Blake brought her hands to the edge of her lap, spreading the skirt of her dress out more evenly. ”Well we’re all very excited for the Red tour,” Ellen said, causing Blake’s eyes to light up. “ Isn’t it exciting? The album is dropping in a month, and then straight from there I’m basically jumping into a tour. I feel like everyone has been waiting long enough. Myself included.” she said enthusiastically. “ And you’ve said before that it is a different sound for you. But we can still expect the love songs right?” Ellen questioned. “Oh, .. I.. I don’t think it would be a Blake Parker album if it didn’t mainly deal with love. And hate. And passion.. fury, greatest happiness” she said, bouncing her foot. “And who did you say you were dating now again?” Blake smiled before laughing quietly. ”I’m really..really not dating anyone. At all. There’s no one sending me flowers. There’s no one calling me at night. There’s no one who thinks of me before they sleep. I mean there’s no one that even has my number. I promise.” Blake said, putting her hands up. “ And I mean, it’s not like I can even hide it. It’s always amazing to me. I get photographed just walking beside a complete stranger and the tabloids say that we’re getting married. And then at first when I actually get pictured with someone I am dating, there’s always more speculation. Are they?Aren’t they? Is he allergic to her cat?” Blake said, shaking her head. “ So no boyfriend’ Ellen clarified. “ No boyfriend.” Blake said with a nod. “ Then who is that sweet little number you brought with you?” Blake laughed as she tilt her head in confusion. “ What? Oh! I brought my cousin. But we don’t date. I lived in Nashville. Not Arkansas” she said with a smile. ‘ You brought two, are they both your cousins?” Blake licked the corner of her lips. “ Uh..” she said, biting the edge of her lip. “ No, but I um.. I do have…two cousins” she said before forcing out a smile. “ Ohh, well. Who are each of the people you brought with you?” Blake lit up brightly, turning over her shoulder. “ That is Dylan. And I actually brought a picture to share,” Blake said, looking to see if they were going to project it.
“ What are you two doing here?” Blake smiled as she looked at the picture, turning against the arm rest. “ I made him a mermaid. We were at the beach yesterday and I buried him in sand, and then tried to make a tail,” Blake said, gesturing to the bottom of the picture. “ He’s touching his boobs”. Blake nodded. “ Yeah he named them.” She said seriously while looking up at the picture. “ You two look…….nothing alike” Blake laughed , sitting up straight again. “ Dylan is my absolute um… well, he’s my person. He can tell what I’m feeling and how my mind works, and he’s just always been there for me in a way that I can’t explain. And he really is the most amazing guy. He’s just this insanely talented person who loves with everything he has. I’ve never met someone who is so in tune with themselves. And then I have my younger cousin, Derek. And he’s… I mean, he’s such a force to be reckoned with. He’s seventeen so he’s a bit more… wild, discovering himself. He’s basically married. They’re both really musical. Dylan is actually the lead singer of my favorite band All Time Low. So you guys should absolutely go check it out right now. I mean vocally he’s just… he’s phenomenal.” Blake said admiringly. “ And I wish I had a heart half as beautiful as Derek’s.” she said, giving a small smile before taking in a deep breath. “ So that’s one handsome down, who is the other” Ellen asked. “ Oh, well that is Thayer.” Blake said looking away from the picture since it was taken down. “ Uh huh. And what does Thayer do? Model?” Ellen asked. “ He’s actually a part of my production team,” Blake said while laughing quietly. “ He’s very…. Very, handsome” Ellen pushed. Blake looked over her shoulder again to catch a glimpse of him again before looking back at Ellen. “ Yeah he is!” she said, as though the thought was breaking news that everyone else was also hearing for the first time.
