&&backstage[/size] Vanessa had been waiting for this for what seemed like forever. She was in her dressing room with five minutes before the opening of her new premiere on the new network. She had heard that it promised a greater boost in the ratings and afterall, they were paying more. As she had been getting her final makeup touchups, Vanessa was cued with a minute before the opening. The show was live and anything could happen. It was here that she was always nervous, when she was standing behind that curtain waiting for the Stage Manager's call.
[/blockquote][/blockquote] &&live....[/size] She walked down the catwalk runway to a burst of screaming fans. They had been waiting here for hours just for the show to begin and here she was. She was dressed in a skin tight black dress with high heels. She waved to the audience before taking her seat in the hostess' chair.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Today is the first episode of a new season on a NEW NETWORK!" She shouted to a burst of applause. She waited for them to calm down before she got serious.
"And on today's show we have two people who had been the headline of many newspapers and we are here to get the truth and the details. Ladies and Gentlemen we have Haden Mathias and Keriann Kodish!" She said with excitement as she again waited the crowd applaud.
"And to get this all started we'd like to hear his side of the story and then we will bring out Keriann and see how the couple is together, but for now, let us welcome Haden Mathias!" She shouted as she got to her feet and applauded waiting for the man to too walk down the runway.

“Go.” The backstage director said to him now that the cue had been given.
He heaved a huge sigh and without much thought, he walked out and onto the runway and doing so brought back a few recent memories and it brought him an opportunity also. Once word had leaked out that he was going to be on the season premiere for one of the hottest shows in America right now, Armani did not hesitate to send him something completely free of charge for this huge event Actually, they sent him two options but he didn’t want to wear the suit, it seemed too formal for such a show. They must have known, like many that millions of viewers would be locked on to GVE to see this season premiere which, Haden knew, was going to be a very explosive, probably gripping episode. He just hoped that things did not get out of hand. He just wanted the opportunity to have his say and to dismiss all that mindless gossip from the papers and the magazines and thankfully, Conrad wanted just that…but who knows what more she was going to squeeze out of this interview.
The applause was tremendous, he had to admit that. And the screaming, he felt, was a bit unnecessary. Almost professionally, he walked down the runway. His focus was to simply walk down the path, smile and wave to those who waved at him and try not to stare into the cameras. He was not here for a photo opportunity. He was here to set the record straight between himself, Keri and the people who were led to believe information that could only be termed “slander”. Such a shame there was no better word for that stuff that On The Record poured into the minds of practically everyone here and it seemed some believed that stuff whole heartedly because, as he took the closest of the two seats beside Ms. Conrad, he could not help but notice the three women in the third row on the left side of the runway, casting looks his way and whispering among themselves. He sighed but he continued to smile and keep a straight, friendly face. He had done nothing wrong, he was one hundred percent sure of that and he was here to make that known. The minute the crowd had died down, Haden shifted in his seat and looked at Vanessa. “Hey everyone. Vanessa, thank you for having me on today.” He greeted as politely as he could but it wasn’t a stretch from what he was not accustomed to. He planned on being as much himself as possible while exhibiting some sense of decorum. |

"And it's great having you! I must say that once the invitation was sent to both Haden and Keriann both agreed to the show, without hesitation!" Vanessa smiled with the sound of applause. She too shifted in her seat as she got more comfortable to face the guest. "I must say you look stunning in the blazer!" She flirted as she crossed her legs and adjusted a curl that was hanging down over her face. "But enough of that. Our audience wants to know, what have you been up to lately. What's been keeping you busy?"

His attention was solely on Vanessa. He did not want to look at the crowd, he did not want to find himself staring into a camera and he just did not want to lose his cool not here and now and to be honest, he was more than expecting for Conrad to jump right into all that news that was spreading around about him and his alleged bout of infidelity with multiple women while with Keri at the time and of course, it was not true. If these people only knew what kind of person he was. He has only ever had two girlfriends with the latter being Keri who has been with him ever since and it was not because he was unable to attract the attention of an attractive female, he was just a one woman kind of guy. That was all there was to it, that and he didn’t just date whoever. He believed in compatibility, as well as “The One”, as mythical as many make it to be. Thankfully though, Vanessa decided on another route but he was still anticipating the turn in conversation, but for now, he was going to just go with the flow as it was.
“Well…I spent some years in Medical School, now I’m a practicing physician specializing in Anaesthesiology but I also sub specialize in cardiac surgery and deal with critical and intensive care patients.” Haden said, waiting for the women and their wooing to cease before he continued. “Also, no one really knows this but I was approached some years ago by someone and that led me to taking on some part time modelling. That allowed me to pay the bills and put food on the table for me and my daughter and later on it helped me to support my…” He had to pause because he had to remember that the world that once was, no longer existed and that included his son and grandsons. Painful every time. “To support me and Keri. Since, my time has been devoted to the newspaper I recently bought ownership of, the Los Angeles Times and I’m happy to say that this new endeavour is going well for me.” He finished off and knowing all of this, it kinda brought a smile to his face. Ignoring how magic had pissed off his life, the human side of him was prospering. |

Vanessa offered a smile and a nod when he was mentioning his accomplishments. She was getting what they had told her she must ask out of the way, or what she terms, 'the boring stuff.' Vanessa's smile then turned into a stare that was more serious. "Modelling you say? What type of modelling do you do Haden and at the same time take care of your Fiance and being a doctor? If you ask me that's almost a critical mass to juggle!" Vanessa commented as she waited for a response.

