The audition was a bit strange for David. He was used to roles where he had lines that he could perform, to get a real bite on the scene. However he was left with an empty feeling as he stood there while Patricia danced and sang around him, like he was some sort of stripper’s pole. He let himself be pulled into to her, to move in a way that was somewhere between making love and dancing, but neither of each. He drew in close, locking eyes, inches away as she sang the final verse of her song. She moved in closer, just missing David’s lips for a kiss. They held on to each other for a few seconds as the melody ended.<br/><br/>They moved away from each other slowly, and Patricia had a smile on her that she was trying to hide. He couldn’t help but slightly grin, which he washed off his face when the casting director said, “thank you David, we’ll let you know tomorrow with our decision.”<br/><br/>David shook all their hands, and could feel Patricia’s gaze on him the whole time. He’d gotten to her, and hopefully it showed on the camera. He really needed this job. He was tired of auditioning. You go in for hundreds of auditions, and hope that not only are you what they’re looking for, which usually you aren’t, but that you’re better than everyone else. Dozens of people go in for only a single role. Great for the casting directors, torture for the actors. Especially when you wait to hear back, but never hear a thing. That’s how the business works. David sighed.<br/><br/>Regardless, he felt good about this one. Something about the mood, the atmosphere of the room, and the reaction from the singer, made him feel very positive. He was on a high as he went into the hall to get his things. He opened his bag to put on his shoes and canvas jacket.<br/><br/>Walking down the hall he was surprised to see the same red-haired woman he had seen earlier. He came to a sudden stop. She was very beautiful, and that draw he had towards her earlier didn’t go away. In fact it intensified. She seemed happy as she was putting on her shoes, which could only mean one thing.<br/><br/>“So, I guess you got the part?” David asked, suddenly drawing her attention. “I saw you dancing, you were… amazing.”
