Ashley watched as Kelly's eyes stayed on the dressing room door for several moments after Reba had walked out, "She's right you know."
"About what?" Kelly turned back to her.
"That this isn't normal."
"How's it not normal? I'm a singer singing at an award's show."
"You are a pop singer singing at a very prestigious country music awards show...for the second year in a row."
Kelly shrugged, "It's just cause of Reba."
"And last year?"
"Gotta love the randomness of the music industry."
Ashley laughed, nodding as Kelly closed her eyes so she could finish her eye shadow that she had started before Reba had walked in to talk. "So..."
"No."
"KC."
"No."
"Kelly Brianne."
Kelly chuckled, "No."
"Are you ever gonna tell her?"
"Not planning on it anytime soon, nope."
"Why not?"
"Because she's Reba McEntire."
"So?"
"How the hell do you tell Reba McEntire that you're gay? I mean, that's just not a normal conversation."
"Um, it's Reba. The mere fact that you have conversations with her isn't normal."
"You know what I mean. I can't just be like...hey Reba, guess what? I'm totally a big ole' lesbian. Know any hot girls I can eat out tonight...no, not eat out with--eat out...nope? Oh well, keep a look out for me, will ya?"
Ashley held her side, laughing loudly as she leaned against the counter.
"It's not funny," Kelly laughed, hitting her playfully.
"Oh come on, that was totally funny."
Kelly shook her head, looking up at her best friend.
"Kelly, look...you've told everybody else that's close to you...why not her?"
"She's my idol," she shrugged.
"And? I'm your best friend, and Jeanne's your mom, and Kate's your wannabe lover...you told us."
Kelly smiled softly, "It's just different."
"How?"
"Y'all have to love me...Reba doesn't."
"Kate doesn't have to."
"Have you seen her best friend?" Kelly raised an eyebrow. "Obviously she wouldn't have a problem with it."
"You were still worried about it."
"Because gay best friend or not, Kate is still hot."
Ashley laughed, "And why did that worry you?"
"Because if she had a problem with it, it would take me so much longer to woo her, and I so don't have the energy for that right now in the middle of all this mess with the record."
"You're such a special child," Ashley teased.
Kelly laughed, "Whatever."
"So..."
"I don't need to have the talk, Ash," she rolled her eyes.
"I think you do."
"Alright, fine, lay it on me."
"I know that Reba's your idol, and I know that you really respect her as a musician and as a business woman and as a friend, but if she doesn't respect who you really are then she is not the person that you think she is, and she does not deserve you're admiration."
Kelly nodded.
"Got it?"
"Yes."
"Good. Now, if you dare eat your lip gloss before you get on stage, I swear to God, Clarkson, I will kick your ass. Do you understand me?"
"Yes ma'am," Kelly replied firmly, resisting the urge to salute her.
++++++++
"I think I'm sunburnt," Kelly touched her cheek carefully.
"Probably," Ashley nodded, sifting through her closet. "You were outside all day for that NASCAR thing."
"It was a lot of fun though, and Jason seriously had a blast."
"Yea, he completely dorked out...definitely a Clarkson thing."
Kelly laughed lightly.
"So are you nervous?" Ashley took out a simple black dress.
"That's kinda fancy."
"Kate said it was a really nice restaurant," Ashley handed it to her.
"And why would I be nervous?"
"You're going on a date with Kate."
"It's not a real date," she rolled her eyes.
"No, but you have to act like a real couple."
"We just have to act normal. That seemed to be enough to convince Meghan last time."
"Does Meghan know this is a double date?"
"Does she know Kate and I are going? Yea."
"No, does she know she and Jill are on a date."
"Um...I don't know. Kate said it was up for interpretation to her, whatever that meant."
"It probably meant that Jill asked her if she would like to join her for dinner with you and Kate. So Jill knows this is a double date?"
"Yea, Jill knows."
"Was she mad?"
"She said something about vengeance is sweet," Kelly shrugged. "I told Kate to sleep with one eye open just in case."
"Why didn't you just invite her to come sleep with you? That'd have been way safer," she smirked.
"You suck," Kelly shook her head, laughing. "You know, that right?"
"Don't knock it till you try it."
"Ok...ew..." Kelly made a face.
+++++++++
"She's picking you up?" Ashley asked as she and Kelly sat in the living room.
"Yea."
