Chapter 8

Jensen's POV

"Are you ready man?" Jared asked you as you finished getting ready for dinner.

"Yeah. I'm coming." you answered, straightening your tie. When you got to the door, Jared stopped you.

"What? We are already late. Viv is probably sitting alone awkwardly." you said and Jared held up his hand to stop you.

"Viv texted me and she invited Jane Edwards and her agent to dinner. Just giving you a heads up." he said and started walking to the elevator

"At least she's not sitting alone now." you said.

"Yeah, but we're still running late jerk." he teased.

"Whatever bitch." you chuckled.

Jared holds the door for a couple who walked out and then you both enter the restaurant.

"Good evening. Do you have a reservation?" the hostess asked.

"We are with Viv Smith." Jared says confidently.

"Yes Miss Vivian. If you would follow me, they are seated in the back." You both follow the hostess and she leads you to a private table. Viv stands up and starts walking towards you.

"Thank you." you say to the hostess.

"You're welcome and if you need anything else, just holler." she chuckles and then goes back to work.

"Welcome gentlemen!" Viv says. "The girls are in the bathroom right now, so make yourselves comfortable."

"Thank you." Jared said, giving her a hug.

You both sit across from where coats were placed behind chairs and talk about the upcoming events that are happening this weekend.

"I assure you that you will have some free time between all of these events." Viv finished and you could tell that she was stressed.

"Sounds perfect! I know that this will be a successful weekend. Thanks again Viv." you said and smiled at Viv.

Jared was about to compliment Viv's planning skills when distant laughter disrupted him.

You and Jared turned around and stood up to see a pair of beautiful brown eyes catch yours.

"Welcome back ladies!" Viv said. She introduces you guys to the girls and Jared did his usual hug, which I could tell shocked them a bit.

"It's nice to meet you. Your work is amazing." he said after the hug.

"Thank you." she said and it sounded like an angel.

Suddenly you feel a nudge, your thoughts going away and leaving you there, standing awkwardly.

"Hi. Sorry. I'm Jensen." you say and hold out your hand, waiting for her to shake it.

"I'm Jane. It's nice to meet you." she says, smiling as she took your hand.

You felt a shock go up your arm as her hand touched yours. You smiled back and those brown eyes entranced you again until Viv exclaimed that she was hungry, which I couldn't disagree. Airplane food sucks!

Once you all finished your meal, sharing laughs and stories, Viv led the way back to the hotel. The girls were right behind you and Jared. You both were silently walking, enjoying the view of New York at night until Jared asked,

"How much you want to bet to see how far Jane can hold on to Maggie before she passes out?"

You sneakily turned around when Jane was occupied with Maggie's drunkenness and smiled.

"A couple more feet. Mixing wine with vodka was not the brightest idea." you answered.

"Maggie seems tough. I'll say once we step foot into the hotel." Jared says.

"Deal!" you say and you both shook hands.

Just as you were about to cross the street, you and Jared heard Jane yell, asking for help.

You both looked at each other and you smiled.

"Damn! We were almost to the hotel." Jared said, losing the bet. "I'll go get her." He shamefully ran to them and picked up Maggie.

"Oh goodness. Let's get back to the hotel before she gets sick." Viv says, finally noticing all of us.

I couldn't help but stare at Jane when we were in the elevator, concern all over her face. We all started laughing when Maggie started singing with the elevator music and then Jane catches you. She smiles and quickly looks back to Maggie, her cheeks turning pink.

You were the last to leave the elevator because Viv was talking to you more about tomorrow's plans.

"Don't worry Viv. Everything is in line and we couldn't have asked for it better." you say, placing your hands on her shoulders and this relaxes her.

"Thanks Jensen. I just don't want to mess up and I really need this promotion." she says.

"I know that you will get that promotion. See you tomorrow morning." you say and smile to her.

"Yep! Thanks again!" she says and takes a deep breath.

You turn around, trying to find where Jared, Maggie and Jane were at. You assumed that they went to Maggie's room, so you turned back to Viv before she entered the elevator.

"Viv! Can you tell me where Maggie's room is? They left me in the dust."

She laughed and pointed to the door right across from Jared's.

You were about to thank her, but she left.

You knocked on the door, hoping that they were still in there. You felt your stomach leap when you saw those brown eyes look at you.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry. We totally left you out here. Come in." Jane says, motioning you to enter Maggie's room.

"It's fine." you nervously chuckle.

You see Jared helping Maggie in the living room and ask him if he's ready to go to bed. He goes into his room, saying good night to the both of you and shutting his door, leaving you and Jane alone by the door.

Jane finally breaks the awkward silence by telling you that she was nervous about tomorrow. You assure her that it will be fun and that she doesn't have to deal with crazy fangirls. That makes her laugh, giving you a smile.

"Well, I wish you good luck and I hope to see it." she says and smile.

"I hope so too." you wink and she looks down, her face getting red.

She told me that she was going to check on Maggie, quickly turning and skipped to the living room. You chuckle as you watch her and get lost in thought.

Jane tiptoes back to you and you ask if Maggie was okay.

"She is sleeping for now, but I have a bad feeling about tomorrow morning." she answers.

You chuckle and say that you should head off to bed, but before you opened the door Jane said,

"Thank you again for my paintbrush. Good night!"

"Night!" you say back and quietly shut your door.

You trudged to your bathroom, slowly getting ready for bed. You plopped on your bed, falling asleep while listening to Wild Mountain Thyme, the song you were going to sing tomorrow. I hope I don't mess up tomorrow. You thought and drifted off to sleep.
