Second chances Book 5/6

Chapter 29

Four months later

Cameron left to join Uma in Houston, to live with her while she did her internship at NASA. With the help of Tilly and Abigail, financially supported by Kate, she will open a restaurant, and a franchise of Mom's, to thank Tara, but especially because she likes the concept of Tara's Food Truck.

Kate has been living with Kris for a month on her new ranch, much to the delight of Gibson who shares her home with a new friend, Fender.

The ranch had been purchased as soon as Kate told the girls about it, but she didn't move in immediately, planning the tour for her return. Sitting at the kitchen table with Kris, Tilly and Abigail, she dug into her repertoire, to select the best of the best from Kate, her songs and the style that would affect the stage and the places and halls where the concerts will take place. Kate improvised flashes appearances, performing on the beach, in front of Abigail's shop, in the parking lot of the girls' restaurant, on the set of On the Hedges, blowing up the ratings. She arrived, put down her amp, her guitar and played, sometimes alternating with an electronic piano. Kate strolled and played, for her own pleasure, before signing autographs and leaving. Her concept established, she went to see her producer, gave her plan, her schedule. He would easily get his money back and he signed the contract. Kris immediately got to work. If the concert halls Kate wanted were taken, she only had to remind them that it was Kate, not some ordinary singer from star academy. Her name alone ensured the sales of all tickets within minutes. Venue owners always found a way to accommodate Kris. Kate went on a few shows, sang duets and promoted herself, announcing her next tour, that the dates weren't set in stone yet, but it was approaching, however revealing that her tour would start on July 4 at SoFi Stadium, and would take her to Monterrey in Mexico and Montreal in Quebec. While having fun, fans noticed, over the announcements, that KATE could be written on a map of America through her shows.

On her official media, Kate was already announcing her European tour, targeting only the stadiums as well as her "Far far away" stopover as she announced, with shows at the Tokyo Dome, the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, the Malthouse in Melbourne in Australia and Eden Park in Aukland, New Zealand.

With a few months ahead of her, she asked Bethany to help her with her physical and mental preparation, wanting to be in top form. She didn't hesitate for a moment. Kris worked, watching Kate practice and meditate, the more she looked at her, the more she longed to find her in bed at night, sometimes gesticulating in her chair uncomfortably, making Kara smile.

"Ask her," she said one afternoon, slowly approaching.

"Ask her what?" she asked, innocently, knowing full well what she was talking about.

— Kate won't, she's focused on her world tour, her training, it's up to you to take charge, unless your couple suits you as is. Look Bethany and I, Bethany proposed, Tilly proposed to Abby. They are the strong women of our couples. It's your turn, Kris. She won't reject you, Kate is in love, I see it in her eyes, in her smiles. If you wait until after the tour, you'll wait another year. We are all with you, you know that.

— It scares me, my family is not very... open.

— Your family it's us. We, Kristina. We were there for you when you were at your lowest, us. As Kate is family, you are, you know it. We will always be behind you, you will always have one of us to help you when you need it. Are you afraid to show yourself publicly?

— I do not care, it's for Kate.

— But Kate is Kate. Her fans aren't going to turn away from her because she's a lesbian. Kate is going to make so much money with her tour, you just have to let yourself live, she doesn't need that. Abby wouldn't have been looking for her, she would still be on her ranch, with her horse sleeping in the fields.