"That's so cute," she teased.
"Shut up," Kelly laughed. She stood up quickly at the sound of someone knocking on the door, nearly tripping.
"No...you're not nervous at all..."
Kelly glared, before walking to the front door. She took a deep breath before opening it with a smile, "Hey."
"Hey," Kate immediately pulled her into a hug. "You look great."
"Thanks," she pulled back.
"Did I make you blush?" Kate's eyes lit up.
"No," Kelly laughed softly. "I'm a little sunburnt."
"Aw, that sucks," Kate raised a hand, touching her cheek gingerly. "Does it hurt?"
Kelly shook her head, watching her carefully.
Kate smiled, retracting her hand, allowing Kelly to fully look at her for the first time.
"You look..." Kelly shook her head again. "Wow..."
Kate's smile grew, "Thank you."
"Yea, ok, now I'm blushing," Kelly laughed, motioning for her to walk further inside.
"Hey Ash," Kate waved.
"Hey girl, you look great."
"Thanks," she nodded, sitting on the sofa.
Kelly sat down beside her, trying to determine what was the appropriate amount of space to keep between them.
"So have y'all talked about this?" Ashley asked curiously.
"Talked about what?" Kate questioned.
"How y'all are gonna do this whole couple thing?"
"Oh, um...I think we're just gonna wing it," Kate replied, turning to Kelly who nodded.
Ashley giggled, "Wing it? No. Y'all need to at least set some ground rules."
"Ground rules?" Kelly raised an eyebrow.
"Of what y'all can or can't do."
"Like?"
"Hugging?"
"Well yea."
"Putting an arm around each other?"
"Sure."
"Holding hands?"
Kelly turned to Kate.
"Yea," Kate nodded.
"Kissing?"
Both Kelly and Kate froze.
"Not on the lips," Ashley answered for them, looking at Kelly pointedly.
She nodded.
Ashley turned to the clock in the wall before standing, "Y'all should get going."
Kelly and Kate followed suit, walking with Ashley to the door.
"Y'all just make sure to have fun, ok?" Ashley nodded. "And help Jill out, huh? Don't forget that's the whole point of this thing."
"Of course," Kelly assured with a smile, allowing Kate to walk through the door first. "Later Ash...don't wait up," she winked before turning and following Kate to her car.
"Kelly..." Ashley warned.
Kelly waved over her shoulder as she hurried to the driver side door to hold it open for Kate.
+++++++++++
"Have I mentioned how amazing you look?" Kelly asked with a smile as they walked to the quiet restaurant's front door.
"Yea," Kate giggled softly.
Kelly's smile grew as the door was held open for them. She placed her hand on Kate's lower back, ushering her through, leaving it there as they walked up to Jill and Meghan who were waiting for them in the lobby, "Hey, y'all."
"Hey," Jill stood, giving her a hug.
"Sorry we made y'all wait," Kate apologized. "Ashley was giving us the talk."
"The talk?" she laughed.
"Oh yea, you know..." Kelly motioned with her hand. "Treat her well, bring her back at a decent hour, no excess groping in public, make sure you use protection...that sort of thing."
Jill and Meghan both laughed loudly.
Kate wrapped her arms around the Texan from the side, smiling at her.
Kelly winked at her, rubbing her back. She did a double take before turning back to the other two, "So did y'all get a table yet?"
"Yea, I made a reservation," Jill nodded. "We were just waiting for y'all."
"Cool," Kelly smiled as Jill and Meghan moved to talk to the host.
"What's wrong?" Kate asked curiously.
"You totally aren't wearing heels," Kelly laughed softly.
"I wasn't sure if you were going to or what, and if you didn't, and I did, then that would've been bad," she smiled.
"Ashley made me," Kelly nodded. "That was seriously almost trippy."
"What?"
"Me turning to look at you without having to look up at you."
Kate laughed, "I'm still taller than you."
"Yea, but not by much," Kelly stretched up, trying to make herself taller.
"Come on dorks," Jill cut in, getting their attention.
They both laughed as they walked with Jill and Meghan to the table.
Kelly reached out, pulling out Kate's chair for her, smiling as Kate smiled in thanks as she sat down. She let her hand graze the blonde's shoulder before looking at Jill pointedly.
Jill quickly mirrored Kelly's actions, pulling out the chair for Meghan.
"Thanks," Meghan giggled lightly.
