The Newest Member
I was walking down a street in L.A. when I happened to see someone I recognized in the distance. Actually, it was more like 30 somebodies that I recognized, and I walked a little faster to see them. Slowing down and not paying any attention to where I was going the last 30 yards or so, I accidentally bumped in to one of them, spilling their coffee all over their jacket.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I can get you another coffee, I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there, and I'm really, really sorry. Are you – Chris Colfer?"
"Why yes I am. And it's really okay, I can get another coffee and jacket. It's no problem whatsoever. Who might you be?"
"Jessica Neil. I'm a really big fan of yours. And the cast of Glee and AVPM are behind you. I'm such a ditz sometimes. Could I please get you another coffee? I would feel so much better, and I ruined your jacket. Is that the new Marc Jacobs collection? Those cost a fortune! I am so, so sorry about this. I feel like a total idiot. Could I at least buy another coffee?"
"Sure. Let's head back to the lot and grab some food. Okay?"
Chris freaking Colfer just invited me back to the Paramount lot where they film Glee to get some food and a coffee. "Of course. Which way are we going?"
When we arrived at the lot, I was trying not to fangirl all over the place. I mean, how much could one person restrain themselves at a place like where they shoot Glee?
"Let's head down to the staff lounge. What do you want to eat? We have everything."
"Would you happen to have Cold Stone sweet cream ice cream with strawberries and raspberries?"
Amber replied this time. "Uh huh. I'll get you some and be right back. Chris, do you want a diet coke float?"
"Who do you think I am? Was I kidnapped by aliens? Of course I want a diet coke float. Thanks Amber!" Chris gave her a quick peck on the cheek, and then she ran off to go get my ice cream and Chris' float.
"Hey Chris, can I go take a walk and look at the locations? I love the show, and am really quite curious as to where you guys film."
"Sure! Just don't break anything!" Chris started laughing and I did too, as his laughter was soon contagious to the entire cast sitting at our table. Mark, Cory, Naya, Heather, Chris, and I were all cracking up when I finally spoke again.
"Okay, I'll try not to be the usual ditzy me that you were introduced to earlier today. I'll be back soon; just don't eat my ice cream!" I popped my ear buds in and was jamming out to my Glee playlist when I guess that the casting director heard me singing as I was looking at the 'auditorium'. He pulled me aside and asked if I had an acting or singing job somewhere, and when I said no, he offered to have me audition and hire me for a new role they were writing in. I would be a series regular! I said yes, and practically skipped back to the cast.
"Guess what? Guess what? I am going to audition for a new part and probably get hired according to the casting director!"
"Rock it gal!" Mark shouted.
"Sweet!" Naya and Heather said in unison.
Cory said, "Great job!"
Finally, Chris got a word in. "What are you planning on singing? Because I am totally available for duets." I burst out laughing at that, and he looked insulted.
"No, I'm not laughing at you, just the fact that you are willing to offer your incredible talent to a girl that you just met and haven't even heard sing or seen act before. It's really cool and different from what I'm used to back home."
"Different from what you're used to… Are you-"
"NO! I mean, I'm a big LGBT supporter but I'm not lesbian or bisexual, nor am I transgender and only guys can be gay, so that makes me straight! I have no problem with LGBT people; it's just that I have been called some pretty awful things that are associated with homophobes and their opinions of LGBT people. I'm sorry if I offended anyone…"
"It's okay, sweetheart. You're safe now, because no one here is going to do anything to you." Heather spoke such calming words while I cried on Chris' shoulder. Everyone on the cast was so supportive, but I wasn't used to that. I couldn't get used to that, because I wouldn't be here for long. I wasn't going to be on the cast, and I wouldn't win that audition because I have no acting or singing experience. I couldn't get the part; it was too good to be true.
"Jessica? Are you awake?" My eyes fluttered awake as I heard a voice that I thought that I recognized.
"Hey Jess, your ice cream's in the freezer when you want it. You're in my trailer. You passed out after sobbing your eyes out." Chris' voice was melodious, and I heard a sound like metal crashing through glass.
"CRAP! Watch out when you come up to the kitchen, there's some glass." I heard Chris mumbling something about sai swords. As I came up to the kitchen, I slipped on some shoes that I found on the floor.
