event?”
“The MTV Movie awards.”
“The what?” I must have heard him wrong. I thought he had asked me to an award ceremony.
“The MTV Movie awards,” he replied. “Have you never seen them?”
“Of course I have, but there will be a red carpet … and other celebrities at this event. Wouldn’t you rather take someone else?” I asked. “Like your co-star from Texas High ?”
“I have no interest in dating overexposed drama queens,” he replied. “Holly is too full of herself. I could barely stand to kiss her in the movie. Plus the tabloids are always trying to link me with her. I know the studio would love it, but I have to draw a line somewhere; I won’t let the studio dictate who I date.”
I could tell that I had hit a sore spot with him. Nevertheless, I didn’t know what he was thinking asking me to go. I had never walked a red carpet, and I didn’t think anybody would care to see me on one. All I could think about is how hot he is and how average I am.
“I’ll try and get off work to go with you,” I replied. That should by me some time to think about this. I could always bribe Melanie into saying I had to work that weekend if I decided I couldn’t handle the pressure.
We finished getting ready. I was wearing my new pink dress, and Gray wore jeans, a white button-down shirt and a blazer. Lisa was shocked by my outfit when she showed up with her date Travis, who I quickly introduced to Gray. Travis kept his composure, but I could tell that Lisa had not informed him about Gray.
“The car should be arriving any second,” Gray stated. “I didn’t know what you guys liked to drink, so I had them stock it with Cristal Champagne, Grey Goose, and rum.”
I was excited when the car showed up. It was a stretch limo that seated about ten people. I had never been in a limo before; I felt like a fish out of water. Lisa and I jumped into the limo and began to squeal. She headed for the vodka right way and started making drinks. Gray gave the driver directions and then he and Travis got in.
“This is amazing,” Lisa said. “Isn’t this great, Travis?” I could tell she was thinking that maybe she should have invited someone else on her list. Travis was her normal standby date. He was a sweet, likeable guy who loved Lisa, but Lisa always had her eye on someone better looking, with a better job. Travis was just happy to be invited along. I’m sure he would read more into this date than Lisa intended. After all, she had picked him to go in a limo with a movie star.
“Before we get to Rain, are there any other bars you guys would like to pre-game at?” Gray asked.
I looked at Lisa, and we both said “Safe House” in unison. The Safe House was a kooky spy bar that had been in Milwaukee since the ‘60s. You ha ve to know the password to get in. If you didn’t know the password, the girl at the door would make you do crazy things to get inside, where everyone would be watching you on the large screen TV. It was a Milwaukee experience.
The limo pulled up outside, and we all went in the back-alley entrance. The hostess came up to me first and wanted me to whisper the password in her ear. I looked at Gray with a smile and whispered the password, without sharing it with him. The secret passage way opened, and I darted inside to watch Gray. Lisa and Travis also knew the password, so all three of us huddled around the TV to see Gray make a fool out of himself.
The hostess had him to try the hula-hoop. He failed, and after three attempts she just let him in. The crowd erupted with clapping and laughter. Grays face was bright red. I was glad to know that I could embarrass him as much as he could me.
The four of us got drinks and walked around the bar. Safe House was decorated with memorabilia from almost every spy movie ever made. The key attraction was the restaurant’s puzzle wall in the dining room. Guests could push a button
