• She had been right in her assumption of what he was up to - he had spent the last hour or so keeping Melody company in the quiet store, then she had taken her break and they had headed down for some food, and she had walked him over to the salon and they were saying goodbye when Emily finished up. The touches exchanged were far more flirtacious and far less intimate than she had seen from him before, and he pressed only a brief kiss to her neck before sending her on her way, and then turning to head inside to find her - spotting her quickly. "Hey, look at you." He broke a grin and took her hand to spin her around slowly. "You look great." (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 9:00pm PST

• She smiled slightly at Melody while she pondered over what a complete flirt slash man whore he really was before he approached and she flashed a smile - her expression much less polished and her dimples just screamed 'cute' which she despised. She spun for him though and smiled up at him as she let out a soft breath. "I am so nervous, I just know my voice is goin' to crack when I get up there and sing, I just know it. Either that or I'll miss a note or go flat or forget the words." her eyes widened at that and mouth dropped open. "Oh gosh, Ethan, what if I forget the words?" She bit the corner of her lip as she swallowed and looked to the clock, one hour and counting and she needed to be there a half hour early to get soundcheck going and such. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 9:08pm PST

• He laughed gently, hands moving to her shoulders as his head ducked a little to meet her gaze squarely. "Hey, look. You are not going to forget the words, or go flat, or miss a note. Your voice will not crack. You're going to be just fine." He winked and gave her arms a reassuring squeeze before his fingers brushed slowly down to her wrists and then he drew back to start leading the way out. "C'mon babe."

• She sighed softly as she went over all the things that could possibly go wrong as she followed him out into the hallway. "I know I am going to say something that ain't right, I just know it..." She ran her hand down her hair anxiously before she just followed him silently, her brow furrowed. She didn't even know what song she wanted to sing. "I ain't sang in front of no one who wasn't drunk for ... well I ain't never sang in front of anyone who wasn't drunk." She'd been playin' in bars since she was nearly fifteen years old... (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 9:23pm PST

• "You're going to be fine." He assured her once more, firmly, and guided her quietly out to his car - not rushing, but definitely wanting to get her there in plenty of time. Personally, he hated to be rushed more than anything - he was the type of guy who liked to take his time, and when he didn't have time to take, he got miserably grumpy with things.. (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 9:34pm PST

• She got into the car and let him close the door for her - silent on the way there. Once they got to the huge high rise tower she got out, stepping out and looking up at the tower. She took it all in before she turned, nearly bumping into his chest before she shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck - she needed some reassurance here. "I can't do this." She stated, shaking her head against his neck. If Trent was here she would be hugging him, but since Ethan was here, he would to. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 9:39pm PST

  ---

• "Uh..." He cleared his throat in soft surprise before wrapping his arms slowly around her waist and giving her a gentle squeeze, then drawing back to look at her - hands moving to her arms. "You can, and you're going to, Emily. You'll be fine." He gave her one final squeeze before turning her around and pointing her in the direction of the building. "Now, go." (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 10:08pm PST

  ---

• She sighed before she pursed her lips, looking back at him - her brow furrowed. "Are...are you just going to come back later to pick me up?" she questioned, shifting her weight a little anxiously before she played her hand over her stomache again, idely, before she shoved her fingers into her pockets. Her nervousness was shown on her face as she looked back to the towers - the talent scout had seen her at a bar not to long ago and set up this appointment to get to know her a bit more but this really could make her or break her. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 10:14pm PST

• "Yeah, I'll be back in like an hour... If you're not done yet, I'll just wait out here." He promised her an uncharacteristically kind smile and then leaned down to press a warm, lingered kiss to her lips before shooing her on her way. "Go, Em. Get yourself all set up and settled, and don't worry about talking too much, or being too cute. You look great, you'll sound great, and you'll charm the pants off them..." He paused at that and laughed a little. "Figuratively, of course, 'cause I know you don't want to be charming the pants off anyone for real.." (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 10:38pm PST

• Her hand raised to where he had kissed her cheek before she paused for just another second. -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 10:49pm PST
  • "I don't doubt it." He assured her with a small smile and a wink, then nodded, and watched as his 'project' headed off. Once she disappeared, he ducked back in to his car and sped off somewhere to get some lunch and waste some time while she was in there. He was back though by the time she made her way in to the lobby, and was chatting with the young'ish receptionist - well, actually, she was chatting at him about her children - but looked back and excused himself when he saw her, a brow cocking questioningly.

