Dinner || Marzia and Kyle
Marzia parked the car outside the small little diner, getting out and making her way inside to get a seat. Talking to her children again made her feel better on the inside, especially since she had been lacking social contact with anyone lately. Hopefully this step she was talking with her children would be able to help become closer to them again. She couldn't bear the thought of her children avoiding her and disliking her for whatever reason.
She sat down at a small booth in the corner and picked up a menu, taking a glance through while she waited for Kyle.
Dinner(03)
Joseph was nervous about Mary Elizabeth's reaction. He hoped she would take to his words kindly, take them as a compliment rather than getting offended. He meant them as a compliment, he would never trying to make Mary Elizabeth uncomfortable on purpose nor was it his goal to upset her. He held his breath until he saw the familiar smile and with that his heart stopped beating erractically. She was okay with him and everything he had just said, she wasn't upset or offended. She didn't get up and walk out, she was still right there. Joseph knew in his head that she wouldn't over react, Mary Elizabeth was one of the most laid back people he knew yet it was still a fear that one day she would no longer want to put up with him and his quirks.
The prospect of another sleepover made his grin grow larger as he leaned back in his chair, confident once more. "I think you just want another million roses, I think that's all you care about" he teased, poking fun at his mistake from the first sleepover. Of course he wanted to have her over again, he wanted to have any amount of time with her from hours to sheer minutes. Any time spent in her presence was far better than whatever he spent away from her. Before he could say anything else the waiter came around and took their orders and once the man in black left Joseph leaned forward "Ater dinner want to go do something else?" he asked quietly. Though he loved his friends Joseph was more concerned about spending time with her. His friends were always around, but she was not.
Visions of them walking to the park and talking for hours floated through his head. Maybe they could get coffee and laugh like old times at the people walking by. Maybe he could covince her to spend the night and maybe then he could get the courage up to tell her the truth. To spill that he still loved her and wanted a second chance. Though he was never busier Joseph knew that if he had one more shot to prove his affection that he could make it work. She was no longer just an added perk to his lifestyle but a priority far beyond anything else. Joseph would make her realize that she was more important to him, he would do all the things he should have done years ago to keep her with him. He would do anything for her and to make her a part of his life once more. Though the idea of sharing all that sounded perfect in his head Joseph knew it probably would never happen, he lost all courage every time she looked at him. She was a Queen and he was a peasant, he simply could never be enough.
Dinner(02)
Mary Elizabeth's confidence never ceased to amaze Joseph. She didn't even miss a beat smiling that perfect smile and sticking out a manicured hand. Everyone at this table knew their history. Who didn't know their history? They had been together for so long and had met many of these people together. Joseph could see a few people watching them, curious as one would watch apes interacting at the zoo, almost enthralled to see how they would act with each other. Many expected animosity, the break up hadn't been bad but hard on both, and no one knew that they were actually on excellent terms. Better terms than they had been in years. It was as if many thought that just because they broke up that they should hate one another but Joseph could never hate her. He loved her and his love was still as strong as the first day he got a glimpse of the beautiful young girl.
"A fan? Well I'm charmed, remind me to sign something before you leave Miss Winstead" Joseph teased with a wink as he took her petite hand, kissing the top before letting it go. This gesture seemed to grab more attention and soon things were quieting down around them. "You look positively ravishing" Joseph told her, allowing his tongue to pass over his bottom lip playfully, as he zeroed his attention in on her. She didn't need to know how terrible the last few weeks had been. Joseph never wanted her to think of him pathetic, or worse that it was her fault. His favorite part of Mary Elizabeth was that she had a heart made of solid gold. She was the kind of person who ran into a wall and apologized to the wall, she was sweet to the core and if she knew how upset he had been she would have been gutted. And that in itself was enough to break his heart worse than she ever could by simply throwing in the towel with him.
