Robbie's P.o.V
As we drive up to the theatre I can see the expressions on my friends faces change. I don't think this was what they had in mind. I suppose they were expecting a small theatre, but the building is quite big. In fact it used to be an old movie theatre. It has three screens in it and isn't in too bad a condition.
"So what do you think?" I ask, knowing that they are already impressed, but still want to know their honest opinion.
"So you bought an old building big whoop" Jade comments sarcastically.
"Jade, be nice. I think it impressive." Beck adds reassuringly.
"Thanks Beck. So you guys want the tour?" I ask, knowing the answer, but just trying to tease them a bit.
"Sure thing man" André responds, the others nodding.
I unlock the doors and gesture for them to enter. As they enter I can see the scowl on Jade's face disappear. The work has already started inside and so the conversions are only partially started. But what has been done is impressive, if I do say so myself.
What used to be the foyer is now being turned into the cafe. There are tables and chairs stacked at the sides waiting to be set out. The counter has been replaced by a more modern version. I take them behind the counter and lead them through a door which leads to a kitchen.
This room is a lot messier seeing as it is a completely new part of the building. There are plastic sheets everywhere covering surfaces and there are wires sticking out of the walls.
"Yes this bit is still a mess, but I think the end result will be great" I tells them. I hope they see what I am exactly trying to achieve.
"So what sort of food you going to serve?" Tori asks.
"You know the usual. But I want the specialty to be red velvet cupcakes" I tell her.
Suddenly Cat squeals with excitement and jumps on me. I barely have the strength to hold both myself and her up. If she keeps doing this tonight then I'll collapse out of exhaustion.
"Can I have some?" she asks sweetly, bashing her eyelids.
"Of course you can and for you guys it'll be free" I say shooting a smile at them, "If you'll follow me, I'll show you the rest.
I guide them back out of the kitchen and down the corridor on the right. There are a large set of double doors that I hold open for the others and we find ourselves in the first of the cinema screens. The old seats have been torn up and are currently pushed to the sides, but the screen is still up.
"So yeah I'm going to be keeping this as a cinema" I say, explaining the obvious, but I don't know what else to say.
"So what, are we going to be seeing the latest blockbusters here?" André asks.
"I wish. No it'll just be smaller independent films" I tell him. At this Jade's expression changes completely.
"Shapiro, you better be playing my stuff because you know you want the best" she says, a slightly threatening tone in her voice.
"Well I do want the best for my place" I say. I know that it seems she's being rude, but because she's been living with me I can identify the slight questioning tone in her voice. The one that is asking 'am I really good enough?'
"Well that's only if I think this dive is worthy of my masterpieces once it's complete" she retorts.
I lead them to the theatre closest to the last one. This room remains untouched because I honestly don't know what to do with it.
"Yeah, I kind of don't know what's happening in here. I'm open to suggestions" I say, hoping that they will be able to solve this problem.
"Turn it into a candy forest" Cat shouts with glee. Everyone gives her weird looks but I just let out a slight chuckle.
"If only I could, I don't really want people eating the place. I mean they may eat too much and throw up on other people" I say beaming a smile at Cat.
"Oh, I guess I hadn't thought of that" Cat replies, looking away out of shyness.
"Uh, yeah. What about a dance studio? You know they practice in here and then perform it on the stage." Tori suggests. Jade give her a dark glare, probably because she said something Jade wanted to.
"Never thought of that, I just thought they would practice on the stage" I say. I had thought that would be what happened.
"Yes but sometimes they need more space" Beck points out.
"Cool so I guess that is the plan then. I tell the builders tomorrow" I say.
I lead them out of the room and back down the corridor. I stop at the bottom of the stairs and turn to face them.
"Up there the projection room is being refurbished. One of the other projection rooms is being turned into a music studio and the last is being turned into my office. I would take you up there but it's a complete disaster zone from what I'm told" I tell them, walking further down the corridor and through another set of doors. "And this will be the theatre."
The screen has already been removed and the stage set down, but again the seats have been removed and are pushed to the side. I lead them all down on to the stage for one last surprise. Once we are all on stage I reach in my pocket and pull out a remote. As I press a button music starts to blare out of speakers placed around the theatre.
"May I have this dance?" I ask Cat. She gives a shy giggle, but takes my outstretched hand and I twirl her into the middle of the stage. She places her hands around my neck and I gently place my hands on her hips, feeling a slight blush creep onto my face.
We dance close lost in each other's eyes. But I do catch glances of the others. I see Beck and Tori dancing. And then I see Jade dragging André onto the floor, just so she didn't feel left out. But it clear to tell that André is uncomfortable by the expression on his face, well at least the split second I see.
As the music ends, I lean in and kiss Cat. The feeling of pure bliss consumes me and I am happy to be lost in this feeling. However harsh reality pulls me back.
"I've already seen you eat her face today, I don't need to see it again." Jade yells pulling us apart.
"Yes I guess it's not necessary but I like it" I say shooting her a smile. "Well I guess that's the end of the tour. I guess we should head home." At this I see Cat's face drop.
"But I do need your help on a name. So hit me with suggestions." I say, trying to end the night on a high.
I am met by silence, but can see from the expressions of their faces that they are thinking. Suddenly Cat squeals.
"You should call it 'Showcase Shapiro'" she says, bouncing with joy. Everyone else gives hernods of approval, and look of slight amazement. I hate it when they do that because it shows that they don't think she is smart enough to have these good ideas.
"Sounds perfect" I say giving her a hug.
"Shapiro don't go any further it's time to go, I'm bored" Jade states crossing her arms. I sigh in defeat and lead them back outside.
When I finish locking up everyone but Cat is back in the limo and the look of joy on her face is gone, replaced by the earlier glum expression.
"What's wrong Cat?" I ask.
"I don't want to leave you and go home" she says pouting slightly.
"But I'm sure your mum misses you" I say trying to get her to think of the good things about going home.
"Yes, but I'll miss you then" she says, pulling me into a hug. I try to think of a way to make her happy again. I suddenly look around in the sky and find what I am looking for.
"Cat?" I say pushing her off of me slightly, "You see that star up there." I point in the direction of the star I have located.
"Yes" she squeaks, barely audibly, obviously holding back tears.
"Well that is our star, so if ever you miss me then look for it because I can guarantee you that I'll be looking at it too missing you" I say, planting a quick kiss on her lips as a way of cementing my promise.
"Aww" Tori interrupts, "I ruined the moment didn't I."
"Yes but we have to get going now anyway" I say leading Cat to the car. Her gloom for before gone and her wondrous smile now back on her face.
Once we get in the car we are driven off back to our homes.
The End
A/N: Well that's it guys, thanks for reading and reviewing. It helped me to continue writing. I'm sad it has ended but I felt like it needed to finish now.
