Just a thought

What if magazine is important but not important at all... it's there for a moment and never gets mentioned again... it's just one short scene really...

Buck is reading THE magazine (it's some ver of gay playboy, with hot guys and nice articles - if you wish) and Hen makes a comment "for a moment there I thought it's Eddie on that cover", and Buck laughs but he looks at the cover again, and he gets why Hen said that... and now that he saw it he cannot unsee it as he read through the article with more "nice" photos of the guy from cover... with this black shirt unbuttoned, showing the skin, black pants low on his hips, barefoot, half laying in this kingsize bed... and he looks like Eddie...

But a number | Cillian x Fem!Reader | Mini-Series | Part Three |

Summary: Reader is a young well known actress, Cillian is her older boyfriend. How do they manage with all the attention? Request: Anon. Warnings: Language. 18+. Drinking. mentions of vomit (i know sometimes this isn't everyones thing). Age Gap (19 years but Reader is in her 20's) A/N: Pictures used are from Pinterest. The next part will be the final part. Haven't proof-read or edited this!

•But a number•

Cillian pulled up outside the bar, you had called him forty minutes ago, far to drunk to stay out with your sister and friends, begging him to come get you because you couldn't function.

Cillian pulled up outside the bar, you had called him forty minutes ago, far to drunk to stay out with your sister and friends, begging him to come get you because you couldn't function.

He cursed under his breath at the amount of press outside, knowing someone had spotted you and called someone to get down, get pictures for tomorrows entertainment sections and magazines for weeks to come.

You weren't answering you phone, so he had no choice but to cut the engine and get out of the car, pulling the beanie on, head down, confident strides to the door.

He was let in without a word, met by a member of staff who took him straight up to the VIP room, he was so mad at you right now, he hated being plastered over the papers hated anything written about you that wasn't to do with your acting.

You were on the large sofa, towards the back of the room, your sister and friends were all having the time of their lives, drinks in hand.

"Cilly" your sister shouted far too close to his ear, he liked her but right now he wasn't in the mood.

"Oh god, y/n is going to be in trouble with her old man" one of your friends cackled, Cillian wasn't even sure who she was.

You finally opened your eyes, Cillian crouched down next to the sofa "Lets get you out of here, eh?" he was mad at you but the state of you made his anger soften.

"Cill" you muttered, hand running over his cheek "you came" you sighed.

Cillian nodded, helping you stand up, grabbing your bag from the sofa hooking it under his arm "of course, you called" he stated, leading you from the room without a word to the others.

***

You couldn't keep your eyes open, on-coming headlights of the odd car passing blinding you, Cillian wasn't talking as he navigated the Dublin streets back to your house, the radio playing some talk show, something he always had on when he wasn't listening to his music obscenely loud.

"I'm sorry" you sighed, sitting up straighter in the leather seat, your hand falling to his thigh.

He turned to look at you quickly "It's fine, ok?"

You pouted, the feeling of the last couple of shots not settled in your stomach washed over you "I'm-shit..going to be sick" your hand flew to your mouth.

"Not in here, fuck sake y/n" he was pulling over, the roads quiet at this hour of the morning.

You stumbled from the passenger seat, the result of your night spilling onto the grass verge, with another sigh Cillian unstrapped, getting out, pressing the button for his hazard lights before he was at your side.

He had bundled your hair in his hand, the other one rubbing at your heaving back "When are you going to realise you can't keep up with your sister huh?" he chuckled lightly.

You wiped your mouth with the back of your hand, throwing daggers in his direction "I think it's your driving" you huffed straightening out your dress, batting his hand away.

"Oh yes, how rude of me, coming out at 2am to get you and drive so recklessly when you tell me youre going to throw up"he rolled his eyes helping you back to the car

"Just want to get home" you mumbled as he leaned across you to strap you in, the smell of alcohol and the vomit hitting his nose, he took a deep breath of the night air on his way round to the drivers side.

Cillian had finally got you up the stairs, out of your dress and into some form of pyjamas, you'd flopped onto the kingsize bed and immediatley started to snore, puffs of air leaving your parted lips.

He slipped into the small gap left flicking out the light, as you rolled over, body half on his, arm across his middle "love you cilly" you sighed half asleep, he was really struggling to stay mad at you.

