The Interview

abagel12/04/2019

I watch you all from my seat, the dichotomy is wild. Four well dressed pretty college girls, but the only one I have eyes for is the one who's just adjusting to her seat, bare cheeks visible from behind the computer chair she's in, long legs crossed and small bare toes playing nervously with a wire under the table. Your hands flit from playing with eachother, to cradling your unrestrained boobs, to folding over your equally bare belly. You are obviously breathing heavy and nervous as all hell. I tap you on the shoulder, and you look at me, in your element with your headphones on, a picture of your routine minus the obvious exception of any stitch of clothing. Your big brown eyes look desperate, and I try to settle them with my own. "It's gonna be fine" I mouth without speaking. Suddenly there's a voice from the overhead monitor speakers. "Are we ready to patch through, ladies? I'm sure we have a very exciting show to start." Oh my god. I've heard that voice on the news before, that's SM43's Henry Mathers asking us for confirmation.

I nod and almost lean forward for one last good luck kiss, before the voice over the intercom sounds. I'm equally scared and excited. This is our chance but, well first off I'm TOTALLY FREAKING NAKED!!!! Second off, what if we screw it up? This might be our only shot! I look to the girls, all of who nod at me. Abby puts her hand on my bare shoulder and I take a deep breath before saying. "Y-yes sir Mr. Mathers sir ... we're ready."

abagel12/04/2019

"Call me Henry, Mr. Mathers is my father." The room isn't sure what to make of the comfortable humor. If there's tension in this room, it hasn't leaked into the other studio. "Alright, anything I should know before we start? Gonna try and make this as comfortable for you girls as possible. Remember, it's just like any other show, you just get a little wider exposure here." I see you wince at the innocent use of the word "exposure". Heather chimes in. "No, we're all pretty comfortable. Liv looks comfortable. Abby looks less so, but she's always been uptight."

ENF-lover12/04/2019

I give Heather a look of utter disbelief. I mouth to her, "really? Now?" She shrugs and mouths back. "Relax," and blows a kiss for added measure. "Uh ... no sir. Nothing special I can think of? Girls? Anything you can think o..." I stop as Heather gets a huge smile on her face before Tessa quickly chimes in, "Nope!" Our eyes fall to Abby and Heather.

abagel12/04/2019

"Alright alright! Well then, let's get started. I'm going to start the show and introduce you in about 20 seconds, ok? Good luck, the whole team here is rooting for you!" Henry goes quiet as you hear a button press and a pop music jingle plays over the speakers. He reads through the sponsors and lets out a hearty greeting for the listeners. "How's it going, all? Thanks for listening to SM43 Top 40s, your immediate source for the latest, trendiest, most interesting music on the market! Now, we all like to love our communities, and there's no place like home! Here today, I have some very special guests for our morning show! They're an independent radio show hosted by the town college, and they've been making some special waves with their variety show. If you're listening at home, please don't touch that dial! I'm going to let Abby, Heather, Tessa and Liv tell you a little bit about themselves and what they do! Girls?"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

I'm still pretty nervous but I put on my game face and start us off. "Hello everyone my name is Olivia Holbrook," I motion for the other girls to introduce themselves. "I am Abby Gail, that's Abby GAIL, not Abigail," Abby jokes. Her intro is very confident. "I am Tessa Thompson," Tessa voice is a little shaky but not obviously. "And I am Heather O'Neil!" Heather says surprisingly casually. I pick back up. "And we are ENFRP the Shout!"

abagel12/04/2019

"That's great! Love the sound of it! Now all of you are students, correct? Tell us a little bit about what you do when you're not on the air. I have to admit for the listeners that I've listened in a few times myself. You're all such characters! How did you find each other, and decide to put these 2 hours of magic together for us every time you get in the studio? Is there any advice you'd give to your fellow communication enthusiasts?"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

"Yes," I start. "We all are students here at the campus. When I'm not on the air I'm either at my job, or hanging out with friends checking out the local music scene." Heather adds in, "with her boyfriend too!" I shoot daggers at her before the others talk about their lives.

abagel12/04/2019

Abby speaks up next. "Ok let's not tease her too much guys! Liv's the shy one, but she's brilliant. Me, I'm kind of a girly girl I guess. I like makeup and yoga and I'm so glad we have a coffee shop on campus!"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

"Yeah," Tessa adds in. "Liv's pretty much the glue that holds the whole show together. For me I guess I'm kind of the nerd. I like reading, studying, comics, and movies."

abagel12/04/2019

Heather smirks one of her trademark smirks. "I'm the quiet crazy one I suppose. I like horror movies and metal. I'm the darkest thing in the room. Although Liv over here seems to be upping the ante herself, because I don't know if I'm the craziest anymore!"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

My eyes get the size of dinner plates. "Heather," I mouth. Abby seems to be trying to hide her laughter. Even Donna seems a little amused by our antics.

abagel12/04/2019

I had almost forgotten Donna was here. I look over at her and she gives a shy wave. She doesn't look too bothered. I turn my attention back to your show. "Crazy stuff huh? I won't ask about the details, girls." Heather quickly responds, with unmasked glee. "The details are pretty transparent. She's not good at hiding them! But at the risk of getting off track, I'll just say she's certainly been bringing some eye-catching new twists to our show!" I just stare at Heather. It's like she can't even stop.

