You just got the call. You were going to be on the next episode of Saturday Night Live.
At this point it was just another way to get your name out there; being an upcoming singer there was no opportunity you could afford to turn down.
~~
You throw open your closet to find an outfit to wear. Settling on a pair of ripped, light washed jeans and a black crop top with some black high heals you begin to curl your long hair into loose waves and put on simple makeup.
Making your way towards the building you stop to get a coffee at the local Star Bucks. Ordering your usual you continue the walk, silently cursing yourself for wanting to get a "breath of fresh air." After about 10 minutes you come up to the correct building and just start to realize how nervous you are. You always get the jitters right before you go on stage or on air but you haven't even made it into the building yet.
You've watched some SNL episodes before but don't follow it regularly and started to regret not bingeing on a couple to get familiar with it. As you make your way in the building and towards your dressing room (which someone politely pointed you in the right direction) you start to see some familiar faces. You make small talk and sigh in relief as you get to the safety of your dressing room. After a couple of minutes, there is a slight knock on the door and it slowly opens.
"Y/N?"
"Yes?"
"Hi dear, I'm here to show you to the drawing table. You'll be meeting with the actors to make a plan for your episode." She said with a smile on her face.
You get up to follow her and her find out that she is a new hire here and her name is Audrey. As you're making your way down the hall and you pass a room that smells of weed. You try to peak in to see who is in there and your eyes meet dark, brown eyes through the crack in the door. With your heart pounding in your chest, you pick up the pace to follow behind Audrey as you didn't realize you had slowed down so much.
After about five minutes of walking Audrey stops by one of the doors.
"Here we are!"
"You aren't coming in?" Being a little hesitant.
"Noo, I don't sit in at the meetings but you'll do great!" She said, sensing your unease, "we're a little early so there's only a couple people in there."
Giving her a gentle smile you make your way towards the door to open it. Seeing Colin (who you recognized), a women who intruded herself as Aidy, and a guy named Mikey. They were all very friendly and there was no tension in the air as you took your seat beside Aidy and across from Mikey with Colin on his left. People were slowly filing their way in and the three of you were talking and laughing and you made it a note to greet everyone simply while doing so, even if it was just a slight smile their way - you wanted to make a great impression while low- key trying to find those brown eyes and who they belonged too. The meeting begin shortly after and Lorne had introduced you to the cast and quickly introduced everyone in the large room. After getting started, there were plans being thrown all over the place for the idea of your episode and it was a great feeling as they took in your opinions too. A little bit after the meeting had started, a very tall, lanky man walked in and shut the door quietly behind himself. No one seemed to pay him any mind as he did so but as soon as he turned around his brown eyes found yours. With your heart beating out of your chest again you managed to quickly gather yourself and try your best to offer a smile to him. He chuckled silently to himself and took a seat across from you a little way down the table.
~~
After a while everyone had finally agreed on the best skits and plan for the episode. Checking the time on your phone, you realize that it's nearly 11 at night. As everyone is slowly making their way out of the door you checked the notifications on your phone but quickly realized you were one of the last people to leave. Gathering your things, you hear your stomach growl.
"Hungry?" Brown-eyed man asks with a smirk on his face.
"I guess so." You chuckle and blush slightly.
"Come on. I'll take you to get some food." He smiles; warming the room.
"Pete is it?" You play even though you heard multiple people address him tonight.
"Mhmm" You couldn't help but feel the blush creeping back in.
"Lead the way."
