Transparent

Part 6

Yesterday had been quite an emotional day. You had wrapped shooting and it left a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, your hard work had paid off and soon you would be able to see it all on screen but on the other hand, you weren't sure if you would get picked up for a season 2 and if this would be the last you saw of many of the people working on this project.

You did have the feeling that your director Nina knew but she refused to let anything spill so you were as much in the dark as the rest of the cast and crew were.

You did stop your pestering once she let it slip that there might be an announcement at the party held tonight in celebration of being done shooting the show.

You invited the girls over to get ready together and have pre-drinks before arriving at the actual party. You shared a few bottles of wine and boxes of pizza, getting nicely tipsy and having a good time together before deciding to actually get ready.

"How does this look?" Anna stepped out from your bedroom in a gorgeous dark green dress twirling to show the open back. Her red hair fell in waves down her shoulders.

"Amazing!" Emilia gushed, "Please let me do your makeup, I have an amazing idea!"

"Uh yeah, of course, I was just waiting for you to offer it," Anna smirked but dutifully took a seat and let Emilia do her magic. She and Amy had already changed into their outfits respectively wearing a blue pantsuit and a red dress. It shouldn't surprise you to say they looked incredible.

You had been convinced to wear a black velvet bodycon dress that Amy had found after digging through your closet. It hugged your figure tightly and despite worrying that it was too much the girls told you that was absolute nonsense. You'll turn heads in that dress. You also couldn't help but feel incredibly sexy wearing it, so that was also an obvious perk.

"You looking to score tonight?" Amy asked you.

"Nah," you shook your head taking a sip of your wine glass.

"You sure? Not even Sebastian?"

"The two of you do look awfully close and not just because of the whole 'marriage' thing," Emilia added.

"There's nothing going on between me and him and I'm not looking to score," you took your phone from the charger.

"Alright babe, but he does look at you like he likes you more than a friend," Amy hummed. "That looks incredible Emilia." The three of them began gushing over Anna's makeup look and finally left you alone.

He did not like you. Did he?

Argh. They're incessant comments made you more confused than you wanted to admit. The flush you felt was simply set aside as you being drunk and not due to the fact that you slightly wanted everything they said to be true.

Can't wait to see you tonight.

Speak of the devil. A silly smile fell on your face as you eagerly responded. The Uber couldn't get here soon enough.

The rented club looked amazing. It wasn't a too tight fit so there was still breathing room even with loads of people milling about. You could also see a door leading out into an outdoor area which would be nice after working up a sweat on the dance floor.

"Let's get some drinks," Anna shouted and grabbed your wrist and lead the way to the bar, ditching Emilia and Amy by the door who looked like they didn't mind already preoccupied with each other.

It was a free bar, which Anna intended to use to all her might. Nina had kindly paid for it describing it as her way of thanking you all for bringing her vision out into the world.
