Jenny got to see her ahead of time at the Opry Mills mall while she was getting ready to kiss her good luck. Jenny decided to attend in formal attire of a red dress and high heels. She got a seat near the front. Katie was going to perform at Grand Ole Opry. Katie had a unique setlist. She started with a cover of Livin' on a Prayer. It was like living on a prayer for her to have such an opportunity to get her foot in the door this way. It was followed by a cover of Kesha's 'Die Young'. This started to give Jenny feelings of guilt again from the subliminal messages it brought. It was a song about carelessness resulting in potential death. If either Jenny or Sarah-Ann hadn't jumped into Andy's arms quickly enough, the three could have died young at the hands of Carlos.
It wasn't until the end that Katie sang a Christmas carol. She invited Jenny up to sing with her. This was very unexpected. Jenny didn't see this coming and was all consumed by stage freight. Katie knew how wild she was and knew that she will easily overcome it. The cover they performed was Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas is You'. A second mic stand was set up just when Jenny walked up to the stage. They exchanged solo lines in the song's light intro. The nervousness was in Jenny's voice as she sounded very shaky. They then sang the first verse together as a duet. This was when the song really got going and Jenny's nerves calmed. They both danced in front of their mic stands, singing the rest of the song together as a duet. When they got to the lyrics 'Santa won't you bring me the one I really need', Jenny's passion for the song really showed as she shook her arms dancing. Katie responded likewise.
After their performance, there was a huge standing ovation for Jenny, as the audience cheered her name. She hugged Katie dearly. They got to spend the night together at a local restaurant where Katie treated her. It was the least she could do for calling up Jenny to sing with her on the spot. Jenny decided to have a few cocktails, particularly Sex on the Beach. This was a cue to Katie to get kinky later on that night. Then, they spent the night together at Katie's hotel room. Jenny was still a bit whoozy from the booze. But she was so happy to finally see Katie again and have her to herself for the night. She found it attractive that the good luck kiss was mutual, as Katie was also kissing her good luck for when Jenny had to come on up later to perform. She was horny thinking about that and wanted Katie to finger her again. She got on Katie's bed and spread her legs out. Katie gave her a good licking. Jenny got wet right away. Katie then gave her pussy a nice kiss. Kate told her it was her good job kiss, for a splendid performance. She then played with her some more by pinching the top of her pussy lip.
Jenny just wanted to orgasm already so Katie fingered her hard until she squirted. This time, there was no Sarah-Ann around so Katie got to taste Jenny all for herself. She enjoyed being the person only to ever make Jenny squirt, both when Jenny was sober and when she was drunk. They enjoyed a sexy shower together. Katie asked to get fingered herself. Jenny lifted Katie's left leg up and started fingering her while they were both being sprinkled in water by the showerhead. Katie moaned and started orgasming. They made out. They had a good night's sleep cuddled together naked in bed under a warm wool blanket. Katie didn't care that Jenny squirted on the carpet. That'll be the problem for the maid and next guests who uses this room.
The morning hit and Jenny was looking forward to another day with Katie. She wasn't too hungover but was feeling a lot of emotions and remorse. The signs to turn herself in get coming up. Be it the mafia game at the Montessori school, the McDonald's truck on the way to Nashville, or Katie's performance of Die Young. Katie was Jenny's closest friend that wasn't involved in the Carlos incident at the cottage. She decided to tell her.
Katie comforted her with a hug. She understood that wanting to get naughty in one's old childhood cottage is reasonable. People just want to be adventurous. Katie also tried to defend her actions by noting that Carlos was asking for death by being so sought on killing them, that he didn't drive carefully on the highway. She didn't want her friend with benefits to go to jail. Therefore, she offered to have Jenny live with her when she makes it big. The longer she stays away from her hometown, the less she'll be reminded of the incident.
Before the holiday break was over, they spent one last romantic time together kissing during the New Year's countdown. Katie was about to make it big with a deal with Sony Music. They were impressed with her performance at the Grand Ole Opry. Therefore, she was about to be very rich and decided to buy Jenny a plane ticket and they fly together to New York to watch the countdown in Times Square. It was quite the romantic kiss they enjoyed when the ball dropped.
When the holidays were over, Jenny returned to teach at her Montessori school again. She was welcomed by applause. The staff and students all saw her duet with Katie at the Grand Ole Opry. Connie admired how she was willing to do that. Most would have crumbled under all that stage freight. Knowing her reputation here, she now has this known association with Katie. Therefore, when Katie makes it big off of her first album, Jenny can just resign by telling the staff that she wants to work with Katie (when she in reality will just be living with her). Jenny can also use the excuse of wanting to stay away from her hometown to forget about losing her childhood cottage (without them knowing she was fleeing the scene of her crime).
By August of that year, Katie had almost all of the tracks completed for the album. However, there was popular demand for her to include a bonus track of her doing the duet cover of All I Want for Christmas is You. Jenny was drove to the studio and they recorded the single together. It turns out that it won't be a complete lie that she'll tell Connie regarding resigning, because she is actually working with Katie after all. They did have to pay royalties to Mariah Carey for covering her song in the album but it was more than worth it if covering her song makes the album a best seller. Jenny was tingling with joy thinking about how she is famous now. Her voice will be heard across the country and around the globe.
Jenny came back and gave her resignation letter to Connie right away. Sarah-Ann was just finished her sophomore year of college and barely had time to hang out with Jenny. She finally had time now that her summer semester was over. She hugged Jenny to congratulate her on so much success, especially with someone that they had a threesome with together. Jenny told Sarah-Ann how excited Katie was to taste her squirt without her around hogging it. Sarah-Ann giggled. The other guys from the program were also busy with school and barely made time to contact her some congratulations. She promised to give Andy a lot of her earnings from the album to compensate him for the grief she might have caused for getting him involved in a crime. Thankfully, it didn't really affect his studies. He received a lot of counselling with the resident's assistants. Andy reached out for help, claiming it was for the stress from studying. The help they gave for that was sufficient for him to overcome any stress or guilt from that crime and he made it through the academic year unscathed. Sarah-Ann also did the same at her campus.
By the time the album got released, the bonus track cover was an instant Billboard Hit. Taylor also gave her a video call to congratulate her. Her extended family there was surprised how out there Jenny was, considering she was very reserved when she visited them.
