New York, New York - Mike Faist

TWENTY-FIVE

*jocelyn*

We were sitting in our dressing room when Sam burst through the doorway. We all whipped our heads around to him.

"We're going out tonight!" He exclaimed

"What if we were changing?" Portia yelled

"Good for me?"

We all groaned.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Clubbing. We're getting a limo. On me! So meet at the front of the theatre at 8:00pm sharp!"

He scurried out of the room leaving all of us confused and a bit excited. I turned toward my girls and started laughing. Eventually, we were all on the floor laughing so hard we couldn't breathe! Eventually, we got ourselves together and back on our chairs.

"Are you guys going?" Ella asked

"Of course!" Portia cheered

"Yeah." Dani concentrated on her eyeliner

"Probably." I put on my character heels

We talked until the announcement for places came on and we walked to the wings. My eyes searched through the darkness and eventually found Mike. I creeped over and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around, and once we saw me he smiled warmly.

"Are you going tonight?" I asked

"Where?"

"Out. With the gang!" I fidgeted with his hands

"First of all, never call us 'the gang' again. And second, yes I am going."

"So we'll drive here together?"

"Yeah."

"Can we drive Poppy!" I asked excitedly

"Well honey, I don't want you to get a ticket. So, we should probably get a taxi."

I frowned but agreed. I walked onstage to make my entrance and winked at Mike, making him flustered.

.  .  .

"So, we are meeting here at 8:00?" Portia asked taking off her makeup

"Wait! I'm the only one who's under 21! How am I going to get in?" I asked nervously

"Follow me." Eloise led to to Sam and Mikes dressing room

She knocked a few times before Sam opened the door and invited us in. I stood beside Mike as Ella and Sam conversed quietly.

"Do you have it?" Ella asked

Sam smirked and reached into a drawer pulling out a card. He handed the card to me and I saw my I.D photo. How did he get this? You know what, I don't want to know. The only thing off was they made me a year older. So I was 21! I smiled at Sam!

"This looks good! Think they'll let me in?"

"If they're skeptical, they just take a look at your card and boom! We're in!"

"You are the best!" Ella pulled me out of the room

We screamed quietly and ran back to our dressing room.

.  .  .

"Mike!"

"Yes, doll?"

"Purple or black?"

"Purple!"

"Thank you, baby!"

I took the purple dress off the hanger and put it on. Unfortunately, I couldn't zip it up all the way.
