BISTRO ORIENT

NOTE: Another imagination of what happened during their spotting at the Bistro Orient by the waitress. Hope you enjoy!

She was listening to her playlist of Edward Sharpe while running on the treadmill when she noticed her phone vibrating. Someone was calling and when she saw the name, she was surprised but she smiled.

She lowered the speed to walk. "Hey Chordy. How are you?" She giggled as her breathing started to slow down.

"Dianna. Are you okay?" He laughed as he heard like she was chased by a dinosaur.

"Yeah. Just walking through the treadmill. I'm in the gym right now." She said.

"Oh, sorry. I'll just call later, I guess." He apologized, afraid he might have disturbed her activity.

"No, it's fine silly! What's up? Why did you call?" She asked.

"I was just wondering if you'd like to have lunch with me. I mean, dance rehearsals aren't till this afternoon."

"Oooh. I have a plane to catch in about 2 hours." Her voice sounded like she was thinking.

"Dang." He giggled. "Where you going? France?" He asked.

"Nah. I'll be in New York for a couple of days. Gonna do tons of press junkets and promotions for the movie." She giggled.

"Wow. You're going places with the big screen. Well, have a safe flight today. Let me know how the press goes." He was about to hang up when suddenly, she stopped him.

"Wait. I think I can still go for a quick lunch. I mean, if it's okay with you that I don't take a shower after the gym." She laughed out. She was already out of the treadmill and collecting her stuff.

"Of course. I'll just breathe through my mouth." He teased which made her laugh.

"Ha! Whatever. Where are you? I brought my car. I'll just pick you up." She asked as she started the engine.

"Oh, I'm just at home. I'll see you soon. I can hear my stomach grumble."

She laughed. "Okay. I'll be there in about 5 minutes. Bistro Orient?" She asked, already on the road.

"Yes! Wait, are you driving? Put down your phone." He reminded her and she laughed as he was like talking to Quinn Fabray.

"Stop it, Chord. I know it. Don't text and drive. I'm not even texting!" She laughed.

"You're still using your phone. Come on. Put it down."

"Why don't you hang up first, then?"

"Why don't you do it first?" He turned the table around.

"Okay, fine. I'll see you in a while." She said as she hung up.

Xxx

They went inside the restaurant smoothly. Luckily, there weren't so many people eating at that hour. Both of them sat on their table which was only for two. A waitress went to get their orders and was surprised to see familiar faces.

"Welcome back, you guys." The waitress greeted.

"You remember us?" Chord asked, giggling.

"Of course. You guys are from Glee." The waitress giggled and both of them just smiled. "So, what can I get you guys?"

"Pad Si Ew and Filet Mignon stir fry. Oh, and Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce. Get me some extra sauce." Chord said. "Do you want anything else?" He asked Dianna.

"The Pho please and Vietnamese Crispy Calamari." Dianna ordered.

"Great. Drinks?" She asked.

"I'll just have water." Dianna said.

"Yeah, I'll just have water too."

"Okay, be back in a sec." She said and she left.

"Well, that's one. Hope we don't see any paparazzi soon." Dianna said, rolling her eyes.

"I don't think there'll be any paparazzi here. Don't worry, we're safe." He said and smiled.

"Look... It's not that I don't want to be with you... It's just..."

"You just don't want to be seen with me..." Chord said as his head went down.

"Chordy... I have a boyfriend. I just don't want to start rumours. You understand that, right?"

"So, you finally said yes to that restaurateur." Chord said, smirking at her.

"Well... We're in good terms. It's new and we're getting to know each other well." She smiled. "I'm meeting him up when I get to New York."

"He's a lucky guy. He should know that." Chord smiled.

"Thank you. That means a lot." Dianna held his hand and smiled. "How about you? How's the girl hunting?" She giggled.

"I don't know." He laughed. "I'm not really into dating right now. I'm more focused with work. We're doing the tribute episode this week. Aren't you coming back?"

"I'll be in New York for a couple of days and... frankly, I wasn't really asked to be in it so..." She raised her brows and sighed but smiled after.

"I could try and talk to Ryan if you want..."

"No. Don't. If I'm needed, I'll be back. Plus... I think the movie's more on my focus right now. Cory knows how much I love him. I don't need to be in the show to let everyone know how much I miss and treasure him." She smiled at him but the tears seem to almost be there.

"You deserve to be in the episode at least. You know it. Cory knows it." He smiled back and their emotional conversation was interrupted by the arrival of their orders.

"Enjoy your meal." The waitress said and left.

"She forgot my extra sauce." Chord said with so much disbelief in his face.

"Wait for it. Maybe they'll give it when they serve the water." Dianna said, laughing at how much he wanted the extra sauce.

They started to eat and after a while, their water came. It was a different waitress that served them. "Here's your water. Anything else you need, Ma'am? Sir?"

"Yeah. I actually asked for some extra sauce for my spring rolls but I didn't get any." His face like he was robbed of his only toy. Dianna lightly slapped his arm and giggled.

"Extra sauce, please. Thank you." Dianna said and smiled politely. The waitress apologized and left to get what they needed.

"How rude, Chord." She said but she was laughing.

"I go here for the sauce, Di. We would've just eaten at McDonald's if not for the sauce." Chord defended.

Dianna just laughed out louder. "Well, you should've just asked politely, little boy."

Chord just pouted and continued eating. The waitress got back with two sauce plates of extra sauce. "Anything else you need?" The waitress asked and smiled.

"No, but he says thank you." Dianna said and smiled. The waitress left and Dianna laughed again. "Are you happy now, baby boy?" She asked.

"I'm happy now that you called me baby." He smirked at her. Dianna laughed and lightly slapped him on the arm again.

"Ouch! That's twice in one day!" He said as though he was really hurt.

"Well, we won't see each other for a long time. So, you should forgive me for that." She winked at him and giggled.

"Maybe you should just go back to LA right after the premiere so we can see each other again."

"No, thanks." She laughed. "Just kidding." She added.

"Hurry up. You still have a flight to catch." Chord said as they continued eating.

"Do you...maybe want to drive me to the airport?" She asked, not looking at him.

His face went up and looked at her. "Yeah. I'd be happy to." He smiled and they finished their meal before heading back to Dianna's place.

Chord brought Dianna to the airport using her car. When she got off, he drove her car back to her house and went to the studio to record a song for Glee.

The next day, twitter blasted news about them being in a restaurant. Luckily, there were no pictures taken. After that, they decided not to go back to avoid all the dating rumours.
