Chapter TWENTY FIVE
She smiled back at her long lost twin and said, ’Come to the door of the room and meet my fiancee and I will fill you in on what I have been up to.’ She walked out to the living room area and counted to three in her head. The knock at the door startled everyone in the room except Teri, who went to get the door with Damian behind her. When she opened it, Damian’s jaw hit the floor. “Seffie! You came! I am so glad to see you!’ Teri hugged her sister tightly. “Damian! Seff, this is my Irish, my fiancee. Irish, this is my sister, Sephony. Seff, I’d like you to meet Keith and Emmet. Guys, this is my little sister…”
“Little by only two minutes, she means. Hi guys! How’s it?” as she walked in and they saw her face in the full light. She laughed when she saw their jaws hanging open like Damian’s. ’You didn’t tell them I was your identical twin, huh? Nice shock on their faces, Teri. Real nice.”
“Guys, it’s only her twin, “Damian said, recovering from the initial shock. “I’m sorry for the lads, Seff. It’s not like they haven’t seen a pretty girl before, ya know?”
Sephony smiled at Damian. ’Teri, this one is certainly a charmer and a half. And, his friends are gorge! What do you need me here for again?’
‘Seff, it’s not for them. It’s for Ryan Kelly.’ she sighed in her sister’s head. ’Wait til you see my memories of the last few weeks…’ When she saw what Teri had been through, she said, ‘I get to handle him?? Oh, please, let me at him, Teri. I will dazzle and frazzle him for you.’
Damian saw the eyes moving between the two sisters. ‘Teri, is she gonna help you with Ryan? Oh, it is SO on!’ as he smiled and offered Seff his seat on the couch. He hugged Teri and said aloud, “I am glad you’re here, Seff. I wanted to meet Teri’s family and find out what she was like as a child. You must have some great craic between the two of you!”
Teri said, “And, since she is meeting my fiancee for the first time, she will NOT tell any embarrassing stories since I can do the same to her, right, Seffi?” as she and her sister laughed softly.
The next morning, Ryan went to get some ice for his cooler bag so he could head for the bus. Seffi was on her way back to the room from her run. They bumped into each other and she said, “Hey, sexy!” as she walked into Zara and Teri’s room. He smiled and wondered if he had heard her right-’She just called ME sexy?? I must be hearing things.’
He gathered his stuff and went down to the bus. Teri was already on the bus with Damian, sitting in the galley reading fan mail. He walked by them and was unpacking his stuff when he thought, ‘I just saw her UPSTAIRS??’ He said, “I forgot my Ipod. I’ll be right back. You two stay here, OK?”
He went back to his room and got his Ipod and was on the way back to the buses when he spied the honey brown hair in the elevator. He ran for the door and slid into the car just as it closed going down. “Thought you were staying in the bus with Damo.”
Seffi laughed and said, “Nope. Why would I do that? I would have missed spending time with you in here.” she purred. “Besides, Damo is not for me. You might be, though…”, thoroughly shocking the heck out of one Ryan Kelly.

Chapter TWENTY SIX
Ryan’s heart soared when she said that. “Um, do you want to ride on the lead bus with me? We can sit together if you want to.”
“Sure, Ryan! I would love to sit on with you on the bus. You are so sweet to ask. Thanks!” as she went to grab her bag at the same time he did. Their hands touched and she felt the spark and the tell tale scent of lillies which accompanied her cousin Adora and knew the Love Muse was up to her old tricks. Not that she minded this time but, she still glared at her cousin’s work. “Lead the way, Gorgeous!”
Ryan still thought this was Teri and he was loving the extra attention she was paying him because it meant she wasn’t with Damian. Just then, he saw the second bus passing them on the highway and saw Damian with a definite pair of woman’s arms around his waist and a flash of honey brown hair. He did a double take and said in a small voice, “Teri?” to which he was shocked to find a girl shaking her head at him.
