Zac took Jessy's hand and led her to the van as as cameras flashed at them. "Zac who is she?" cried the reporters. "Jessy can I tell them?" he said as he stopped and looked at her. "Give it a try, I'm kind of wondering myself." Jessy said and smiled shyly. Zac stepped into her, put his hand under her chin, lifted her face and kissed her, his hand caressing her face as his lips caressed hers. As he drew away, Jessy sighed and he pecked her on the lips then the forehead, turned her around and wrapped his arms around her. "I'd like you all to meet my girlfriend, Jessy. We just started going steady. And yeah we know we're young, but I think you have to agree that thirteen years to me is like seventeen at least to others. I've done a lot of living these past four years so I get extra credit age wise, right?" Zac explained. "Zac how long have you known her?" a reporter asked. "It seems like I've known her forever." he told them and whispered in Jessy's ear, "In my heart." and Jessy leaned back and kissed him on the cheek. "Jessy how do you feel?" a reporter asked. "I'm elated, but scared. I can't imagine what it's going to feel like being hated by soooooo many fans. Like, I am truly sorry for breaking their hearts, but he is as wonderful as you've all imagined, I couldn't help but fall for him. So I guess, I'd just like to ask you to be happy for us, but I understand if you can't cuz if it was one of you instead of me, I'd be majorly bummed too." Jessy said smiling and as Zac kissed her cheek, she blushed. "Let's go Zac" the driver said. "Sorry we gotta go." Zac said taking Jessy's hand and led her into the van and then the guard got in closing the door and they were off to the venue. Once in side, "You two stay together. I mean it Jessy, don't wander off by yourself. If you get mad at lover boy here, you come find me until Walker and Mrs. H get here, don't take off on your own, promise me." the guard said. "I promise, with Zac or with you at all times." Jessy said. "Have fun kids." he said and headed to the offices. "You're all mine now. Want to see?" Zac asked. "See what Zac?" Jessy asked, "How big it is." Zac said and as Jessy's mouth dropped and her eyes got big, "Jesus Jessy, I meant the arena girl. Now don't you feel embarassed!" Zac said laughing and Jessy burst into laughter. As Zac pulled her hand leading her into the arena giggling, it echoed in the tunnel making her laugh harder. As they stepped out of the tunnel, her laughing stopped, "Wow it's so big." Jessy said awed. "Yes I've always thought so, but it's good to know you agree." Zac said giving her a bad boy look. "Zac Hanson, you're just full of yourself aren't you?" Jessy accused. "You can be too." Zac said pulling her to him and his lips found hers. Zac's hand wrapped around her waist pulling her even closer as his tongue waited for her to open her mouth so it could have it's way. As her teeth parted Zac wasted no time his tongue finding its way to the back of her mouth, as far back as he could strain moaning slightly as Jessy moaned wrapping her arms around his neck a pulling him harder into their kiss. Zac's hand slowly made it's way lower onto her butt. As he squeezed he moaned his pleasure. As he withdrew his tongue, Jessy's followed teasing his. Zac's tongue lay still as Jessy cocked her head pulling her into him even harder and she thrust her tongue to the back of his mouth as far as she could pulling it back and then making it to the back again even farther. Zac's arms wrapped tighter around her as he rubbed his body against her so slowly and as he started to harden he moaned from the depth of him so loud it frightened them both back into reality. "Zac I'm sorry I didn't, I mean, I really didn't think." Jessy apologized. "Yeah I know the feeling I didn't think either, I was just feeling the moment. Wow that sure felt good though. Jessy I gotta sit down a minute, Come here please?" Zac asked as he moved to the nearest seat and sat down carefully and then pulled her to him and he sat her down carefully. As she sat she felt the bulge beneath her. "Oh honey I'm sorry, how uncomfortable for you." she said with such guilt in her face. "Jessy it's not your fault, I started it. I just couldn't let you be the only dirty minded one and I'm paying the price for that now." Zac said seeing the concern in her eyes. "Just let me hold you, okay?" he asked. "I can do that." Jessy answered kissing his cheek and then