Orlando walked into his room and laid down on his king size bed and groaned. He believed there were only two reasons as to why Keira was being so nice and polite towards him: A) to make everything less awkward or B) she could be trying to use him once again.
"Why is this so complicated! You say you love me, and then you dump me because you say you used me, you cry at the premiere, and then you smile and act like everything is fine" he said in his room out loud. He got up from his bed and walked over to his luggage to pull out the ring she gave him.
"I know I'm still in love with you but loving you is too hurtful, confusing and complicated especially since you don't feel the same way so the best thing will be to stay away" he said as he looked at the ring.
If they only had a professional relationship, Orlando wouldn't have to worry about being tricked again and\or suffer the pain for not being able to have her like he use to.
He sighed as he placed the ring back down in its box and went to the bath room to take a shower. 15 minutes later he came out with a towel wrapped around him. He looked through all 9 of his luggage bags and decided on wearing black shoes, black pants with a grey button down and black tie. He wore his dark brown curls down and put on a white gold Rolex watch.
"Not bad" he said as he grinned at his appearance in the mirror. Then he grabbed his key off the dresser and walked out his door. He looked to his right and saw Keira's door open. She came out wearing a red skin tight dress that ended right in the middle of her knee and thigh with black high heel pumps. The dress had one strap that crossed over from the right side to her left shoulder. Her hair was loose and it lay on her right shoulder with her bangs pushed over to the side of her face. On her neck laid the necklace Orlando gave her for her 18th birthday: the one with the Sherbet ice cream cone. He then looked at her left hand and saw her skull ring that matched the one he had in his room, the ring he gave her on her birthday too. He grinned at the memory of that day and that night.
She walked out of her door not noticing him at first. She looked up from the ground and came face to face with him.
"Hi" she said with a smile growing on her red lips.
"Hi" Orlando said back standing in front of her with his hands in his pockets.
"Are you heading down stairs too? Why don't we walk together?" she asked with the small smile still on her face. Orlando nodded and the two walked down the hall to the elevator. Keira pushed the button with the one on it and the doors quickly closed.
"So much for staying away 0rlando" he said to himself in his head.
"So are you excited the start filming another Pirates film?" Keira asked trying to make conversation interrupting his thoughts.
Orlando cleared his throat before answering. "Yeah, I am. The first one was really fun."
"Yeah I remember" she said with a small smile. The rest of the elevator ride was quiet. When they reached the first floor Keira exited the elevator first with Orlando not too far behind. They walked into the lobby and saw that everyone was waiting for them.
"Look who's here" said Gore as he saw the two ex's approaching the group.
"You look lovely" said Geoffrey as he smiled at the young actress. "Orlando you look lovely too" he added to be witty. Everyone laughed.
"Well then what are we in the mood for?" asked Jerry.
"I heard there is this excellent sea food restaurant if you guys want to try that" added Jerry when no one said anything.
Everyone nodded and the six made their way to the restaurant called El Mar.
"Hello my name is Robert and I'll be your server today" said a middle aged man with green eyes and light brown hair. "What can I get you guys to drink?"
"I'll have red wine" said Jerry.
Gore thought then said he'd have the same. The rest of the guy's asked for beer.
"Keira what about you? Do you want milk or apple juice?" said Geoffrey sarcastically. This made everyone at the table laugh except for Orlando who only grinned when he saw Keira's death glare.
"Ha-ha very clever. I'll have a virgin pina colada" replied Keira.
"Ok I'll be right back in a minute with your drinks and to get your orders."
Robert walked away and came back in 7 minutes with everyone's beverages. He took their order and in 15 minutes the cast was eating their food.
"This is delicious" said Johnny with his mouth full. This caused Keira to giggle.
"You say that every time you eat something" replied Orlando as he grinned at his co-star who was stuffing his face.
"Well, I wouldn't eat something that wasn't delicious would I?"
After an hour and a half of eating, chatting, Orlando trying to avoid Keira and Keira trying to make conversation with him, the cast was done with their meal.
"Let me just give you a summary of what's going to happen. The next two weeks will be spent perfecting the set in Walt Disney Studios, fixing costumes, making sure everything is set with Palos Verdes etc etc etc" said Gore as he paid the waiter.
Jerry added "you guys only have to go in for costume appointments, and to practice your sword fight routines. Other than that you guys are enjoying yourselves here until we start filming on the 28th. Geoffrey will be here for these two weeks then will fly back home and we won't see him till the very end of filming this movie."
Johnny looked at Geoffrey and patted him on the back. "We'll miss you pal."
"I'll be back before you know it."
"We know you will" said Gore with a smile.
"But that's pretty much it. We'll inform you of any other changes along the way. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to retire for the evening."
"Me too, I have to get up early to head to the set" said Jerry.
Geoffrey thought then nodded "I'll go too. I promised my wife I'd call her as soon as I got here."
Then three men said good night and left the other three leads sitting at the table.
"Well then what do you say we go get some ice cream?" asked Keira looking towards Johnny and Orlando.
"Sounds good" said Johnny with a smile.
"Orlando you coming?" asked Keira hope fully. "Please say yes" she said in her head. She wanted to be with him as much as possible to slowly try and gain his trust back, or at least his friend ship.
"I umm I'm actually a little tired" he lied.
"Oh" said Keira as she looked down at the table. Orlando said good night to his two co-stars and walked out the restaurant door.
"So, so do you still want to go?" asked Johnny awkwardly as he saw Keira"s expression.
"I think I'm going to go for a walk" said Keira a little upset. "Good night Johnny." Keira gave him a small smile before she got up and walked out the restaurant door leaving Johnny alone.
"No one ever waits for the main lead now do they" said Johnny to himself as he got up and exited the restaurant as well.