“I mainly do those editorial spreads, magazine covers, campaigns and if I’m up for it I would do a runway show, but the runway isn’t my thing but still, I can do it…and as I told you before. I had to put my career as a practitioner on hold for a bit. Forgot to mention that, but yeah, I had to put medicine on hold. It would have taken away from the time it took me to raise my daughter and I wasn’t about to walk right into that situation. So it wasn’t much for me to juggle if you think about it. Had modelling gigs at least once or twice a week, and the rest was spent with my family. It’s been an easy road for me.” And it was. He glanced around at the audience then to Vanessa and he was surprised at how eager he was for the hard-grinding questions to come. |

She offered the rehearsed smile that she was critiqued so much for not having as Haden responded. In the back of her mind she was just glad to get this segment over with. "Sounds like you are doing well, but enough about you, let's hear from the woman you're suppose to be marrying...Ladies and Gentlemen "Keriann Kodish!"

She was waiting backstage nervously. Looking up at the backstage screen watching the live show was nerve wracking and she didnt know what questions Vanessa had prepared for them. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard her name and the director backstage pushing her forward. It was show time. The curtain opened the reveal her white dress that she had picked out especially for this occasion. She walked down the runway smiling and waving back at the audience as she walked over to her prepared seat, giving Haden a small kiss before she did so. "Good to be here." She said with a smile.

She was cordial until she took her seat. She had a welcoming smile as she watched the two exchange the small kiss. Then she rested comfortably on her chair. "Good." she said shortly before turning to the audience and then to her cue cards. "Why are we still calling you Ms. Kodish as opposed to Mrs. Mathias?"She asked curiously, raising an eyebrow as she did so.

Keriann was in her chair and still adjusting to it when the question was thrown at her. She turned to Haden as if looking for support before turning back to Vanessa. "Well, Haden and I are a very unique and different couple. It doesnt take marriage to solidify our love for each other. What I know is that I love him and no length or time, or a ring, or a license can ever give me enough permission to display how much I love him. So, to us, the time doesn't matter."

Vanessa nodded and then turned to roll her eyes so much that the camera didnt catch it. Vanessa shook her head and absorbed Keriann's comments before returning with another question. "Well excuse me but to me and the rest of the world, and I guess either or you can respond to this, it seems as though one of you are afraid of the overall commitment. Not very often you see people engaged for over a year with nothing. I mean nothing. Nothing at all.

“Well, no offence to you and the rest of the world, but this social norm is not law.” He spoke out, not sure if he was free to or not but he was not going to sit there and let his relationship with the woman he loved get attacked, far less would he let Keriann get attacked by this overzealous talk show host. “Keriann and I love each other…I am not afraid to say that we have a love that most people will never know and, undoubtedly…” He paused, looking to the crowd then right into Conrad’s eyes, “…understand.” He took another pause then he took Keri’s hand in his as he made himself more comfortable in his seat. “Neither of us are afraid to commit…I am not afraid to commit, as far as I know, we have committed our love for each other…if by commit you refer to a ceremonial display, then no, unfortunately, we have not had the pleasure of experience that “joy”…but I want to do that for Keri. I want her to experience the glitz and glamour but even still, our love will be as it is right now, powerful and growing still and the only difference would be a six-figure diamond on her finger and a band on mine. To be honest…it makes me feel cheap to think that material needs are required to say, “yes, we’re married so we’re in love” because with or without, we’ll be truly in love…what we have isn’t nothing…” He took another pause and looked at Keri and he couldn’t help but smile. “…we have everything.” |

Vanessa could tell that the man was becoming angry with the first questions of interest and it made her curious to the follow up questions she was about to pursue. "So what about these photos in the tabloid of you and other women. How does that influence your relationship. Or is this an...an open relationship that we aren't aware of?" Vanessa pressed as she looked at them both.

Haden looked at Conrad for a second before he turned and looked at Keri. He gently squeezed his fingers, realizing that she hadn’t said anything about those photos and he honestly did not know how to interpret her lack of questioning. Was she so angry that she was just waiting for the right moment to explode, which could be now? Or…or did she just not care about the tabloids and the rumours which were just that, rumours. “We are not in an open relationships…in this relationship, it is just us. No one else can ever and will never come between us. I just want you to know that first.” Haden said, keeping his cool…trying actually. “And next…I did say I modelled…and those photos are of me when I was younger and used to…used to model. I guess someone thought they could turn that which I used to support my family into something that was used to intentionally hurt my family…and that just does not sit right with me Ms. Conrad.” |
