Jordon wraps his arm tightly around my waist, and we make our way towards the entrance trying to ignore the flashes and beeps of the digital cameras that are going off around us.
We’re surrounded by press shouting a million questions at us as we make our way inside. Ever since we confirmed our relationship, it’s been insane. I don’t know how many shots they can take of us walking down the street and still find it interesting and front page newsworthy.
Upon entering the radio studio, we notice they have our bar stools scattered around one end of the large table full of mics. The DJ introduced himself then led us over to the end of the studio and told us to sit anywhere we wanted. It’s going to be a group interview over the next hour, so it doesn’t matter who sits where.
After we finish the interview, Beyond Redemption will play an acoustic version of Falling Into Darkness, followed by Tempting Tomorrow performing their newest single, Goodbye Chicago. It’s been climbing the charts over the last few weeks, and the popularity for the song is spreading like wildfire.
From what Jordon has told me, Zane and Jordon co-wrote it together last summer just before they left on their first tour. So far their debut album, that was released last November, has already hit gold and is getting close to platinum status. It’ll be a huge milestone for Jordon and his bandmates.
As soon as our asses hit our seats the interview began. We spend the next thirty minutes answering questions about the tour and if any of us have done any crazy pranks on any of the other members in the bands.
“In the next ten minutes our listeners will hear Beyond Redemption’s number one hit from two years ago, Misery and when you do, be caller twelve to win two front row tickets and backstage passes. Until then we’re chatting with Beyond Redemption and Tempting Tomorrow.”
I’ve been waiting the entire interview for them to ask me or Jordon about our relationship. Thirty minutes into it, it’s finally asked.
The DJ known as Wild Willy, turns his eyes towards me while keeping his mouth pressed to the mic.
“I know all our listeners are dying to know, Brittan, what’s it like dating Jordon? I think it’s safe to say pretty much every woman in America wishes they were dating one of the most eligible Rock Stars of 2014.” He slides his gaze from me to Jordon laughing, as he mentions the thousands of women who fill the arenas each week, screaming out to Jordon to marry them. “Your fans wanna know.”
Jordon lets out a deep husky laugh, and he rakes his fingers through his hair. He’s nervous, and I find it hilarious because he is always Mr. Cool-Calm-and-Collected.
Leaning forward on my elbows, I bring my mic to my mouth and give Jordon a playful glance before answering. “Well, I don’t blame all those women for wanting to be with him. Jordon has to be the most charismatic man I’ve ever met. He constantly keeps me on my toes and has made this tour the most memorable. We’ve had so much fun touring together. I never expected us to go from friends to a relationship, but I can certainly say this is the happiest I’ve been in a very long time.”
Jordon affectionately rubs my back while I talk, helping keep my nerves at bay. I can answer any question they throw at me during these interviews but whenever I have to talk about Jordon and our relationship, it’s hard to keep myself from becoming emotional.
Sitting up, I turn and run my hand down the side of Jordon’s face, before giving him a quick kiss, which causes the studio to erupt in cat calls.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we just witnessed a live and in person Brittan and Jordon kiss! Whew, I think the temperature just skyrocketed in here.” Wild Willy jokes while he plays cat calls and kissing sounds for the listening fans.
We all have a good laugh before we get back to business.
“I’m the luckiest guy on the damn planet because I get to kiss her every single day.” Jordon says as the laughter dies down.
“Hell, I’d give my right arm to be you for twenty-four hours. Brittan is a fine catch. I think every guy listening right now would say the same!”
Laughing, Jordon snakes his arm around my waist, hugging me against his side, “I can’t argue with you there.”
After answering some more questions, we gave away the tickets and performed our songs. Just as we were wrapping up, DJ Wild Willy told us all he just got news that he thought we’d all love to hear.
“Tempting Tomorrow’s latest single just hit number one on Billboards Top 100 actually knocking Beyond Redemption to number two!”
The entire room explodes with excitement as everyone starts screaming and hugging each other.
This is amazing. I couldn’t be happier for Jordon right now and for them to hit number one while being back in their hometown. It makes this moment that much more special.
