Well finally Ryan is showing some remorse! But I still want Adora to give him the works! After all Ryan deserves it for lying to Damo! Damo did the right thing by crashing in Zara and Terri's room! Glad he is going to buy that ring! Also love how you had Keith running everwhere franticly to find Damo and having him think some fans had Star-Napped him! UPDATE SOON! PLEASE!

Chapter TWENTY
Damian sighed and took Teri’s hand for support and to steel his nerves a bit. She said, “Go on, Irish. Tell them what happened last night-they can’t blame you for how you’re feeling right now.”
Just then, there was a was a knock at the door-breakfast had arrived, along with Emmet, who was just back from his morning run and smelled the bacon and followed his nose to the source. “Everything alright in here, mates? I just grabbed a muffin from the concierge’s desk and was heading to my room when I smelled bacon and….”
For the first time in about 24 hours, Damian smiled a genuine smile and said in a very tired voice, “Emmet you are welcome to join us. In fact, I insist since, what I have to say involves you, in a fashion, mate.”
Emmet walked in and sat at the table and, as they ate their breakfasts, Damian spilled his mind out to the startled and slightly angry table of his nearest and dearest friends and said, “Emmet, when we go to the next venue, you room with Keith and me and that is solid for the rest of the tour-I am just, um, done with Ryan and his lousy behavior toward me and Teri.”
Keith said, “SO, that’s what Ryan meant when he said he would do what you wanted of him, Damo. He also apologized for what happened, although, he owes you a bit more than that, if ya ask me.”
Zara said, “He only apologized because the wine made him tell the truth for a change-he is too smarmy around Teri, Keith. I have told him too many times to back the heck off but, he doesn‘t listen, you know?”
Emmet asked, “Um, what do I tell Neil and George about this? I have no problem with it but, I think they might if they hear Ryan‘s side of things before they hear it from us, ya know?”
“If they ask, we can tell them. Till then, I am talked out over this subject, OK, mates?” Damian said, softly as he leaned on Teri’s shoulder to his feet. “Oh, and Sharon can’t know anything of this from us. I do not want a mother hen clucking after me to see if I am OK, asking me to make things right with Ryan. I can‘t right now.”
Chapter TWENTY ONE
They all agreed-Sharon did not need to know why things were slightly shaken up at the next venue and Teri sort of pushed on her mind she did not want to ask about the switches in roommates.
They went through the show that night and all performed exactly the way they were supposed to but, when Emmet and Ryan sang ‘That’s A Woman’ Ryan was looking off stage at Teri the whole time he was floating around the stage with Zara. This unsettled Damian but, true to his showmanship, he did not let it affect HIS performance of his songs that Teri danced with him in. He sang his new song with Keith, a cover of an Outfield song called ‘One Hot Country’. His line in the song that made everyone take notice that Teri was onstage was:
‘I’ve seen so many things that I don’t understand Walks like a woman and acts like a man.’
And at the end of the song, Damian whistled loudly and made everyone swoon with his quicksilver laughter all through it.
When the show was over, Damian went back to his room with Teri and said, “I got the package I want ordered. When it comes in four weeks, we’ll put my revenge in play, OK?”
Teri knew it was the ring he had ordered for her engagement and knew that, while Damian was serious about getting engaged, she wanted to try to make things right for Ryan and Damian so, she cast her mind out for Ryan and found him chatting up the ladies in the pub in the base of the hotel. She called the pub and asked to speak to him. He was surprised when she agreed to meet him for a drink in the pub.
She went to the pub in Damian’s Derry sweatshirt and her blue jeans and sneakers with her hair in a loose twist with Chinese lacquered sticks in it that Damian had given her. She walked in and found Ryan nursing a Guinness and a glass with Coke on the table opposite his seat. He rose and offered her the chair like a gentleman.
“Um, I guess you’re wondering why I asked to meet you, Ryan.” Teri began softly. Her cousin, Adora, was hovering out of sight listening in for her opportunity to do her magic on Ryan. She was a Love Muse but she could also cool Love off if it was misplaced which this SO was. Teri said, ‘Not yet, Adora. I want him to twist a bit in the winds of his own loneliness before we find him a woman of his own. Then he can be hurt and damaged for a woman to fix him and train him to be a good man, what do you think?’
Ryan said, “You have something so rare in your eyes.” in his seductive purr. No woman had ever been able to resist his face to face charms before so, he was supremely confident in his abilities to win Teri over. “You know how much I love Damian like a brother and I do want him to be happy-truly. But, I think you would be happier with ME instead of him. I can make you happy, if you let me try. I think you are amazingly talented and very beautiful. You know you are-does he tell you that?” as he reached out and put his hand on hers and caressed it.
