Today was Mike and I's one year anniversary! I was in the dressing room texting him when Eloise burst in the door. We all turned to her in confusion.
"Big news!"
"What?" Dani asked, applying blush
"I have a date!"
We all gasped and turned toward her. Eloise was like me, a hopeless romantic but on a smaller scale. She had been trying to go on a date with anybody for months now. I don't know why she couldn't have, Eloise is stunning!
"With who?" I asked
"Freddy! He just came up and asked me! Can you believe it?"
"That's amazing, Elle!"
"Yeah, he's gonna be totally head over heels for you!" Dani exclaimed turning back to her blush
"We could have two cast couples!"
"Mandy is going to be jealous. She has a thing for him 'cause she figured Mike was a lost cause." Portia applied more lipstick
We all laughed and the announcement for five minutes to places came on. We all pushed out of the dressing room after doing one final check and went to the stage wings. I found Mike and took his hand in mine. He smiled warmly at me.
"Hey!"
"Hey."
"Happy 1 year anniversary!" I hasn't seen him all day, he woke up and left earlier
He leaned down to kiss me but I pulled back. He cocked his head to the side out of confusion.
"Lipstick."
"Ah."
The overture started, the crowd roared, and I walked to my girls to get pumped for the show that was to happen in mere
seconds.. . .
At the curtain call after we all took our group bows the curtain didn't go up but Portia pushed me up to the front of the stage. Freddy did the same to Mike. We walked toward each other in confusion.
"What's going on?" I laughed looking at my friends
"I don't know!"
Sutton came on with flowers for me and Freddy with flowers for Mike. Sutton's mike turned on as she handed me the flowers. They were beautiful.
"So, today," Oh no. I turned to Mike and he knew also, "It is these twos one year anniversary! Maybe some of you didn't know but Mike and Jocelyn, or rather Jike, actually are dating both in and out of the show! Let's give them a round of applause!"
The crowd cheered and I finally kissed Mike on the cheek. He blushed and pulled me closer into him. Finally, the curtain came down and we all dispersed slowly but surely. I walked with Mike back to the dressing rooms.
"So, what are we doing tonight?"
"Fancy dinner. On me! Walk in the park. And then we are flying out to your moms place for your late birthday with her."
"What! Mike what about-"
"I already told Georgia and she is totally on board! Swings are already ready to go for the next 3 days!"
"You're too sweet."
I entered my dressing room and set the flowers on the windowsill. The girls turned to expectantly taking off their makeup. I started doing the same before giving them what they wanted.
"Mike and I do have plans tonight."
"Spill!" Elle insisted
"Fancy dinner, I don't know where, a nice walk in the park, and then he's flying me out to Vermont to see my mom!"
I began to take out my hair and listened to the conversation around me. Finally I had everything turned in and I was heading out for a short stage-door appearance.
I walked out and the fans cheered. I went to the first one and took a picture and signed her playbill. It was this for about 10 minutes before I went back inside. I saw Mike waiting for me across from my dressing room.
"Hey!"
He smiled at me and we talked all the way back to the apartment. I set my bag on the kitchen counter and Mike alerted me I had about an hour to get ready for our dinner. And our flight was in five hours. We went to our room,and started packing for Vermont. It was cold there as it was November. After that, I went to the closet and sorted through some dresses. I chose my grandmothers black dress from the 1950s that puffed out at the bottom and some pearls. I curled my hair and did a simple makeup look with a dark lip.
I exited our room and saw Mike standing tying up his shoes. Mike wore a black button-up top, black formal pants, and black formal shoes. We looked like we were going to a funeral, but that's beside the point"You look beautiful!" He wrapped his arm around my waist
"Thank you, now will you please tell me where we're going?" I asked as we left the apartment
"Nope." He smiled to himself
