"Please take a seat" he gestured towards the leather chair in front of the desk that he was sat behind. Ryan looked bemused at my shell shocked expression, he looked very casual in chinos and a sweater, his eyes were not giving anything away.
"Erm...ok" I still couldn't quite take in the scene in front of me. I sat down, trying to contain my squeals under my breath.
"I'm a good friend of Rick's, I don't know if you know this but I work on a TV series....Rick sometimes calls me if he hears something special on open mic night and I sometimes come down and check it out. Well, tonight he rang and I have to say he seemed rather excited about you" Ryan leaned back in the chair and folded his arms.
"Really?" I said, trying my hardest to remember to breath!
"Yeah, so here I am, there you are, and there she is"
I instinctively looked around to see who he was talking about but there was no one behind me, I turned back to him and noticed a smile was forming on his face.
"she?" I asked
"Yes, Lindsey I have to say I was very impressed with how you held the room out there, the emotion in your performance was electric, and your voice, is amazing...it could be even better with a little coaching" Ryan started rubbing his chin with his hand
A little child giggle escaped my mouth, it was like some sort of surreal dream, here I was in a back office of a bar being complimented by none other than Ryan Murphy.
"We have been auditioning girls for the last few weeks for a new character Glee, but none of them have completely fitted what we had in mind, and me coming here tonight and seeing you, well it's like you were born to play her"
"Wait, you want me to be in Glee?!!!!" I said in almost a whisper, still trying to contain myself from exploding right in front of him.
"Woah, ok, let's slow down a little. I guess you know the show then" he chuckled
"there are still a lot of other people that need to see you and you will need to audition alongside the love interest for the character, I can't go into too much detail but if we meet...let's say...first thing Monday we can talk more and take it from there" he reached inside his jacket and pulled out his wallet. He took out a card and passed it to me. I took it tentatively, like it was made out of tissue paper and Could dissolve at any moment.
"What time?" I said, a little too quickly
"10:00am sharp, the password for security is 'harley340' go to reception and ask for me"
I quickly grabbed a pen off the desk and wrote the password down on the back of Ryan's card.
"Mr Murphy I -"
"Please call me Ryan" He interrupted.
"Ok well....Ryan .....I can't quite believe this is happening and I have a feeling your going to vanish in a cloud of smoke or something any second but if there is any remote possibility that I am not actually dreaming I want to thank you so much and I will totally be there on Monday" I clasped my hands together tightly to keep in my excitement.
Ryan laughed "I'm not going to disappear in a cloud of smoke, and yes you should most definitely be there on Monday, this is actually the first time I have invited anyone down to the studios from Ricks bar, so keep that in mind" he stood up and shook my hand again and left the room, leaving me alone, I sat there for a few seconds trying to take everything in that just happened.
Then I jumped up out of chair and started jumping up and down, squealing with excitement
