"Come on girls! It's almost show time!" Joseph comes into the dressing room clapping his hands. "Lily, I need you to come and see me."
"Sure." I look at him through the mirror where I was applying my make up. I finished putting on my wet lipstick, and followed Joseph into his office.
"Close the door, please." Joseph says as he sits at his desk.
I close the door and sit on the couch. "What's up doc?"
"You're having your own spotlight tonight."
I remain silent. This was the biggest news, when you have your own spotlight it means you get a raise and you perform on your own. But the thing is I will be alone, anything can go wrong. I'm very insecure about myself but really? Me?
"So how bout it?" He speaks up.
"Joseph this is big! I never thought-"
"Well people have been noticing you and they think you should have your own spotlight. You're marvelous darling." Joseph smiles.
I start to smile like an idiot. "Thank you so much!"
"Anytime darling, you know that combination where we play the Pussycat Dolls?" He laughs. He knows I hate that dance.
"Yeaaaah?" I slowly answered. I swear I better not do that combination on my own. One time I did that with my group and a creepy stinky drunk came from behind and tried to fuck me.
"You will have to be doing that dance, JUST FOR TONIGHT." He raises his voice for he can convince me that it is for tonight.
I take a long sigh and answered, "Yes."
"Good! Now here's your costume and make sure to wear your long black wig." He smiles. Thank god Joseph is gay, he has very good fashion taste and can understand when a girl has issues.
"Got you." I grab the costume and head back to the dressing room. I change into lingerie, the black basque was beautiful. I put it on, tried my best to be confident. I put on my long black wavy wig. I look so unrecognizable. The end of the wig was up to my butt, and it had front bangs. Joseph came into the room, "If I weren't gay, I'd fuck you."
I let out a really loud laugh, "Thanks Joseph."
"You're about to be on!"
My smile vanished off my face. Those words made my stomach twist. I felt like I was gonna vomit.
"Aww, it'll be over before you know it." Joseph smiles. I shrug, and the girls came in along with Abbey, she greets me with a smile.
"I heard you got your own spotlight!" She squeals.
"Yeah, I did."
"Well congrats! You'll be fine, I promise. And hey there's this really good looking guy sitting in the booths with four guys. Keep an eye out for them." She winks at me and walks away. She knows my taste; sometimes. But now I'm going to be more of a nervous wreck because I'm going to be looking out for this guy and if I do find him attractive, I'm going to be staring him down. God, why did she have to tell me.
"Lily you're on!" Joseph calls out.
I felt like I have was going to die.