"Chris? I borrowed some shoes that I found... I couldn't find mine. Where's the freezer? I'm kind of hungry. Thanks for taking me back to your trailer. Sorry about passing out on you, I've been kinda stressed out over the last couple of weeks."
"Freezer's in the kitchen, in the drawer thing below the fridge. It's really no problem, and spoons are in the drawer on the left side of the stove. What are you planning on singing for your audition?" My audition is tomorrow and I have no clue what I am singing. Thank god I have a great repertoire of songs that I can sing on a whim.
"Maybe 'Popular' from Wicked? How many songs am I supposed to sing? And what time is it? Thanks for saving my ice cream." I'm eating ice cream in Chris Colfer's trailer and talking about my audition for Glee. This has to be a dream. Damn. I got brain freeze. If I can feel brain freeze, this definitely isn't a dream. Oh my god. This is real! Chris' voice snapped me back into reality.
"You are supposed to sing one song, but because you don't have a script to practice and recite, you should do two songs. Maybe you should do 'Popular' and 'Defying Gravity' to show off duets and solos? I would be willing to sing Galinda's part from 'Defying Gravity' for you if it's in your range. If not, maybe you should sing a newer song, like 'Forget You'. I am choosing all songs from the Glee repertoire aren't I? I really hate it when I do that. I think it's around 1:00 PM? Your audition is tomorrow, so you can practice and Mark, Naya, Heather, and Amber want to go shopping with you. I have no clue why Mark is going, but you will be going shopping around 9:00. I have some clothes from your apartment for you, Amber picked out some fashionable clothes. They're in the bedroom, where you were asleep."
"Clothes from my apartment?"
"Yeah, they needed to pick some stuff up so they used your phone to call your apartment complex and let us get some of your things. We also called in to your work to have you take vacation for the next week. Interesting business you have, 'Cupcake!' is it?"
"Yes. I own it. I have wanted to be a pastry chef since I was 12 and decided to buy a business. Singing and acting comes naturally, and I've never had a lesson or performance. It's all really new, but I have wanted to be on TV for as long as I can remember. It's just been a dream, but I guess that it could become a reality."
"Just to let you know, you've already got the part. They got a tape of you singing that one day and they already have your script. Why do you keep telling me and the cast all of these really personal things? I have no problem with it, I just feel like you keep telling us a lot of things that only really important people to you should know about." Chris is right; I do keep telling them a lot of stuff. I just feel comfortable around them. I guess that I should tell him instead of sitting here like an idiot.
"It's just because I trust you guys. You have all been so supportive, I really trust you with practically everything. Sorry if I'm overstepping my quaint friendships, but I just feel like you guys understand." Wait, he said that I already have the part? What? I have the part! Oh my god!
"Wait, I have the part? I have the part! Chris! Thank you so, so much. Thank you! Chris! I have the part!" I attacked Chris with a giant hug as he tried to speak.
"Jess! Calm down a little, okay? Yes, you do have the part. It has nothing to do with me, just your talent. I have a copy of the script here if you want to look over it."
"Yes! I would love to look at the script. What's my character's name?" I got the part! Yes! As we were looking over the script and me bursting out in excitement, Chris finally got some words out.
"Your character's name is… Lizzy, or Elizabeth. Like Kurt's mom. Wow. They really know how to get these fangirls going."
"Crap. Thanks for reminding me, I have to go call my best friends. Wait, could I call them with you here so they'll believe me? Pretty please with redvines on top?" Yes. I just used AVPM to guilt-trip Chris Colfer. My life rocks.
"Okay and I hope you have redvines to back up your offer. Who are these best friends?"
"Jules, Logan, and Harry are these best friends, and they'll all be searching for me by now because I was supposed to be at the shop by now. Shit. Let's call, shall we?" Logan picked up the phone.
"Dammit, Jess. Call when you'll be out all night. HEY GUYS, JESS IS ON THE PHONE! Sorry, Harry and Jules are still upstairs looking for evidence. Where are you?"
"Jules is a girl and the other two are boys. Now be nice." I whispered to Chris before I put it on speaker.
"JESSICA MARIE NIEL, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT? I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU ALL DAY TODAY! Now, where is your fabulous ass so I can come pick you up?" Classic Jules.
"Well, you'll never believe it, but I'm in Chris Colfer's trailer on the set of Glee! I got an audition and have been here since yesterday afternoon!" Chris talked next to help my case.
