I spotted Matt on the way to his car in the crowd. I caught up to him and tapped him in the shoulder.

"Hey, baby," I said. He turned around and widened his eyes.

"Aw sweetheart, I got the part, I got the part!" He picked me up and hugged and I laid my head in his shoulder.

"How about we all go out tonight to celebrate? All the six of you and Susie and Christine and me? How about that?"

"And then we come back and go to my room?"

"Yeah sure," I said. He opened the car door and got in the front.

"Come on in," he said.

****************

"Come on, Susie, you just have to go. We're all going out for dinner as a celebration."

"You can celebrate and get drunk without me. I'm going out with David tonight as a celebration," she said.

"Ohhh,"" I winked. She giggled and locked herself in the bathroom.

There was a knock at the door.

"I'm almost ready!" I knew it was Matt. I opened the door and Matt came on in.

"Let me change my shirt and then we'll go," I said and going into the closet. I just tugged a tshirt on when I felt arms wrap around my waist.

"I think... We ought to spend a little time alone tonight," I heard his New York accent whisper in my ear.

"I guess so," I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled him in for a kiss and waited until we disconnected.

"Ah, I see you two are love birds again," I heard Susie say. I let go and jumped back.

"Let's get going!"

The commotion was out of control. The volume was louder than I have ever heard. The music was blaring and the food was delicious.

"Wait wait wait, so what are we doing tomorrow?" Ralph asked over the noise.

"We're going over the basics; where you'll be staying, costumes, lunch, stuff like that," I said. Matt had his arm around me and he squeezed my shoulder and kissed the top of my head.

"How have you guys met?" Tommy met.

"Man they slept together during Tex," Rob started howling laughing and took a big sip of his beer.

"We didn't sleep together," Matt said, grabbing my hand with his that was around my shoulder.

"Sure. Sure," Tom said. Rob put his arm Christine and smiled. Tommy grabbed another slice of pizza and started talking to Ralph.

"So why are you two lovely ladies on the set of the movie?" Emilio asked.

"I'm helping out with set design and costume and Essie's the nurse and helping with makeup, sitting with Francis and Susie and hair," Christine said.

"Cool. So when Tom split his head open from being a big shot, you'll sow him right up?" Emilio started laughing.

Matt grabbed another slice and cut it in half. He grabbed a pepperoni, folded in half and laid it on my tongue. I smiled and laid a kiss on him.

"I remember y'all on the set of Tex... Golly y'all were one of the greatest couples I've ever seen," Emilio said, lighting a cigarette. I smiled.

"I think so too."