ENF-lover12/04/2019

"S-so you asked how we met?" Henry answers, "yes of course. we want to know everything about you girls!" I answer, trying to keep Heather from the mic for as long as possible. "Well Abby and i met my first week here and hit it off right away. She's like the big sister I always wanted." I give her a sincere smile.

abagel12/04/2019

I see you smiling, but you've also hunched up a bit. One leg is on the chair, the other foot still dangling below. It's up to your chest and your arms are now wrapped around your nudity. You're almost shaking. "Right back atcha Liv! But really, we're close. She's the one I always think of first whenever I need a friend. I think that's what makes us a good fit. We all look out for each other." "Always watching out.", says Heather, who is indeed still watching your naked body. Tessa speaks up. "What else would you like to hear about, Henry?"

"So! I guess it's time to get down to the grindstone! What makes your show tick, girls? Who does what, and what can your listeners expect when they tune in?"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

Abby takes this part. "Well our show is special because it's real. Most of our audience are our classmates. We're in the trenches with them, so to speak, they enjoy that real factor. As for who does what. Most of it is Liv and Heather. Heater runs and maintains the equipment, while Liv sets our time slots, and works around our schedules." Yeah, "Tessa says. "They're both totally awesome!"

abagel12/04/2019

I see you blush at the appraisal on top of your nude state. Heather speaks up now. "I'll accept that! Liv is the best though! She puts everything on the line for this show. Honestly, she's the kind of person who wears her heart on her sleeve." She looks right at you when she says the next part. "If she had sleeves right now!" She says that quietly so you're not sure how many people catch it, but still! I mean sure, there are other reasons you might not have sleeves...but the glaring one becomes very noticeable all of a sudden, more than it was.

ENF-lover12/04/2019

"Perfect Segway Heather!" I say as happily as I can with gritted teeth. "A big part of our show is our fashion portion, which always starts with what we're currently wearing! As you could probably guess I'm wearing something sleeveless! Girls why don't you describe your outfits?"

abagel12/04/2019

Heather starts up first, of course. "Well, maybe we could do something different today. I've already sort of described my aesthetic, but looking around the room there's some great outfits I'm really partial to. Liv, please please please let me describe yours!"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

The last thing I want is for Heather to describe my lack of attire. But I don't know what she'll do if I say no. "Sure Heather. Go ahead."

abagel12/04/2019

"Well! Olivia here is dressed rather comfortably and appropriately for the spring semester! She's got a real casual but pretty thing going on. Form fitting and it really brings out her flawless skin! Did I mention she's beautiful? I'm so jealous! The whole thing is topped off by her wearing her hair down, and some comfortable footwear that matches with her top and bottom!" She winks at you as she finishes. Then she whispers into the mic. "Also she's naked!" It takes a split second before you realize she turned her mic off right before saying that.

ENF-lover12/04/2019

My heart jumps out of my chest. Then I start to settle down just a little. "Thank you Heather for that honest view of my attire." I say with the fakest smile I can make.

abagel12/04/2019

"Of course Liv! I love it! And I'm glad we have such a good view of it here in the station!" Tessa interrupts her and describes her own outfit. Then Abby. It's your turn.

ENF-Lover:

"Well ... even though you heard it from Heather I'd like to describe her outfit. She's wearing this very nice green long sleeve sweater. In fact it reminds me A LOT of that dress you wore to Abby's party last year don't you think?" Heather suddenly looks a little more nervous. "You remember the one?" Abby steps in too. "I remember that one! It split up the side. And the one day you went commando to!" Even Tessa laughs and gives her girlfriend a good punch in the arm. She mouth. "You deserved that."

abagel12/04/2019

Heather just stays quiet, looking hurt. Then she smiles and puts on a brave face again. "Ah yeah! Like I said, I'm the crazy one!" She makes sure to look at you directly as she says crazy. Henry speaks up again. "What do you usually talk about after fashion time, girls. We're all dying to know what to expect!"

ENF-lover12/04/2019

"Well ... once a week we open our twitter and answer questions from our fans. Tessa finds the questions and we all answer them. Sometimes we all answer each question. Or one of us gives an answer to one question before we move on to the next."

abagel12/05/2019

"That sounds fascinating! Always good to stay current with the media!" There's a buzzer noise. "Well, we're running out of time. I sure would love to have you girls on a little longer, but we're about to change segments ourselves! But take it from me, you've got a bright future ahead of yourselves! Maybe even an appearance on tv!" I see you visually tense up at that bit. "Any last thoughts for us at SM40 girls?"

ENF-lover12/05/2019

"Just the usual from me. Thanks for tuning in everyone. And thank you very much miste...Henry for having us today!" Tessa adds in. "Yes sir thank you so much! And remember everyone tweet us about anything you want to hear about!"

abagel12/05/2019

Abby's next. "We loved reaching out to all of you! Keep listening if you like what you heard!" Heather is last. "And we'll be posting to our instagram to commemorate it! Follow us on twitter, instagram, and everywhere else for all the latest updates!"

ENF-lover12/05/2019

I look at Heather shocked. I mouth to Heather as we sign off, "no Effing way!" I smile and say, "thank you again Henry for having us! This is ENFRP the Shout, signing out!"

abagel12/05/2019

Henry presses a button. "You all did excellent! You definitely have our support whenever you need a little more outreach! I'll even talk to some of the other local stations, see what I can do. Thank you all for reaching out to us! Always love to support the future of radio! Bye now! Have a fantastic afternoon!"

ENF-lover12/05/2019

"Thank you so much Henry. we'd love another opportunity! You have a great day!" The line ends and I lean back breathing a sigh of relief. Tessa squeals excitedly and gives Heather a quick peck on the lips. I can't help myself. I quickly move across the room and give you a long kiss on the lips!

abagel12/05/2019

I hold you close, the intensity coming to a fever pitch as I kiss you back and squeeze you. I'm so happy for you!