"Hello everyone! It's true; Jess is all safe and sound on the set of Glee in one Chris Colfer's trailer, eating ice cream for breakfast with me." Jules started talking again, not letting Harry get one word in.
"OH MY SWEET CHEEZUS, YOU'RE WITH CHRIS COLFER? OH MY GOD!"
"Yes, I am on the set of Glee. Now I gots to go shopping with Amber! Bye!" At that I hung up the phone.
"Rude much?" Chris asked jokingly.
"Well, with these people you have to hang up before they can start talking. That's the way it works so deal with it or get outta here. Just kidding!" I was joking around with Chris like he and I had known each other forever. Once again, my life rocks.
"Chris! Can you come in here? Playing Kurt you should have some fashion sense…" I can't find anything to wear. I mean, I really can't find anything fashionable to wear, and I really need fashion to go shopping with the cast of Glee. They're superstars, and I need to look good.
"Sure, but I must tell you my fashion sense isn't all that Kurt's is, so don't get your hopes up."
"I'm just not sure what to wear going shopping. I'll be getting new clothes anyway, but I need to wear something good."
"Yeah, I understand. Happened to me when I first joined the cast, and I was embarrassed publicly with a t-shirt and exercise pants. Ooh, wear the red hat with the black jeans and that red one-shoulder top. That good?"
"You just saved my life. I totally missed the red top! Thanks Chris. By the way, don't go looking for your Chewbacca backpack if it goes missing. It will turn up if it does."
"Don't you touch Chewy. He has important things to do and places to go. Can't wait to practice for your audition!"
"Hey white girl! Are you ready to go shop?" Amber was so awesome. She brought me ice cream and was taking me shopping.
"When am I ever not ready to shop? Not that you would know, but really. Who doesn't like to shop?"
"Well, that's true. Let's get in the limo and get outta here!" Limo? We're going to go to shops in a limo? My day just got even better! We got into the limo and I noticed that Mark was studying me in a curious manner.
"Like what you see Mark?" He was basically checking me out, and I he was already acting kinda secretive.
"Well, it's my job to interrogate you. Make what you wish out of that." So he was interrogating me. All the pieces fell into place!
"Whatcha want to know? I'm basically an open book, so question away." I'm not as open as I'm making myself sound, but I trust the cast. They seem like the kind of people you have lifetime friendships with.
"Well, who's your favorite character on the show? Actor? How about who you have a crush on? Sexual orientation? Relationship status? I have lots of questions that are semi-important when you are working with us. Hell, they're pretty damn important questions, so answer them!" Well, this was gonna get awkward fast. But, I trust them so it's ok.
"Starting with the first question and making my way down the list, favorite character is Kurt or nice Quinn, not bitch Quinn. Blaine's great too. Favorite actor, hmmm. I have three, so I'll name them in order, Chris, Darren, and Heather." I gave Heather a smile at that and she blushed a little.
"Who I'm crushing on out of the cast is a toughie. My gay-boy crush is on Chris because he's adorable, but my possible crush is on Darren. Don't tell Darren, but I think Chris suspects that I'm crushing on him. I'm straight, but if bisexuality is necessary, I'm okay with that. I'm single, and have been for 2 years. My friends come with some benefits, I guess you would say. All of our love lives are DOA, it seems. We've tried being in relationships together, but it just didn't work out… I'm done with that. I'm also 22, so I can drink. Any other odd questions?" This was gonna get fun and interesting fast. Not so awkward, but interesting. Naya chimed out next with a cat call.
"Ooooh! The newbie's crushing on Chris Colfer! This is gonna be fun! And she can drink! Clubbing tonight anyone? We'll even get Chris to come this time, I'm sure of it." I am going clubbing with the Glee cast! This is a dream; it has to be a dream. It's all too good to be true!
"Not tonight, white girl. Jess' audition is tomorrow, so we'll go when we get confirmation that she's on the team, because we won't take no for an answer, will we? You're gonna be a series regular!"
"Okay, but let's go easy on clubbing tomorrow night. I've got to get my script memorized and probably record some songs the next day." You're really backing out of a night of extreme partying and clubbing for scripts and recording studios? Really? With Heather and Mark discussing an upcoming episode, Naya, Amber and I started talking about songs and other meaningless chit-chat.
