“Sure, we will drop it off on our way out,” I reply quickly. I am so freaking hungry, I just want to order, but it doesn’t help to be rude with fans. Ever.
“Thanks guys. Here are your menus. Rita will be your server.” Rita is older and she makes her way over to us. She either doesn’t recognize us or if she did she doesn’t like to make a fuss. Being so near the studios, I imagine this place see a lots of celebs.
“What can I get you all to drink?” She sounds like she smokes a pack of cigarettes an hour.
“I will have coffee and Dr. Pepper,” I tell her.
“I’ll have coffee and orange juice.”Darren looks at me like I’m insane.
“Coming right up folks.” Rita said.
“Thanks,” we reply, in unison.
“My after-filming diet began an hour ago,” I tell him.
“What does that mean?”
“I pig out for a week, then its back to the gym and grilled chicken.”
Rita returns with a Dr. Pepper, orange juice, two coffee cups, a carafe of coffee and a bowl of creamer.
“Thanks,” I say, attacking the Dr. Pepper first.
“Are you ready to order?”
“Yes. I will have a bacon cheeseburger with fries. Extra fries. Lots of fries,” I say, giggling.
“And I will have the same, but just the normal amount of fries. Thanks.”
“No problem.” Rita moves away from the table.
“Don’t judge me, Darren Sinjin. I’ve earned a cheat week. I had to look good naked, on camera.”
“I remember and you looked amazing. I have no doubt you always will no matter what size you are.”
“That’s sweet, but that doesn’t really work in Hollywood if I want to stay relevant.”
“And do you want to stay relevant?”
“Yes. This is my dream job. My destiny. Despite being a Dexter, I have worked hard to get here and I don’t plan on giving it up.”
“Me either. We’re storytellers, babe.”
“Yeah. Storytellers.”
Our food finally arrives. We dig in. It was delicious. He was staring me more than he was eating. I dig around in my giant purse and pull my sharpie out, handing it to him. I watch as he signs it a napkin for Bianca. He slid the napkin to me to sign. I look up at him.
“Same napkin? This will get the Twitter verse all sorts of riled up.” We laugh at the thought of that. I sign my name with a flourish under his. I even add a heart near the bottom of the a in Jenna.
At the register, he hands his card over to Bianca along with the napkin.
“So are you guys like together?” Bianca asks.
“Yes,” we reply, again in unison.
“Can I get a picture with you guys for my Instagram?” she asks.
“Sure,” he says as I say “Of Course.”
“Thanks,” she says, standing in front of us and snapping the picture.
We barely make it out the door before both our phones pinged with the Instagram tag.
Gotta love LA.
I love this man, and I’m ready for the world to know it. Three in the morning in a dinner in the valley seems like the best place for that announcement.
We walk hand in hand back to his house and get some sleep.
I can’t wait to see what the future brings us.
