After 50

Friday night part 1

I didn't hear from Hugh, so I thought that he changed his mind which would make sense. I usually regret the decisions I make after 12 pm. But it's Friday and we are going to a bar with István and his friends so everything is as usual in a good way.
-What are you going to wear? - Jane asked me when she entered my room
-Just basic jeans with a black top, nothing fancy
-Okay...so the usual going out outfit
-I guess, but I will wear my new boots with it
-Oooo I love those. And what should I wear?
-I don't know, Uuuuuu wear your red top, your boobs look amazing in that!
-You are totally right, and what about my black skirt with that?
-Yes! And you can also wear boots
-Great, thanks for helping!
-Any time
-When will the girls arrive?
-Tara just texted the group that they left their appartement. So they will be here in about 30 minutes.
-Okay, I will turn the oven on. - we decided to eat frozen pizza before going out, and we always start the drinking at out place, so we bought the pizza and Lisa and Tara are bringing something to drink. We won't drink a lot, because there was one time when we bought tickets to a fancy club, but before going there we drank too much at home and we were wasted and couldn't go. The tickets costed 13 dollars each. After that we promised each other to only have 2 drinks before going out.
-And I will get dressed, and do my makeup
-Can you help with my hair later? - Jane asked
-Maybe we should wait for Tara, you know after that incident I don't think I should do your hair
-Right! I almost forgot about that
-How could you forget about that?
-I don't know it slipped my mind - Jane shrugged. A few months ago Jane asked me to do her hair, I said yes and we started to do it. But as we were doing it she started talking about his date the other day and I was so invested in the story I forgot I was curling her hair and left the curling iron on her hair and pulled out a huge chunk. Luckily it was a back peace and because her hair is so long you cannot even see it if it's down, but she cannot put her hair in a ponytail because then you can see a short chunk of hair. Since then I stopped watching anything while I do my hair, and never touched somebody else's hair.
-Did he texted you or anything? - Jane asked interrupting my chain of thoughts.
-Who?
-Hugh
-Nope, and I check my phone every 5 minutes
-Okay, maybe it takes a lot of time and energy to convince his producer to invite you
-Yes maybe...after all I am not a big deal, they probably want to invite more famous people
-Or Americans, because it is less money to fly from a state to another state than for you the fly to the US
-That is also true
-Have you seen the comments under your videos?
-I haven't really checked them why?
-There are people thinking that there is something between the two of you. Apparently he looked at you in a way that gave it away. - I started laughing because how could strangers know something that I'm not even sure of.
-Well at least they know something, because I don't. I have never been this confused in my entire life.
-Boys do make life difficult and confusing
-Yeah, but I though as they grow up and become man they mature and don't make life confusing.
-We all wanted to believe that, but as you see man still act childish.
-I didn't think Hugh was like this
-He isn't! I don't know him, but he doesn't act childish maybe it's just hard because of the distance and all
-Maybe we got lost in translation?
-Probably - Jane smiled and went out of my room
-Turn on the oven - I shouted after her
-YES! I knew I forgot something. Thank you, I turned it on
-Great

The girls arrived and we put the pizzas into the oven and opened the white rum the girls brought. I made mohitos for all of us. It's my special drink, I'm really good at making it. Well it isn't like hard or something, but people don't like to take time to learn things so they are amazed by my little cocktail making knowledge. I know the basic ones, but because mohito is my favorite that is the only one I can do without looking into my cocktail cooking book. For tonight I bought frozen strawberries, to make strawberry mohito instead of the classic one.
-So who's going to be there tonight? - Tara asked as she tasted her drink
-I wanted to ask the same question - Lisa said and Jane nodded
-I don't know, we only said that we'll invite our friends, so I'm bringing you guys and he's bringing his friends.
-So we only know István from the boys - Tara said
-I don't even know him - Lisa said
-You will get to know him, he is a great guy - Jane said
-Do you like him? - Lisa asked
-No! I don't like him, but he is funny - Jane said and we believed her, because we always share these kind of things with each other-
-Well István is single, and we are going to look for a girl for him, maybe Lisa, you will be the special one
-I doubt that, but I will help him find someone. I like match making.
-ME TOO! - I said - That is the main reason we are going out tonight.
-Good to know - Tara said

