SPOV
Once at the restaurant, Sal'
Pierce, we went straight in through the front doors and headed for
the back of the restaurant following behind our server. Tawni took
the seat facing out the window and I took the other window view. Zora
smiled sliding into the seat in front of the window. After leaving to
get out waters we flipped open the menus and decided on what we would
get.
"So Tawni how is everything with you and Brandon?" Sonny asked smiling at her blonde friend. Tawni smiled back, "We are doing great. I have a date with him tomorrow and that night we are flying to New York for a visit to his folks." I couldn't be happier for her. I remembered when Chad and I were dating. Everything had been so much fun for us. We had enjoyed going to a bunch of different places to visit.
I quickly looked at Zora, "Any guys in the picture?"
"Nope, I'm not into the whole love thing." Because of that Tawni and me began to laugh. "That's what you say now but in a little while you won't feel that way anymore." Tawni said.
After some more chit chat we finally got our food. Tawni got a rack of lamb, Zora ordered a chicken breast (she loved anything that was chicken), and I got a steak. After an hour of eating and small chat we finally paid and left Sal' Pierce. From there we headed down to the beach. When we arrived the moon was shining across the water.
It was very peaceful. We grabbed a huge blanket from the trunk and spread it out on the sand while watching the waves crash against the shore. The three of us sat in silence while mesmerized by the waves. Finally, after thirty minutes Zora spoke, "You know I don't get it. Why do you want to get married Tawni?"
Immediately I snapped my head over to Tawni. She was smiling, "Because if you look at Chad and Sonny you notice that they seem so happy. I want that life for me. I want to live out my happily ever after with Brandon." Before I could stop myself I asked, "Has he pulled out the ring yet?" Tawni frowned, "No."
I spoke hoping to comfort her, "That doesn't mean he won't." A smile crept back onto her face, "Maybe he will. Hopefully."
After that we sat in more silence until I finally asked, "So how is the movie about a normal girl living in Kentucky who meets her twin brother going?" Zora smiled, "It's great. We are done with it. Now we are waiting for them to release it to theaters."
"That's great Zora. Tawni any parts you are playing recently?" Tawni frowned, "No, I got that big audition coming up. Everyone I have talked to says that I will get it no matter what. If I get it then I get to go to Europe for a little while to shoot it. They said Brandon could come with me. So I'll be happy." Now Zora was the one cheering, "Way to go Tawni! I haven't got to shoot one out of the country yet."
I laughed and so did Tawni. Before we knew it we were running around chasing each other trying to get each other soaked. When Tawni got my feet in the water Zora charged us only to fall straight into the water when Tawni pushed her at me and I knocked her down so I could stay up. Zora laughed and so did Tawni. After a little more chasing I finally quite exhausted. It wasn't long before they did the same.
After we dried Zora off we got back into Tawni's car and they drove me home. "Have fun! Don't forget to call me if anything comes up while I am away." Tawni yelled out the window while backing out of our drive. Zora waved out the window and smiled at me. I loved my friends because they didn't have to pretend to be something they aren't. They are so much fun and it would be hard to change that.
