wrong? I hope I haven’t caused any problems for you.”
“Not at all. How was your day?” I repeat again, avoiding the conversation.
“I don’t believe you. What happened?” His tone screams concern so I decide to go through the short version of my day. As I finish, there’s a knock at the door.
“One second, Eoin, someone’s knocking.” It’s Crystal. I motion for her to come inside and have a seat while I finish my conversation with Eoin.
“Sorry, Crystal just came by.”
“It’s okay. Should I let you go?” he asks.
“No, we can talk. I just had an altercation with my sous chef earlier. And before you ask, yes, I took care of it. How are you?” I ask, again avoiding any further discussion.
“My day was long but very good. I miss you so much! Have you started to make arrangements to come out here yet?”
“I sure did. Jessie knows he’ll be in charge of everything. I’ll make out a list tomorrow for him. He’s on thin ice so this is his test.” I grin at that thought. Little shit wants to act like he’s better than me! Let’s find out.
We finish up our talk and he ends the call with, “So ready to hold you.” I could just eat my phone! I laugh and tell him good night.
I hang up, having totally forgotten I have company until Crystal abruptly yells out, “Dude! I fucking hate you!” She laughs.
“I’m in complete shock at all of this, believe me,” I reply. “Never in a million years did I think I could ever be this lucky!” I shake my head in disbelief.
“You have to tell me how the fuck you pulled this off! I mean, how the hell did it go down?” She has this look that makes me laugh out loud.
I begin to tell her the whole story and she just sits there with her jaw dropped, listening intently.
“You’re such a lucky bitch! Where do you see this going?” That’s a damn good question. I sit silently, thinking for a moment.
“I’ve really got no clue but this is just fine with me for right now.”
“He’s famous and super hot. You really think he’s being serious when he says he misses you and wants you out there?”
“Why the fuck would he say it otherwise, though? I mean, he could’ve just dropped me after the convention, but instead he chose to show up at the restaurant! It’s all a dream, really! A dream come to life and I’m speechless! He’s even more wonderful than I could have ever imagined and it’s… I really just have no words, Crystal.” I do a little dance in my seat as I say this.
She starts to dance with me and we begin to laugh so hard, we cry.
“Oh, my God, dude! I’m going to piss! How are things at home?” I need to catch up with her, home wise. I can tell by what she’s saying that things are good but not at the same time, which makes me sad. She’s happy but misses home. I miss her here, too. We had so much fun! I walk over to the cabinet and grab the Jäger.
Holding it up, I say, “Ready to get lit?” I laugh and she gets up and pours shots.
We knock them back and put some music on and begin to act like total fools, laughing, dancing and just getting straight crazy!
We do shots in between songs, plus take never-ending pee breaks. A familiar song comes on. I can’t believe I still have it on my phone! It’s from one of the Austin Powers’ movies. We start to do the dance, and of course, we know all the words...
When it finishes, we fall on the couch, in sheer gut-wrenching laughter.
“I miss being young and dicking around,” I say with a laugh.
“Me, too, but now you get to play with Eoin’s-”
“Shut up, dude.” I laugh so hard that I cry.
“What? Just stating the obvious,” she replies with a shrug and a silly smile.
“I know you are. It’s so choice, too! I really want talk to him but I bet he’s passed out.”
Crystal grabs my phone and dials him. I rush to my feet, only to meet the floor!
Laughing, she says, “Hi, Eoin.” Oh , fuck, he answered!
“Lea just took a face plant trying to stop me
