Two Hearts Collided

Chapter 3: "How did I get this lucky?"

"Please welcome The Band Fudgy!" Jimmy Kimmel cheers. The audience roars.

Marcus and Hannah aren't in our band it's only me, Cody, Alec, Rachel, Lucy, Carter, Ryan, and Ryder. I'm wearing a black strapless skintight dress and a tannish leather jacket and black heels. My hair is curled and I have on a little bit of makeup. All of us go out there and I sit between Carter and Lucy on this long couch. Next to Lucy is Ryan and next to Carter is Rachel who is next to Ryder, who is next to Cody, who is next to Alec.

"How are you guys?"

"Good." Ryan says, shrugging.

"Alright. So I'm going to cut right to the chase because the whole world is talking about this." He points at the giant screen and everyone starts to hoot at the picture of Carter and I, naked in the pool. "First of all, anyone that thought you were having an affair with Ryan is stupid because the love in your eyes is so strong that it chokes me up." I bite my lip. "So...a little frickle frackle? I would ask if you were just swimming but judging by the underside of Roxy's boobs I'm gonna say no."

"And the look of orgasm on their face." Cody says. Everyone bursts out laughing and I resist the urge to flip him off.

"So...I just want to address this. It would feel almost wrong if I didn't." He says. "Why were you in the pool of all places?"

Carter is just smirking at me.

"Well uh...see we just moved there a few months ago and it had been a while and um...I suppose you could say we were..." I look at Carter. He grins, puts his arm around me and looks right at Jimmy.

"We were breaking in the house." He says.

He raises his eyebrows. "That's a large house." He says. "Were you making the process slow-"

"Oh, it was twenty six times in one night." Carter says.

"I'm going to kill you later." I threaten him.

Everyone laughs when he kisses my cheek.

"Roxy, I just wanted to bring something up," Jimmy says. "There's a rumor going around that you've been to jail. Is that true?"

"Uh...yes...three times, actually."

His eyes widen. "But you're so nice! Why?"

"I was a bad kid. I got in fights a lot. I snuck out a lot. I smoked. I drank." I shake my head. "I had no intention on changing and then I met Carter and..." I shrug. "It just happened."

"Wow." He says. "Okay." He says. "Carter, I had a question."

"Ask away." He says.

"Why do you call Roxy, Cinnamon?"

"Her eyes." He says. "The first time I saw her eyes, I thought of Cinnamon. It just stuck, I guess."

"Now, we're here because you guys have two announcements!"

"Yes." Lucy says. "Who's telling it?"

All of us look around the group."

"I'll tell the first." Cody says.

"I'll tell the last." Rachel says.

"And then Roxy sings." Ryder grins.

They love my song. It's okay because I do too. It brings back memories.

"Okay, what's the first one?"

"Our new album, Feelin' Good, is set to be released on September forth."

The audience starts screaming like mad. All of us smile.

When they quiet down. "A month after that, we're going on a world tour. Tickets will go on sale on Friday at noon!"
