The Forgotten Dance Department | a Sammy Lawrence x Reader story

~Chapter 2 | Meeting Sammy Lawrence~

(Your POV)

I was walking through the studio with Wally, seeing a lot of men in the first department, called the Animation Department. Some people waved at me, some just smiled but there was one that actually walked over to me. "Why hello there Miss! It's such an honer to meet you, my name is Henry Stein. Who might you be?" He asked stretching his hand over to me to shake it. "Hello, my name is (y/n) (l/n)! It's a great pleasure to meet you as well, Mister Stein." I smiled and he chuckled. "Please call me Henry, I'm not so much of the fancy stuff, haha!" He smiled and I nodded. "Okay Henry, I'm assuming you're one of the animators right?" I asked. "That's true! And I assume you're here to start working for the Dance Department, right?" He asks and give him a thumbs up. "That's me!" I beam and he chuckles. "Well, Miss (l/n) I'm more than happy to become co-workers with you. See you around!" He waves and I wave back. "Bye Henry, see you!" I yell after him as I and Wally walk further to a staircase. 

"I must warn you, Miss (l/n).. Sammy can be a bit... Grumpy most of the time.." Wally suddenly says as we enter the Music Department. I can hear lots of different instruments playing along the hallways of the Department. "Hmmm, normally you'd hear him yell already.. Probably in his office! Come along Miss (l/n), please." Wally smiles and he gestures me into a long hallway. I see only men however, just like the Animation Department. Probably with a good reason, but I'll just let it slide. We arrive at apparently Sammy's office, his blinds are down and we hear him roaring and lots of cursing. "Hehehe.. He's always like this.. Don't mind it though, he's a ladies man!" Wally nervously laughs and knocks on the door. "WHAAAAT?!!" Was heard from behind the door. "Aye, Lawrence! There's a woman here, named (y/n) (l/n), she's going to be your new co-worker!" Wally shouts and I quickly cover my left ear. "My loud voice is the main reason why I wasn't picked as the lead singer." Wally blinks at me with a chuckle and I giggle. The door was shortly opened and I saw a man around his 25's, black hair, dark grey eyes and white skin. He was also slightly taller than me. "U-uhmm, hello. I'm (y/n) (l/n), and I assume you're Mister Lawrence, right?" I quickly say, when I caught myself off guard. "Yes, that's me. Welcome to Hell Miss (l/n).." He says, making me give a slight look of disgust. 'Why is he talking to me like that. We don't even know each other and he's already giving me the creeps.' I think as I hear Wally yell several yet insulting comments on Mister Lawrence. 

"I think you didn't let me finish, Franks.. I was about to say, a Hell with a beautiful angel can make a huge difference... Am I right?" Mister Lawrence said, slightly looking at me with a small smirk on his face. 'Oh I know your game, Mister Lawrence. Two can play that game...' I think and I huff: "You're talking about me now?" rolling my eyes, hearing a laugh from Wally after I said so. "I already can tell you two are gonna be wonderful friends! The construction workers and engineers are already on the third floor. I'll sure see you around Miss (l/n), and as for you Lawrence; she's a keeper! Make sure not to loose her..." Wally finishes and walks away whistling. "Shall we then?" I ask Mister Lawrence and he just nods. "Yeah, sure. Whatever.." He huffs and we both walk to the elevator.

The tour we got was nice. Mister Drew surely knew the best men in New York City, you can sure say that. Everything looked exactly like the blueprints and the note Mister Drew sent to the construction company. I was caught off guard again by how huge this place was. Personally the changing rooms were my absolute favorite! "Only a month to go Miss and you're ready to dance in this wonderful room!" The leader of the project called and I squealed of joy. "It sure is big.. Have you thought of your co-workers yet?" Sammy asked me and I nodded. Before I went to New York I made a few posters for in the local newspapers. My first reply came 4 days after the newspaper was published, from a woman named Melody Lawrence!" (no pun intended) I smiled and Sammy looked in shock at me. "That's my twin sister! How great!" Sammy smiled. "Make out great work Miss (l/n), we don't have much sun rays as you.." Sammy chuckled and I waved him goodbye. 

I looked at the clock and saw it was already late! I wished everyone goodbye and quickly ran to my house. I put on some casual clothes and put on my jacket again, walking outside.

I walked to the centre of the city, past all the little shops they had. Dress shops, hat shops, suit shops, plants and herbs shops, oh that's a grocery story! Might as well get there maybe, I don't have anything to eat..

After I did my groceries, I walked over to the next shop. It was an arts shop, which was also a shop for dancing shoes, clothes and small accessories for dancing. A little bell rang as I opened the door and I was greeted by an old man. "Why hello there Miss! Welcome to the Swaying Dwarf, what can I do for you?" The man asked. "I'm here to pick up a package for Miss (l/n), order number 1366792." I said and he took his note book to check it. "Ah yes! Dancing shoes and dresses. Just a moment Miss, I'll get it for you!" He smiled and I nodded. While I waited, I spotted someone familiar walking past the shop. It was Sammy! He saw me too and walked into the shop. "Why hello there Miss (l/n)~! What a wonderful coincidence, isn't it?" He asked and I giggled. "Please, call me (y/n) Mister Lawrence. We're not on the job now!" I smiled and he chuckled. "Alright, if you say so." The man shortly came back with a stack of five boxes. "Alright, that'd be it! Two boxes with shoes and the other three with dresses." The man said placing them down on the floor carefully. "Thanks a lot kind sir! What's the damage?" I asked and he took out a bill. "That'd be $600.00 Miss." He smiled and I gave him the money. I thanked him again and Sammy insisted to help me carry the boxes. When we got to my house I thanked him and asked him to come in for some coffee. "Why sure, I don't see why not (y/n). Let me help you with tidying everything up then, it's the least I can do." He offered.