After about 15 more minutes, the limo pulled to a stop and I saw crowds running to the side.
"Crap. Anyone got Sharpies?" Amber must have forgotten that we would be MOBBED when we got out of the limo, so we were going to be signing a lot of autographs and photos.
"Yeah, I got some that I stole out of Chris' kitchen. I figured that we might need them. Don't tell him that I took them though!" I responded to Amber's inquiry. I was going to be signing autographs for people! This would be so incredible! The limo driver came and opened the door, and I heard screams. There was one boy in the front who wasn't screaming, just looking up hopefully and when I got out of the limo he spoke quietly.
"Could I please get you guys' autographs for my sister? She couldn't come because mommy and daddy say that she's really sick and isn't coming home for a long time and it's her birthday." He was so polite and quiet, so I told him to wait just a moment.
"Amber, could I do a favor for a little boy? He's getting autographs for his sister who's in the hospital and I think that we should bring him back to the studio and get everyone's autograph for him." I felt really bad for the kid because a few years back I was in the same situation.
"Ms. Neil? Your sister was in a car wreck. She is injured pretty badly and in a coma. She is giving signs of waking up within the next week. Your parents are already at the hospital. She's at the New York Memorial Hospital in room 617."
"I'll be there in 48 hours or less. Please let my parents know." I crumpled into a heap in the hallway of my work and cried. My sister was in a coma in the hospital. She was injured in a car wreck. She didn't wake up a week later. It would be months before we saw any improvement. Right after her birthday, she started slipping away again, only to wake up right after my parents' 50th wedding anniversary.
"Jessica? Are you okay? You collapsed in the limo. Jackson, that's the little boy's name, is heading back to the lot in the limo as soon as we go inside. He'll wait with Dianna at the studio for when we get back in a few hours. Need some water?"
"Yeah, just remembering my sister when she was in the hospital a few months back. I'm okay though. No beverages necessary. Let's go in. Did we deal with the screaming fans?" I just hope they don't pry at this. It is hard enough as it is with my sister under hospice care without the whole cast pitying me for it and not treating me like a real person. At least that little boy would get to give his sister a present before she slipped away into oblivion too. Alyssa doesn't even talk coherently anymore. Happy thoughts Jess. Happy thoughts.
"Well, let's not dwell on unpleasant thoughts. Fangirls have subsided, so let's go!" Amber walked with me into the first 'mall' we were going into.
"What's your favorite designer?" Naya asked innocently.
"I've never even touched a Marc Jacobs scarf in my life, so I don't really have one. I usually shop at the more common department stores, so I have a lot to learn I guess." I'm so embarrassed right now. Never even touched a Marc Jacobs scarf? It's true, though. I do have a lot to learn. Mark was looking kind of uncomfortable, and started to walk off with a mumble of where he was going.
"Aw hell to the no. You have to stick around to see if we look hot. What else would you be doing here?" Amber, Amber, Amber. Making Mark stick around to judge if we look hot or not. This will be quite entertaining. We were walking towards an 'Urban Outfitters' when Naya stopped us for a moment.
"Jess, where did you get that hat?"
"Target. Ooh! I love those jeans! How am I supposed to pay for all this?" Amber, Heather, Naya, and Mark all pulled out black credit cards.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with these? Oh sweet cheezus, those are CENTURION CARDS! Do you know how much I could spend with one of these things? Oh my, I'll be right back. I'm about to buy out all of this store." I had 4 freaking CENTURION credit cards in my wallet and I had free reign to buy whatever I want. Oh my freaking god. As I entered the store, a lady walked up to me.
"Hello, miss. Is there anything that you are interested in?"
"I would like to look at those red jeans over there, and those one shoulder tops right next to it. I'm a size 2 in pants and wear a medium in tops. Thank you."
"You can just go wait in room 3, if that's alright. I'll be right there with the clothes. You are a size 7 in shoes, correct?"
"Yes… I'll be in room 3." Shoe size? Hmmmmm. My phone buzzed in my pocket with a text.
hey jess, i'm sending back a dress so try it on and don't ask questions ~Naya
A dress? I like dresses…. My thoughts were interrupted by the woman tapping me on the shoulder.
"Do you need any help? Your friend sent back a dress for you to try on and I have a few shoe boxes outside. I'll bring them in and send back your friends."