We finished getting ready and ate dinner, after that we watched an episode of  the office and got going. I like to get to the bar on time, and since we became friends the girls are coming on time too. Also because István called in advance we had to get there on time so that they don't give our table to someone else.
-We are here! - Jane said as she pointed at the logo of the bar
-Yes! István said that our table is outside - I said as I started looking for our table
-I found it! - Tara said standing next to three table, which were pushed together.
-Okay! I'm going to get the first round of drinks so what do you guys want? - Lisa said and she didn't even bother to sit down. We told her, and Jane accompanied her to the inside of the bar to order.
-There you are! - I heard a familiar voice
-István hi! - I turned to him. He was with three other guys, they were all wearing shirts, with blue jeans like it was mandatory. - I hugged IStván, and then introduced myself to the others. As I found out Tim, Bill and Viktor.
-So how did you guys meet? - Jane asked after they came back with our drinks and they also introduced them selves.
-We want to the same High School. -Tim said. He had brown hair and mustache which made him look like a movie star or just like someone who doesn't care about other's opinion.
-It was an international High School here in Budapest, and a bunch of rich people send their kids here - Bill explained
-It was great! Although you would think that the kids there are like assholes, but everyone was fed up with their parents so we did crazy things together. And because it was like a boarding school we can say that we have been living together for 10 years now - Viktor said with a big smile on his face. He had blonde hair, a little bit longer than the others and he had gorgeous blue eyes. It was hard not to get lost in them. Also how is it fair that boys can have beautiful long lashes but mine looks like shit even if I put mascara on it. Viktor had like a centimeter long lashes.
-So you guys were roommates in high school? - Lisa asked
-Yes, the four of us - István answered - after high school we all decided to stay here, so it was the obvious choice to move in together.
-And life has never been better - Bill said and the guys nodded. This is how I imagine bromance.
-Ella! Someone is calling you - Tara pointed at my phone
-Unknown number - I sighted and got up to walk away from the table and take the call. I hate answering the phone to strangers, but as a grown up adult I cannot not answer a call, what if my doctor is calling or if it's work related
-Hello! This is Bella Kurucz - I said as I answered the call
-Hi! This is Anne, I'm the producer of "The Fall", well one of the producers, and we were wondering if you would like to come to LA to the movie premiere of "The Fall". We would be paying for your flight to here and to home as well and offcourse the hotel is also on us. You would just have to be there to film content.- "The Fall"? I have never heard about this..but what if this is Hugh's movie, there isn't a lot of chance that Anne isn't related to Hugh's work and that she is just now calls me because of a movie premiere as I have been waiting for days for a call about a movie premiere. - You are Bella Kurucz the influencer correct?
-Yes, I am her. I am very flattered about your offer
-You don't have to answer now. It's even better for me if I can send you an email and you reply to that
-Ohh..okay, do you have my email or should I say it?
-Could you tell me? I'm sure I could find your email address somewhere but it's easier if you just tell me now.
-Sure! It's bella.kurucz.37@gmail.com
-Thank you! I will send you an email then, about our offer and what would you have to do for exchange. Do you have any questions for now?
-Actually I do. How did you get my number?
-Hugh gave it to me
-Oooo
-Hugh Jackman you know
-Yes yes I know, thank you.
-Okay, then I'll email you. Bye!
-Bye!
So this is Hugh's movie, and he did it. They invited me to the movie premiere!
-Who was it? - Lisa asked when I got back
-It was the producer of The Fall, and she asked me to go to the movie premiere of it. Which is in L.A.!
-Oh My God! - the girls said it at the same time
-YOU'RE GOING TO THE U.S.! - Jane said it, and it hit me. This all just got real, because I am going to America! So I started drinking because we were celebrating and also I cannot be a wingman for István without drinking.

Hey you! Nice seeing you read my book. I hope you liked it and I am very sorry for the long wait but school started and it takes up all my time. As usual leave your thoughts in the comments. Maybe in the next part Ella and Hugh will finally meet again? I am for one excited about it. I will try my best to write more often, but I do like longer episodes over shorter but more frequent ones, but I am willing to change so please tell me in the comments what do you prefer.