• She went to him immediatly - as hard as it was for her to admit - he was so reassuring for her sometimes. It was ironic really, because he could be the cause of so much self doubt within her but he could also be such a reassuring presence when she needed him to be. A hand went to his arm to squeeze lightly before she just pursed her lips once more. "I sang in a studio, a real honest to goodness studio and then they talked to me for a bit about like, my family and where I am from, what it was like when I was a kid and stuff...then they sent me down here to wait and they said to hang out for a bit and they would page me when they were ready for me to come back." (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:06pm PST

• He smiled at her words - the more time he spent with her, the more charming, and the less just a hillbilly, he found her to be - and then guided her across the foyer to sit in the chairs there. "Wow... Sounds great. How do you feel about it?" Looking and sounding like she did, he really didn't see how it could have gone anything but awesome - but he also knew that they wouldn't really know until she officially heard. (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:12pm PST

  ---

• She let out a soft breath, shrugging her shoulders, sinking down into a chair before she looked at him. "You know, I have no idea, I don't even remember much of what I said. I was so hungry I kept lookin' at the snickers bar in the one guys pocket and practically drooling over it." She smirked, shaking her head. "I am the only person I know who could be thinking about food at a time like this." She swept off her black womens stetson and ran her hand down through her hair, shaking it out. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:14pm PST

  ---

• He laughed softly and shook his head a little, fingers running slowly through his hair. "I'll get you something to eat after this. We'll either go somewhere, or pick something up and go back to my place... And I'm sure that you did great, Emily..." He assured her - it sounded easy to say, but it was the fact that he truly meant it that mattered the most. He honestly believed that she had to have been great - whether they had good news for her or not. (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:22pm PST

• She was about to say something, her mouth opening and then sharply snapping shut as her name was called over the pager system - breaking into the music that was playing, all of the record companies artists on display - causing her to stand up and send him a nervous smile. "Well, here goes nothing." She commented, lingering by him for just a moment. He was so strong and confident, she was sure if their places were switched, he wouldn't be at all nervous. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:26pm PST

  ---

• He pinched the back of her thigh as she stood infront of him, before winking and sending her on her way, slouching back in to his chair to wait patiently for her. Sure, he seemed to be all confidence, yet he had never really put himself out there for something so important as he was doing now. Head resting back against the wall, his fingers linked over his stomach and his eyes slid lightly shut... (NT) -- Etha, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:32pm PST

• It was another half an hour beforeshe stepped out of the elevator, a bright smile on her face as she nearly jogged to him, throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly as she spoke. "We did it! We did it Ethan, they want to sign me!!!!" She exclaimed, holding onto him tightly as she nearly squealed in excitement. "They really liked me! I mean, they really did and they want me to be on their label and...and...thank you so much!!!" She hugged him tighter, nearly breathless and overwhelmed with excitement. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:37pm PST

  ---

• "You did this, Emily.." He corrected her with a small grin as he just sighed in quiet contentment as his arms wrapped slowly, but tightly around her. "Of course they liked you. I knew that you could do this, Em..." His fingers twisted in to her shirt at her sides as he held her close, a warm grin lighting his features - he was genuinely so happy for her. "This is awesome, baby... Congrats." (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:47pm PST

  ---

• She rested her head on his shoulder, letting out a soft breath. "But I couldn't have done it without you..." She stated as she looked up, her bright eyes shining. From her small height she fit perfectly beneath his chin and it made it so that she had to lean up to press a warm, lingering kiss to his cheek - the first time she had kissed him in anyway at all. "I am so glad you were here with me...." She murmured softly, her arms tightening around his neck. "I can't think of anyone else I would want here with me now." She smiled adoringly at him, her lips brushing his cheek again. (NT) -- Emily, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:54pm PST

  ---

• "You would have... It just might have taken you a little longer..." One eyelid dropped in a wink and his smile widened in to a grin at her kisses - as innocent as they were. His dark gaze flitted between her lips and her eyes for a few moments before he cleared his throat and stepped gently back, hands slipping down her arms and then squeezing her fingers gently. "I'm glad I'm here too.... Let's go get some food, Em.." (NT) -- Ethan, Mon, Nov 08 2004, 11:59pm PST

  ---

• She smiled adoringly, her arm entwining in his as they walked towards the door. "Are we going to go out or just pick something up and go back to your place?" She questioned, her fingers idely running over his forearm as they walked. It was kind of surprising to her how badly she had just wanted to kiss him. With a smile, she brushed it off as just being grateful. "I leave in a week to go to some voice training place to just sharpen up some things I guess and they want to look at my songs and then start trying to get my name out there...." She grinned again almost in disbelief as they made their way to the car and she paused, waiting for him unlock it. "Curb Records...do you know who's on this label? Tim McGraw, Faith Hill...Alan Jackson...the big names..." (NT) -- Emily, Tue, Nov 09 2004, 12:10am PST

  ---

• "Yeah, we'll just pick something up..." His hand slipped down her back as he pulled open the door for her and then dropped down in to the driver's seat, shaking his head - in disbelief that things were actually gonig to right, though never once had he doubted her ability. "Emily Roberts..." He teased affectionately and winked as he started the engine and they headed off... (NT) -- Ethan, Tue, Nov 09 2004, 12:13am PST
