry I've not been updating regular-like. Life's been kinda hectic since the death of my grandpa. But I'm back with another update! YAY!
I can't believe that Sarah is actually here. Somebody pinch me. I went to go wake her up the next morning. I stepped into the guest room. "Good morning love." She rolled over to face me. "Good morning yourself." "Come on we've got a lot to do." "Including breakfast?" "Of course." "Then let me get dressed and ready." She crawled out of bed. I chuckled and went to go make breakfast. After breakfast we went to the nearby park. I had asked the lads to meet us there and all, save George, did. I saw Paul and Dom strolling down the path, Ryan shooting hoops, and Keith, Lauren, Neil, and Sadie sitting underneath a tree. Sarah recognized the Byrom's almost instantly. "Paul! Dom! How...Why...Oh my goodness!" "Well hello Sarah." Paul gave my shocked girlfriend a hug. Ryan snuck up behind her. "Sarah." She shrieked and nearly attacked him. "Ryan! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack. Not to mention the fact that I nearly killed you!" "Well remind me never to sneak up on you!" "Neil!" "Don't forget me!" "Keith! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. I feel faint." I slid my arm around her waist, just in case she did decide to faint. "Why are y'all here?" "Well the wedding is in little less than a week." "Oh. Well that makes sense. But then where's George?" "He's coming later. You must be Sarah. Neil's told me about you." "Sadie, am I right in guessing?" "Aye, It's so good to finally meet ye." "Same here. Will you be at the wedding?" "She better be!" said Lauren. "Aye, I will, I will!" We all began to laugh.

"Sarah, has Damian told you yet?" said Lauren "Told me what?" I shot an annoyed glance at him. "You're to be one of my bridesmaid." "Really! But you barely know me, why would you want me?" "Well see, I don't have much of a family, and I just have the feeling that we're going to be such good friends." "I...I'd love to. But I don't have a dress!" "And that's why we are taking you out!" Dom stepped to my side. She slid her hand through my elbow. "Now Damian, I suggest you release her, unless you want to go with us." His arm was quickly withdrawn. Lauren hooked onto me and Sadie linked with Dom. We began walking toward the street to catch the bus that would take us to the shops. Noticing how we were all arm-in-arm made me laugh. "What's so funny?" asked Sadie. "Look at how we are all arm-in-arm. Reminds me of Wizard of Oz." "Yes! I remember! Let's see, it went like this." said Dom. We all began to sing at the top of our lungs. "We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! We hear he is a Whiz of a Wiz, if ever a Wiz there was! If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was, the Wizard of Oz is one because, because, because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things he does!" "Wow, how mature!" I laughed. "I know, right?" laughed Sadie. We caught the bus and rode to the shops. "My only request is that it be golden or yellow." said Lauren. "Wow, you're pretty lenient." "I made my mum promise to shoot me if I went all Bridezilla." "I made my mom to promise the same thing for me. Not that I expect to get married all that soon." "Why not? Damian loves you." said Sadie "I don't know. It's just, I've been waiting for 4 years to marry him and now it just seems that he's forgotten." "Don't worry, it's bound to happen soon." "Thanks Dom. Now to that dress!" We found a gold floor length dress with a multi layered skirt that flared out when I spun around. I could just picture Damian's face when he sees me in this dress. "Oh my God that is perfect! You just have to get it!" squealed Dom. "Wow she's right!" said Lauren "Just wait until he sees you in that! His jaw will hit the floor!" said Sadie. "You know what, we should all change at the church so that all of our guys will have that reaction." "That's a good idea. Since none of the lads have seen the dresses we have...Their faces will be priceless!" said Sadie "That will work. We do enter after the lads. Now I know how you managed to get Keith with the spiders." said Dom as I re entered the dressing room to remove the dress. "How do you know about that? That was 4 years ago." I said. "We found after Keith got his revenge on Paul and Damian." "Keith did what!" "Yeah, Keith hid Damian's IPod, and switched Paul's hair gel on him." said Lauren, matter-of-factly. "So he doesn't know I was behind it?" "Not a clue." said Dom. "Think I'll tell him during the reception. That way he can't hurt me." "No, do it during the rehearsal. Right at the end, like maybe before you leave, so he'll have all the next day to brood over it." said Lauren. We all giggled darkly. "And the lads think we're evil." laughed Sadie.