“ Does your production team always travel with you?” she questioned. ‘ Uh,well no..” Blake said while narrowing her eyebrows. “ So just him then.” Ellen said decisively. “ No I get ya” .Blake tilt her head slightly, “ Well I mean I’m writing and recording right now already for my next album. Bits and pieces. So.. and he’s um.. well he’s an intern at the label” Blake said, like that explained everything. “ Well then obviously he’s earned it.” Blake scrunched her nose, “ Well like I said, I’m recording”. There wasn’t even a beat of silence. “ I would record all the time. But no that’s great. You two look like you would make beautiful, beautiful….music, together. I was going to say music. But no, you’re both beautiful. So congratulations. Does he get to produce the songs you write about him? Or when you date someone at the label do they get fired.. I mean.. if they aren’t other artists? Does he get to work one day and it’s like ‘hey wam bam you’re fired’ Or do you slip him the pink slip in his pancakes during breakfast?” Blake dropped her jaw slightly while making an offended face. “ What? Why do you assume we would break up and he’d get fired?” she questioned. “ So you are dating. That’s fantastic.” Blake rolled her eyes while smiling. “ No. Very much not. In fact.. ladies. He is actually single. And quite the romantic. He’s waiting on magic.” she said, lifting her eyebrows up and down. “ And what are you waiting for? You could put on a magician’s suit and be whatever he needs you to be. Portia might not like it, but I own a lot of suits. I’m borderline thinking about jumping back on the other team.” Blake chuckled, trying to think of her own response. “ Um..” she said, sighing. “ I’m waiting for….. enchanting” she said, smiling softly. ‘ I think there are plenty of men lining up to be that for you.” Ellen said. Blake caught herself zoning out, thinking of the way his lips had tasted, how well he danced – even with her two left feet. “That really doesn’t happen as often as people think. I think I’m undateable.” Blake said with a smirk. “ Do you have a celebrity crush?” “ Um. YES.” Blake said emphatically while sitting perfectly still. “ Oh..okay, wow. Who is it?” Ellen asked. “ Luke Bryan. I’m a super… big fan of his as-……tronomical singing abilities. And the way he shakes… up the tempos and you never know what’s coming. Big fan. Huge fan. Poster on my bedroom wall fan. Dream duet.” she said. “ That’s so weird. Most people like him for his butt.” Ellen said. Blake laughed , making a questioning face. “ Does he accentuate that? That doesn’t seem accurate,” she said. “ What song of his will you be covering over your tour?”. Blake’s eyes lit up, “ You know he has this really amazing song that just came out today called Are You Leaving With Him - and I love it. But I'm a girl. Singing to a dude. SO that doesn't work. I actually will be covering ‘That’s my kind of night,’ she said,wiggling her hips in her seat. “ Great, Thayer can tell us all about how you two spend your nights.” Ellen said while cutting Blake off. “ We’re going to go to break and when we come back, Blake is going to perform one of her singles off the Red album, Everything Has Changed’.
Blake gave Ellen a quick hug before standing up and heading over to Dylan and Thayer. “ Hope you don’t mind an All Time Low plug,” she said, winking at Dylan before turning her attention to Thayer, putting her hands out to the side slightly. “ Turns out you’re really handsome,” she said, laughing quietly. “ But with that and your talent.. you’ll be able to have any girl you want,” she said, patting him on the shoulder before walking away. Blake looked over the slew of guitars before she picked one up and walked over to Dylan, smiling as she offered the guitar to him. “ Ed’s not here. We go in like.. a minute” she said, putting her hands together before she sauntered off towards the set. “ Blake you’re supposed to be singing I Knew You Were Trouble” someone called out after her. “ Oh, well. Since I’m the one singing, I think I’ll go with Everything Has Changed.Like I told Ellen before we went on air.” Blake said, holding her hands folded in front of her as she turned with a smile. ”But….. you’re supposed to sing I Knew You Were Trouble” Blake shook her head. “ I… I don’t want to sing that. I want to sing Everything Has Changed. I’m feeling that song more today.” “ You’re…what? You sing all of the songs, Blake. Today you’re supposed to sing something else.” he continued. Blake looked back head. “ Optimism. People need optimism today.” she said with a nod of finality before going towards her stand. When she got to the stand she turned over her shoulder, smiling as she watched Thayer. But she held a finger to her lips, gesturing as though it were a secret that she wasn’t following orders. When Dylan came to the stage she smiled, turning her attention to him, the same old stupid handshake they’d had since they were kids and about to perform, their facial expressions, same old stupid quick vocal warm ups. It was nice to know that no matter what their stage was, they would still have the same version of each other that they always had. They finished their routine, linking their pinkies together before kissing their own thumbs, curled up in fists. She winked at him before stepping towards the microphone.
