Zac and Jessy made their way to the Control booth. "Wow impressive." Jessy said as Zac explained most of the equipment. "I'd agree Impressive." Elliot said. "Hey Nice Voice." Jessy said. "Jessy it's such a pleasure. Zac I'm very impressed with your taste in women. It's always the shy ones. He's probably been waiting for the likes of you all along." Elliot said. "Thanks man I think she's awfully special." Zac said. "Here Jessy this is for you and one for Zac." Elliot said handing her two tapes. "Would you like to hear it now, all I have to do is hit that button or you can when you're ready." he offered. "Jessy, I want to hear. Let's listen. Remember I promised, so you know it won't hurt. The most that can happen is you hate and never listen to it again. Please" Zac begged. "Zac you're not playing fair. It's suppose to work the other way, remember I get MY way, not you get YOUR way." Jessy complained. "Oh didn't I tell you, I'm probably more stubborn than you ever thought of being." Zac said. "Now you tell me." Jessy said adding "Well that sucks big time." "Come on, you know you want to." Zac said. "No I don't, but you want to." Jessy said. "Of course I do and you should too." Zac said. "Why?" Jessy said. "Because I bet it's really good." Zac said. "Why?" Jessy asked. "Because you've got a really nice voice." Zac said. "Why?' Jessy asked. "Oh I get it. Little Miss Why drives me crazy and gets her way." Zac said "Why not." Jessy said as Zac let out a scream and dove for her. "You have to be faster than that to catch me." Jessy laughed from the other side of the console. "I'll get you." Zac said and Jessy got ready to run as Zac pushed the button and the tape started. "Cheater" Jessy screamed and bolted for the door and headed down the hall and into the arena. "Jessy please I'm sorry. Don't be mad. I'm sorry please. Come back. I won't do it again. Listen up everbody. I'm looking for the most beautiful girl on the face of the planet, her name is Jessy and she's mad because she was winning and I cheated to get my way. If I could do it over I'd just be a good sport about it because that's how she treated me, she was a good sport when she could have easily just walked out of my life. So folks if you see her tell her I'm sorry, so sorry. I'm begging for another chance. Please Jessy." Zac broadcasted throughout the arena. She didn't know if she was crying because she was mad, glad, or embarassed. She heard someone coming so she headed down the tunnel and slipped into the seat in the back corner and curled up in a ball and cried. "Jessy don't cry. I tell you I won't let anything hurt you and then I go do it myself. I'm really sorry." Zac said with such disappointment in his voice. "God please tell me I didn't screw this up. Jessy I'm sorry." he said his voice trembling. Jessy looked to see such pain in his eyes, "Oh Zac don't look that way." Jessy said. "That's how I feel, I'm losing you because I did something stupid." Zac said. "Something stupid, that doesn't mean crap if I lose you over it." he said with such desperation. "Zac I'm sorry, I just hate cheaters, but I don't want to hate you. I love you. I don't know what to do, this is so confusing." Jessy said searching Zac's face for an answer. "Zac could you hold me please. I want to feel safe." Jessy asked praying that she still did. She felt him lift her and he sat, then placed her in his lap. Jessy laid her head on his shoulder and when he placed his arms around her that warm feeling came to her immediately without hesitation, she trusted him and felt safe in his arms. "Oh Zac I feel safe. I still trust you." Jessy said. "What?" Zac asked. "I didn't know what to think, what to trust, what to believe so I listened to my heart and it tells me I trust you enough to feel safe in your arms even though I'm mad at you for being a cheat." Jessy smiled throwing her arms around him. "Jessy I am sorry, here I want you to have both of these, if you want to destroy them I understand. I hope you don't but I would understand." Zac said handing her the two tapes. "Thanks Zac but this is yours. You're on it too. So you keep yours." Jessy said handing one back. They gazed in each others eyes for what seemed an eternity, "Zac?" Jessy asked. "Yeah Jessy" he answered. "Would you kiss me?" she asked and his lips found hers immediately and he kissed so softy with such caring. "I so wanted to kiss you, but I was afraid it would make you mad all over again." Zac confessed. "I just couldn't stand it anymore. You heard I can't keep my hands off of you didn't you." Jessy said and they both laughed knowing they would survive this.
