The Show Must Go On [Mason Mount]

12

They arrived at Tammy's and Mason rang the doorbell of the enormous house before taking Alice's hand. Tammy opened the door and led the pair into a large, modern living room.

"Were you guys in the changing room again?" Chilly shouted out causing everyone including Mason and Alice to burst out laughing. Clearly when informing the other guests that the pair were going to be there that evening Chilly and Tammy had told everyone about their changing room encounter.

"They are never going to let us live that one down, are they?" Laughed Mason. Leah, Tammy's girlfriend, and Lauren, Declan's girlfriend, came over to Alice smiling. Leah said that the girls were in the kitchen having some wine while the boys were having a quick fifa match before they all ate. Squeezing Mason's hand as she left his side, she followed the girls into the kitchen where Sophia, Kai's girlfriend, was sitting round a large island in the middle of the room. It was an amazing kitchen but you could tell that it was seldom used for cooking, and more regularly used for small gatherings like this one.

"So you and Mase then," Lauren giggled. All of them sat there like teenage girls at a slumber party talking about their crushes. They chatted for ages talking and drinking together. Alice felt really comfortable with the girls. She told them all about her career as well as when the boys came to watch the show, making all the girls laugh when she revealed that they all cried a little.

They rejoined the boys a little later on, cuddling up to Mason on the sofa, as they all shared some pizza. They then decided to have a game of cards against humanity which caused so much laughter and shouting as some of the rudest cards were read out. It turned out that Kai Havertz was quite the dark horse with that game, always managing to have the perfect response to each card and winning by a country mile. Tammy flicked on the TV to check the highlights from the football matches, but the channel was currently on the one show playing highlights from London's 'West End Live' performances. What they were not expecting was to see Alice on the TV singing Eponine's lines in 'One Day More'. She buried herself in Mason's arms as she heard her voice coming out of the large speakers, trying not to watch as she knew she would probably pick up on a mistake she made. Everyone else was cheering her and clapping. After the song was over the girls promised that they would all come and watch Alice in the show as soon as they could get tickets.
