Two weeks later Grace was in New York City. She had a tour date there at Madison Square Garden tonight. It was early in the morning. She had to do a radio interview with Dice at the radio station. She'd just gotten there and went to his booth. Commercials were airing when she came in.

"Hey Gracie." He said smiling.

"Hi Dice." She said. They hugged. She sat down

"Go ahead and get on your Twitter." "We're back in thirty seconds." She took out her phone and got on her Twitter. "Five seconds." "And we're back." "I'm Dice Lucky Seven and later I'm going to be giving away two front row tickets to Silk's sold out concert tonight." "Right now I have the woman herself in the house the multiplatinum artist, the beautiful Silk." "Welcome Silk."

"Thank you Dice." "It's great to be here."

"Right now Silk is going to answer some fan questions which were submitted yesterday under the hashtag AskSilk." "Silk if you would start us off with the first question."

"Sure." "The first question says." "What is your favorite dessert?""Well I'd have to go with chocolate pie." The next question says. "Who are some people you look up to?" "Some of my music inspirations are Pink, Shania Twain, The Goo Goo Dolls, The Backstreet Boys, N'Sync " "Let's move onto the next question. "What was the name of your first love?" "My first love was a man named Andrew." Dice smiled

"Was he good looking?"

"He was." "Ok next question." "Are you and John Cena a couple?" "No we are not." "We're just friends." "I know some people saw that video of us coming out of dinner thanks to TMZ." "It was nothing but a platonic, friendly dinner." "After which if you noticed he went his way and I went mine." She answered a few more questions. "Thank you to everyone who submitted questions." "If I didn't get to your question I apologize." "For those of you coming to the show tonight, we're gonna have a great time."

"Silk it's been a pleasure." "Thanks for being on the show."

"No problem."

"After this short break I'll be back with more tunes and the giveaway for two tickets to Slik's concert." He pressed the button to start the commercials. They stood up. "You did great Gracie." "It's been a long time since you called me Andrew." He said smiling.

"I'll see you later." She left.

Later that night Grace had just finished her concert. She was in her dressing room. There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." She said. Dice walked in.

"Great show tonight."

"Dice?" She said surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Did you honestly think I wouldn't show up?" "This is where you had your very first show." "I was back here with you that night."

"I remember."

"Wanna get a drink?"

"It's tempting, but no."

"No?" He said surprised. "Come on, please sugar plum."

"No." "It's time we stop doing this, for good."

"Oh, I get it." "This is about him."

"Him?" She said confused. "Him who?"

"John." "Are you in love with him?"

"No." "Don't be ridiculous."

"Yes you are."

"No I am not." "He's my friend."

"He doesn't love you Gracie." "He'll never be over that airhead bimbo with the fake rack." "Whatever her name is."

"It has nothing to do with John." "I just don't want to be used by you anymore."

"You think I use you?" "Gracie, I love you."

"Boy, you must really want to get me in bed."

"No, I love you sugar plum."

"So why did you break up with me?"

"I was hurt, I was angry."

"Dice leave."

"Ok." He opened the door and turned around. "I know you'll eventually come back to me." "You can't change." "I'll be waiting for you." He left.

Grace went back to the hotel. She was about to go to bed but wanted to call John first. She pushed the speed dial button for his number.

"Hello?" He said.

"Hi." She said happily.

"You sound happy."

"I am." "I'm so proud of myself." "I resisted Dice."

"You did?"

"Yeah." "He came to my concert and came to my dressing room when it was over." "He asked me if I wanted to go have a drink." "I said no knowing where it would go and told him to leave." "I don't know where I got the inner strength to do it but I feel so good." "I feel like I'm finally free of him."

"That's great." "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks." "I just wanted to tell you that " "I'm going to bed now." "I'll call you tomorrow."

"Ok."

"Bye."

"Bye." They hung up. John smiled.
