The Big League - Drew Starkey

chapter twenty.

MALLORY'S POV

Our first week in Charleston was so much more amazing than I ever could have imagined. The cast got the scripts to the first episode of the new season and they had their first table read on Wednesday.

Drew let me take a look at the script and from what I read so far, it was insane. I was so excited for them to start filming and to see the rest of the show.

It was now Friday, the end of our work week, and Drew told me he had something planned for him and I once we were finished work. All he told me was to be ready by 7 o'clock that evening. I had no idea what to get ready for, so Mads told me she'd be more than happy to help me.

We got home from the studio around 5PM, and I was starving. Mads told me not to eat in case Drew was taking me somewhere for dinner. That made me suspicious of her being apart of this, which also made me excited and very curious as to what could possibly be going on. I didn't know what to expect, but I was looking forward to it.

Mads helped me pick out an outfit which was simple since I didn't bring any clothes that were overly cute or fancy. I wasn't expecting to do anything like this. I had a black top that had a deep U shaped neckline to show some cleavage, and it had long sleeves which helped since it was going to be a little chilly. I wore my white flare bottomed pants, which complimented the top so well. I had a pair of black heels with me, so I wore those to complete the outfit. I added some silver jewelry and Mads helped me with my makeup since it wasn't something I did every day. I curled my hair to create a beach-wave look to it, and I was satisfied with the way this outfit came together on such short notice.

Once I finished getting ready, I looked at the time and saw it was 6:45, only fifteen more minutes until I found out what was going on. I couldn't wait.

I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to fix any imperfections I saw. I wanted to look as good as possible.

"You look so hot, Mal." I heard Mads and I looked over to see her leaning against the door frame, her arms crossed over her chest and a smile on her face.

I couldn't help but smile at her compliment. This wouldn't have been possible without her. "Thank you so much for your help." I said now looking back in the mirror as I tried to fix my hair.

Mads now stepped into my room and stood behind me. I could see her reflection in my mirror, and I smiled as I looked at her through the mirror.

"Drew is a lucky man." She smirked as she looked me up and down. "Might have to leave Chase for a baddie like yourself." She commented and I couldn't help but laugh.

"If things don't work out with Drew, I'll know where to find you." I chuckled as I winked at her reflection.

Mads and I continued to joke with each other for another minute before I decided I should make sure I had everything I would need. I gathered my phone, wallet, keys, and my small black purse to hold my belongings. Once I got everything together, Mads and I headed out to the living area and I put my stuff down on the kitchen counter. I went into the cabinet and took out a wine glass before grabbing one of the couple bottles of wine we had on the counter and pouring some of it into the glass.

I took a sip of it, sighing in satisfaction. I was so nervous for tonight and I instantly felt the wine help calm my nerves. I finished what was in my glass before pouring myself a little more. I still had ten minutes to kill, might as well pregame a little.

"Ow ow!" I heard and I turned around to see Maddie Bailey coming out of her room, taking note of me. "Are you a beaver? Cause damn, girl."

"Oh my God," I chuckled as I shook my head. I did feel good, but I certainly wasn't expecting the comments that the girls were giving me.
