Together... and Apart

Part 24

(Neon Nights Bar, December 4th 1995)

I really don't recommend skipping this chapter...

Jennifer's POV:

We're at this restaurant/bar right now, with Court, David, Lisa, Matt and Matthew. It's really nice. We've decided to go today since it's our last day of filming before Christmas break. We're having a break from shooting a little earlier this year because we're extremely ahead of things. We'll continue in January though. 

A bunch of thoughts keep coming and going... it's just annoying. They're mostly about David and I, and about everything that's going on at the studio. It's stressing me out a little; I need a little break. Not from David and I of course, I would never want a break from him. I can't even imagine not seeing those chocolate brown puppy dog eyes everyday... kissing him and cuddling with him. I'm just not sure where our relationship is going. It feels like we're drifting apart more, and I hate it. Our love for each other isn't as strong as before either. 

I'm also wondering about how to start telling the public about our relationship. I want to start moving our relationship forward, in a positive, responsible way. See, I've always wanted to have a perfect family and a perfect husband. When I was little, the atmosphere was no where near like that. Everyone hated each other, my mom and dad especially. That all lays in the past though, I hope I can avoid the problems they came upon, so I won't have to go through that with David. Realistically, I don't know where we're heading. I want to marry him, I love him. But at the same time, I don't think I'm ready. 

I keep getting lost in my thoughts, I had no idea I was staring blankly at the ketchup bottle laying in the middle of the table.

"Earth to Jen..? Hellooo?!" Court says as she's waving her hand in front of my face, causing me to jump out of my seat a little. My eyes become unfocused on the red bottle, they move upwards until they meet the eyes of a handsome man. He looks back at me lovingly, a soft smile spread across his lips. His smile is literally so contagious, I smile back. 

"Jesus Christ you two, stop staring at each other 24/7 and start dating!" Lisa protests while banging her hand on the table. I chuckle slowly, I know she's referring to David and I, who are in fact still looking deeply in each other's eyes. Little do they know, little do they know.

Some time passed, we already ate dinner. I had a beef burger and fries which were really delicious. David had a steak with fries and beer to the side. It's about 8pm right now, the sun is set outside, so its pitch black. The sky was pretty cloudy when we came in, it was grey. I personally love rain, I love the noises of the rain hitting the glass windows, and I extremely love the noise of thunder. It started raining about half an hour ago, only lightly though. 

I keep on glancing at David who's talking to the guys, they're all sitting at the bar while Court, Lisa and I are sitting at the booth. We've been talking for some time, apparently Lisa met a special someone. We've been discussing about the show a little as well.

"Oh! Jennifer..! Aren't you dating someone..? Because last time I went to your house I saw a men's razor on your sink," Courteney says, smirking and raising an eyebrow.

"Oh my god! Really? Who is it?!" Lisa exclaims. 

"I erm, I don't know what your talking about." I respond sternly, trying to hide my face behind my glass filled with Rum and Coke. 

"You said you would tell me about him! C'mon Jennifer," Court continues. I shake my head no.

"Fine, just tell us if he's good in bed." Lisa protests. At that moment, the boys come back to our table.