“Nope. My name is Sephony and I am Teri’s twin sister.” She held out her hand to him and said, “Pleased to meet you, Ryan.”
He grinned as he settled back in his seat and proceeded to get to know the new girl on the bus better. When they had pulled in to a rest stop, she got up and said, “I need to see my sister for a minute. Be right back, Ryan, love.” He watched her walk off the bus and climb on the other one. He hoped she would come back to him before the buses started off again-he was getting to know her and liked what he knew of her so far.
‘Teri, he is a dreamboat! I so think I can have a lot of fun with that one!’
‘Seff, just be good to him. I want him to lay off Damian and me and make things right with Damian before this tour is over. Think you can manage that?’
Just then Sharon came on board and said, “Seffi? Ryan is asking for you to come back and join him. Since he is still feeling under the weather, be nice to him. He is alone on the lead bus as we have a group meeting here. He doesn’t like to be alone, you know?”
‘Seffi, just be nice to him, OK? Make him like you and patch things with Damo and I will love you forever!’
She hugged her sister and said in her ear, “Make the best of it, Seff!”
Damian came up behind Teri and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Seffi likes him, huh? Maybe she can be the one to make him happy and forget about chasing after you.” as he kissed her neck and pulled her onto his lap as the buses took off again.
The group meeting was about the show the night before. Sharon said, “OK, we got through the show last night with flying colors. Damian the ladies in the first four rows swooned when you did ‘That’s A Woman’. If Ryan can’t ever go again, that song is so yours to do!”
Damian grinned ear to ear when she said that. “Thanks for that!” and Teri playfully poked him in the side, shaking her warning finger at him. When he stopped smiling, she grinned at him and he could not help but grin again.
Chapter TWENTY SIX AND A HALF
Teri spent the meeting casting her mind out to the bus to get their vibes:
Keith, ‘I hope when we get to Atlantic City, I can go boogie boarding just once! Maybe get Damo to come along for some craic…’
Neil, ‘I finished another song! Half done with the album, thanks to Damo and Teri and their love story-epic songs from that!’
George, ‘Teri fixed my computer so I could chat with Sarah and Carrie via Skype-life is good. Damo needs to take his time on the whole marriage thing. Why rush? He is only 18...’
Emmet, ‘I still have that stupid ‘Electric Slide’ song in my head…. ‘Are you comin' with me? Come let me take you on a party ride And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you I'll teach you the electric slide Some say it's mystic It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't resist it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't do without it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie Jiggle-a-mesa-cara she's a pumpin' like a matic She's movin' like electric She sure got the boogie’
Oh come on and leave my head alone, already!’
Teri was quaking with silent laughter as she keyed into her Ipod and cued up Grandmaster Slice’s ‘Electric Slide’ and, when the meeting was over, played it on her speakers, making Emmet’s face glow pink from his ears to his nose. “How did you know?” he asked her, smiling.
“What? I like that song. It’s fun.”
“I have it stuck in my head and I need to get it out.” he said, flushing again.
Damian grinned and said, “Stop the bus!”

Chapter TWENTY SEVEN
When they pulled over in the next rest stop, he said, “Everyone out of the bus-we need to help Emmet get this song out of his head.” as he jumped off the bus. “Teri, bring the music.”
Emmet got off the bus. Keith asked, “What are we doing?” Emmet shrugged his shoulders in that ‘I don’t know’ look so, he was curious as well as to what Damian had planned.
Damian said, “Teri knows how to do the Electric Slide and I want to do it now!” Six shocked faces-George, Keith, Emmet, Neil, Sharon and Phil looked at Damian like he had three eyes. He gave his best puppy dog face and said, “Come on. This is the best way to get rid of that silly song in Emmet’s head. Let’s try it and see if we can all do it! Teri, if you please, love?”
Teri turned on the Ipod and the music started. She said, “Follow me and we can do it. It’s Electric!” as she showed them all the moves to do for the dance. Once they got the moves all down, she proceeded to put them through the full song and it set Sharon to thinking, ‘Maybe I can get Phil to make a Celtic ‘Electric Slide’ and the guys can do it onstage-this would be SO cute!’
