Love At First Concert (Joe Taylor)

19

We walked inside and got in line. Derek ordered for me. "Okay that will be 12 dollars even.". The man taking our order said. I pulled out my wallet before Derek could. I handed the man a twenty. He handed my the change and gave us a blue timer. "I could of paid for that.". He protested. "Oh shut up.". I laughed.

We sat at the small booth waiting for our food. "So uh when are you going back home?". I asked. He sighed. "I'm thinking about getting an apartment in Bedford.". He said. I gasped. "Your gonna move here!?". I asked. He nodded. "Things just aren't going that well back in L.A..". He explained. "Why is that i-if you d-don't mind me asking?". I asked. Just then our timer went off. "I'll be back.". He said getting up. "Okay.". I said.

He got up and went to get are stuff. I pulled out my phone. "Fuck 3%.". I mumbled. He came back with a tray. He sat it down. "Hey, can I use your camera?". I asked. He nodded. I opened his camera and looked at myself. "I look like shit.". I sigh. He started placing my food and drink in front of me. He kissed my cheek. I blushed. "You're beautiful.". He said. I smiled.

I opened the cream cheese and began to put it on my bagel. He took a bite of his pound cake he ordered. I sat down my bagel and took a drink of my iced coffee. "So uh, back to the question?". I asked. He took a drink of his coffee. "Right, I mean I love LA but I think I just need to get away, I mean Grey's mother is to much to handle. After we ended our marriage she got really shitty​ towards me and it's not good for grey, I mean it was her idea to get a divorce in the first place you know?". He said taking another bite of his pound cake.

"Yeah I understand, I don't really date, I'm just to scared of the aftermath. I mean the hickey you gave me was the closest thing I've ever got that was anything sexual.". I laughed. "Oh, I wanted to ask about that, are you like one of those people who wait for marriage for all of that? Because I mean its cool, like being protestant.". He said drinking his coffee.

I laughed. "Me protestant​? Hell no. I don't even believe in God.". I laughed. "Oh okay. Cool.". He said awkwardly. "So then why haven't you had your first kiss? I mean besides the aftermath?". He asked. I thought. "I-i don't know, I just never really put myself out there, the only time was with Joe, I really fucking liked him.". I said sighing. "Tell him.". Derek said. I looked up. "Like he would care.". I said drinking​more coffee.

   "If he didn't care he wouldn't of came to see you.". He mumbled. "What?". I asked looking at him. "If he didn't care he wouldn't of came to see you.". He said raising his voice.

   "What are you saying?". I asked. "I'm saying text him, ask why. Talk to him.". He groaned​.
