Transparent

Part 3

The whole cast had been given 2 days off to rest while a new set was built in preparation for a big scene. You had no idea what they were building but to be honest you didn't care - you had two days off to do just what you wanted. Perfect.

You had just settled into your couch with a book you had been meaning to read for awhile when your phone pinged.

Mark: Games night at my place?

Anna: As long as there's booze.

Classic Anna. She also really knew how to hold her booze, something you felt quite envious of.

Mark: Don't you know me well enough by now to know that there will always be booze?

Anna: True. Who else is coming?

Mark: Y/N? Are you coming?

Y/N: I'll be there.

It would be fun to just hang out without work involved.

Mark: Then Sebastian is coming, too. ;)

You ignored their teasing being used to it by now. You also ignored the warm feeling in your chest at their words.

Anna: Great.

Sebastian: Do I have a say in this?

Mark: No, the missus has all the power in this relationship.

Y/N: ;)

Sebastian: I guess I'll see you tonight.

You could almost hear him sighing over the phone. This was going to be fun.

Sebastian had kindly offered to come pick you up, claiming it was on the way. It was obviously a lie, but you weren't about to complain.

"You're almost like my own private chauffeur," you joked as you entered his car.

"Anything for the "missus", right?"

"Exactly," you smiled at him.

Mark's place wasn't too far away from yours and after a short drive and a quick detour to a supermarket, you arrived carrying bottles of wine and various snacks.

"You're finally here! I was left alone with Mark for far too long," Anna came running to the door as soon you had pressed the doorbell, "Uh! You got wine."

Her "tears" were wiped away as soon as she got her sight on the bottles. She even helped carry them to the kitchen as you took your jacket off. That's how much she liked to drink.

Greetings were made and after a glass of wine or two, everyone was pleasantly buzzed expect Sebastian, the designated driver. Mark had offered to let him stay but he simply pointed to you and said gotta drive the missus home.

"Let's play this game." Mark held a green box up he had found on his shelf, "we pick four cards each. The cards have different words written on them that you have to use and then one player picks a job. The player who has picked a job gets to interview the other players and choose who they will employ," he explained.

"Got it," you nodded taking the four cards he was handing you.

"I'll sit this one out," Anna said, "Gotta pee."

"Buzzkill," you yelled at her retrieving figure, receiving a finger in return.

"Sebastian you take four cards, too, and I'll pick the job," Mark said.
