"Brrrrr." Naomi shivered making her way down the street, noticing the Blue Rose on the corner heading directly for it thinking how cold it was here in Tulsa. It felt as cold or colder than it was back in Illinois and she wondered why on earth she moved here. "Oh yeah. Here my friends will come visit me in hopes of a Hanson sighting." she laughed to herself thinking of her pal Jessy and Jessy's internet sister Chele. She was deep in thought, remembering the great time they had this summer as the three met for the first time. "Oops! Excuse me I wasn't watching where I was going." Naomi apologized bending to retrieve her hat and bag which she'd dropped. "She didn't show man. Manager says she should be here by now." someone said to the person she'd bumped into. "I think she's here now." Naomi said making her way to what looked like the owner. "Naomi?" he asked before she even got there. "Yes sir. I hear I'm late. Customers aren't happy so why don't I just get busy and try out for the job now." she said taking control of the situation, moving to the patio doors overlooking the rink. "Hey who measured the rink. It must have shrunk since they told me the dimensions." Naomi teased shaking her head no as she laced her first skate. "Here pop this in, give me a minute or two to stretch and then start the show." Naomi ordered handing the owner a CD then removing her coat before heading to the rink. "She was right man, she is here. You bumped into the skater Ike. Hope you didn't hurt her." his buddy teased. "Hope not too." Isaac said watching her stretching then moving to the ice, looking back and nodding to the owner. "Hey everybody. Welcome to the opening of the ice skating season. As you know it doesn't last long around here so come on in and enjoy our first skater vying for the coveted position of Miss Blue Rose Skater." the owner broadcasted in and outside as Naomi glided to center ice. As the music started, Isaac's eyes lit up as he smiled at her choice as the first few lines of 'Rain' played, then the first few lines of 'With You In My Dreams'. He was impressed with how she switced back and forth between the two pieces skating with such emotion as 'With You In My Dreams' continued before she began skating to 'Weird' and finally finishing with 'Look At You / Shake A Tail Feather' and thunderous applause inside and outside. "There you have it folks our first competitor. You know how this goes, voting is done by placing a dollar in the cannister of the competitor you want to be named Miss Blue Rose Skater. And as always, the monies in the cannister go to the skaters favorite charity and this little lady will be collecting money for the Tulsa Youth Arts Program. I've been told she doesn't just raise funds for this worthy organization, she also donates her time and gives skating lessons twice a month to the youth of Tulsa." he shared as Naomi made her way back inside. "Oh my God." she said to herself as she recognized him. "OH MY GOD" she thought as she realized he was the person she had bumped into as she arrived. "Great job. You are really good." the owner exclaimed as he neared. "Thank you. If the rink hadn't shrunk, I would have done my quad and given everyone something to shoot for." Naomi shared noticing Isaac approaching. "Isaac Hanson. Like your choice of music and what you did with it. I never saw the similarites before, cool." he said extending his hand. "Thank goodness you liked it. I freaked when I saw you, umm sorry again about plowing into you like I did. When I was first noticed your, it was like, 'Oh no what do I do a Hanson and I never got permission and what will he think of what I did to his music?' I considerd running but I was in skates." Naomi explained taking his hand. The minute her hand touched his, her knees began to buckle as the shivers raced through her body. There was something about this man she thought as she finally lifted her eyes from their hands up to his warm brown eyes. Naomi was drawn to their warmth and the smile on his face warmed her heart. "Can I buy you something to drink?" Isaac asked. "I'd love something warm to drink. Please?" Naomi asked. "Why don't we go back to my table, I don't see anything else." Isaac suggested extending his hand to her. "Umm fine by me." Naomi replied as he slipped her hand in his. "Ackkk I'm still on skates, slow down." she pouted wrapping her othe hand around his bicep to steady herself. "Whoa! Major bulkage." she thought to herself looking at him in a different light. "Two espressos please." Isaac asked the waitress as they crossed paths. "You rocked. Do you skate professionally?" she asked noticing Naomi on his arm. "Nope. I do it for fun mostly. I do compete to keep myself competitve is all." Naomi answered. "I'll bring those drinks right away. Great job, I hope you win." the waitress said heading to fill their oder. "Guys I'd like you to meet Naomi. Naomi some of my friends Bob, MIke and Charlie." Isaac introduced as they all rose. "Hi guys. Thanks for being so polite, it's refreshing to meet good manners." Naomi said extendng her hand and shaking each of theirs before sliding in the booth. As Isaac took his place by her side, Naomi was sitting forward on the bench hoping there was just enough room that he would have to sit so close to her his arm would drape around her. She smiled and turned back to smile at him as she felt his hand glide across her backside and rest on her hip. Shivers raced through her body again, "Are you cold babe?" Isaac asked rising and retrieving his coat. "Oh thanks. As long as I'm moving, I'm okay but when I stop I'm soon reminded I was outside in freezing cold conditions barely covered." Naomi shared then sighed at the warmth of his concern and his touch as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her close trying to warm her up. "Here's your drink. We'll warm you from the inside too." Isaac said paying for the order before returning his attention to her, watching her sip her drink. Isaac's friends wasted no time asking questions, "So why move to Tulsa?" one of them asked. "Well by moving here, at least my friends would come visit me, they're