Chapter 86: Psychic Artistry

After the sneak peek and the promo, the guys and I went down to the first level to mingle with some of the other guests – out of politeness, and to see what people were saying about the footage. Everyone we talked to loved it, and they welcomed me to the show and I received various comments about how great I was in the sneak peek. And of course, a few people – mainly men – loved the vampire themed promo.

Embarrassing, big time!

Zak introduced me to several people he knew from other shows on the network, and a few other people who were specialists in the paranormal field.

After mingling for about an hour or so, I think Zak sensed I was starting to become uncomfortable, because he was the one who suggested we go back upstairs for a while.

"Thank you for the rescue..." I said as Zak, the guys and I took our seats at the table once again.

Zak smiled at me.

"No problem doll, I figured you were probably starting to feel overwhelmed," Zak replied.

"I was. I'm glad the feedback is positive and all that...but I'm not used to it," I said softly.

"Well, you better get used to it," Zak said, winking at me.

I smiled.

Suddenly, one of the security guards who had been stationed near the stairs, walked up to our table.

"Mr. Bagans? A Michael and Marti Parry are here to see you," The man said.

"Oh, great!" Zak said, as he stood up. "I'll be right back," he added, looking at me.

I smiled in response.

My nerves started kicking in again, unsure of what Michael and Marti would think of me, or my "gift".

"Would you guys un...mind going to mingle again? Or dance? Or something?" Zak asked, looking at the others, laughing slightly at himself.

"Well, since you asked so nicely," Ashley replied jokingly.

"They don't have to leave Zak, I don't mind," I said, not wanting to be rude.

Zak hesitated a bit as he looked at me.

"I just thought it might be better if it was just the four us..." Zak said, sounding unsure.

"It's fine Ali, Zak's probably right. It'll be easier to talk with just the four of you," Diana commented.

"Besides, it's about time we got some dancing going on up in here!" Cheryl exclaimed.

Aaron, Billy and Jay all groaned.

The girls and I laughed as they all started to get up from the table and, in pairs, went their separate ways.

"Alright, be right back," Zak said again, lightly rubbing a hand over my back before he started to walk off with the security guard.

I smiled a bit to myself and took a deep breath.

I hope this goes well...

"Oh, wait!" Zak suddenly exclaimed, jogging back a few steps to me. "I haven't told them anything about your parents or Emily...just to see if they pick up on anything," Zak said.

I nodded.

"That's fine," I replied.

Zak smiled and walked off with the security guard again.

Well...this should be interesting...
