Can't Hide the Truth Anymore Ch. 05
Gage's POV
Having never been interviewed, I was sort of excited, even though the reason behind it sucked. Devin looked incredible and I knew he would look amazing on television, but I wasn't so sure about me. Compared to the Devin, Jack and Jeremy, I was almost miniature in size. An image of me standing among giants flashed in my head and I giggled.
*quot;What?*quot; Devin asked me.
Embarrassed, I just shrugged. Like I was going to tell my hot, sexy boyfriend I was afraid I would look like a little kid on television.
Devin opened his mouth to say something, but I looked past him and noticed a woman in a teal business suit standing next to a man with a camera.
*quot;That has to be them, Devin,*quot; I whispered and nudged him with my elbow.
He turned and looked across the lobby. *quot;Yeah, I can't imagine any other reason they would be here.*quot;
I froze in my tracks, my old insecurities catching up with me. But Devin wasn't having any of it. He grabbed my hand, gave me a smile and pulled me along with him until we were standing right in front of them.
*quot;Hi,*quot; Devin started, offering his hand, *quot;I'm Devin and this is my boyfriend, Gage.*quot;
The pretty woman in the teal suit smiled and shook his hand. *quot;Good to meet you guys. Sorry it's under such awful circumstances.*quot; She let go of Devin's hand and reached out for mine. *quot;My name is Susan Winder and this is Gus Miller, my camera man.*quot; She glanced around the lobby. *quot;I had wanted to interview you guys outside, on the campus, to play up the college angle, but it's pretty cold and windy out there. This lobby looks too busy. You two have any ideas?*quot;
*quot;What about the basketball arena? I mean, since three of the men you're interviewing are on the basketball team.*quot; I blushed when she glanced at me. *quot;Yeah, I'm not one of those three.*quot;
She laughed and tossed back her perfectly coifed blonde hair. *quot;That's actually a great idea, Gage. Lead the way.*quot;
*quot;Wait, what about Jack and Jeremy?*quot;
The second the words left my mouth I heard Jeremy.
*quot;Hey! We're here.*quot; He jogged over to meet us, Jack trailing close behind.
Once introductions were made, we all headed over to the arena, chatting along the way. Luckily, Jeremy curtailed his emotions and didn't maul Jack as he usually did.
I ended up walking next to Susan, so I pulled the locket from my pocket and showed it to her.
*quot;Wow! That looks like an antique. Very pretty.*quot;
Since she seemed interested, I decided to just jump in and tell her about finding it.
Susan listened and seemed interested. When I finished, she smiled at me. *quot;Look, let's do another interview with you two about the locket today, too. That way, if we can fit the story in, we can add it to the news. But, let's not show them what's engraved on the back. That might be the only way someone can prove it belonged to them.*quot;
It sounded like a great idea to me. I pocketed the locket again and smiled over at Devin.
By the time we reached the arena, we had all discussed the interview about what happened last night and sort of knew what was going to happen. It turned out that she and Gus had already taken some footage at the bar