fans too." Naomi answered as soon she had shared her story. She was an only child, raised by Nannies and shipped off to boarding schools as soon as she was old enough. Her father owned a publishing company and her mother was a college professor and their lives were to busy to deal with her. "I went through a rebellious stage you might call it. Gave them a run for their money. Let's just say I'm not proud of who I was then. I was so grateful to find someone who cared enough to help me see what I had become. You know that song out that starts 'Who cares. So what. You just got lucky. Shut up. I don't want to hear another word about it.' well that's her. Best friend I could ever ask for. She's like four years younger than me and I'm all big and bad and full of attitude. Intimidating everyone I come in contact with and Jessy gives me this who cares attitude and shot me down. Why she cared I'll never understand but I thank God for her everyday. I'd probably be dead by now. I was on the verge of drugs and alcohol when Jessy saved me." she shared as the owner approached asking her to skate again, "Your container is almost filled." he shared excitedly. "Cool. Have you guys voted yet?" Naomi asked nodding towards the jar. "Yes ma'am." they said in unison. "Very funny. You were a little slow with the ma'am, don't let it happen again." she teased pointing across the table. "She was poining at you." Mike said. "No she was pointing at you." Charlie insisted. "I need a bathroom and then I'll skate again." she answered. "I'll show you." Isaac said rising and extending his hand. Naomi slipped her arms in his jacket, reached for his hand then followed him. As they returned she stopped at her bag searched through her CD's. "Here this one is for you." Naomi said kissing Isaac's cheek, handing the CD to the owner, slipping out of Isaac's coat before heading to the ice, stretching a little before making her way to center ice. Everyone gathered round as Isaac slipped on his coat and made his way ringside. The manager announced her returning to the ice and began the music. She skated with such emotion to 'From This Moment" catching Isaac's eye and a big smile appeared on her face. The crowd roared as she complete a quad then ahhh'd as she glided across the ice with such grace and poise, applauding her Bealman spin at the end. As she left the ice she noticed Isaac open his coat, inviting her in. "Ooohh you're so warm. I like it here." Naomi confessed gazing into his warm brown eyes. "I like you here too." Isaac replied finally pressing his lips to hers. She was consumed by his presence and surrounded in the warmth of his lips. "Hmm I like that too." Naomi confessed as he pulled away from her lips. "So you going to introduce us." Taylor asked as he and Zac approached. "Man I always have to share. Ever since they were born, be nice, share, let your little brother have a turn." Isaac pouted. "Poor baby." Naomi teased, caressing his face then kissing him sweetly. "Ooohhh I feel better. Maybe another one." Isaac pleaded. "Poor baby." Naomi said again before caressing his face, gazing deep into his eyes then staring at his lips. "Ooohh" she sighed before cocking her head slightly, gently pressing her lips to his, kissing him so tenderly. "Naomi." he moaned as she kissed him agaiin and again as tenderly. "Aaahhh" he moaned over and over until she finally withdrew from their kiss. He was speechless, motionless. He stood there with her wrapped in his arms, sharing his coat. "I'll never let you go." he finally whispered. "Isaac. Isaac. Oh well umm Hi brothers Tay and Zac, I'm Naomi. I"m your brothers, um,um..." Naomi was stuck as to what she was to him. "I heard him. You are his torturer." Zac spoke up. "Now there isn't a mark on him. Yet. Give me a chance to get in some serious necking time and I'll change that. Isaac. Hun. Still out of it. So what's up?" Naomi asked as she turned in Isaac's arms to face Taylor and Zac. "Okay?" she asked leaning back, looking uo at Isaac who kissed her sweetly. "Yeah, okay." Isaac finally responded. "Like she asked, What's up?" Isaac asked and the four stood talking before heading inside, joining Isaac's friends. "I guess we could share a seat." Naomi said slipping onto Isaac's lap as he slid them over making room for Taylor to sit down also. They ordered drinks and sandwiches and talked making plans for later. "My folks are suppose to go out, I think." one of the guys said trying to decide where to meet. "Hun you, um we can meet at my place, my folks are home in Illinois and I like it that way. I bought the weird house on the corner past the library." Naomi shared. "The haunted house. You live in the haunted house?" Isaac asked as everyone gasped and started whispering. "Don't tell me you're afraid of ghosts? They won't hurt you unless...." Naomi teased, adding, "The place is cool. Full of all sorts of secret rooms and passageways." "So you're the reason it got fixed up and painted huh?" Isaac asked. "Guilty. I had it restored with my allowance over the years. I'm considering buying the next block and renovating that with th guilt money I saved. You know the if you don't get in trouble, I'll pay you." Naomi answered. "What you going to do with it?" Taylor asked. "Not sure yet. I'm having poll done on a couple of my ideas to see what flies. I considered in line with MayFest a year round Music district, you know Country, Pop, Rock, Classical Night Clubs but all non-alcoholic you know teen clubs. Teens spend more money on music anyway. I'd like to see a family oriented club but Jessy said it would be like her house, her brothers are rock, she's pop/alternative and Momma is country and the mix is unbearable." Naomi shared. "Sounds like our van. Now the radio is the driver's pick and everyone wears headsets." Zac shared. The group made plans to met later. "Well if I'm going to have company, I better stop at the market and get munchies. What do you like?" Naomi asked. "I'll take you hun. We'll see you all later." Isaac shared as the two headed to take off her skates an say goodbye to the owner before heading to the store and Naomi's house.
