Falling Down(96)

That brings a few chuckles.
"That was the last time I saw Jesse until the first day on set and in all honesty I was surprised. No one told us who we were going to be doing the video for, only that it was a big name band. And suddenly there was Jesse Kingston."
"Okay, hold up," Jesse interrupts. "I've got to tell them the whole story or they'll be upset if they hear it somewhere else."
I roll my eyes. "By all means," I gesture to the microphone.
"The band and I were prepped for the video, we'd gone over everything with Cage, and because we were so rushed that week, we didn't think to ask who the actress slash dancers were. It was rumored to be Lucy and Sera but we didn't know for sure. Not a big deal. We get along with chicks, right guys?" Jesse prompts the guys who all make leering faces and obscene noises.
"When we walked to the central part of the building where Cage had multiple sets worked up, we heard drums, guitar, and a voice that stopped us in our tracks. Okay, not right away because we were a little pissed that someone had the nerve to touch our equipment. Musicians are temperamental about sh--stuff like that. But the minute they started the next song, a ballad from a popular band," Jesse shakes his head. "we were stunned. When we finally moved forward, I turned the corner and was knocked on my ass. There was Luciana Russo sitting on a stool in front of a microphone, strumming my acoustic guitar, eyes closed, singing her soul out. We all just looked at each other, then over to Sera whaling on the drums like a pro, and that's when we decided to join in. Ben picked up his guitar and I stepped up to the mic. I've got to laugh here," and he does. "You should have seen the look on Lucy's face when she saw us. I thought she was going to either pass out or run away but she did neither. She finished the song with us and then she freaked out."
That brings about a bunch of laughs. "She hands me back my guitar and apologizes for touching my 'precious'. I knew who she was and she seemed kind of shocked about that. I'm not sure why. I mean she's a fu--freaking academy award winning actress, right?"
"Jesse," I say with a blush.
"Anyway, we did the video and we had a good time, even if Lucy did insist on keeping it professional while we worked together."
"No matter how hard you tried to make it otherwise," I add with a grin.
I point to the next reporter. "Then you're not joining up with Falling Down?"
"Nope. We've re-formed Blush."
I point to another reporter. "Is it true you're living with Jesse?"
"I'm not comfortable commenting on the intimate details of our relationship until we figure them out for ourselves."
I point to the next reporter. "What's going to happen when Falling Down goes out on tour in a couple months? It's common knowledge that Jesse enjoys groupies."
I raise a brow. "You know, that's a great question and one I don't have an answer to. We actually just talked about this last night, right Jesse?"
He nods.
"I guess all I can say is when we know, you'll know. Hell, you might know before we do," I say with a wink to my fave reporter. I love Margo Phelan.
More questions about Jesse and I, ones that require answers about the intimate details I won't answer so I give them the same answer that I've made my standard. "I'm not comfortable commenting on the intimate details of our relationship until we figure them out for ourselves."
"Last question, Dave," I say to one of my favorite reporters.
"Have you considered having Blush and Falling Down tour together?"
I heart drops into my stomach and I laugh. "While that would be an incredible opportunity for our band, we're nowhere near the caliber of Falling Down. No-name bands don't usually end up out on tour with big named ones like Falling Down."
