Neve POV

I held the phone to my ear nervously as I listened to Cody exhale. After I had explained what I needed his help with he had been silent like he was deep in thought and the suspense was killing me.

If this failed I was back to the drawing board and I had little to no other options and more than anything I wanted things between Damian and I to work out.

"Alright.......I agree sneaking around isn't ideal but the two of you do need to be able to have time alone" he says "as for your request to swap rooms with me that isn't going to work because I'm next door to Damian and Finn.............but there is a way I can help you"

"Really how?" I ask excitedly

"Like you said you will owe me one and I will call that favour in when I need it" he says

"Absolutely I agree" I say

"Well then with that settled" he says "as you know I use my bus to travel but I sleep in the hotels.......so between travel I will give you both full use of my bus when you need it. I just have two rules, clean up any mess you make and no sex anywhere but the bed"

"Deal, Cody you are the best but I don't recall saying anything about sex" I say

"Oh come on, it's inevitable it will go that way" he laughs "and it goes without saying your secret is safe with me"

Damian POV

Staring at my phone I had no idea what I was going to do. Neve had let me know she had found a solution and wanted me to meet tonight, at the same time thinking I wouldn't be seeing her I had agreed to go out with the gang.

I had no idea how I could get out of this and I desperately wanted to see Neve.

"You Priest you ready to go?" Rhea shouts through the door

"I think in going to give it a miss, I'm not really in the mood" I shout back

"You agreed to go, you're going now move it" she says and then I hear her walk away.

Sighing I get myself off the bed, and make my way down to the hotel lobby. On a rival I find the rest of the gang gathered waiting for me.

As I get closet I start to hear bits of their conversation and I hear them mention Neve's name and my blood immediately starts to boil.

"Yeah we need to figure out what to do with her" Rhea says "any ideas Priest"

"Don't bring me into this, I want no part of it" I say "I'm not going to plan against her, she's done nothing to us, she's innocent in all of this so I think we should just leave her alone"

"Since when do you protect people outside of this group" she asks

"Since you took things too far" I growl "it's a god damn storyline Rhea and you made it part of your real life too. Outside of work there is no issues, no groups and you need to remember that"

"I know it's a storyline" she snaps "don't you ever take that tone with me again"

"You know what, screw you" I snap "screw all of you, enjoy your night I'm out of here"

I storm passed them and out of the hotel door. Taking out my phone and look at Neve's instructions for meeting her.

Following them to the letter I find myself standing outside of Cody's bus. Before I have chance to think the door opens and I find Neve smiling at me.

"Hey, I was starting to think you weren't  coming" she says

Without a word I enter the bus, close the door, take her in my arms and kiss her tenderly.

"You alright?" She asks breaking away from me

"Yeah I am now" I smile "so why are we in Cody's bus?"

"He's letting us have full use of it between travelling so we can have time alone" I say and he's eyes widen "don't worry he's cool with us and he won't say anything. Now I want you to tell me the truth, I can feel that you're not ok" she says

"I just had a row with the Rhea" I sigh "I'm so sick of all of this, I just want it to end and I just want to be with you"

"Well right now you are with me" she says taking my face in her hands "so put them out of your mind and let's enjoy our time together, we have all night if you want it"

"I would love nothing more than a whole night with you" I say pulling her close to me "I've missed you"

"I've missed you too" she says "I forgot to say it last night but I like you Damian.......a lot. I don't know how but you've got me hook and I'm hoping you won't ever let me go"

"Never" I smile "now that we've started there is no going back.......you're mine" I say before capturing her lips with mine in another tender kiss.