If she not been happy with Damian, she may have given him a chance-he was trying so hard but, she said, “What will it take for you to make things up with my Irish? He is sad that he can’t talk to you anymore and it hurts him. What hurts him, hurts me. So, what will it take, Ryan?” she had her own purr working on Ryan’s and she knew she was winning when he lowered his eyes and stared into his beer sadly. She took her hand from his and rubbed her neck with it. “Come on, Ryan. Tell me what you want.”
“I want someone like you to want me the way you want Damian! I know I can make you happier than he can-what is wrong with me and what I can give you?” he tried again taking her hand and kissing it softly and holding her hand to his cheek.
Keith and Neil walked in at that moment and saw Teri and Ryan together and Neil asked in a hushed whisper, “Keith, what is THAT? I wonder if Damo knows about this?”
Keith was a step ahead of Neil for a change and on his cell to Damian who answered, “Yeah, Keith? What’s the craic?”
“Five words, Damo: Teri. Ryan. In pub now.”

Chapter TWENTY TWO
Damian cast his mind and heart out to Teri. ‘Irish? What’s the matter?’
‘Who are you with right now?’ he asked with his voice shaking. He was in the elevator on his way to the pub as he was chatting with her. He was scared of what he would see. Keith would not have called him unless it was bad and he knew it.
She thought in his heart, ‘I am trying to do you a favor, Irish. I asked Ryan to meet me in the pub to see if I couldn’t broker a peace deal with the two of you and he hit on me again.’
‘Should I be angry enough to smack him one?’
Teri snatched her hand from his face and used the other one to slap him hard enough so that from the elevators, Damian heard it as he was exiting. Then, he heard her say, “Ryan Kelly, you are a male. That does not make you a MAN!” Damian entered the pub, she walked over to him and kissed him the two minute special she used when she wanted to make a man feel like a man and said, “This is a MAN. He loves me and doesn’t show off!” Damian walked over to the table where Keith and Neil were sitting with their mouths hanging wide open and said, “OK, what happened?” When they didn’t say anything, he smiled and said, “If ya don’t shut your mouths pretty soon, you will attract every spider in the place to your throats!” as he closed their jaws for them.
Teri, ‘In the interest of full disclosure, here is the exact way it happened.’ as she showed him her memory of the whole thing like he was in her mind and watching it all unfold. When he saw it for himself, he could not have been more in love with her than right then. He saw a guy pull the metal band off a cigar and asked him for it. He walked over to Teri and got on one knee, “Teri Athena Sichory, I love you, more than any words could ever say. Will you marry me and make me the happiest man in all of the world?”
He slid the cigar ring on her finger and waited for her to say something. She looked at him with tears streaking her hazel eyes and said, “Damian Joseph McGinty, I need you, and there isn’t any more to ever say except yes, Irish I will marry you! I love you so much!” drawing cheers from everyone in the bar including Keith and Neil. Ryan heard the cheering from the pub bathroom and saw Damian slid a ring on her finger and hardened his resolve to make her pay for making him look like a fool in front of the band. News of his engagement flew through the press like tissue on fire and, the next morning at the band meeting, Sharon went through the announcements for the day and said, “And now, I heard about last nights craic and I see that Teri is wearing a new piece of jewelry. Is it true, Damo? Did ya ask for her hand in marriage?”
“Yeah I did and I am the happiest member of Celtic Thunder you could ever ask for, Sharon!” as he walked over to Teri and picked her up, spinning her around in a tight embrace.
“Long as it doesn’t affect the show, I have no problem with it at all!” She had an argument for how young they were and how fast this all occurred but, she left it on the floor when she saw how happy Damian really was and she just couldn’t take that away from him

Chapter TWENTY THREE
Ryan was sporting a pair of sunglasses when he arrived for the meeting and did not take them off the whole time he was there. When the meeting was over, he went back to his room and sat heavily on the end of his bed. George and Neil came in after him and saw why the shades were on at the meeting-a huge shiner on his right eye. Neil, inwardly grinned himself silly knowing who had done it and why and said to George, “Let’s go and get him some ice for that blackened eye of his.”
Neil and George went to the ice machine and got two buckets of ice and while they were out, Neil told George how Ryan had gotten his shiner and said, “Don’t be too mad at him, George. Teri is fine and Damo and her are happy and, in fact, got engaged last night. Don’t worry about Damo. Teri loves him very much. She’ll never hurt him, you know that.”
Damian saw them in the hall an smiled at them. “Hey, George! I am the happiest man in the world today. Teri said YES! I guess I’m getting married.”
George said, “Damo, Teri gave Ryan a huge black eye. I wonder, if it doesn’t go down how the show will go on. Sharon will have a fit if she sees his face. I understand why Teri hit him but, she really clocked him.”
