After The Curtain || Catorimas || 11/21
Sure, Orion had seen Catalina dance before, but not in such a professional setting, where a hush settled over the audience, the spotlight rightfully on her as the music lulled the audience into mesmerized stares. Her spins, the way her dance perfectly matched up with her accompaniment, and just the general flow of the whole performance felt like she was making magic to watch. Orion was one of the first people up on his feet once the spotlight lowered and the music ended, clapping enthusiastically, even if she would never see him. Feeling proud of his friend, he was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet on the way out of the busy auditorium, keeping a hold of Thomas’s hand not to lose him in the crowd. He had to keep reminding himself he was in public and thus everything he was doing might reflect on Thomas, so he slowed himself in the lobby, leaning into Thomas’s ear to point out the florist set up specifically for giving bouquets to the performers.
After picking up six red roses and six white, he angled around the mingling crowd until he went to the back near the exists, slipping an attendant a little tip and asking that he go and tell Ms. Catalina Lopez that she had fans that desperately wanted to meet her. It wasn’t a lie, just a bit of a twist, so she could be surprised when she saw them standing there. Lingering by Thomas, he looked around when the door opened and when he caught Cat’s eye, he gave her a playful wink before smiling wide.