"No, I'll be fine. Thank you for helping me." Ten or twenty shoeboxes filled up a third of the room and a pile of at least 30 items of clothing were hung up on a hook-like thing on the wall. The group approached the door and Amber called out.
"Jess, put some clothes on because Naya, Heather and I are coming in. We have more clothes!" This was turning out to be the best shopping trip ever! I threw on a lavender ruffled top and some white skin-tight jeans that the lady had brought back.
"Ok, come on in. I'm ready!" I opened the door and Amber called Mark to come. When he did, his jaw dropped.
"God damn girl, you are FINE. You look sexy." While Naya and Amber were engrossed at looking at my fabulous shoes, Heather, Mark and I were still here.
"Well, that's settled. We're getting it! Mark, pick out some sexy clothes that you would buy for one of us as a real gift." Heather all but yanked me back into the dressing room, throwing clothes at me.
After a few hours, I finally walked out of the mall carrying at least 30 HUGE bags from various stores. I was wearing the lavendar top and white jeans, the first outfit that I tried on, and a pair of 4-inch sparkly silver peeps with a pair of big, black sunglasses and a bright white handbag. We had several carts and two full of shoeboxes that belonged to me. Another cart was full of shopping bags from Marc Jacobs alone. We had spent thousands of dollars and it was just like they had bought a stick of gum the way that they were acting so non-chalant about the amount of money spent. I also walked out of the mall with a brand new haircut. My hair was a light blonde color and was about 3 inches below my shoulders, unlike the 6 or 7 inches before. It was also in thick loose curls. I had bags of designer sunglasses, scarves, handbags, and hats. This was officially the best shopping trip that I had ever been on.
"That was the most fun I've ever had shopping guys. Thanks for spending all that money on me, and thanks to Mark for picking out that incredible shimmery black dress. I'm so wearing that to the club with those black sequined heels!" I looked at each and every one of them with a look of thanks in my eyes. Naya squeezed my knee and spoke.
"It's really not a big deal about the money, that was about a week's pay for each of us. And you WILL wear that dress clubbing, and you're gonna sing with us. We're going to a new club where they have kareoke, and don't even think of backing out. Chris' has already picked out you two's duet, so get over yourself and have some fun!" Chris and I doing a duet? Maybe I can do one with Darren…
"Jess? JESS. Snap out of it girl! Daydreaming about someone?" Amber wiggled her eyebrows after she finshed talking.
"Maybe…" I knew that I was smiling like a crazy person, but I didn't care. We were on the way back to the studio and I had to find someone to do my makeup for tomorrow.
We made our way to the staff lounge and Chris was sitting at a table with coffees and lattes. He handed me one and I took a sip. Mmmmm. Vanilla latte.
"You are a freaking god. How in the hell did you know to get me a vanilla latte? It's my favorite!" I spoke looking at Chris with a smile.
"A little birdie told me…." He winked at Amber. We got coffees at the mall and I got a vanilla latte!
"Well, thanks anyway, I- What the Hell?" Someone had put their hands over my eyes and was holding me back aganst their – No, his, I determined – chest. Well, this person was fit, and well toned.
"Who's this supermegafoxyawesomehot chick?" Darren.
"Well Darren, my name is Jessica Neil. Please remove your hands from my eyes, NOW." He did as he was asked, but before he could walk away and sit down I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head back on his shoulder.
"Are you up for clubbing with the rest of us tomorrow night?" I hoped that my tone was as sexy as I had intended, because I was holding this super hot guy up to my back. I saw him put his sexy face on and I licked my lips with his eyes following my tongue's every movement.
"Yeah. Can we – can we take a walk?"
"Sure. I hope that someone's gonna answer your texts because you just stuttered." I said with a smirk. I was using AVPS quotes to the boy who wrote the damn music for the thing! I got up and gestured that we should go, taking my coffee with me. As soon as we left the table I could feel the gossip radiating from the cast. Crap. I didn't think of this aspect of being with Darren… But it's worth it. He put his arm around my waist and I rested my head on his shoulder. We were walking away from the lot towards a jogging path. We got to a bench and Darren gestured for us to sit. He did first and I sat on his right playing with some curls on the back of his head lazily. He finally broke the comfortable silence.