she laid her head on his shoulder. "Zac?" she asked. "Yeah Jessy" he answered. "Zac where do you find the courage to stand in front of all of us and make music. Bearing your soul to us, asking for approval? I don't think I could be that strong." Jessy asked. "Like I didn't have enough pressure. Jessy I never thought of it that way, I just know all we've ever done is make music. First just us and then us with instruments. It's just who we are as much as I'm blonde, charming and damn good looking." he laughed. "I sure wish you weren't so bashful. You really should think more of yourself, you have so much to offer. We'll have to work on that self esteem issue of yours." Jess laughed. "Zac?" she asked. "Huh?" he answered. "You really are charming and damn good looking." she said. "I don't stand a chance with you by my side. I'll never be noticed again. My day in the spotlight ended when I fell head over heels for you this morning. But I don't mind as long as you're by my side." Zac said. "I like it here, I'm not about to give up my spot to anyone or anything." Jessy said assertively. "I love a woman who knows what she wants. You go girl." Zac said. "You may regret saying that, I have a tendency to want things my way. What tendency I'm down right stubborn at times. Like everytime you disagree with me. Oh Oh I may be telling you too much." Jessy quickly put a hand to her mouth. "Jessy I think I'll probably find out for myself sooner or later, hopefully later." Zac said and added, "I'm better if you want to try this my showing you around this place again." "I'd love it, but I don't really mind just sitting here in your arms even. I really, really like it. I feel so safe here." Jessy said. "You are, I would never let anything hurt you." Zac said. "That's how you make me feel." Jessy said raising her head and kissing his cheek, "Thanks for making me feel this way." she said and rested her head on his shoulder again and she sighed. "Let's go, I'll show you the stage." Zac said and Jessy got up off his lap and took his hand and pulled him to his feet. He led her back through the tunnel and to the far side of the arena to the backstage door. "Here it is Jessy." Zac said walking towards the drums. "Oh Zac it worse from down here. I'm scared and there's no one here." Jessy said moving closer to Zac. "Jessy honey it's okay. I felt that way the first time, but now hey it just what I do." Zac said. "Zac hold me a minute, please?" Jessy asked. "Jessy don't be scared. I won't let anything happen. Promise" he said wrapping his arms around her. "I'm sorry who'd think I'd be a wuss." Jessy said. "Surely not me, miss punch them in the gut." Zac teased. "It's just there's so many to punch, I don't know if I can." Jessy said. "Then let them meet the other Jessy, my Jessy, and you won't have to." Zac said. "You sure are a charmer." Jessy said smiling. "You did it, you made me not scared." Jessy said kissing him. "Ummm nice reward." Zac said. "What else can I do to get another one of those?" he asked. "You don't have to do nothing, you can just take one whenever you want one. But only you." Jessy told him and Zac pressed his lips to hers and she kissed him again. "Wow that's nice." Zac smiled as he walked around the drums making sure they were on the platform securely. Zac sat and picked up his drumsticks and handed them to Jessy. "Yes Zac I'll hold your drumsticks." Jessy said taking them and kissing him. "This I could like." Zac said leaning back into her. "Yeah I know what you mean." she said kissing him again. "Sticks" Zac said. "Got to kiss me first or no sticks." Jessy teased and Zac grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap and kissed her long and hard. "Oh that will get you just about anything, even your sticks." Jessy said. "Good. Sit her with me?" Zac asked as he turned her straight on his lap. "I'd love to, just don't let me get in your way, promise." Jessy said. "Promise hun." Zac said and he took the sticks and played with her on his lap. "Whoa, you can move. I didn't realize it was so hard. You are talented." Jessy sat feeling him play. She leaned her head back onto his shoulder lightly and felt his talent. "Whoa! I think I better quit enjoying this so much or I may do something that gets us both grounded for life." Jessy sighed. "That's some of the sexiest watching I've ever felt." Zac said and Jessy got up and kissed him. "Zac do you think Tay would mind if I