Damian said, “Take a picture of his eye and send it to my cell and I will let Teri decide if we can forgive him for hitting on her again or not. It’s all up to my fiancee.” Teri smiled when she heard all the thoughts of her new extended family and how happy they were for her and Damo being engaged. Ryan was all frowny faced and sulking in his room. He was upset that she had chosen to commit to Damo over him. That hurt him very much because he thought, ‘I think Teri is the one that got away from me.’-her eyes went wide when she realized he was in love with her. All she could think was, ‘Ewwww! Too conceited for my love!’
Keith went to visit Ryan in his room. “Come to pick on me and call me a git for trying to break up Little Damo’s grand romance?”
“Nah, Ryan. Hey the shiner is pretty bad, huh? And, it was given to ya by a woman! No, that is the craic of this whole mess! You got hit by a girl and she liked it!”
Ryan got up from his spot on the bed and said, “I am going to tell Sharon I can‘t go on tonight because I am sick-better yet, you tell her I can‘t sing because I have no voice today. That‘ll keep her from seeing this bloody black eye. And, since we have two days off, I can heal it before she has to see it!”
Keith said, “Um, OK. I am pretty sure Damo can sing your parts in a lot of your songs, Teri will dance in those he does and it’ll be good craic for tonight. Just rest up and heal your eye, Ryan.” Keith used his silencer on his camera phone and took a shot of Ryan’s bruised eye and sent it to Teri’s phone. When she saw it she said to herself, ’It served his ego right to get a shiner. BUT, I did hurt him and I sort of feel bad so…’ She called her cousin the Healing Muse and said, ‘Apothecary, can you slowly heal his eye so it is fixed by like Sunday night’s show?’ He can suffer for today but, start to heal him up please? I can’t stand that I did that to his face, ya know?’
Her cousin said, ’Of course. Didn’t know you had it in ya, didja?’ as her laughter filled Teri’s mind, making her smile. She knew she had to be on her guard with Ryan but, she hoped she would not ever have to hit him again.
Sharon was not happy about Ryan losing his voice but, she knew she had five guys who could take up his slack and she just told Keith, “If he is not healed by Sunday night’s show, I am gonna kill him, you got me?”
The show had to go on….

Chapter TWENTY FOUR
That night before the show was to start, Sharon called the group together. “Um, due to a cold, Ryan can’t sing right now. I need Damian to sing his part in ‘That’s A Woman’ and Zara, if you don’t mind, Teri will dance your part in that song. I need you guys to step it up for me. Ryan lost his voice and we need to cover for him till Sunday.”
They all agreed to step it up for her sake and for Phil’s sanity so it would flow seamlessly for that night. When Damian was doing Ryan’s singing, he hadn’t forgotten this was on a live feed for the whole hotel and put a bit more of himself into the words so Ryan could see he was enjoying having more of the spotlight on him. Ryan was feeling miserable so, when the concert was going on, he was up in his room watching the event on the feed and watched Teri doing Zara’s dancing in his song and felt a pang in his heart for her.
Teri sensed him and his feelings for her and, ordinarily she would not care about the unrepentant Ryan and his feelings but, she found she did care for him-insomuch as it affected Damian and how heavy his heart was over losing touch with one of his most nearest and dearest friends. Teri, ‘Irish? I have a way to make Ryan feel better but, you REALLY have to trust me. Do ya, Irish? Trust me, that is?’
He dipped her where the song said to. ‘I am marrying you, right? I trust you with everything. I told you to do what you had to to Ryan. Just keep me in the loop and I am fine with whatever you do to fix the whole mess, my love.’ Then, the song ended and he was just supposed to walk her off the stage holding her in his arms but, since he knew Ryan was watching the feed, he grabbed her by the arms, spun her into him and kissed her deeply. Ryan, sat on the end of his bed and watched her with hot, silent tears sliding down his face.
Teri called out for Adora. ‘We need Sephony and I can’t get ahold of her. Find her please?’ Sephony was Terpsichory’s twin sister and, was the more compassionate of the twins-she could feel and twist people’s pain to joy and sadness to happiness and complete bliss. She had a plan, alright but, it was contingent on her being able to convince her little sister to help her with Ryan.
Later on that night, they were watching a blackjack tournament on the casino feed in Damian, Keith and Emmet’s room. Keith said to Damian, “See, Damo? All’s I need is some practice and I can beat you. When we get to Las Vegas you are going down, boy-o!” as he laughed at the players on the screen.
Teri, sensed a presence so she got up out of Damian’s arms and walked to the bathroom. She looked in the mirror. Sephony’s face, which looked like hers exactly, smiled back at her and said, ’Hey, sis. Miss me?’