"So Jessica..." I could see that he was uncomfortable.
"Do you have a girlfriend? Oh crap, I'm so, so sorry for all of this. Please forgive me." I started to slide across the bench away from him.
"I don't have a girlfriend and I really don't mind. I kinda like it." He said with an easy smile as he put his hands on my hips and slid me back to him, even a bit closer than we were before. He pushed a stray hair behind my ear. I started to tilt my head slightly and lean towards him when Darren mumbled.
"Oh, screw it." He angled his head and pressed his lips to mine. I stifled a gasp when his tongue ran across my bottom lip. I parted my lips and started to kiss him back. Running my hands through his thick, curly hair I gently nipped at his lower lip. He gasped and broke the kiss.
"You didn't do anything wrong, I can see the look in your eyes. I just don't want this to get too crazy before our first date tonight."
"First date? O-okay. Darren!" I threw myself into his arms for a tight hug. I could feel his chest pressed up against mine as I sat in his lap and swisted myself around to hug him. I pulled away from the hug and put a chaste kiss on his lips.
"Thank you Darren. Where are we going? What should I wear? Will it be fancy or casual?"
"Just wear something that makes you look as sexy as you do right now, okay babe?"
"Yeah. You called me 'babe'."
"Oh god, do you hate that? I'm sorry, so so sorry."
"No, I like it. Can we do the thing that Harry did with Ginny in A Very Potter Musical tonight? At the end?" I said with a smirk.
"That would be totally awesome. We gotta get back to the staff lounge and tell everyone that we're going out on a date tonight."
"Why do we have to tell? Couldn't it just be our secret?"
"They'll find out somehow. Chris is like a relationship ninja among other things."
"He's a real ninja too, I have a bruise from a Sai to prove it." It's true, Chris Colfer did practice Sai and practiced with those Sai Swords every day. And whenever he tried a new trick, I got bruises. Lots and lots of bruises.
"Well, we really need to go back and tell them, otherwise you might end up with an unexplainable bruise."
"That's okay, as long as it's on my left shoulder below the collarbone. But I guess that you're right. Can I tell them? That way you aren't threatened with bodily harm by Chris, Amber, Mark, Heather, Naya, and the rest of the cast. They love me that much already."
"Yeah they do. Well, we should go." He stood up and picked me up bridal style.
"DARREN!"
"Sorry." He said with a smirk, so I knew that he wasn't serious.
"You could have spilled my latte all over this top! And it's brand new!"
"Aw, honey. You can always buy another shirt, but you can't buy that moment again. Ever. Sorry, you missed out."
"I never said that you couldn't carry me, just warn me first, okay?"
"Then I'm going to carry you. Don't spill your latte." He picked me up again, but I was expecting it this time so I didn't even spill a drop of the latte. He wasn't in trouble any more. I gave him a chaste kiss on the lips and he returned the kiss more passionately.
As soon as we entered the lounge I could hear the gossip. Darren was still carrying me, so when Chris looked over when he heard the door I could see his eyes widen miles and take a sharp breath inward.
"Hello. What were you two up to?" Chris said in a voice much like when 'Kurt' is surprised.
"Oh nothing much." I responded. Naya then spoke in a 'Santana' bitch tone.
"Just shoving their tongues down each other's throats. You can smell the sexual tension." At that Amber put her hand over her mouth in a futile attempt to stifle her laughter and Heather bit her lip shaking from trying not to laugh. I looked at them like they were young children.
"We have the right to have a romantic relationship. We're going on a date tonight!" I said while trying to squirm out of Darren's tight hold.
"Darren? Would you please put me down now? I really need to go get more coffee. I'll get you some too." He mumbled something along the lines of sorry and finally snapped out of his trance of staring into my eyes and put me down.
"Black coffee with a shot of chocolate? Thanks babe." Darren gave me a kiss on the cheek and went to sit down and run damage control on the rumors.
While Jess was going to get the coffee, I went and sat down at the table. I was greeted with everyone asking what went down all at once.
"Well, we went for a walk and we sat down. I tried to say something, but she asked if I had a girlfriend and as I didn't answer right away she sat on the edge of the bench because she thought that I looked uncomfortable when I was just nervous. I said no and pulled her back over and our eyes kinda – locked. Then I kissed her and she kissed me back. Then I told her that we were going on a date tonight and to wear something that made her look as sexy as she does now."