Teri and the guys were dancing in a line behind the bus and, of course, Ryan couldn’t see what was going on. When he got off the bus and poked his head around the side to spy, he saw them doing the dance and sighed. Seffi saw him slouch next to the bus and went around the side to see what was happening. When she saw the ‘Slide’ being done, she joined in and did it with them a few times before bowing out to go back to Ryan who had gone back to the bus and was sitting there alone, with hot tears streaming down his face. Seffi heard his thoughts, ‘I really screwed up. What can I do to make Damo and Teri forgive me for being such a jerk toward them? Now, I am missing out on all the fun and it is killing me.’
She made some noise so he could wipe his tears away and climbed back on board the bus. She said, “You know, if you want to surprise the band, I can teach you the ‘Slide” on this bus and you’ll be able to do it with us the next time we do this. Teri needed to get the group to re-bond or some such thing so, I can teach you, if you want me to.” as she took his hand in hers and laced her fingers into his. She showed him the song from Grandmaster Slice on her own Ipod and said, “Come on, I dare ya to do it with me. Just try. Or, are you a slow chicken?”
He laughed at the last comment. “What exactly is a ‘slow chicken’?
“You know, one who is scared to try anything new and, instead of clucking like a normal chicken would goes ‘Baaa-gawck’ really slowly in fear. So, what are ya? A fast or, a slow chicken?”
Never able to resist a challenge especially, from a beautiful woman, Ryan said, “Teach me oh, Great One and I will be forever in your debt!”
She turned on her Ipod and showed him the steps in the galley a couple of times to show him how to do it and then took his hand and said, “Do it with me, Ryan.” He began slowly and wasn’t on the beat but, as his confidence grew, he learned the steps and could do it well enough that he could keep up with the music. Seffi was happy with how he did and when he came up for the next go round on the ‘Slide’, she caught him around the waist and kissed him hard on the mouth, stopping him cold. His arms wrapped around her and deepened the kiss until he was completely breathless and, beaming off the ceiling.
Chapter TWENTY EIGHT
The buses pulled into Atlantic City where they were supposed to have four days off for fun in the sun and then do four shows in five days and head off to the next gig in Washington, DC. They checked into Caesar’s Palace and, once they were unpacked in the suites gathered in Damian, Keith and Emmet’s room to figure out what they were doing in their time off. All except Ryan, who hung back in George, his and Neil’s suite alone. When Seffi didn’t see him at this meeting she said, in a loud-ish voice, “Well, I am going to see Ryan and spend time with him if anyone wants to join us we may go for a walk on the beach if I can get him to go outside and take in this summer breeze.”
Zara said in a soft voice, “Guys we have been a bit hard on him over the last couple of days. We need to include him in a group thing of some sort tomorrow so he can feel like he is a part of US again, you know?”
Teri checked the weather on the television and said, “Keith a tropical storm is pulling off the coast tomorrow. The waves will be epic for Atlantic City. We can go and do some boogie boarding if you want to.” Damian’s face fell a bit till she sighed and said, “I suppose we HAVE to bring Irish here so he can learn how to do it, too.” Then his face lit up again and she said, “On your own much?”
“Not since you said you would marry me, no!” as he wrapped his arms around her legs on the couch they were sitting on and put his head back on the pillow in her lap. She was absently running her finger in his hair when she said, “Hey guys! I have the perfect experience to bring us all back together-A beach day! What do you think?”
Damian said, “We better bring loads on sunscreen to the beach. We Irish tend to burn in the hot sun!” as the rest of the group laughed and agreed to try to have fun together.
Seffi, meanwhile, had gone to Ryan in the other guys’ suite and knocked on the door. He opened it and she said, “They are all planning a beach day tomorrow for the group and want you to join us there. Please say you’ll come.” as she stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin lightly. “For me, Ryan?” He bent his head down and captured her lips then, he nodded his head and she smiled. ‘Teri, he said he would come. Now what can we do to mess with him a little? Wear the same swimsuits? Do you have the blue number with the low back?’