***

The news article was sent through to your email by your manager, you groaned at the light on the screen making your eyes hurt even more, Cillian had placed a large cup of coffee under your nose and was busy making some kind of carb loaded breakfast to help your delicate state.

You clicked the link, with another groan at the headline, praying Cillian hadn't been papped going into the club to retrieve you.

***

One too many for this innocent starlet?

(above) Y/N dancing on the tables to celebrate the success of her latest blockbuster in Dublin.

Y/N, 26, was seen out on the town with friends last night, she was enjoying herself in the VIP area of Sam's Bar in Dawson Street. The young filmstar who recently celebrated a successful major film role, was letting her hair down as she danced upon the tables in the VIP area, surrounded by her friends and sister.

(above) Cillian attending the premiere of Y/N's film in London last month. Newly engaged to major hollywood star Cillian Murphy, 45, she had a lot to celebrate, even though her very private Fiancé was no where to be seen, until around 2am when he cut a very casual figure sneaking into the bar, rumoured to be collecting a very drunk Y/N.

(above) Cillian being escorted into the bar, by bar staff.

The couple didn't announce their engagement publicly, until the ring was spotted during a red carpet event in Dublin a week ago, they politely declined to discuss the engagement. The pair have been very private when it comes to talking about their relationship, speculation points towards the nineteen year age gap between them.

(above) Y/N making her way to another bar on her boozy night out.

Earlier in the evening Y/N was seen walking through Dublin from the restaurant where the girls had a quiet dinner, before the chaos of the night started.

Y/N is known for several film roles and TV shows, having met Cillian on a small independant film two years ago, maybe she's ready to have wild few months before they tie the knot?.

Cillian however does like a night out, the couple were spotted in London last year after the premiere of their film, having a loving moment outside of a Soho bar, where they'd spent the evening with cast mates and friends.

***(above) Cillian and Y/N share a moment outside a Soho Bar.

Hopefully Cillian can rein in Y/N's partying and Y/N in turn can keep him young! *** Cillian sat back in the chair, placing your phone on the table "It's not bad" he sighed, eyes finding yours across the table. You got up from your chair, making your way around the table, slipping onto his lap, dropping a kiss to his lips "I feel like an idiot" you pouted.

He let out the smallest laugh, hands rubbing up and down your arms "It's the fear after night out, it will pass" he nudged your nose with his.

"Never had the fear this bad before" you groaned, dropping your face to his shoulder.

"Never been in the spotlight as much love" he kissed your neck "let's spend the day on the sofa, phones off yeah?" "Please" you mumbled against his shoulder, feeling like you were ready to hide away for the next year.

We have just received word about the death of Ted “Kingsize” Taylor. A contemporary and rival of the Beatles in their Liverpool days, Taylor and his band played the Cavern Club and found themselves an appreciative audience in Germany, where they also released records. Prior to their Hamburg debut, Cilla Black often guested on vocals with Taylor and his band.

Nicknamed because of his size, the 6.5 ft (2.0 m) Kingsize was born Edward William Taylor, on the 12th of November 1939, in Crosby, Liverpool. The Dominoes were originally formed in North Liverpool, in 1957, from a skiffle group called the Sinners. The original members were Arthur Baker (vocals), George Watson (guitar), Charlie Flynn (guitar), Sam Hardie (piano) and Cliff Roberts (drums). The following year, Ted Taylor joined, as lead vocalist and guitarist. Over the next few years Baker, Watson and Flynn all left the group, to be replaced by Bobby Thompson (bass and vocals) – with whom Taylor had played in another skiffle group, the James Boys – and John Kennedy (rhythm guitar), with Geoff Bethell standing in for Hardie on piano.

The band played local clubs and Taylor developed a reputation as one of the best rock and roll singers in the Liverpool area, as well as becoming known for his vivid chequered jackets. By summer 1960, the group were being billed as Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes. They first performed at The Cavern Club in January 1961, when they featured 17-year-old singer Cilla White, who was mistakenly renamed Cilla Black later that year by Bill Harry in an article in his magazine Mersey Beat.

