"We should probably have warned them about the big order," Rudy says as we're pulling into the fast-food joint.

"We could just split the orders into four?" I suggest.

"We could just do half. I don't think it'll be that bad," Drew suggests. We all agree, and I share the text message to all of them, and we figure out who is ordering what. Once we figure it out, we head into the restaurant. Rudy and JD go first and I feel bad for the young girl behind the cash register because they have too much energy and are speaking way too fast. I shake my head and laugh at them, causing Drew to look at me.

"What?" he asks, smiling.

"Your friends are something else," I say gesturing towards the two boys and the teenager who looks like she is about to cry. He laughs and nods his head

"hHey they're your friends now too we all are," he says and I blush as he puts his arm around me for a second and messes up my hair.

"Drew stop I swear to god," I say shoving him off and fixing my hair, laughing. Finally Rudy finishes their order and they go off to the side to wait. I follow behind Drew and get out my phone to pull up the order.

"Hello," Drew says to the young teen girl.

"Hi, sorry about the wait, the last customer had a large order,"She says flustered.

"No worries sweetheart, we're actually with them and have a decently large order too if you're alright with that," He says to her sweetly, seeming to calm her down.

"Yep, ready when you are," She says. Drew looks to me and I put my phone towards him more. He starts reading off orders slowly but places his hand under mine holding the phone still as I'm shaking it in mid air. I ignore the butterflies and just read over the text as he speaks to make sure he doesn't mess up anyones order. Once we're done he lets go of my hand and reaches in his back pocket grabbing his wallet. He gets out his credit card and hands it to the girl.

"Do you guys accept tip?" He asks and the girl nods pressing a button on the register that bring up a menu on the keypad for Drew. I watch as he adds a $300 tip to the order. The girl sees the amount once he completes it and gasps.

"Wow, thank you so much," She says shocked to Drew.

"It's not a problem at all, you deserve it after dealing with our orders, thank you! Have a great day," He says and takes the receipt from her, going to stand next to Rudy and JD, with me following close behind. 

We all collectively grab the orders as they're called and double check that we have all of the orders before we leave, thanking the workers again. I was assigned to carry drinks and currently have two drink holders occupying my arms. Rudy opens my door after he places all the bags that he has in the trunk. I get in saying thank you as he also shuts the door once I'm completely in. Once we're all situated in the car he backs out and heads back to set.

"Alright 15 minutes, not bad," I say after looking at the time on the dash.

"So, Alyssa you ready to start falling in love with me?" Rudy asks jokingly. At first I'm confused but then I realize he means our next scene coming up and laugh. Even though I laugh I notice Drews demenour change to, almost mad?

"Oh for sure, I'm a pretty good actress so shouldn't be hard," I joke back.

"I actually don't think you'll need to be faking it," He says and winks at me, then points his head towards Drew. I notice that Drew hasn't said anything and is gripping his phone hard.
