The twelve ticket holders met up at the hotel. They enjoyed a quick meal and then headed for the show. During dinner, Maddie passed out the tickets Christine had been given. "What seat do you have, Mitchell? I bet it's next to Maddie's. We should have had a lottery or something to select our seats,” Melissa said. "Actually, Mitchell is sitting between you and me, but I'm sure that Willow will trade with you if you're unhappy with the arrangements," chided Maddie to her sister. "I'm sorry, Maddie. I should have known better. I'll even swap seats with Willow before it's all over so she can sit next to Mitchell for a while, unless Mitchell's taking advantage of my youth and inexperience while everyone's watching the concert," Melissa said. "There's no chance of that," assured Maddie. "He'll be way to busy taking advantage of my age and experience to be sidetracked by a teenager." When they all took their seats, Melissa had to smile when both Hailey and Maddie took one of Mitchell's h

"Hello everyone. The guys have asked me to join them for a few songs. I hope they don't regret it later. This first song for all the pretty women here tonight. But that's enough talk. Let's get back to the music." Mitchell played a few rifts on the guitar, and everyone started smiling and clapping. Soon he was delivering a rousing vocal for 'Pretty Woman.' Hailey, Maddie, and Willow all ran out to dance. Soon they were joined by their parents.The hotel was a bit upscale for college kids. It was used more by parents of students, friends of faculty, and travelers who wanted to stay in a good hotel. Melissa noticed that the few college kids that were there were using their cell phones a lot. A short time later, as Mitchell finished a solid rendition of 'Proud Mary,' more college kids began filtering in.While he had been performing with the band, Mitchell noticed that Hailey, Maddie, and Willow were quite popular with the college age males. They were on the floor for every dance. As h

Mitchell spoke to Christine briefly and then turned to the crowd. "That's it for me tonight, folks. The band was supposed to finish at eleven. Thanks for being so kind toward our efforts and being such a great crowd. Remember this group, 'The Rising Tide' the next time you need a band. They're a great band and a great bunch of guys. "Tomorrow Christine, her sisters, and I Will be doing a promotion for 'Lady in Red' swimsuits and formal wear at JC Penney at the Riverside Mall on Fourth Street. We'd love to see all of you stop in. The profits from this venture go toward a new wing on the local hospital in Highland. I've spent a fair amount of time there lately and they're very good, but short on rooms. We'd appreciate any support you can give us." The crowd began to leave as Mitchell introduced Christine to the members of the band and thanked them for letting him jam with them. They insisted that they should be thanking him. "Where and when did you get so good with the guitar and with

Soon, Melissa and Donna approached Nell with their husbands standing behind them. Mitchell was curious as to what Nell had in mind, so he strolled over to stand near Nell. "I've received a few inquiries about Maddie. A large agency wants her to fly to Chicago for some test shots and interviews. They would like to see her at Maddie's earliest convenience. It's no surprise to any of us here that Maddie would be sought after. I think she should do it if she has any interest in modeling, but that will be a decision for Maddie, and her family, to make,” Nell stated. "That would leave us a bit of light on pretty girls to model the 'Lady in Red' line at these promotions. JCPenney has informed me that they want these kids to travel to several large cities to promote the line and will cover travel expenses and pay them for their time. If Maddie moves up to big-time modeling, we could use Willow to fill in for her with our line." "But Maddie has bigger, bigger, you know top heavy. I won't look

The audience had gone quiet as Jordan and Mitchell sang 'You and I.' Christine and her group stood off to the side and listened as the two sang the duet. Christine couldn't help but wonder how well Mitchell knew the famous Jordan Quick. They sang as if they were in love, and it caused Christine concern. When they finished singing, the crowd erupted into applause and cheers. Dwayne smiled as he joined the couple at the piano. "Now tell me what you think, Jordan. Is he perfect, or what? That was an incredible rendition of that song. You two fit together perfectly." "Okay, he's pretty and he can sing. I'll take a chance on him since you think it'll work. I know you've had a lot of success in the industry, but it still seems funny to have a black man managing a Country singer." Jordan said. "You've got a lot to learn about music, young lady. When you have an ear for music, color makes no difference. You just know what sounds good and what doesn't. I have an ear for tone and pitch. I can

She couldn't wait to call Jason and tell him about her possible new career. Perhaps she'd be traveling to New York and get to visit him at West Point. Then she thought about leaving Mitchell. The thought of being so far from him bothered her more than she cared to admit, even to herself. He was Christine's man. But Maddie knew that he would always be the first man she loved. She just hoped he wouldn't be the only one. Jason was working hard to join that exclusive club. Maddie decided she had better tell Mitchell goodbye that day since she may be too busy to see him again for a long time. When things settled down with Jordan, Maddie drew Mitchell aside during a break in their promotional duties. "Mitchell, I'm going to try this modeling thing. I don't know if it'll work out, but if it does, I may not see very much of you anymore, at least for a while. Promise me that you'll think about me and call and email me as much as you can. Promise to take care of Willow, Hailey, Mom and Christin

Mitchell and Christine exchanged looks as Nell presented her proposal to Jordan. It seemed like they were going to be babysitting a spoiled, addicted, but talented diva. Half an hour later, the five of them were loaded in Christine's car and headed home. "Just a minute, Christine. Pull back off the road," insisted Mitchell as Christine came to a stop. Mitchell climbed out of the SUV and opened the back door. He plucked the cigarette from Jordan's mouth and tossed it down and then ground it with his heel. Then he reached into her pocketbook, yanked a pack of cigarettes out and crushed them in his hand before walking to a nearby trash can and tossing the pack into it. Then he climbed back into the front passenger seat and nodded for Christine to drive. "You asshole!" screamed Jordan. "Who the fuck do you think you are? You can't take away my smokes. I'm over eighteen and can smoke if I want." "You shouldn't have tried lighting up in someone else's car. That tells me that you have no r

"Okay. I'm sorry that I swore, everyone. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break. Now let me up so I can rinse my mouth you big bas ... bully," sobbed Jordan as she tried to speak without ingesting the soap. Mitchell slid off Jordan, then gently picked her up and placed her on her feet. Jordan looked at him for a second then accepted the glass of water Christine handed her. Everyone left the bathroom as Jordan began rinsing her mouth and spitting into the sink. "I imagine you had an interesting ride home," observed Melissa to Christine. Hailey and Willow had to hold their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling out loud. "I'm seeing a whole new side of Mitchell," admitted Christine. "He and Jordan are like oil and water. They just don't seem to mix. In his defense, he warned her that he'd wash her mouth out if she persisted in her swearing. I don't think I'd like to be treated like that, but I hope I'd never behave like she did, either." "Remember when you explained to me that o
