On May 7 and 8, they were marked by a lot of rehearsals from both bands, practically all day. Jade wrote his article for the British musical magazine XXX and there was another photographer taking pictures of the band. Jade was very happy to be in New York. Always at night, she goes out with the boys to get to know New York nightlife a bit.

Thursday, May 9, 1974.

The two bands took a day off to stroll around New York again. In the morning, everyone went to see the New York kart, and Roger decided to fly a kart. Roger loves speed and he took a kart racing course and race car as well as offensive and defensive driving. He loved to drive. Everyone saw Roger's skill in the kart, including Jade.

After Roger drove kart, he decided to fly a Mustang at the London race track. The blonde would drive for thirty minutes. He called Jade close to him and the blonde talked to one of the car makers, saying that Jade would be his co-pilot and that they were to bring a jumpsuit and helmet for her.

- WHAT? "I'm sorry, but I will not go into that Mustang with you." You're crazy.

"Fuck Jade, keep me company?" You said yourself that you love to ride with me, "said the blonde, smiling.

"Driving with you already feels like I'm on a roller coaster, you're already a danger, you imagine riding a Mustang, it's death right," Jade said looking at him with a start.

Everyone laughed at the fear of Jade and Roger.

"So you do not want to get into the Mustang with me?" - Asked the blonde to be upset.

"Rog, I'm sorry, but no," Jade said in fear.

"Okay," said the sad blonde. "From today, forget about my rides, after all, you're afraid to ride with me.

"It's not Rog's fear," Jade said, looking at him. "I like to ride with you by car, I swear.

- No, you do not like it - Said the blond already putting on the pilot's uniform and Jade was watching him seriously - From today without rides for you, leave everywhere with your car.

- Rog, for that, do not be sad with me - The girl stopped in front of the blonde and he was really sad and she sighed defeated - Okay, I'm going to get into the Mustang with you flying.

At that moment Roger opened a beautiful smile and rolled Jade in the air and kissed her cheek affectionately.

"I promise you I'll be careful and you'll love this Mustang ride with me, you just have to hold the seat a little." The blonde smiled.

"Only for you to make me do this, Rog," Jade said.

The girl then put on her overalls and helmets, as did Roger. Then they got into the Mustang. Roger sat in the driver's seat and Jade in the passenger seat. The doors were closed. Then Roger started the car and started to accelerate and felt the power of the engine of the car and smiled looking at Jade.

"You're going to love it, Jade. Just hold it in the passenger seat, kitty. Yeah, he's wearing his seat belt. "The blonde smiled.

"If I die, it will be yours," Jade said, looking at him.

"You'll feel adrenaline, kitty." The blonde smiled.

A few seconds later he was allowed to start the car and Roger started riding the Mustang at the New York Speedway and Jade screamed inside the car with fear and adrenaline.

"ROGER, I DIMINISH THE SPEED," she shouted.

Roger smiled and accelerated the car. The blonde reached the maximum speed of the car, at the racetrack, making turns and other things, showing the skill he has as a driver and Jade was impressed. She screamed in the car and Roger smiled even more. In time she stopped screaming and held only the passenger seat. They stayed on track for thirty minutes. As soon as the flag was lifted, saying that Roger was already on the last turn, the blond looked at Jade and smiled and gave a Mustang stick horse.

"Relief," Jade shouted in adrenaline.

Roger then continued on to the end of the lane. As soon as they arrived and Roger hung up the car, Jade quickly took off his seat belt and got out of the car, totally shaking. She took off her helmet from the car and was a bit pale with her frightened countenance. Roger took off his helmet and smiled at her. Everyone applauded and praised Roger.

"Congratulations dear Rog," Freddie said, impressed.

"It was very good, my friend," said Brian, smiling.

"It was really great," John said.

- Rog, you really were great, you drive very well, congratulations, I must admit this - Jade told Roger he smiled - But, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to hit you, because I almost died from the heart, crazy.

Jade kissed Roger's face affectionately and then tried to hit him with his hands and Roger smiled and ran Jade and she ran after him, in the middle of the race track , like two teenagers.

In the afternoon, they toured other parts of New York. Jade was enjoying herself so much, that by these days, she was not thinking about Ryan and how he was in Vietnam.

At night, Roger and Jade had dinner with all the boys in the hotel restaurant and decided not to go out at night, because the next morning the band would have a rehearsal very early for the show the following night.

After everyone had dined each one went to his room, minus Roger and Jade. They went towards the hotel pool and sat on the edge of the pool, just wetting their feet and staring at the stars in the sky.

Jade was thoughtful, staring at the stars in silence, until she touched her engagement ring she'd won from Ryan and felt a remorse, for she had not thought of the groom for the past two days. Roger noticed that Jade was touching the ring, and the blonde looked at her closely.

"Do not worry, angel, Ryan's fine," Roger grinned at Jade.

Jade touched the gold ring again and looked at Roger.

"I feel like he's okay, but I confess I'm feeling remorse in my heart," Jade said, looking at him. "Because in those two days, I did not think about Ryan, I had so much fun with all of you here that I did not think about Ryan at the moment. some, just now.

Roger smiled at her beautifully.

"Do not worry about it, angel, sometimes we do not remember all the times of the people we love, but that does not mean that you do not care about her anymore or that you do not love her anymore. Roger said. "Do not feel guilty.

"Thank you for being by my side, Rog, you've been an incredible company, my friend. "You look wonderful, Rog, and be sure that the ideal moment will appear for you, I'm sorry for everything that happened between you and Josephine . I wonder how much you loved her or how much you still love her, do you?

Roger looked at Jade and sighed thoughtfully.

"I need to confess something, Jade," Roger said, looking at her. "I never really loved Josephine. I really liked Jo, because of her company, because of the sex we had, to accompany me in places, she was very much a companion, but it was never love.

Jade looked at him in disbelief, not believing.

"So you just went with her on company?" "How could you spend so much time with her just because you liked Josephine's company? Rog, having a relationship with someone is already difficult, imagine without love.

"I know Jade, you're right, but if I was with Josephine all the time, I wanted to forget an unrequited love," Roger said, looking at Jade deeply. "I'm still in love with a girl who did not care to forget her, I began a relationship with Josephine, but I have never forgotten this unrequited love.

Jade looked at him in surprise, what she was hearing.

"Rog, you never told me that before," the brunette said, looking at him. "Why did not you tell me about it before?"

"It was not necessary, it was not important Jade and you were happy with Ryan and I did not want to bother you with my problems," Roger said looking at her and then looked at the stars.

"And may I know who this girl is that does not match your love, Rog?" Sorry if I'm invading your privacy and if you do not want to, you do not have to say who the girl is, "Jade said looking at him.

Roger sighed and looked at the stars and then looked at Jade and wanted to scream and say that the girl who does not correspond to his love is her, there in front of him, but the blonde controlled himself and said nothing.

"I'm sorry, Jade, but I do not want to tell you who this girl is, not now, maybe one day," Roger said.

"Of course," Jade said, looking at him. "I respect your opinion, my friend. The day you feel the need to say who the girl is, I'll be here to hear you, Rog. Be sure about it. But, you want some advice: Fight for her, do not give up easily, Rog, no matter how hard it is.

Roger smiled sadly.

"Thank you for the advice, Jade," said the blond, looking at her in love without her noticing and kissing Jade's face.

Jade then hugged him tightly and rested their heads on each other's shoulders, staring at the stars.
