Oh my gosh! We've reached 18 chapters! I want to thank you for your reviews and support throughout this story. You guys rock like, we rock! Haha, see what I did there? Anyways, some of your reviewed/messaged me that you want the heart-felt talk between Naitlyn in this chapter. So I've thought about it, I asked my friend who came over and well I decided I will do it in this chapter. Hope you like! Oh and the interview with H.T is also this chapter. Enjoy...!
Today is the 4th of January. The girls and I were on our way to the Hot Tunes studio in our private limo. I was reading a book whilst Mara was strumming aimlessly on her guitar and Mitchie was texting her big sister. A tap came through the little window separating passengers from driver.
"Ladies? You've arrived." He came out and opened the door and peeked in. "Your security guard is here. There's loads of paps and fans." He explained. We all nodded. Mara put her guitar in it's case and strapped it on her shoulder. I went out first, the girls following after. There were loads of screams and 'OMG!'s. The paparazzo screamed our names, trying to get our attension to take pictures.
When we were safely inside, Jessica Bonne greeted us. "Oh my gosh! You guys are pretty up close! I am Jessica Bonne, and it's awesome to meet you!" We all shook hands. Jessica was a 23 year old who's father owned Hot Tunes. She has been presenting ever since age 17.
"Nice to meet you too. And thank you." We all said, shaking her hand.
"Right, each of you have your own dressing room with your names on. We've contacted your stylists and makeup people. We'll be on in half an hour." She smiled, gesturing to our rooms. We thanked her and left for the rooms. When I got into mine I saw my dear stylist/makeup artist, Pierre. Pierre Baptiste was a French man who was in his forties but had a wicked sense of fashion. He's been branded Number 3 Top Stylist of the year, three years in a row. Now he's Number 1. He also has been serving me for 10 years. Ever since my mother wanted to take me out into the world.
"Ah! Miss Caitlyn! Come, here." He greeted and handed me an outfit. It was a silky see-through shirt which was cream colored. It had gold chains on the collars. He gave me a cami to wear underneath. He also handed me light blue trousers and gold louboutins.
"Thank you!" We French kissed. I got changed behind the screen and came out. He sat me down on the swirly chair and faced me to the mirror. He did my makeup. I had peach eye shadow, red shiny lip gloss, black mascara and black eyeliner. He styled my hair into a ponytail and the tail was wavy. He gave me a quiff in the front and pressed my cheeks.
"You don't need blush to look good. Natural blush is always good." I smiled when he said this. He always did. "You're beautiful." He said. This triggered something. I needed to talk to Nate. I think I'm ready.
"Thank you. Thank you so much, Pipi." I said. I stood up and hugged him. He looked shocked but accepted it.
"Anytime, mon cherie." He replied. I smiled. "Now go, you're gonna be late." He said, pushing me out the door. I met Jessica, Mitchie and Mara on the other side.
"Babes, you look great." Mara complimented.
"Thank you." I smiled. They knew of my sudden confidence lack.
"You really do, Cait." Mitchie said. I hugged them both and turned to Jessica.
"Shall we?" I asked.
"We shall. Come on girls." She said, turning around and walking on stage. Loads of screams were gone up "Hi! I am Jessica Bonne and here with me today is three girls you love. Come on out, Mitchie Torres, Mazzy P and Caitlyn Wynwood!" She introduced. We went out and cheers erupted. We giggled.
"Hey!" We said. The audience replied with screams and 'I love you!'s.
"So let's start with what you two got Mara for her birthday." Jessica said. Mara grinned widely and sighed.
"First of all, it was the most perfect birthday in the histories of birthdays in my lifetime. And I got a skyscraper filled with neon lights spelling my name and my favorite actor meeting me for the first time. We had fireworks and everything. Best day of my life." Mara said. Mitchie and I grinned at her. We knew the boys were watching and smiling when she said this.
"Wow! That's great. You have awesome friends." Jessica said. Mara nodded and mouthed, 'I do.' to her. We grinned and Jessica moved it along. "So, wedding talk is brought up. Caitlyn...?" Jessica smirked at me.
"Yeah...?" I replied, grinning. I knew where she was going.
"You and Nate Gray of Connect 3. You're gonna tie the knot." She stated the obvious. I nodded. "Congratulations! I am so happy for your guys." She said.
"Thank you. We're really happy and excited." I said. Jessica nodded and smiled. She moved the interview along.
"So, Mitchie, first World Tour. How did you feel? How did it go?" She asked.'
Mitchie sighed, happily before answering, "Fantastic. I went to loads of countries that I'd never been to before in my life. I went to Venice a couple of weeks ago and it was so beautiful there. Sometimes I missed my family and friends a lot but I had my band with me so it was okay most of the time. I took some breaks because I felt I couldn't go on if I didn't see my family," She held mine and Mazz's hands. "and friends of course. And I don't regret taking them because if I didn't, I would have missed Nate proposing to Caitlyn and I would have missed Christmas and the birth of Caitlyn's new niece. So, I had a great time but I'll be resuming the Tour in a couple of weeks." She announced. People cheered and clapped for her speech. She giggled and waved with mine and her hands still held tight together.
"That's beautiful. Everyone, it will be resumed on May 4th and ending in July 29th." Jessica said. Everyone cheered. "Now, one thing that's got everyone questioning. Is Jara back on?" Jessica turned from the audience to Mara.
"Well, I have one answer and only one answer. Yes, Jara reigns the world!" Mara stood up with her hand in the air for emphasis. Everyone screamed and laughed. Mara giggled and sat back down.
"Jara, Jazzy, yeah, they're back on guys! Remember you heard it first on Hot Tunes!" Jessica shouted. "So, shall we wrap this up?" We nodded. "Okay! I have been Jessica Bonne..." She started.
