WILLIE SOON JOINS US AGAIN as the boys finish eating. "If ghosts could get sick, I think you guys definitely would," I say as Reggie brings another meatball sub to his lips."Man, I missed pizza," Luke says as he takes his last few bites.
"Reg, are you kissing that meatball sub?" Alex asks making Willie, Luke, and I look at Reggie who, as Alex said, was indeed making out with his sandwich.
"What? It's what you do with the things you love!" Reggie remarks with a shrug.
"I take it you're all enjoying the feast?" Caleb asks the audience from the stage, which tells me it's time for what he likes to call dessert. The cheers and whistles back.
"See you in a flash," I say winking at the boys before teleporting to the opposite end of the stage from Caleb.
"So many delicious sights," He continues looking at me for a moment and then back to the audience. I internaly shudder as he continues. "So many tantalizing sounds. But, your eyes still hunger for more. Something sweet. Something... savory." Caleb adds as he makes his way up to stand on the grand piano.
"How many newcomers do we have in the club tonight?" Caleb asks. A few arms raise, including the boys who are still sitting at the table. "Ladies. Let's show our guests, how we do dessert. A one, two, three, four!" Caleb says as the same beat we had before plays again and the crowd cheers loudly.
I leap off the stage to do the dance I remember rehearsing often throughout the ddecades. Caleb and I take turns scat singing as the music continues with the trumpet. "Watch me make a move. Watch me make a move. Yeah," Caleb and I sing.
"What you gonna do? What you gonna do?" The dancers sing.
"I said watch me make a move. Watch me make a move, oh," I sing.
"What you gonna do? What you gonna do?" The dancers sing and I can see Willie and the boys singing along.
"I say, watch me make a move. Watch me make a move. Yeah." Caleb sings as he walks away from the piano and to the center stage.
"What you gonna do? What you gonna do?"
"Watch me make a move. Best you ever knew." I sing as I walk to the beat towards Willie's table and hold out my hands for him to take. He takes them as I vocalize and pull him to the dance floor.
"Life is good on the other side of Hollywood. Life is good on the other side of Hollywood. So welcome to the brotherhood. Where you won't be misunderstood. Life is good on the other side of Hollywood," Caleb and I sing as Willie and I dance to the choreography together. I take his had, twirling him away before spinning him back to me.
Luke, Reggie, and Alex stand up from their seats as a dancer dressed in pink dances with each of them. Caleb pulls me and another female dancer to him and pushes us to Luke and Reggie. Luke catches me before I can lose my balance. I chuckle as I right myself before asking, "Would you like to dance?"
Luke blinks at me for a moment before processing what I asked him. "Uh. Sure," Luke accepts my offer. And with that, I take his hands and start to lead a simple swing dance as Caleb continues to sing. I do a few steps to show Luke what to do and he's a surprisingly fast learner and does the steps correctly.
After a few movements, Luke lets go of one of our intertwined hands and raises the other, and twirls me around twice before pulling me back toward him. Since the movement was unexpected I ended up having my hand on his chest and my body closer to his than I thought they would.
His face is centimeters away from mine and as much as I try I can't tare my eyes away from his. I can feel our heavy breaths from how closer our chests are to each other. I clear my throat and take a step back entwining both our hands again and I smile before going back into the dance steps. This time I turn both of us as my finishing lyric comes up. I let go of our hands and belt loudly the last words of the song, "OF HOLLYWOOD!"