Soon after that appearance, Kennedy and Roberts left the band to join another group, Ian and the Zodiacs, and were replaced by John Frankland (rhythm guitar) and Dave Lovelady (drums). At the beginning of 1962, the band were placed sixth in a Mersey Beat readers’ poll, topped by The Beatles. Cilla Black sang regularly with the group until 1962.

In early 1962, Ken Shalliker replaced Thompson on bass for several months when Thompson temporarily joined Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. That summer, the band (without Cilla Black) went to Hamburg, where they began making regular appearances at the Star-Club. Lovelady left later in the year, and was replaced briefly by Brian Redman and then by Gibson Kemp, after Ringo Starr turned down the opportunity to join having been offered more money to join The Beatles.

The Other Harmon P30 We’re In Trouble

TV SHOW: THE QUEENS GAMBIT COUPLE: BENNY X READER RATING: SHOCKING

I wondered around the hotel keeping an eye on this and that playing with the skirt of my dress as I walked but I stopped short as I noticed something chess review. I had always kept an eye on it in case beth or benny turned up in it as the two of them often did, But my eyes caught something I didn't imagine behind the picture of some chess master on the cover a headline title. I picked the magazine from the rack reading the headlines

"Interview with masters-

New waves in Russia-

King laying and its precedence-"

Reading the other headlines on the cover until I saw

"Benny Watts and Y/n Harmon, Rumors Spiral" I froze my heart beating out of my chest turning to the page it was on seeing the words cut in around Photos...

me and benny, at tournaments and championships, Him kissing my hand at the win in Austin, Him with his arm around me in Vegas, Us walking in from a day out on our Austin trip. and most worryingly A Photo snapped on the plane from Austin to New york me fast asleep on his shoulder him pressing a kiss to my head I began reading parts of the article and I felt my soul leave my body almost.

"Often assumptions where being made about beth Harmon and Benny watts but it seems the reality is his interest in his younger Less talented sister Y/n, The two-spotted together at tournaments often between rounds and once the day is finished..." I read "...However, the rumours spiralled following the recent southern championship in Autin as the two seemed incredibly close spending the majority of there time joined at the hip even outside of the tournament going out into Austin together days before, getting dinner and shopping..." I read "The Kiss instead of a handshake shook the chess world and the media rumours..." I read "This reporter personally investigated this on the last day of the Southen Tournament and discovered thanks to a very helpful Receptionist that Benny Watts and Y/n Harmon were in fact sharing a kingsized room with one king-sized double bed for the duration of there trip which in fact lasted more than a week before the start of the championship and quote 'Took dinner in there room most nights' as well as this the receptionist informed me the room was booked this way for both Benny watts and Y/n Harmon in Mr Watt's name and he Qutoe 'Asked specifically for the double bed' for him and Y/n, as well as the room next to there's room 286 had made complains that same week about hearing qutoe 'Suggestive Male groaning noises' from the room during evenings, and a very helpful room service operative comfimed they where both in room 285 of evenings and where sharing the bed, and too had heard the complaint about the noise as well as quote 'hearing it myself some evenings when I was passing by the door to the room' ..." I read "could this be a Secret relationship at the top of the chess world and could this lead to an interesting Harmon a Watts team." I read but the last sentence of the article made me feel like I was going to faint

'Or perhaps even a future Harmon and Watts Chess champion Child.'

"Ohh fuck!" I said paying the hotel shop person for the magazine and running as fast as my feet could carry me in my little shoes over to the table benny was playing at, it just so happened he was finishing up shaking his hand media was around him a lot in fact a lot of people were, and most of them saw me arrive as benny got up and spotted me seeing how stressed I was "Uhhhhh Mr Watts A word... Please, Now" I said as hushed and hurried as I could without drawing too much attention to myself

"what's wrong?" he asked coming away with me but I knew people were following us

"We're in trouble"

"How so?"

"Look at this in Chess review," I said as we got sat in the bar and I showed him the magazine

"what the fuck! where did they get these pictures? a helpful receptionist? Ohh fuck" he sighed as he read

"They think we're fucking"

"We are fucking..."

"Yes but I didn't want them to know that... more importantly, I think beth has seen this"

"why- Ohh she did say she needed to talk to us... and she looked pissed"

"We are dead"

"yeah... I think we might be"