"And I have been Caitlyn Wynwood." I said.
"And I have been Mazzy P." Mara said.
"And I have been Mitchie Torres." Mitchie said.
"And..." Jessica started.
"This has been Hot Tunes, stayed tuned!" We all said. The audience screamed and cheered and what-not. The person behind the camera waved his arm and we all slouched in our chairs.
"Thank you for being here, girls." Jessica said.
"It was our pleasure." I said.
"We're going to do meet and greet if that's alright?" Mitchie asked. Jessica waved her hand and nodded her approval. We got up and walked carefully, due to our heels, down the steps on the platform and up to the audience bars. Our security was near by. We met and greeted for about an hour before we had to go. Since we came in casual clothes, we were allowed to wear the clothes given by our stylists. We grabbed our bags with our other clothes inside and left the building and into our limo. Nate and I were going house hunting today for after we're married. Of course we needed our space now.
...
Nate and I stood outside a black fenced large mansion with an estate agent. Just next to the gate but inside was a little area for the gate person. It had a 7 car garage and 8 bedrooms. 6 in the main house and 2 in the guest house behind. It was the seventh we saw. We didn't agree on anything so we decided that this would be the one we would pick or else it was an apartment.
It had a large swimming pool and garden area. It had a patio as well. The color was white and black. It had a rain shelter as well. The gates were opened and we went in. Gigi, the estate agent, opened the front door. We went through every room. The master bedroom had 4 walk-in wardrobes, two for clothes and two for shoes. It had a grand bathroom. The room's theme was navy blue and silver with gold hobs for the dressing tables.
There was a large white and midnight blue kitchen. There were two living rooms, a game room, a gym, a indoor theater, music studio and a music room. Nate and I fell in love with the house already. The gate out front was even personalizable. We decided it would say 'N&CG'. There were 10 bathrooms in total. I lost count after all the rooms which needed them. Like, gym, theater, in general(2 upstairs, 2 downstairs), guest house, master bedroom and 3 other main house room, music room and game room.
Nate was asked by Gigi if we wanted it and we quickly accepted. It costed over 8 million but who cares? We're rolling in money! Our clothes line, Rain Bow, is doing really well. Mitchie, Mara and I have opened 15 stores all over the country already. We got the house and we could move in at any time we wanted.
We left in Nate's car, feeling happy with ourselves.
...
Mom, Jesse, Nate and I sat down in the dining room, eating Chinese takeout. "So, how was house hunting?" Mom asked.
"We finally agreed on a house." Nate said.
"Oooh! How much and how good?" Jesse asked.
"8 million, absolutely good. You'll see it soon." I said. Jesse grinned and ate more food.
"Wow, eight million?" Mom asked. Nate and I nodded. "For your first house?" She asked.
"Yeah, the best for my Tiger." I giggled. "And it has 8 bedrooms so everyone can have a huge sleepover at ours." Nate said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and hit him. We all laughed and finished dinner.
Mom and Jesse cleaned up while Nate and I went to my bedroom.
"You alright?" Nate asked, lying down. I nodded.
"I think I'm ready to talk now." I said. Nate sat up and leaned against the headboard.
"Took you two days?" Nate joked. I smiled and hit him.
"Yeah. Everyone says I should tell you." I paused. "On Mara's birthday, I had a nightmare." I started.
"I thought they were gone." Nate said.
"Me too. Babe, I don't think I've gotten 'closure' on Jacob. The nightmare was about him." I said. Nate's defense ball came up and he scooted closer and put an arm around me.
"Go on. Don't worry, he won't hurt you as long as I'm alive." I smiled and kissed him. "And I plan on being alive for a very long time." He grinned. I hit him and laughed. I went back to serious.
"In the nightmare, Jacob...he raped me. And to be honest, it wasn't really a dream. It actually happened nearly four years ago." I said. Nate's grip tightened on me and I saw his jaws clench.
"I should have been there for you." He kissed my head.
"It's not your fault. I've forgiven Mom. I don't think I should forgive him. Just, talk it out and leave it there." I explained. Nate nodded, agreeing. "That's why I've invited him over next month." Now Nate pushed back.
"Are you crazy? Why would you bring that asshole into your haven?" He asked. I shrugged. "Don't shrug. He hurt you. At least have the decency to do it at his house." Nate said.
"It's final, I've made the arrangement. All you have to do is be there for me, Nate! I want to show him that I'm trying to move on." I said.
"Well you can 'move on' in other ways." He argued.
"Hey, I'm the one who's been abused, not you! I can make my own decisions, Nate!" I said.
"But I'm supposed to be protecting you, Caitlyn!" I winced, he never called me that unless he was mad. He noticed and sighed. "I'm sorry. It's just...If you bring him here, he'll know where your family lives, where you live. He could may as well start stalking you." He wrapped an arm around me and kissed my head. I nodded.
"You're right. I'm so sorry, babe. I didn't think of that." I kissed him gently and we nuzzled our noses. "I made a song about it." I said, pulling back. I got the sheet of paper from three days ago and sang to Nate. He smiled, gently throughout.
"I love you, you know that?" He asked, kissing my head.
"Yeah, I know. I love you too." I kissed him.
"You're beautiful you know that, Beautiful?" I giggled.
"Yeah, I know that." I kissed him again and smiled, softly. "I trust you, I believe you." I whispered, our foreheads touching. He kissed me again and we stayed like that for a couple of minutes. "Hey, Nate? Did you recommend Anna Whitehall to my mother?" I asked.
Busted. "You caught me red-handed. You gotta admit, she's great." He confessed.
"Yeah she really is." I smiled and kissed him.
That's that chapter! Hope you enjoyed!
