I waked into rehersal the day after mine and Dereks dinner with a bounce in my step. I had gotten an amazing sleep and had a perfect morning so far. The creative team was sitting at the desk talking with Ivy. I made my way over to the enseble. We had gotten closer, they still called me Ihowa but now it was a term of endermant. I threw my stuff in the corner before joining the others stretching.
"The dark lord must have gotten a good lay last night he smiled at tom when he walked in." Bobby filled me in. Before Jessica took over. " and it wasn't Ivy because we all went out and she crashed at mine and bobby's"
"Plus he has never looked that happy after a night with Ivy."
I had to keep my head down when bobby said that so they didnt't see my smile.
"As Ivys friends I say we should find out hey Bobby."
"Absolutely Jess its our duty as her friend."
I had to interupt at that. " Because that why you want to know as Ivy's friend not for the gossip right."
"Karen you wound us. We dont gossip."
We all started laughing at that. " How are you going to find out."
"Its Derek Wills he is not very creative he tends to take all his girls to table 46 for drinks."
"Bobbys right we are just going to have to spend the next couple of nights there."
"Thats going to be so dificult for you two. You guys are such good friends."
"We know." They both replied at the same time. Before I could reply Derek called rehersal to a start.
After I got home that night I notticed a note on the table.
Karen,
My phone was dead or I would have called I've had to go to DC for a couple of days I'll call you on the morning.
Love Dev,
I had already stoped an got fresh food so I could make a stir fry that was now going to go to waste if I didn't cook it tonight. So I decied to see if Derek was busy and if I could return the favor of him cooking. He replied back he would love to and he would be there in thirty.
"Smells good love."
"Thanks Derek its almost ready."
Once we had sat down an started eating I decided to bring up my converstaion with the gossip twins.
"By the way you might want to stop going to Table 46."
"Why?"
"Cause aparently you are known to take your girls there."
"Who said that."
I
"Who do you think Bobby and Jessica. Aparently you where in a good mood this morning when you got to reheral so in there minds it meant you had a really good lay and it wasn't Ivy because she was with them."
"I look happy so I must have had sex thats ridiculous."
"Yep now they plan on stalking you to find out who she is."
"See darling this is what I have to put up with its no wonder why I was in a good mood after your pleasant company last night."
"I had fun last night to."
"Are they really planning on stalking me."
"Yep look I'll show you."
I pulled out my phone and opened up my messages and text jess.
Jess
Hey you an Bobby solved your Derek mystery yet.
Karen
Karen
Not yet an we have been here for an hour.
Jess
Jess
Keep me posted
Karen
Karen
Will do you should join us on friday if we havent found out who she is by then.
Jess
Jess
Will do ttyl.
Karen
Karen
See you in rehersal.
Jess
I read her last message before scrolling back up and passing my phone to Derek.
"Geez these two should become paparazzi and why are you aggreeing to help darling."
"Because its funny watching them try to figure out who this mystery girl is when I know who it is."
"Its tuesday are they seriously planning on spending the next three night at table 46."
"Because spending a night at a bar is so unlike them."
"Uh huh well I think I might have to be extra nice in rehersal for the imediate future to see how far there stalking will go."
The rest of the week passed with derek going out of his way to be nice to everyone in rehersals. Bobby and Jess obsessing over every smile and going to Table
46 every night.
They true to there word kept me up to date on all there theories which I would forward on to Derek.
This went on untill friday night where as agreed I joined the wonder twins on there Derek stalking. We had been there for an hour. When much to my suprise Derek actually walked in and headed over to the bar.
"See we told you he always comes here."
"Now its just a matter of waiting for the girl to turn up."
The way we where sitting I was right against the wall so the wonder twins where facing away from me as they openly stared at Derek. So they didn't notice when I pulled my phone out to send Derek a message.
Derek
? Why are u here.
Karen
Karen
I felt like a drink darling.
Derek
Derek
Ah huh right a drink.
Karen
Karen
Why else would I be here?
Derek
Derek
Oh I dont know to cause trouble. You know Bobby and Jess are still expecting to see a woman.
Karen
Karen
Well I would of brought you but you already had plans to be here.
Derek
Before I could respond Jess turned around I barely managed to hide my phone.
"Did you see that he is obviously texting her look at that smile."
I looked an sure enough Derek was smilling.
"Why is he texting her though? Where is she."
"Maybe something has come up and she has to cancel." I offered
"That would be just our luck." Grumbled Jess.
"You should go talk to him." Bobby remarked starring right at me.
"Me why?"
"Because your so nice he wont think it supicious if you go over to say hi." Jess answered.
"Yeah and you can be your sweet self and find out more about this girl."
I rolled my eyes before agreeing. I needed a new drink anyway. Luckily there was a seat avaliable next to Dereks so I slid onto it.
"Hello Darling what brings you here."
"Aparently I'm so nice you won't think anything strange about me coming over here to say hi."
"I probably wouldn't have."
"Turn around and wave at them so it seems like I just told you I'm here with them."
He did as told before asking me what there plan was with sending me over here.
"Oh I'm meant to be my sweet self and get some answers about mystery girl."
"Ah well I dont know what I could tell you about your self that you don't already know."
"Oh I'm sure you could come up with something. Seeing your plans have rescheduled why don't you come join us."
"I'd love to."
So I lead Derek over to our table and explained to Bobby and Jess that his plans had to be rearanged so I invited him to join us.
What followed was the most awakwardly hilarious evening awakard for Bobby and Jess, hilarious for me and Derek. They both stayed for another hour before claiming the had to leave as they had an early start the next day.
I turned to Derek once the had left. "I hope you had fun I think you traumatised them."
"Oh darling it was very fun I should join you guys again."
"Yeah I don't think they will be inviting the dark lord to be there new drinking buddy."
"Oh well shall I walk you home darling."
"Yes please."