"Blue certainly is your color, I know I say that about every color but navy does wonders for you" Joseph was very good at playing it cool. He was suave and he knew how to treat a lady no matter how easily freaked he was on the inside. He was sweating bullets on the inside afraid that Mary Elizabeth would turn her nose up to him. Once everyone around him seemed to be busy chatting once more Joseph felt comfortable enough to slump forward, leaning his lanky frame across the table of sorts and lowering his voice "I'm sorry I haven't called" he told her quietly, making sure to keep his eyes level to hers. "I didn't....I didn't want to seem needy" he told her quietly, dropping his eyes to look at the white table, "I missed you a lot and I just didn't want you to think that I couldn't handle seeing you".
Dinner (01)
Three long weeks. Three weeks since Joseph had seen Mary Elizabeth. Almost three weeks since he had left his house. It didn’t surprise him this time; he knew it was coming just as it had every time before. She had gotten up and left and Joseph felt nothing but emptiness. He could barely eat, barely sleep, all he did was sit at the window hoping her car would pull up the circular drive. It was pathetic, really, this sitting and staring. He felt much like that stupid scene from Twilight when Bella waited for months on Edward, that thought just made him feel worse, he was more pathetic than the worst part of cinematic history. It crossed his mind to call her, it was the sensible answer. Call her and invite her over once more, it was what a normal human would do. Joseph wasn’t normal. He would pick up the phone and stare wistfully at it for minutes at a time. He wanted her to call, wanted her to make the first move so he didn’t look desperate.
Joseph was desperate though, very desperate for her touch, her voice, just her presence. Spending even one night at her side had reminded him of what he had left walk away. She wasn’t just a girl, she wasn’t just another page in his book. Joseph knew that but he wasn’t sure if she did. He didn’t want to push her so instead he just drove himself crazy. On the bright side he wrote a lot; new movie plots, books, and poems sprung from the tortured mind. He wrote best when he was miserable and miserable he was. So it was a miracle when he was coaxed out of the house to enjoy a low key dinner with a few friends. A locally owned eatery, very small and yet as he was dressing Joseph wanted nothing more than to just lay back down in bed. His tie felt like a noose, tightening as he made efforts to get out of the house. His friends knew he was miserable, the reason was unknown, yet they could tell because no one had seen him for a while.
They would be in for a surprise when they saw him. His skin was sallow, his eyes with bags, and his cheeks sunken in. He didn’t look well yet he put a smile on his face as he splashed himself with water. IF he told himself was better than maybe he could fake it enough for everyone else. He didn’t want his friends finding out that it was a girl that had caused him so much grief so instead he rolled up the sleeves of his dress sleeves and practiced being the carefree Joseph they knew. Maybe tonight would be good, he could sit and laugh. Joke around and drink, maybe she wouldn’t pass his mind. Maybe tonight was the night that he could finally get around to feeling better. It looked more and more positive as the closer he got to the actual dinner. Twenty minutes to he was in his car and on his way to the restaurant. Once joining the party her name was lightyears away.
Down near the end that was his table setting, smiling and shaking hands with everyone he barely noticed the large volume of friends. He barely noticed anything as he made his way robotically down the table. A “Hey, how you doing?” to everyone he passed. Sitting down a big grin was on his laps and with a flourish he set his crisp white napkin on his lap. Mary Elizabeth who? Calling down the table he laughed as someone ordered him a drink and leaning back slightly, just enough to tip his chair onto two legs, Joseph Gordon Levitt began to relax. It ended very quickly because as he looked up a ghost seemed to appear. It was enough to scare him into letting his chair fall with a thud back onto four feet. The girl he had tried so hard to get away from was sitting square across from him like some angel. Was he seeing things? Was this real? But this was as true as anything he’d felt in the last two weeks as a soft smile met him from across the table and swallowing an audible gulp Joseph was back in his weird place again, never to recover, “Hello, Mary Elizabeth”.
Dinner || Jack & Selena
Selena looked through her closet thinking of what to wear. It was just a casual dinner at his place. She grabbed some clothes from the hangers getting dressed. She looked in the mirror fixing her hair before grabbing her keys. She walked down the stairs out to her car, then drove over to his place. She pulled into his driveway parking next to his car getting out walking up to the door. She took a deep breath biting her bottom lip nervously trying to calm herself down. She knocked on the door waiting for him to answer.
