"Well should we order!" Said joy. "Yea." They were all looking at their menus. Well all except Andy who was still looking at Diana dumbstruck. Joy tapped Fred on the shoulder and pointed towards Andy they both let out little smiles."May I take your order?" The waiter said now arriving at the table."wha.." Andy said snapping out of his trance making Joy and Fred laughed a little."your order sir." "Umm oh yea umm" Andy looked nervously at the menu "I will have a cheeseburger. Well done. Lots of relish." Andy said looking embarrassed. "You miss." The waiter asked joy "I will have a joy " Said Joy (Sandy named the sandwich after her.) "I will have the same." Said Fred. "And what would you like ma'am." He asked Diana a little nervous remembering her drink order. "I will have the seafood chowder but instead of salmon I want lobster and make sure it's stemmed for 15 minutes and I don't want any parsley instead of turnip I want sliced carrots and I really don't want broccoli I suggest you just take it off the menu no one want broccoli." Diana said as the waiter wrote down every thing. "Okay any thing else." "Nope, thank you." Said Joy. When the waiter walked away Joy looked at Diana "your very particular." "I know what I like Joy." Diana said rolling her eyes "at least I am not copping your order like Fred keeps doing." "Diana they just like the same kinda stuff sure it's boring but they like it."Andy said "Thank you Andy... I think."
"So guys how's the team looking for this season."Joy said exited."Not good joy."said Andy "Jerrod's injured." "Oh no is he going to be okay." Diana said concerned "I don't know it looked pretty did draft a new guy for the season he seems pretty good." Fred said "what's his name."joy said interested."Reggie bush." Fred said.
"REGGIE BUSH,FROM THE LIONS." Diana said upset "ANDY how could you not tell me you got Reggie." Diana said looking genuinely hurt "I'm sorry Diana I knew you were a big lions fan and I thought it would upset you." Andy said putting his hand on Diana's shoulder."Well even with Reggie Detroit is going to kick your sorry ass." She said smiling "Well we will just see what happens." Anger said returning her smile. "It's so weird I mean we are all 49ers fans but your still a lions fan." Joy said to Diana "Well joy I was born an raised in Detroit." "So I was born and raised in Boston but it was always my dream to play for the 49ers." Anger said. "Well I don't know maybe it's because I actually have sound judgment." Diana said smirking."Hey don't insult my team I played with them for 6 years and have coached it for 3 i have been to the super bowl 3 times and have won two first as a player second as a coach have the lions even been in one?." "No" she said sad and embarrassed "SO I say I know more about football then you."Andy said angrily "whatever."Diana said rolling her eyes.
Then the waiter brought there food. "Thank you." Joy and fear said. "They stemmed the lobster for 15 and a half minutes." Diana said sadly "What are they supposed to do un steam it!?" Andy said mockingly "No it's okay I am just saying they should listen." Andy just scoffed.
"So how was work today." Fred asked his fiancé "Well the same kids in my 3rd hour still keep not doing there homework." "You stood up to them today right." Asked Andy "Well...No" joy said starting at her hands in her lap. "WHAT! JOY!" All three said in unison "I know it's wrong but I .." Joy began. "Your such a pushover!" Said Diana. "I just want to make everyone happy." "It's not fair to the students who do their homework." Said Andy.
"It was so much easier when I was teaching elementary." Said Joy. "But you make more money as a high school teacher." Fred said. " I know and I know we need money for the wedding but I just ... They seem so sad when they get F's" "THEY DESERVE THEM JOY!" Andy said "I know but..." "NO BUTS JOY next time they do that stand up to them!" Diana said "Okay okay I will I will" she sounded as if she was about to cry." "Guys back off her." Fred said putting his arm around Joy. "The truth hurts." Said Andy snarling. Trying to stop his fiancé from crying (which she rarely did) he decided to change the subject.
"So what movie did you guys go to this morning." Fear asked. Suddenly joy stopped looking in her lap and looked back to her old happy self "Wait you guys went to a movie." "Yea we went to keys diner and then we saw mission impossible rouge nation." "Ohh." Joy said playfully. "God joy it's not like that."said Diana "Okay" Joy said winking. "I am tired of you two (he pointed to Fred and joy) making up stories about us dating. WERE JUST FRIENDS." "Sorry... So how was the movie" "Awesome" Andy said still looking mad (but a bit sad) "Gross" Diana said taking a sip of her drink (but both Fred and joy could have sworn they saw a tear on her cheek)
(...)
