Baby I'm Amazed {Jimmy Fallon Romance}

Chapter 1

I was stuck in traffic and I wasn't too impressed about it. There was no doubt about it; I was going to be later than expected. If I had been on my way home from set, that would have been one thing, but I was getting ready to film an appearance for The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.

I had an additional sketch that I was filming with Jimmy as well, so yeah, I was pretty stressed out.

"How much longer, Der?" I asked the driver. The same driver that I'm with every time I'm in New York.

He looked at me in the rear-view mirror, "I'm not sure, Mags. Traffic is insane right now."

I sighed and leaned back in my seat, "Should I call Allie?" I asked him, regarding my manger, to let the crew and Jimmy know I'd be late.

He took a breath and looked to his right then in the rear-view mirror, "Listen, I know a shortcut, you'll be there in five minutes."

I furrowed my brow, "Five minutes? Der -"

I was cut off before I could say more; he took a sharp right turn down these crazy side streets.

"Now don't freak out, okay?" He said making a left down the tiniest side street and I was pretty sure we wouldn't make it through but miraculously we did.

"Jesus Christ Derek, how the hell did you learn about this one?" I asked holding onto the oh shit bar.

He laughed, "You learn a lot of shortcuts when you drive for a living."

We pulled out onto the road that housed the 30 Rock Studio.

"Please let me tell this story on air," I said as he pulled up.

He put the car in park and turned to face me, "Do it, that would be hilarious!"

I laughed and opened the car door and saw security coming over, "Oh, I will! Thanks, Derek, I'll see you later!"

I closed the door behind me and saw him drive off, he honked the horn once and that was his way of saying bye to me.

Allie was outside when I turned back facing the door, "Almost late."

I sighed and nodded, "The traffic was fuckin nuts."

Allie nodded in understanding as she led me inside with one of the security with us, we walked quickly to the elevator and hitting the button labeled 8. Security was with us still, but it was quiet on the elevator, the only sounds were Allie's nails tapping on her iPhone sending e-mails or texts.

I followed Allie and the bodyguard down the hallway, walking past the dressing room for the musical guest, Fall Out Boy, as well as the dressing room for the second guest, Lucy Hale from Pretty Little Liars.

We reached ours and went in; I thanked the bodyguard before he closed the door after us.

Allie put my bag down that had my interview outfit, shoes and jewellery. My makeup artist and hair stylist were already there sitting on the couch talking to each other, they looked up at me with a smile.

"Ready to start?" Molly, my makeup artist asked standing up.

I nodded with a big smile, "Ready."

About forty five minutes later I was sitting in the dressing room in front of the mirror in the most ridiculous outfit, which was picked out by the Tonight Show wardrobe department. I had a lime green skirt with a hot pink top with a unicorn outlined in rhinestones and bright pink converse shoes on. I had my hair in curls with a headband with a big bow on the side. I added a few necklaces and some chunky bracelets and I was all set. We kept my makeup like I would normally have it so we didn't have to re-do it all over again when I was getting ready for the interview.