"That was your first mistake Darren. You never tell a woman to wear something that makes her look sexy. That makes her think that you don't think that she is sexy, just the clothes that she wears." Chris is a relationship ninja isn't he? Well, at least this will help you with Jess.
I came back with the coffees and gave Darren's to him while taking a sip of mine.
"Here's your coffee. I got some for you too Chris, as we have to practice for my audition until I have my date! One coffee with 2 vanilla bean creamers and 1 packet of real sugar. Can you come and help me with something Amber?"
"Sure thing white girl. Let's go, Chris. You have to practice for the audition, remember?" Amber practically dragged me and Chris out of the lounge.
"What should I wear Amber? I can't seem to pick anything out and I want to look really good." Amber was really good with fashion, so I knew that I had the right girl to help me out.
"Wear those cream peeps and that denim skirt. You could either wear the white one-shoulder that has the flowy sleeve or the silver one that has the flowers that come up and over the shoulder. I'd go with the white one, but it's your choice. Also, wear your hair down and curl it again. Wear the scarf headband that's ivory with the beading and the denim handbag, not the shoulder one. That'll be perfect."
"Thank you Amber. You are a fashion goddess."
"Aw, it's no problem. I'll do your makeup." She winked and went to get her makeup from her trailer.
As soon as I had done my hair and put on my outfit, Chris walked in to the trailer with sheet music.
"Someone looks beautiful. Where are you and Darren going?"
"I really have no clue. Thanks, you look great yourself. Your hair looks really sexy when you have it hairsprayed back like that."
"Your beau might not like you telling another man that he looks sexy."
"But you're no threat, you're gay!"
"True, true. Let's practice before Amber brings her elephant of a makeup bag in here and locks you two away for a half hour."
Our practice session went incredibly. I was gonna rock that audition.
The date was wonderful. Darren took me out to dinner at a fancy French restaurant and then took me back to his apartment. We cuddled and fell asleep watching 'The Sound of Music'. When I woke up, Darren was still asleep behind me. I rolled over and gave him a slow, sweet kiss on the lips. He blinked awake and kissed my nose.
"Morning babe. You look gorgeous. How's coffee and breakfast sound?"
"Incredible. I've got to get to the set soon, as I have my audition at 1:00. I'll be back by 2:00, so I'm all yours then."
"Great. I'm paying for breakfast, so you go change. I'll bring you some vanilla scones since you have a vanilla fettish."
"It's not a fettish, just a love. Vanilla scones sound great." We ended up making out for a while, and Darren's limo took us back to the set. I went to Chris' trailer where I was met with a very suspicious countertenor.
"So, how did you sleep? Quite well in the arms of one Darren Criss I suppose as you weren't at the loft or the trailer."
"Loft? I didn't buy a loft. And why is there a new wallet collection in my closet? And one with…. How in the hell do I have a centurion card? And like 15 other credit cards plus 2 new bank cards?"
"The cast and I took the liberty of getting you some of the priviledges of being a celebrity, as you being the new member of the cast is all over the news. And we opened some new bank accounts for you at our bank. The PIN is 2306 for both."
"I think that I am totally in love with the celebrity status. Thank you Chris! Now let's go to my audition!" I had changed into a baby blue top with dark skin-tight jeans. Denim peep-toe wedges and a sky blue cotton scarf accessorized. I was gonna rock this thing.
"Well Jessica, you got the part!" I heard that and I think that I practically attacked Darren with a hug!
"Really? I got the part!" Darren had come to tell me the news as I had been reading Vogue with a latte trying to forget the time and absorb myself in something else other than the results of the audition. Chris was sitting on the black sofa next to me watching re-runs of Season 1 Glee. That was practically all that played on the on-set café's TV. Sometimes we would get E!News or something, but mostly Glee. I wasn't complaining though.
"Good job Jess! I would like to say that it had something to do with my amazing voice, but it was all you." Chris spoke with a huge smile. Darren turned my head back to him gently and pressed a passionate kiss to my lips and I returned. Chris spoke, but I didn't care what he said. Probably something about leaving the two lovebirds alone.
There was only one thing to do now. We were going clubbing.
I hope that you guys liked it! The next chapter won't be as long (Probably around 3,000 words).
