"Coming to you live at Park Central Los Angeles, this is ANN Afternoon with Carie, and today, we have a special guest!" Announced the show's host, Carie Umber.
The forty-year-old host pushed her hair back, giving a sly smile in front of the crowd. "Guess who it is?"
Screams could be heard from the audience. They came for the special episode of the famous afternoon talk show.
"Ahhh! I love you, Cole!"
"Cole Adams!"
"Cole Adams!"
"Cole is the best!"
"Cole is so fucking sexy!"
"Calm down, girls! Calm down! Geez!" The host called the ladies' attention while grinning widely at the crowd. "I'll have him first before you do!"
"Ahhhh!"
"No! No, Carie! He is mine!"
Clearly, the screams from the surrounding ladies outroared the teasing of Carie Umber. She could not help but chuckle at their reactions.
It was challenging to tame the surrounding excitement, but with the help of the production crew, they managed, and only then did Carie speak again, "Yes, our special guest for today is the famous swimmer athlete, smoking sexy - six-pack abs! Fucking hot! He not only honored our nation with gold medals, but he is also one of the promising male models of today's generation!"
More screams could widely be heard from within the park. The cameras zoomed in and out to reflect the ladies, blushing at the thought of their special guest.
The ANN TV Network had set-up a distinct set for that afternoon, as a way for Carie Umber to have the program from within the park.
"Ladies! Are you ready to drool?!!" Carie Umber asked.
To say that the hoots got louder was an understatement. The host of the show was practically covering her ears, her eardrums were ready to erupt from the noise.
"Jesus! Hold your horses, ladies! He is just a man!" Said Carie Umber.
Laughter easily replaced the screams from earlier.
"A hot fucking man!" Added Carie, and that ultimately brought back the howling. "Let's give it up for... Cole Adams!"
With background music, applause, and more shrieks, Cole walked out from backstage, flashing his killer smile and twinkling eyes. He looked absolutely to die for in his casual wear, a plain white shirt with a coat on top plus skinny jeans.
Yes, he was wearing simple clothes, but it wasn't the outfit that made him hot, his built, his gorgeous face was what everyone was ogling at.
When he gave Carie a kiss on the cheek, she acted to faint and it made Cole laugh boisterously. He did not fail to give flying kisses to his fans, and he waved at them at the same time.
The flock had envy eyes, and it made Carie say, "Hey, don't kill me with those eyes, ladies." She shrugged and added, "I'm just doing my job!"
There was really no need to get jealous as everyone knew that Carie Umber was married and has a loving family with three kids, but the girls just could not help but want to be kissed by the handsome man on the stage.
After Cole and Carie settled on the couch, the interview finally began. The moment the ladies have all been waiting for; the golden question.
"So, Cole, are you seeing someone these days?" Carie asked with a smirk on her face.
The crowd was in an uproar, eager to hear his answer.
"Ummm... Haha!" He glanced at his face and gave a wink, the reason for them to shout at the top of their lungs. "I'm not seeing anyone, steady."
"Ahhh! Date me, Cole!"
"I fucking love you, Cole!"
The cheers from the audience left Cole Adams smiling from ear to ear. He said, "I love you too!"
"Goodness, gracious, somebody, please turn down the heat! Everyone has the hots for this guy!" The host complained. "Unfortunately, we are in the outdoors."
Carie threw in more questions before the first commercial break came, and Cole finally had some time to take a break. He checked his phone and saw five missed calls and two messages from Joan, asking him where he was.
He smiled and simply answered back with a text, "I'm at the Park Central. Interview. ANN Afternoon with Carie."
He quickly put back his phone, missing to read the succeeding messages of Joan.
When the commercial was over, the show went on and Carie resumed the interview.
"So tell me about your family, Cole," asked Carie, sitting opposite to Cole.
"Well, it's no secret that I am an orphan. My parents were good friends of the Hales, and after their passing, I'd been under their wing since. Of course, up until I was old enough to handle myself," Cole answered.
His tale left a pang in everyone's heart that their expressions turned soft.
"I'm really sorry to hear this, Cole," Carie sympathized.
"Oh, it's fine. I was in my first year of high school when it happened. It was a long time ago," revealed Cole. He then placed his hand to his chest and added, "Thank you for everyone's concern."
"So that's how you and the newly appointed CEO, Christopher Hale, became best of friends?" Carie asked.
"Yes, that's right," said Cole. "We are like brothers."
"Well, we shall proceed to another set of exciting questions, Cole. One that the ladies have all been wondering," told Carie.
She smiled at Cole and panned her eyes to the girls in front rows. She returned her gaze on him and asked, "What is your type of girl?"
Cole laughed and said, "Well, in all honesty, I like blondes in general, but specifically, I like... I like a girl who is independent, a girl who knows exactly what she wants, and one with a loyal heart."
"Sounds like that is one particular woman, Cole!" Objected Carie, and it left the crowd filled with jealousy in their eyes.
He merely laughed at their assumptions, however. He did not confirm or deny it.
"Have you ever been in love, Mr. Adams?" Carrie asked.
The question made Cole Adams uneasy. He massaged his nape and smiled widely before taking a deep breath. He said, "Of course, I have. Once. I believe everyone has been through this experience."
"Well, tell us, Cole! Who was this lucky lady? Did it never worked out?" Carie asked with her eyes wide open.
"Uhhh... I don't know. I prefer keeping her private information a secret. Besides, she is not anyone famous, and she is living her own life," he responded. "But ultimately, I wasn't her type so nothing ever happened and I forgot about it already, but this girl was the very first person I ever liked."
"Wow! Cole Adam's first love! I really am getting an exclusive over here! Lucky me!" Told Carie. She pursed her lips with excitement over the revelation.
Cole has had many interviews in the past, but this special episode of ANN Afternoon with Carie, gave him a special incentive for giving more details about his life, something to push up the ratings of the show.
Thus, he did not hold back. This was the specific instruction of his manager.
"When did this happen?" Carrie asked, curiously.
He shook his head and said, "This is the last info, okay? A year before I went to college. So it has really been a long time." He pursed his lips and added, "Ten years ago?"
It relieved the audience. They sincerely believed they had a chance since Cole Adam's first love was still back in high school.
