•Jen’s POV•

As soon as he tells me this I go into shock. Goosebumps run down my neck from his breath. I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to stay here with him as my waiter. I see a hand waving in front of my eyes.

“Jen, hello? Jen?” I hear from Josh. I shake back to reality.

“Sorry. Uhh, whoops I dropped my spoon this time.” I say throwing my spoon on the ground and crawl under the table. Once again Josh follows me.

“Whats wrong?” He whispers.

“We need to leave.” I whisper back.

“Why?”

“I don’t feel comfortable with Nick as our waiter.” I say not telling him what Nick said.

“We could ask for a different waiter for you.”

“No, I don't want to seem bossy and rude.”

“I can do it for you if you want.” He says coming close to me.

“Please,” I plead to him quietly. He kisses my cheek and we crawl back to our seats. We tell the table about my dilemma and agree to ask for the manager. 

The manager walks in about 3 minutes after Francis has kindly asked to speak to him.

“Is their a problem?” The manager asks Francis.

“No… Well, sort of. We need a new waiter. Our current waiter is the ex of a cast member, and they aren’t comfortable with that. Do you mind?”

“Not at all, Mr. Lawrence. We will have one of our finest at your service.”

“Thank you very much.” Francis reply’s smiling.

I drink all of my water because I am a little worried that Nick will come back and say something else to me causing goosebumps. I ask our new waiter, a very young, short, blond haired, hazel eyed boy, for another glass of water. As soon as he brings it out, I drink all of it and I’m shoving the ice in my mouth to chew on it. I should really stop because I feel like I’m going to piss my pants.

“I’m going to the bathroom, does anyone care to join?” I say standing up.

“I’ll come,” Sam says, standing from his chair. We walk out of our private room and begin walking to the bathroom. 

“Sorry about your break up,” Sam says as we walk side by side.

“It’s fine. I don’t really like Nick very much anymore.” I say and see Nick is approaching. I gasp.

“Sam, please back me up at whatever he says, please. Back in the room he said he still loved me and I don’t love him, please help me.”

“Calm down, I’ve got your back.” He says as Nick comes up in front of me.

“Who is this, your new boyfriend?” He says gesturing to Sam.

“Uh, yes. Now we best be going now.” Sam says trying to help me out and proceed to the bathroom. We try to move but Nick wont allow us to. He comes in really close to my face, so that we’re almost touching.

“You know, getting rid of me wont make me love you any less.” Nick says with an awful scent to his breath. 

“You broke up with me!” I say almost shouting. Sam pulls me back and steps in front of me.

“Look, I know you broke up with her today, and she obviously doesn’t like you anymore, so if you could please move so we can just use the bathroom.” Sam says to Nick in a stern voice. I come up behind Sam and try to get back into the conversation.

“Nick, like you said earlier, we’re over. I’ve moved on obviously, so if you could please just bear with the fact that we aren’t getting back together.”

“I have an odd feeling this fool is just trying to help you out to make me think you don’t like me.” Nick says with a grin.

“I need proof.” Nick says. I turn to Sam and look into his eyes. I feel awful but I just need Nick out of my life, so we lean in and kiss each other on the lips. Even with my eyes closed I can see cameras flashing. I pull away and Sam and I rush into the family bathroom.
