Selena and I…Well, I know you know what Selena and I are…Do you think we’ll last a long time? Do you think one day I’ll wake up and like her again ? Do you think what we’re doing is wrong?”
“Sir, I—”
“We’re off the record, Joan. Don’t call me sir. Call me Matt.”
“Well Matt , with all due respect, you don’t pay me enough for psychiatric analyses. And eve n if you did, neither of us would be alive long enough to go through everything that’s wrong with your situation.”
“We are so on the record for forever Joan! For forever!”
I tripped over my shoes and let out more bile.
“Come on Mr. Sterling,” Joan patted my back and led me to a trash can.
When she was sure I was done coughing up my insides, she led me to the elevators and up to my room. She pulled my sheets back and took off my shoes. I rol led over and grabbed my phone.
“I’m going to call People Magazine …Tell them that—”
“I’m taking your phone so y ou won’t do something stupid ,” Joan sighed. “I’ll return it tomorrow mor ning. We’ll need to be up by n ine to prepare for the Ryan Seacrest interview.”
“What do you think about Mel- Melody Carter ? She looked really good tonight. Do you think it’s just a crush? Do you think sh e would go out with me?”
She pulled the sheets over my head . “Goodnight sir.”
“You’re my only friend Joan,” I sighed before everything went black.
As usual, Joan had my f avorite breakfast delivered and hung my outfit for the Ryan Seacrest interview on my bathroom door.
“All of Mr. Seacrest’s questi ons look pretty straightforward sir,” Joan entered my roo m and handed me two Tylenol . “Are there any topics you do not wish to discuss?”
I shook my head. My head was still throbbing from last night and I wanted to get the interview over with as soon as possible.
“ Okay great. After the interview, you’ll ha ve two free hours before we have to head to your dance school.”
“There’s a recital today?”
“No sir . Y ou’re finishing up your Instyle interview . ”
“ I meant what I said about the ‘ sir ’ thing , Joan . It makes it seem like we ’re not cool when you do that… Is there any way we could do the Instyle thing right after Seacrest ? Like, in the same area? ”
“I’ll see what I can do,” she took out her phone and headed for the door.
“Wait, Joan . I wanted to let you know that I’m sorry about last night. I was really unprofessional and—”
“ That was actually one of your better nights ,” she smiled and walked away.
I laugh ed and tossed back the Tylenol.
Ryan Seacrest was sitting on the famous red interview couch when Selena and I arrived to the set.
“Matt Sterling! Selena Ross!” he stood up. “Thank you so much for allowing me to interview you both.”
“Anything for Mr. Se acrest,” Selena gave him a hug.
“Any t ime Ryan,” I shook his hand.
“Go ahead and take your seats Mr. and Mrs. Sterling ,” a producer walked on set and began ordering people around. “Do either of you need anything to drink before we begin?”
“A water for us both please,” Selena put her hand on my lap.
Think of the exposure…Think of the exposure…
“And we’re live in 5…4…3 .. .2, ” a producer tapped on her he adphones and stepped off the stage .
“Good afternoon and welcome to E News! ” Ryan smiled. “ Today is the first day of our New York City special and we have a treat for all of you watching at home! Newly engaged Hollywood stars Selena Ross and Matt Sterl ing are here in our studio and are doing their first joint interview live !”
The cameras panned over to the two of us. Selena held my hand and leaned closer.
“ Let’s start with you, Selena. What was going through your mind when Matt proposed?”
She laughed. “I was just lik e, W ow, you know? I couldn’t believe it. I had no idea he was going to propose or was even thinking about marriage . L ike,
