*August 1983*
(Y/N) and Andy host a 1950/1960s themed party for the release of Andy's new single.
(Y/N)'s POV:
Andy's released a new single. It's called "All of My Love." Him and Barry worked on it the week I was having my panic attacks about my Mo dream. To celebrate with his friends in the business, he wanted to throw a little summer bash but make it 50s themed.
We went to a thrift store earlier in the week and looked for vintage polka dot material that we could use as table runners. Then, I went to a local party supply shop and got red and white streamers, red and white balloons, and other party decorations.
On the invites, we made sure to let everyone know to dress vintage aka 1950s. It's kind of crazy how I would dress "vintage" in the future. The styles of the 70s and 80s are my favorite. Now look where I am, living in that time.
Andy decided on a white shirt, black jeans, black Converses and he sleeked his hair back into a cowlick. He had a leather jacket he would keep with him, but depending on the weather is if he would wear it.
I decided on a black and white polka dot short sleeve dress, black heels, white headband, pearl earrings and necklace. I gave myself fringe bangs so it looked more vintage.
Of course, Andy invited his brothers, Karen and Rich as well as Livvy. Other people in the business were invited, but I was closer to Karen, Rich and Livvy.
Andy and I carefully crafted the DJ's playlist by including people like Buddy Holly, Tommy James & the Shondells, The Everly Brothers, the Mills Brothers, etc.
Guests were already arriving by the time I made it downstairs. I don't exactly have exactly the best stature with heels.
I hear a whistle come from my left side. Of course it was my Andy.
"Look at the gorgeous babe that just walked in," Andy said winking at me.
Of course, I turn crimson red at his comment. He was standing with Barry talking about music videos becoming a new fad.
"Andyyyyy really?" I replied giving his cheek a quick kiss.
I notice I left a kiss mark. Oops, I forgot I was wearing lipstick tonight.
"Andy should leave that there tonight," Barry said gesturing to his face.
"What?" Andy asked confused as he looked at his reflection in a nearby spoon.
"I sorry," I said giggling.
"Wait does this stain?" Andy asked grabbing a napkin.
"It shouldn't. It's just lipstick love," I said laughing.
"He's so serious ain't he?" Barry asked me chuckling.
"Yes sometimes he is," I replied to him.
"(Y/N)!" Karen called from the gate.
I left Andy and Barry to finish conversing and headed to Karen.
"Hey KC!" I replied giving her a hug.
"How are you doll face?" Karen asked.
"Good! Where's Rich?" I asked her after she pulled away from the hug.
"He's running late. He had problems with his car in San Diego, which is where he was staying at last night for some piano convention," Karen told me.
"Oh ok haha," I replied.
Karen saw Maurice and Robin and walked over to them to mingle. I went back inside for a while to relax my feet cause heels were not my thing.
I was sitting at the kitchen breakfast bar and got off the chair and fell into someone.
"Seriously I'm sorry it was my fault," I heard an accent voice speak.
I looked up and it was Mo.
"Uh we got to stop meeting like this haha. I'm so sorry Mo. What did you want?" I said still in his arms.
"Just wanted to see if you were ok cause Andy is not budging from Barry haha," Mo replied.
"I just had to sit down cause my feet hurt. Um you can let me go now," I replied with a laugh.
"Oh right sorry," Mo replied nervously.
"I'mma go," I said awkwardly pointing to the door.
"I'll be back out in a bit," Mo said with a shake in his voice.
I went and found Andy to see if he wanted a drink or anything.
"Actually I'll come chill with you for a bit darling before they serve dinner," Andy replied sweetly.
"My feet are killing me," I said sitting on a patio chair.
"Why didn't you wear sneakers darling?" Andy asked laughing.
"I wanted to dress more like the way I visualize glamour 50s girls would have dressed like Lucille Ball or even Audrey Hepburn," I replied.
"Yerp you always like making a statement," Andy said kissing my hand.
We enjoyed the rest of our oldies themed party.