played his boards?" Jessy asked. "Nah! Ike's the one with a personal connection with his instrument. "Great" Jessy said pecking him on the cheek and heading to the keyboards, turning them on reading Tay's scribbled notes. "Gimme Some Luvin" she read and hit the switch and hit the begining chords, "Cool" she said and then played the song and Zac joined in and set the pace faster, then faster, then faster and Jessy leered back, "You behave, we're making the other kind of music together you bad boy." Jessy said as someone turned on the mic. Jessy cringed her face turning red. "Jessy Jessy Jessy, you got to get you mind out of the gutter girl, we've got work to do here. You can hop my bones later. Just not now girl." Zac said. "Zac you're going to regret this!" Jessy said. "Jessy is it. Yeah you with the red face, I'm really sorry, I had no idea but with Zac, I should have guessed. Jessy would do me a favor and say hello over and over until I stop you, so I can adjust the level while your playing. "Hello" she said over and over. "Great Jessy now can we go for the piano." he asked. "With You In Your Dreams okay?" Jessy asked. "Anything sweetie and I'll take you talking or singing whatever you're comfortable with if you don't mind" he said and Jessy began and when she sang harmony to the song, Zac joined in taking lead. Jessy was almost moved to tears, but she liked what she heard so much she couldn't stop. She was so relieved when it was over. When the applause started behind her and at the back of the arena, she got really uncomfortable and quickly made her way to Zac. "Don't get scared. I promised I won't let anything hurt you. Didn't I?" Zac reassured her as he pulled her back into his lap. Jessy nodded her head then laid it back on his shoulder. "I didn't think about other people, just you, me, and the nice voice." Jessy said. "Thanks Jessy, from now on the rest of you call me Nice Voice, no more Elliot or those other names you call me. Jessy I don't mean to make you feel worse, but you and Zac sounded really good together. I know you knew. I saw you trying not to cry. And you aren't going to like this but I taped it, so if you ever want to hear it. Come on up and I'll make you your own copy." he said. "Thanks Nice Voice." Jessy said towards Zac's mic. "I want a copy. You may never sing with me again. Jessy do you think you would?" Zac asked. "Sssh he can hear us." Jessy said putting a finger to her mouth then pointing it up. Zac reached behind him and unplugged his mic. "Now he can't I'm unplugged and safe." Zac said. "You safe, not for me, you're going to get me in soooo much trouble someday, I just know it." Jessy teased. "You keep teasing that way and you're right I'm going to give you nothing but trouble." Zac teased back, adding, "And don't think I forgot you didn't answer my question because I know you haven't. I'm still waiting." "Zac, I don't know. He's right I almost cried because I liked what I heard. Maybe it was because you never sing anymore, lead I mean, and you should, you have a beautiful voice, as good as Tay if not better, but I'm kind of prejudiced. But man I was so nervous my stomach was churning so I wanted to stop, but I was so taken by the sound I just couldn't stop. It was weird." Jessy said. "It's not weird. That's how I felt Jessy, up until about a year, year and a half ago. Man I used to puke before the shows. I'd get so nerved up." Zac said. "So you're saying I just had it easy. Huh? I don't think I like the sound of that, it was pretty bad." Jessy hugged him tight. "We done?" she asked. "No I got to wait until Ike's here unless you play guitar too?" Zac asked. "Nope, it hurt my fingers too much, I gave up. I learned to play bass, so I could play Rock On for my mom but that's the extent of my string relationships." Jessy said. "Bass you say, we need a bass player in the family." Zac said making eyes at her. "No Zac. Don't make eyes at me either it won't work." Jessy said. "No puppy dog faces either." Jessy complained. "Your dirty old man face does nothing for me." Jessy laughed. "Jessy? Jessy?" the nice voice said. "Yes Nice Voice?" Jessy answered. "Jessy do you think you could have Zac bring you up, I'd love a chance to meet you?" he asked. " Pweaz Zac. Pwetty Pweety Pweaz?" Jessy asked batting her eyes at him. "Whoa, those eyes are a lethal weapon. Do you have to get a permit to carry them?" Zac teased. "Let's go meet nice voice." Zac said.
