Another update! Y'all are so lucky. As for the restaurant mentioned in this...it is a real place that my friend (who lives in New York) visits often. She says it's excellent so I used it. :) Hope you like!It's a masterful melody
When she calls out my name to me
As the world spins around her
She laughs, rolls her eyes
And I feel like I'm falling
But it's no surprise
[Out of My League – Stephen Speaks]
The plane ride was not uneventful in the least. Not by a long shot. I made it onto the plane with minimal interruption of fan activity. I had just settled in to my first class seat when a fellow first class passenger recognized me. She screamed and rushed to my side. I signed her Cosmo magazine and hoped that she would settle down. She did for the most part, only sneaking glances at me every once in a while. About forty minutes after we had taken off, the plane hit some of the worst turbulence I had ever experienced. Fan girl decided that it was too much for her and threw up. She missed her barf bag. After the flight attendant cleaned it up, she decided it would be the perfect time to not so subtly flirt with me. The old Derek would have gone into the bathroom with her and made himself apart of the Mile High Club. However, Casey had infiltrated my heart and I was a changed man. The worse part about it was the fact that she was still holding the barf rag. Sick. Some other minor things happened but it all doesn't matter. I'm here now. I have my luggage in hand and I am scanning the area for Casey. I am also praying that my sunglasses and hat will be enough to keep the fans off me long enough to find her.
Oh God! Casey will probably freak if the fans see us. She, although an amazing performer, was not used to what I had to go through. It's funny the difference between fans of movie actors and of theatre actors. Big difference. And if the press sees us, they will probably put us together in the magazines. Casey would have a cow.
"Derek!" a very beautiful voice calls out.
And I'm literally floating on a freaking cloud. Casey's voice is beautiful. But, there's something so enchanting when it is in the same room with me. Not just over the phone or over the internet.
I turn to where I see her and I feel like I am stopped dead in my tracks. She's wearing a simple pair of skinny jeans and a tight fitting sweater. Weather is still pretty chilly in New York in March.
Everything is still going on around us but she only sees me and I only see her. She's laughing and rolling her eyes and beckoning me to go to her.
And I do. I wrap her in my arms and it's like falling in love with her all over again. I can't help it. I'm like a moth to a candle. I want to kiss her but I know better.
"I've missed you," she says as she pulls away.
"I've missed you more," I cheekily reply.
"Come on, let's go get a taxi and go eat! I'm sure you are starving," she says as she loops her arm through mine.
"I ate on the plane, but you know me, I'm always willing to eat," I say which ears a laugh from my beautiful companion.
As we head out of the airport all hell breaks loose. Someone recognizes me and instantly there are a frenzy of girls rushing towards us. I happen to see an open taxi and pull Casey in behind me. We somehow manage to get out of there alive.
"Holy cow, Derek, what was that?"
"Sorry, Case, it's just what happens with me."
I was feeling really down now. If she wasn't happy with that, she would never want to be my girlfriend. She wouldn't be able to stand what came with the title.
"It's cool just a little bit freaky. You are just Derek to me, not some amazingly hott actor!"
"Thanks Case…"
"Der-ek! You know what I meant!"
"Yeah, yeah…so where are we going to eat?"
"That's the Derek I know and love!"
Did she really just say love? She's just sitting in the taxi like it's no big deal so she must mean 'love' like you love a dog or Edwin…I'm so confused.
The taxi stopped outside of a place called Joselito Restaurant.
"I hope this is okay. It's really good and pretty close to my place."
"It's perfect, Case."
We ate and conversed but I was really worried about once we got back to her apartment. Once we were done I paid the bill and we grabbed another taxi and headed back to her place.
"How do you like it, Derek?"
"It's really great."
"I'm glad you like it! You'll be sleeping on the futon. Is that okay?"
"Perfect Case."
"Good. Want to watch a movie?"
"Let's do it."
Let me know what y'all think! Review please? I love them!
