Hey everyone!! I'm so sorry that this has taken so long to update! Everything has been really hectic lately, with my IB testing and whatnot. So I made this chapter a little longer than usual. I hope everyone doesn't mind but I changed Lizzie's age, because I didn't really realize how old Orlando Bloom is lol. I also posted some new pictures from things that I mention in this story on my profile, so go check them out!
Thanks for reading! And please review!! =)
Chapter 11
Since it was dark when we left the suite, Orlando took off his sunglasses and put on a black beanie that covered his hair and most of his forehead. I couldn't help but stare at his face; he was gorgeous, in my opinion at least. His eyes were a shade of dark brown that seemed endless when I gazed into them. He caught my stare and smiled at me, making my heart drastically speed up. I blushed, hoping that he couldn't see the redness on my cheeks in the dark, and looked at the ground.
"So," he asked, "Do you want to call your friend or do you want to go on a ride with me first? Since we're already in Fantasyland, why don't we go on Peter Pan?"
Of course that was my favorite ride, so how could I say no? "Sure, I'd love to! Let me call Lindsey and ask her, maybe she could go save a spot for us for Fantasmic, since it's really crowded today" I said taking out my pink Razor cell phone.
He nodded and said, "Good thinking Lizzie, I'll go buy us some kettle corn while you call her, I'll be right back."
"Ok thanks" I said as I smiled at him as he walked away to buy the popcorn. I pressed the number 2 on my phone, since Lindsey was on my speed dial. She picked up after the first ring.
"Hey Lizzie! Where are you guys?" she yelled into the phone, even then I could barely hear her.
"I can barely hear you Linds, where are you?" I asked.
"Sitting on the side of Main Street eating an ice cream cone" she said nonchalantly.
"Um… ok. Anyway, did you want to watch Fantasmic tonight?" I asked.
"Yea, I would love to! I want to see that, but isn't it going to be crowded?" Lindsey asked, "Do you want me to head over there right now and save us a spot? Wait…is that Orlando guy still with you?"
I chuckled to myself, "One question at a time Linds geez… so firstly, yes it's going to be crowded, secondly that would be awesome if you could since it's seven right now and the show starts at 9, and lastly yes he is still with me, we were going to ride on Peter Pan before we came over there if that's ok…"
"Oh I see, ditching me for the hot guy… haha just kidding. That's really cute though, that's a very romantic ride Lizzie" she said sarcastically.
I glanced over my shoulder and saw Orlando walking back with the popcorn, "Whatever Lindsey, he's coming so I got to go…"
"Ok fine, call me when you're walking over, have fun!!!" she said with a little too much enthusiasm.
"Bye Linds, thank you!" I said closing the phone as Orlando was walking up to me.
"Here you are" he said handing me the bag of popcorn with a grin on his face. "What did Lindsey say?"
"She said that she would be happy too, and thanks for the popcorn!"
"It's no problem, really, so how about we go get in line for Peter Pan while we eat the popcorn" he said.
"Ok, sounds like a plan" I said while grinning at him.
He smiled and took my hand in his as he led me to the entrance of the ride. The line was long, but not that long considering the number of people that were actually in the park. "So Lizzie, tell me more about yourself, besides the fact that you obviously like popcorn and also have an uncanny resemblance to Keira Knightley."
"Haha very funny" I smirked at him, "Well I'm 24 and I've been working at the same publishing company for four years, two as an Intern and now as a Junior Assistant. It's a very interesting place to work, but I love to read so it is cool seeing books and manuscripts before they are published. Lindsey and I live in a house in Sacramento with her dog Macey. But I was actually born in Los Angeles, but my parents decided to move up to Sacramento for my dad's job. I'm the oldest of three kids, I have a brother named Jason who's 22 and my sister Tara is 19. My siblings and I are very close and still hang out all the time. I used to dance, but I had to stop when I broke my ankle dancing when I was 17. So basically that's me in a nut shell, what about you?" I asked.
"That's very interesting actually. Well, believe it or not I'm 30" he said while I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"You don't look like your 30!" I said.
"Thanks for the compliment" he said "Anyway, I was born in England and I have one sister named Samantha, and I also have a dog that I rescued while on vacation in Morocco and her name is Sidi. I actually went to an acting school and got a major in acting."
"Really? That's so cool! Have you been in any movies?" I asked excitedly, thinking he was someone famous.
He looked nervous for a split second, but then collected himself quickly, "I've been in a few here and there, but nothing major."
"So what have you been doing, job wise I mean?" I asked, confused as to how he made a living.
"Um… well I work in manufacturing, mainly blacksmith tools and things like that" he said looking in the other direction.
"Oh, ok cool!" I said, breaking the silence. I hadn't realized that we had been talking for forty minutes, and now we were at the front of the line.
He smiled at me when it was our turn to get into the pirate ship "car", "Ladies first," he said.
"Thank you very much good sir," I said playing along. He followed close behind me and sat down, pulling the lap bar down.
We were silent throughout the ride, looking at the miniature version of Neverland and the lifesize figurines of Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and Wendy. The ride finished and Orlando took my hand again when we walked off the ride after I threw away the empty popcorn bag.
Orlando took his cell phone out of his pocket and checked the time, "So it's 8:15, do you want to go meet Lindsey now, if we can find her that is" he said, understanding my friend's sometimes sporadic behavior that I told him about earlier.
"Yea, it'll be just our luck if we don't find her. Let me call her, hold on a second" I said as I took out my phone.
She answered, "Hey Lizzie! Are you guys heading over here now?"
"Yea we are, where are you exactly?" I asked.
"So I am right in front of the island, right along the water. I'm in the very front so you'll have to climb over some people" she said.
I internally groaned about her lack of details, but I'm sure we would find her eventually. "Alright, let's go find her" I said to Orlando as we began our walk toward the Rivers of America. We didn't say a word to each other on the way, because we were so intent on not losing sight of each other in the crowd. Finally, we arrived and we began our search for Lindsey, then my phone started to vibrate in my pocket. "It's Lindsey," I told Orlando while answering my phone. "Hey Linds, we are trying to find you, but our efforts are fruitless at the moment."
I heard muffled talking, like she was talking to someone else. "Ok, so there should be a guy in a neon yellow vest sticking his neon flashlight thing straight up in the air and waving it back and forth." I relayed her instructions to Orlando and we searched the massive crowd for any sign of neon. "Ok, hold on a second Linds we're looking."
Suddenly Orlando said, "look Lizzie, over there," I looked to where he was pointing and realized that he had found the guy that Lindsey was talking about.
"Ok, we see you, be right there" I said while we began to make our way through the crowd.
We finally got to where Lindsey was and I gave her a hug thanking her for saving spots. "No problem" she said, "The show's about to start, sit down!"
The three of us sat down, and we definitely had awesome seats; right in the middle in the front along the fence separating the water from the sidewalk. Suddenly all the lights turned off, signaling the start of the show. After only a few minutes of watching, I couldn't believe that they could do so much with only lights, water, and music, it was amazing. Of course Lindsey was taking pictures the whole time, but it quickly became chilly even though it was the middle of May. Orlando noticed that I was cold, so he started to rub his hand up and down my arm, trying to generate some heat. I smiled gratefully at him and then laid my head on his shoulder. I kept my head there for the rest of the show, and it felt really intimate, meeting this amazing guy when I was in Disneyland, it was like a dream come true!
Just a little quick note, just to explain why no one has recognized him yet. During the day, he was wearing sunglasses, no one can see his face that clearly at night, and Lizzie has no idea who the heck Orlando Bloom is. =)
Hope you liked it!
