Carrie Underwood left the stage of "Ellen" after a nice interview. It was country week on the show and Carrie was the first interview of the taping session. They were taping two episodes this day and next up, after a short break, was Miranda Lambert.
Carrie finished talking with a stage hand and approached Miranda's dressing room. She lightly knocked and received no answer. She slowly opened the door and peeked in but saw something that almost caused her to faint.
Miranda was facing away from the door, on her knees and in front of a black man who had not a stitch of clothing on. Her head was bobbing back and forth, making it obvious to Carrie what she was doing to this man who was not her husband. He noticed her standing at the door and smiled before closing his eyes and having what was obviously an orgasm in the singer's mouth. Carrie quietly closed the door and backed away from the room.
"What the fuck," she said to herself as she walked back to her own dressing room.
Carrie quickly changed out of her purple dress and into the pair of jeans and tight white tank top she wore to the studio. The entire time she changed, she could not get the picture of Miranda cheating on her husband out of her mind. She decided to leave the building and get back to her hotel room to think things over.
As she exited her room, she bumped into Miranda who was heading for the stage.
"Leaving already?" Miranda asked.
"Yeah, I've got a bit of a headache so I'm heading back to the hotel," she responded.
"Too bad, I wanted to hang out a bit today before I head back to Nashville," Miranda said with a smile.
"Maybe next time," Carrie said, smiling back.
Miranda headed off for the stage while Carrie headed for the exit. As she passed by the restrooms, she bumped into the man she saw earlier.
"Hey," the tall black man said.
"Hi," Carrie said, looking at the ground.
"Enjoy the show earlier?" he asked.
Carrie looked at him with a disgusted look. "You know she's married, right?"
"So am I, no big deal," he responded. Carrie sighed and started walking away. "If you ever want a taste of chocolate, you know where to find me!" he shouted out.
She started walking faster towards the exit when she realized she had left her phone in the dressing room. She walked back and passed by the man once again.
"Hungry?" he asked as she rushed past.
"No," she simply responded.
Once she got back to her dressing room, she noticed several missed text messages on her phone. She sat down and took the time to respond to all of them. By the time she was done, she realized that she had been in the room for a half hour. She got up and left, again bumping into Miranda as she left.
"I thought you had a headache. Feeling better?" she asked.
"A little better; I forgot my phone and got caught up texting," Carrie responded. Miranda started to walk away when she was stopped. "Hey Miranda!" Carrie shouted out. "Why don't you come to my hotel and we can hang out for a bit like you wanted."
The two shared a smile before leaving together. They both passed the man again, this time with no words exchanged. They went into their separate cars and headed towards the hotel. After a fifteen minute drive, they arrived and headed up to Carrie's room. Miranda sat down on the bed while Carrie tossed her bag onto a chair.
"Want anything to drink?" Carrie asked.
"Got any beer?" Miranda asked back.
Carrie retrieved two beers from the mini-bar and tossed one to her friend. She sat down on a chair and quickly drank the beer down while Miranda drank slower.
"Thirsty?" Miranda asked.
"It's just...I need a drink after today," Carrie said, grabbing another beer.
"We were on "Ellen", it's not exactly a stressful situation," Miranda said.
"It's not the show it's...nevermind."
"What? Did something happen to you?" Miranda asked as she stood up.
"No, nothing happened to me. Just forget it," she said as she finished her second beer.
"Tell me right now," Miranda commanded.
"Really, it's not important at all."
"Tell me or I'll break this," Miranda said as she grabbed Carrie's phone.
Carrie tried to grab it back but Miranda held it out of her reach and started to dig her nails into the screen. "Last chance."
"It's you!" Carrie shouted out. "I saw you...with the guy...on your knees."
Miranda slowly handed the phone back to Carrie and sat down. She looked like a small child that had just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
"How much did you see?" she asked.
"I only saw you for about twenty seconds but it was...you know, the last twenty seconds," Carrie said, not looking at her. "He caught me just as he was finishing and I left. That's why I was leaving early, it was just so shocking." Carrie stood up over Miranda and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You're married, how could you do something like that?"
"It has nothing to do with Blake, I love him," Miranda said.
"Enough to suck another man's..." Carrie stopped herself before finishing the sentence.
"It just happened; it was one time," Miranda responded, still with a shocked look on her face. "You can't tell anyone."
Carrie sighed and sat down next to her. "I'm not a good liar and Blake is a good friend, I don't know if I could hold something like this back."
"You have to, Carrie. It would crush him to find out," she said, grabbing onto her hand.
"I don't think I can."
Miranda looked around the room nervously before looking at Carrie again, only this time she was looking lower. Her eyes met Carrie's heaving chest, watching it rise and fall with each breath. She could tell by the pace that she was beyond nervous.
"Maybe I could do something for you to make sure that you don't tell," Miranda said, licking her lips.
"Like what?" Carrie said as she turned towards her and noticed her staring. "What are you looking at?"
"You have a beautiful body Carrie."
"Miranda?"
