Jo and Kira ca with excitement It had been over a month since the Fiery Boys tour contest had been announced, and tonight they were revealing the winner Soroupie would soon be chosen to ride on their bus, and then the three of us could return to our regular lives

Pal so nored his teasing and turned on the television

Kira poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip "I' to think positively here" She started to repeat her contest-winningto win"

Jo slass of whiskey "I'll show you positive thinking" She shot the drink and dropped the glass on the table "I aet drunk" We laughed, and even Palreed with that sentiment

Jo turned toto win or get drunk?"

I wondered if Ionbean I mean, how silly was it to be nervous over this, especially when I kneouldn't be picked? Neither would Jo-the photographs we'd submitted were jokes Only Kira had a chance Maybe I was nervous for her

We plodded through a few commercials, then an announcer told us e already knew: it was time for the contest results And to make the announceer of the Fiery Boys, Chuck Van Dorn The three of us held our collective breaths

Chuck wasn't a kid anyreat Even better than he had ten years ago, if that was possible He wasn't as rail thin and gangly-now he exuded real sexuality, with a corin and those perfect features He had his usual beard shadow, long dark hair, and green eyes Although not my favorite Fiery Boy, I couldn't deny his appeal

Chuck stood in front of a custoo emblazoned all over it Flashes went off every few seconds, and the ca a crowded room of reporters After a et everyone's attention Kira crawled to the screen to give him a remote kiss
