Sandra put her hand over her mouth to stifle a yawn. "I am wrecked already, I don't know how I am going to survive the rest of this tour" she confessed

"You will get use to it after a while" Larry replied

"I just hope we will still be around as long as you guys to enjoy it" Sandra told him.

Larry just smiled "You did well tonight, just stick it out, and try to have fun, when its no fun any more thats when you know its time to hang up your hat" he advised.

"Oh I intend to have fun.. I love getting up on stage performing.. it makes me feel whole.. complete somehow" she wasnt sure if Larry understood exactly what she was trying to say.

But he nodded his head and smiled his blue eyes telling her he understood completely Then his cell phone went of, he had turned it back on in case the other band members needed to speak with him or visa versa, it was late, he didnt think Kirsty would ring him at this time.. but she did. and even worse he could tell by the way she spoke she was drunk. "I wasn't going to phone you cos you hung up on me" she said sullenly

"I had to go I was getting ready to go onstage" Larry informed her curtly

"But you didnt even say Bye" she wheedled "Why are you being so distant with me Larry.. its another woman isnt it?" she then accused

"Don't start that again Kirsty" Larry warned feeling his annoyance rising "If you must know its those stupid accusations that are really starting to get on my nerves"

"Well its hard for me stuck here and you away, I imagine all sort of things, I mean you must have girls throwing themselves at you"

"Yeah, but doesnt mean I am going to cheat on you with them...some trust would be really nice"

"I want to trust you.. but I just feel so insecure.. I can't handle it when you are away from me"

"well you knew what I done when you got involved with me you knew I would be travelling around a lot.. you said you could handle it" Larry reminded her

"I thought I could.. but now I am not so sure.. I hate sharing you with the rest of the world, I hate sharing you with the rest of the members of U2, I want you all to myself"

Larry sighed this was the kind of stifling remarks that was driving a wedge between them.. this relationship was not going to work he felt like Kirsty was trying to sufficate him. "You know that is not possible, you are asking me to give up everything to be with you" he tried to reason with her.. though he knew in her drunken state it wasnt going to be easy

"If you loved me you would" she replied

Larry sucked in his breath "You know that is crap Kirsty"

he then remembered that he was not alone and Sandra was sitting opposite him, looking a little uncomfortable havintg to overhear the personal conversation.. he wasn't too happy about it himself.

"Look Kirsty we will talk again tomorrow, I really got to go now, I am not alone" he said in a lowered tone.

"Oh who is she?" Kirsty's tone was accusing.

"Don't start that again.. I got to go, I will talk to you tomorrow when you are sober and sensible" She was swearing at him when he hung up

"Bloody women" Larry snapped in annoyance, then caught Sandra's eye as she seem to shrink back in her seat wishing she was not there.

He looked sheepish and give a small shrug "You know how it is"

Sandra managed a small smile. still feeling like she wanted to crawl under the seat Seemed it wasn't just the members of Lutra who were having a stormy day.
