A Dream She Never Saw Coming (A Carly Rae Jepson Discovery Redone)

17- My Ex-boyfriend is Our Waiter

                                                            Stacey’s POV

“What is going on?” Arianna asked coming into our room. “Cody just kissed me.” I said. “What!” Arianna said excitedly. “Will you get off my balcony Henry?” I asked walking onto the balcony.

“Sorry love, one more picture and I’m gone.” Henry said as I smiled and he snapped the picture and he walked out my hotel room.

“Who was that?” Arianna asked confused. “Henry, my favorite pap.” I said. “You’re on a first name basis with paparazzi?” Arianna asked laughing. “Hey not my fault Cody exploded and punched the other paparazzi that was with him in the jaw.” I said.

“Actually that is your fault.” Arianna said. “Shut up.” I said. “Now change I promised Alli we’d have dinner with her.” Arianna said.

“Cody’s not going to be there is he?” I asked. “Not if you don’t want him to.” Arianna said. “I don’t.” I said. “Alright I’ll give her a call now go change.” Arianna said as I picked some new clothes and went in the bathroom for a quick shower before we leave.

The minute we got home I went straight to my room and put on my headphones. I needed to get Stacey out my head but every song I had reminded me of her so I just thought I’d write a song about her and see if that helped, when my phone went off.

“Hello”

“Hey Alli its Arianna”

“Arianna, this is my number not Alli’s”

“Oh I guess I called the wrong Simpson, sorry” Arianna said as she hung up. 

“Hello”

“Hey Alli, its Arianna”

“Oh hey Arianna we’re still on for tonight right?”

“Yeah, yeah any chance you can get Cody not to come?”

“Stacey doesn’t want to see him huh?”

“Yeah so can you do that for me?”

“Sure, see you tonight!” Alli said as she hung up.

“Cody!” Alli called as she walked into my room. “What is it Als?” I asked. “I have dinner plans with Arianna and Stacey tonight.” Alli said. “Can I come?” I asked. “No, Stacey doesn’t want to see you.” Alli said. “Is she really that upset with me?” I asked.

“Yes, what are you doing anyway?” Alli asked because she noticed I was on my guitar. “Trying to get Stacey out my head but nothing’s working I tried listening to music but every song that came on made me think of her, and now I’m trying to write a song about how mad I am but I can’t.” I said as I threw another piece of paper at my trash bin.

“You’re not mad at her Codes, she’s mad at you, give her a call and try and talk things out.” Alli said unplugging my phone and tossing it me.

“Thanks Alli, have fun at dinner!” I called as she was leaving. What am I going to do, I thought to myself.

KNOCK KNOCK “Oh Alli’s here!” Arianna said excitedly as she opened the door. “Hi guys!” Alli said coming in and giving both Arianna and me mini hugs.

“Your brother’s not here is he?” I asked. “No Stacey Arianna told me to make sure Cody doesn’t come.” Alli said as a phone went off.

“Whose phone is that?” Arianna asked as she put finishing touches on her outfit from the mirror in the bathroom. “Mine,” I said as I went to look at who called. “Speak of the bastard.” I said as I ignored the call.

“You’re not even going to pick it up?” Alli asked. “No I don’t feel like dealing with him, we ready to go?” I asked as Arianna came out the bathroom.

“Let’s head out.” Arianna said as we walked out and down to the front doors of the hotel but had stopped so the hotel security could get paparazzi out the way of our car.

“Where are we going anyway?” I asked as we got in the limo. “We’re going to one of the nicest places in LA.” Alli said. “Not Kobe’s again, right?” Arianna asked. “No we’re going to Culina.” Alli said. “That sounds fancy, what do they have there?” I asked.

“The restaurant is what you’d get if an LA Sushi Place met a classic Beverly Hills Italian Restaurant.” Alli said. “That’s sounds delicious.” Arianna said. “Wait until you try it.” Alli said as we got out the limo greeted with flashing lights.

“Hi welcome to Culina, how may I help you?” the hostess asked as we finally got inside the restaurant. “We have a reservation under Simpson.” Alli said. “Alli, Stacey, and Arianna?” the hostess asked.

“That’s us.” I said. “Right this way,” she said as she grabbed three menus and brought us to our table. “Thank you.” I said as she handed the three of us our menus. “You’re server Justin will be right with you.” She said as she walked away.

“Ooh Justin, he sounds cute.” Alli said as Arianna and her giggled. “You two are so girly.” I said with a laugh.

“Hi I’m Justin and I’ll be your server for the evening.” Justin said.

“Justin?” I asked because the Justin in front of me is my ex-boyfriend.

“Stacey?” Justin said. “You know this guy?” Alli asked. “Of course I know this guy. He’s my ex-boyfriend.” I said as I smile came across my face.

“Is this why you wouldn’t date my brother because you still have feelings for your ex-boyfriend?” Alli asked as Arianna let out a loud laugh.

“She does not have feelings for this jackass.” Arianna said. “I am right here Arianna!” Justin said defensively. “Oh I know.” Arianna said.

The rest of dinner was not as bad as I thought I found out Justin’s here for the same couple of days we were because his Uncle own this place.

And because he was the owner’s nephew he was allowed to join us until the food was ready. So I had ordered Le Pizze Salsiccia without rapini. Arianna had ordered the Le Paste Ravioli. And Alli had Le Paste Rigatoni.

But Justin and I shared my pizza because he was allowed to join us for his break. But it was cute because it was just like we were dating again before he tried to make me sleep with him. Oh yeah I dumped him because he tried to make me sleep with him.

“Check?” I asked Justin as we each ate our last bites of pizza. “Consider it on the house, for my old girlfriend.” Justin said as he winked at me and I started blushing.

Not entirely because Justin winked at me but simply because whenever a guy winks at me no matter who it is it triggers my blush reflex, if that makes any sense.

“Where are you staying?” Justin asked. “The Wilshire.” I said. “Me too.” Justin said. “Seriously?” I asked as he nodded. “Alli, do you think we could give Justin a ride?” I asked. “Not at all, a friend of yours is a friend of mine.” Alli said as we were walking towards the doors.

“You ready for this Justin?” I asked. “What are you talking about?” Justin asked. “You guys have to go now they can only hold them for so long.” The hostess said.

“Do not let go of my hand.” I said. “I won’t.” Justin said as we walked out the doors with paparazzi trying to get through in every direction.