When the girls came back we went for lunch. Sarah refused to show me the dress that she had gotten. We went to a little nearby bistro, mostly because it was convenient. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful conversation. "So Sarah, what are your plans?" asked Paul. "Well, tommorow I plan to take a tour of Damian's Ireland. The wedding isn't until the 13th, right? So I'll just play tourist for the week." "Yes the rehearsal's on the 12th, by the way." said Lauren. "Excellent." She said, steepeling her fingers like an evil genius. "And you're dating her why?" asked Ryan. "Because she's got me wrapped around her little finger." "And that's a good thing because?" "If I'm wrapped around her finger, I must have her heart." "And he does have my heart." "Hey, why don't we have a cookout on the beach for dinner?" asked Neil. Everyone murmured their approval. "We better assign dishes so we don't end up with the same result as last time." laughed Lauren "Last time? What happened last time?" asked Sarah "Last time we ended up with an all dessert and Guinness dinner. Not in the healthiest in the world, I know." explained Lauren. "Can I call dibs on dessert? I've got this recipe for a chocolate cake that is to die for." asked Sarah. "Can I help you with that? It sounds scrumptious" asked Sadie. "You two can do the dessert. But what's going to be our main meal?" said Dom. "Foil pack dinners?" asked Keith. "Good idea. Ryan, would you mind providing the meat? Dom, you and Paul can bring the vegetables, and Keith and I will bring the Guinness." said Lauren "Question, I don't drink alcohol, can I bring my on beverage?" asked Sarah "Sure. We should also bring our guitars, for entertainment purposes." said Lauren. Sarah turned toward Sadie. "Well we better start getting ready. The cake does take some time to bake, cool, and ice. We better go now." So we got up and left after I paid the bill, which was met with some protests. I looked at Neil and rolled my eyes. "Americans!" "Yes, and what is the problem with us Americans? Is our sense of propriety just too much to handle?" "I never said that." "Ah but you implyed it." "Did not." "Did too." "Oh stop it you guys. You sound like little children." said Sadie as we walked to our cars. When we got home Neil and I played Wii Soccer while the girls messed about in the kitchen. I wanted to ask Neil's advice on something important, but I couldn't do it because they could hear us in the kitchen. Finally they left to go get some essential ingredients for the cake. "Hey Neil, could I ask you something?" "Yeah Damo, What's up?" "I want to ask Sarah to marry me but honestly, I don't know when I should. Would during the reception be too much?" "I dunno, it all just depends on Sarah. I will tell you this much, when the moment comes you'll know it. Remember Keith proposed on the spur of the moment with no ring." I laughed, remembering when Keith called me to tell me the good news. "Just don't keep it waiting. Girls hate to be kept waiting and you've managed to keep it for 4 years. Don't try for 5." I hear the car pull up outside. Neil and I went outside to help with the groceries. There wasn't much, so we got it all inside on one trip. Soon the girls were mixing, pouring, and baking the cake. They wouldn't even let us lick the spoon and bowl, claiming that there wasn't any left. I snuck into the kitchen to verify this. They had literally scraped every last morsel of batter out of the bowl. There was none left. Sarah spotted me and she and Sadie shooed me out of the kitchen. "Can you believe it Neil? My house and they kick me out of my own kitchen!" "Unbelievable mate. Shall we teach them who's boss around here?" "We can hear you lads and if you want to show us who's boss around here your just going to have to wait until the cake is out of the oven. Don't want burnt cake now do we?" said Sarah. Neil turned to me. "I think I know who's boss around here. They are." he pointed to the kitchen. "Dang straight!" sang out Sarah. "Will that cake be done soon?" I asked. "Soon enough." said Sadie. "I swear if those girls bond, it'll be the downfall of us, mate." I said. "Too late!" sang Sarah and Sadie. "Oh no!" sang Neil and I. Just then the oven dinged to tell us that the cake was done. Sarah pulled out the heavenly creation and set it on the counter to cool. My house filled with the heavenly aroma of chocolate. The girls reentered the living room, arm-in-arm. "So you wanted to show us who was boss?" asked Sadie "Not much anymore."I said "Wise choice." said Sarah. We began talking about what ever, until the cake was cool enough to ice. Lucky us, there was no icing left over. They used it all up. Soon it was time to head out to the beach. We put the cake in a cake holder, grabbed our guitars (Neil's was in his car) and drove over to the beach.
