   "Georgia!!"Mrs.O'Hare called out for me. Her voice was so loud I could hear it all the way from the colored bathrooms on the other side of the buildin'. I hastily finished my business and sprinted my way to the stage. It was already the next day. Just another day full of work to do.
   "You better hurry up and catch your breath darling or you won't be able to sing properly!"Mrs.O'Hare joked.
   "Yes ma'am."I nodded and headed behind the curtain to wait for my que. I tapped quietly as to not over ride the music.

"So this is love, mmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, mmm
And now I know (and now I know)
The key to all heaven is mine

My heart has wings, mmm
And I can fly
I'll touch every star in the sky
So this is the miracle
That I've been dreaming of
Mmm, mmm
So this is love"

   The room fell silent and I got a thumbs up from Rich, Mollie, and the others backstage. I sat there thinking about how it would feel for people to know that it was I who was really singing. However, I sat there patiently waiting for my next que as the actors Betty and Marlon on stage continued.

   Then eventually the sun began to set when Eugene and I had to begin to walk home before it got too dark. I carried my thick brief case down the hall as I said goodbye to everyone for the evenin'. Once I opened the main door I screamed with fright as a tall dapper man in a long trench coat stood on the other side. I would have fallen if it weren't for the table against the wall that held all the brochures and other important papers. Once I saw who it was I narrowed my eyes and pointed rudely to his face. Which is the opposite of what my mama taught me.
   "What the hell is your problem? Hm?! Why do you insist on talkin' to me all day?"I asked truly."If this is some kind of joke I am not afraid of you sir!"
   "You know my name, Georgia. Why do you insist on calling me sir? It's so formal too. Aren't we around the same age?"He joked.
   "That doesn't mattah'!"I blurted out.
   "Oh. Well I suppose age is just a number."He smirked.
   "What is going on?"I sighed gently holdin' my head. I then stood up straight and asked him to let me leave. But he placed his body right in the middle of the doorway, and I think we all know I wouldn't be able to push him out of the way so I just stood there and asked him what he wanted.
   "I want to see you again, Georgia."He leaned down more to my level. "I really should like to take you out sometime."He smiled brightly. I couldn't help but be shocked at his boldness.
   "W-what?"I eventually whispered out.
   "I want to take you out on a date with me, Georgia."He repeated. "Dinner. Maybe a movie? A walk under the moonlight. As long as I'm with you I don't care where we choose to go."He chuckled handsomely.
   "Sorry I'm late! I'll be there in a minute Georgia! I was just talking to Mrs.O'Hare about my next role!"Eugene shouted from at the very end of the hall.
   "Please leave, Marlon. If Eugene sees you he is not gonna be happy."I whispered glancin' back and forth between the two.
   "I'll go if you say yes to a date with me."He smirked down to me.
   "No Marlon you know I can't now leave!"I whispered louder.
   "Georgia?! Who is that your talkin' to down there?!"Eugene shouted getting closer and closer.
   "Marlon please leave!"I begged.
   "No way. I want that date with you, Georgia."He said standin' a still as a statue.
   "Alright! Alright!" I whispered.
   "Is that a yes?"He asked.
   "Yes! Now leave!"I pushed him through the door way. I saw him smile in front of the sun set.
   "Tomorrow. 8 o'clock. And wear somethin' pretty."I narrowed my eyes at him."And I mean your smile, Doll."
   "You are quite the persistent one. Ain't you?"
   "That's the only way to get what you desire isn't it? Thank you."Those were his last words before he was gone like the wind.
   "Georgia?"Eugene panted."Who were you talkin' to?"He asked.
   "Eugene what are you talkin' about? I was standin' right here just waitin' on yo slow ass to hurry 'long."I smirked playfully.
   "Oh! Well I'm sorry if I must make sure that I have a descent role in our up coming play!"He said with enthusiasm and I just laughed at his over-the-top actions. That must be the actor in him.