There was a long silence. Then the d.j Diana's favorite song "problem" by Ariana grande. "I love this song, come on Andy." They both made their way to the dance floor and started dancing. (Not romantically it was just dancing for fun.) lots of other people started going to the dance floor. "Wanna dance!" Joy said happily. "Better not we might fall." Fred said. "Oh come on Fred." Joy said pleading "Joy our wedding is in two weeks I promise we will dance there." Fred said. "Well in that case I have an idea of something we can do." Joy said with a smirk. Joy got up from the table and walked to the d.j she talked to him for a few seconds and gave him $20 dollars. As she sat back down Fred looked at her worried. "Joy did you give the d.j $20." "Yea," "why?" "To suggest a song."Joy said "I thought that was free." "Yea but I wanted this song played next." "Joy we have to watch our spending." Fred said worried. "Believe me this will be worth it." Joy said smirking. "Joy I ..." Fred was interrupted by the d.j taking the mic
"Okay this is a song for all you lovebirds here tonight." The d.j said (a slow romantic song started playing) "oh let's sit down." Diana said "yea" Andy grunted as they were walking off the dance floor people started booing "LEVE US ALONE!" Andy shouted. People still continued to boo. Andy started fuming "Andy I don't wanna make a scene,let's just get this over with." Diana said annoyed."okay fine!" As they walked back onto the dance floor people were cheering.
It started out very awkward but after a while they really got in to it Andy was twirling Diana and they held each other very close then something amazing happened Joy tapped Fred's arm to bring his attention to the sight. Diana had one arm around the back off Andy's neck the other was on his chest she clutched his shirt and moved her lips closer to his (it was finally happening thought both Fred and Joy) they couldn't hide there excitement they both had huge smiles. Sadly Diana saw them over Andy's shoulder and backed away. "Sorry my foot fell asleep can we sit down." Diana said awkwardly "oh yea."Andy said sounding very disappointed. They walked back to the table no one booed this time."You guys were really good." Said Joy as they sat down "Thanks." Diana said very sad "yea ... thanks" Andy said.
(...)
There was another awkward silence "Well I am done with my food let's pay the bill and go." Andy said. "Not yet we have to say hello to Sandy first." Joy said. "Ugg do we have to." Diana said groaning."Diana she's joys best friend how can you be so rude!" Fred said shocked. "Well you have to admit that she's kinda depressing." Andy said."well Diana she's in the bridal party the bachelorette party is next week and you still haven't seen her in like a month." Joy said annoyed. "Okay fine Joy." "And Andy you should thank her for the meal." Fred said weirdly confident "well it was a good burger." As they walked to Sandy's office Joy and Fred eavesdropped on Diana and Andy's conversation "Andy I just got sleepless in Seattle from Netflix wanna come over to watch it." "Isn't that a chick flick." "Tom hanks is in it." "Well I like Tom hanks. Sure."
(Sandy's office)
"Hey guys!" Sandy said exited. "Hey Sandy thanks for the free dinner." Joy said hugging her friend. "How are ya Fred." "Good, ?" "Fantastic"Diana I haven't seen you in forever." "Yup." Diana just wanted to get this over."sorry I don't remember your name." "MY NAME IS ANDY how do you forget it its just like Sandy." "I a just bad at names." Sandy said starting to cry."Stop crying I am sorry." Andy grunted."it's okay I am sorry to.." There was a knock on the door " the writer from San Fran food magazine is here" "oh just give me a minute." "We should go." Said joy "it was nice seeing you Sandy." Fred said.
As they walked to their cars Fred and Andy were wrapped up in a conversation about football. So joy talked to Diana "you exited about the wedding." Diana asked "Yea still working out the last few details but Fred dose enough worrying for the both of us." They both laughed. Joy looked at Diana and saw her with a distracted look on her face she was looking at at Andy "You like how Andy looks in that suite don't you." Joy said smiling "Yea!" Diana said absentmindedly. "Um I mean ... I mean it's a nice suite." She said trying to cover her outburst. "I think your more interested in what's under the suite." Joy said teasingly "joy!" Diana whispered sharply "Andy's gunna hear you!" "They're 3 feet in front of us and wrapped up in a conversation about football, They won't hear us." "We'll Joy I ... I still ... I was talking about the suite I am a fashion designer not a pervert." Diana whispered "I'm not saying you're a perv but you do
like him." "Stop it Joy." I saw you about to kiss him on the dance floor." Joy said. Diana was silent "He couldn't stop looking at you to in fact keep seeing his stealing looks at you right now." Joy said smiling at Diana. Diana started shivering and rubbing her arms on her arms "ugg it's so cold Joy." As if on queue Andy appeared "Here." Andy said putting his suit jacket on Diana "Thanks Andy." Diana said smiling. Then she gave a cheeky smile "race ya to the parking lot?" "Can you run in those shoes?" "Scared?" Diana said teasing "YOUR ON!" And they both took off running.
"Those two are fun aren't they." Fred said wrapping his arm around Joys shoulders. "You have no idea!" She said putting her head into her fiancées shoulder.
