So I Married A Rockstar - Season 2

Ch. 35: The Trouble With Groupies

Lily called me two days later.

"Okay, I've been doing some digging into whoever might have leaked your name to the press, and I've come across a couple of possibilities," she said.

"Wait, what?" I put her on speaker and beckoned Finn over.

He came from the kitchen, a bag of tortilla chips in one hand, and plopped onto the sofa beside me.

"If Izzy wasn't behind it then I want to know who the fuck is it, and I bet you guys do too," Lily said.

Finn's expression darkened. "You could say that."

"Have you guys been keeping on top of all the gossip?" Lily asked.

"Absolutely not," I said.

"I won't go into the gory details then, but you won't be surprised that people are still talking about this." Lily's voice turned derisive. "The rumour about the love triangle between you, Finn, and Penny is proving to be pretty popular."

"Don't people think that if we were in a love triangle, Penny wouldn't have posted about being confused by all this?" I said.

"Well, she has posted more about it recently," Lily said.

I started to ask what Penny had said, then decided I didn't want to know. Not yet anyway. Whatever it was, it would likely have whipped her fans up even more, and I wasn't in the mood for more insults and death threats.

"Anyway, there have been a slew of articles about this the last couple of days," Lily said.

"Is Izzy Rollins associated with any of them?" Finn asked.

"Not that I've found."

Finn grinned and pointed a chip at me. "Looks like your threat worked."

"Wait, what threat?" Lily asked.

"I'll explain later," I said. "Tell me about the names you found."

"They were named as sources a couple of times, but I want to warn you that we're talking real tabloid trash here, so I don't know how accurate their information is," Lily said.

"Tell us," Finn said.

"Tanya Harding and Shellie Lewis," Lily said. "Do either of those names mean anything to you?"

Finn shook his head, frowning, but I paused, something sparking in my head.

"Say that first one again," I said.

"Tanya Harding," Lily repeated. "You recognise it?"

"I'm not sure."

"Finn?" Lily asked, and I found a moment to marvel at how easily she spoke to him, as if he was just any old guy and not Finn fucking Donovan.

"Nope," he said, dropping a tortilla chip into his mouth.

"Wait," I said, grabbing Finn's arm and making him drop his next chip. "Tanya, not Tina."

He stared blankly at me.

"Cole's groupie," I said, impatiently gesticulating. "He called her Tina, but she said her name was Tanya, remember?"

Finn's expression cleared. "You're right. But how the fuck would she know about you?"

I was still missing something obvious, but I couldn't think.

"Okay, I'm going to call Jude and find out if that's the same woman," Finn said. He climbed off the sofa and moved towards the kitchen.

"I'll talk to you later, Lily," I said. "And thanks."