‘Yeah I have that one. Damo says he wants to see me in it. Now I can wear it and mess with Ryan-two birds with one blue stone, huh, sis?’
‘Tomorrow we commence with messing with Ryan’s heart but, just a little so he knows what a complete numpty he is and apologizes!’
Teri sighed and said, ‘Deal!’

Chapter TWENTY NINE
That night, everyone went out to various places for dinner-everyone that is, except for Ryan and Seffi. She was in the room she shared with Zara and Teri and, since she was not invited out, she called the ‘black sheep’ of the tour and was surprised when he picked up the hotel phone. She said, “Shepherd to Lost Sheep. Shepherd to Lost Sheep. Come in Lost Sheep!” as she laughed over the line. “I have DEFINITELY been watching too much ‘Dukes of Hazard’ on television. Sorry, Ryan. Are you up for some company?”
He smiled and then, sighed and said, “What? They didn’t invite you out on your first night with us?”
“No, I was invited out by Keith. Then Neil, Emmet, and Damian and Teri but, I wanted to have dinner tonight with someone else.”
“Oh, so you are going out then? Who’s left?”
“You know what? You are so thick. I wanted to spend this evening with the gallant man who I taught how to dance today.” as she knocked on his door and hung up her cell phone.
He smiled his first real smile in ages at her when she walked into the room accompanied by room service. “Dinner for two. I hope you’ll say yes, Ryan.”
He said softly, “I would love to spend this evening with you, Seffi.” as he took her hand and led her to the table where dinner was laid out already and waiting for them. He pulled her chair out and seated her and then settled into his own chair. He was happy she wanted to spend time with him but, he was sad that he couldn’t tell Damian how happy he was-he missed him so much. He sighed sadly at that thought.
Seffi said, “Now, now. Ryan, you are not to think of anything bad that has happened in the past tonight. No. Tonight you are having dinner with me and I want you to be happy!”
They had an enjoyable dinner and were sitting on the couch in the living room area of the suite when George and Neil walked in from being out at the pubs crawling with Keith and Emmet.
Neil said, “Hey Ryan, how are you doing?” Then he saw Seffi laying with her head in his lap and said, “Better than I am, I can see. At least you got a girl! Oh well, good night and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” as he went to bed and comfy pillows and clean sheets which was what his buzzing head needed right then.
George said, “Lassie, you should head off soon because Sharon likes us all in our rooms at 1 AM and it is 12:30 now. Off with ya and you can see our Little Ryan tomorrow.”
Ryan walked her to the door and kissed her goodnight as Neil and George watched from the bedroom door. “What, we had dinner together. It was purely innocent, I swear.” to which he heard, “Yah, SURE it was.” as they all went to bed for the night.
Seffi heard them all talking through the link she had to Ryan’s mind and laughed all the way to her room. She was about to hit the bed when Zara came in and blew past her bound for the bathroom to clear her stomach of the alcohol she has consumed at the pub. She heard her thoughts, though. ‘That is the LAST time Keith and Emmet get me to go drinking with them! Ugh! I hate being sick!’
Right after that, Teri and Damian came into the room and they were glowing from the effects of something she knew Adora had put in their drinks to make them TOO happy for words. Seffi, ‘Hey, doll! Are you OK?’
‘Yeah we are better than happy, Seff! We love you goonight to ya!’
Seffi laughed and went in her room and settled in for a long sleep when Ryan texted her: Enjoyed tonight a lot. Want to do it again tomorrow? Ryan.
She replied: Um, sure. You are one sweet guy, you know that, right? Good night, Sexy!
Both of them drifted off to sleep…..Damo and Teri were too giddy to sleep and did something a bit rash….
OK, ladies, this is gonna get so good. And there is a PLUS ONE coming soon! Stay tuned....
