My Fresh Air ~ Jeff Wittek

Chapter 26

* Jeff's POV * 

As I pull up to the parking lot of the Santa Monica Pier, she sits up a bit straighter to get a better look of where we are at. I take a peek at her reaction and her face brightens. This place isn't really that mind blowing but I figured it would be nice since it's next to the beach and we can focus on talking. 

" Anddd we're here, " I put the car in park. We both get out and started walking to the pier.

" Aw, this is so cute " she whispers as pressed her hands to her cheek.

" I hope this place is cool with you. I know that there aren't really any rides so if you don't want to ride any then that's cool " 

" Oh please! This is really great. Trust me. " She gets a bit closer to me. I bring my hand up to her lower back as we walk closer.  

" Have you had dinner yet? " I ask

" No, I can get something in my stomach before we have fun " 

" Okay, let's go to Seaside on the Pier " I suggest and she nods. 

When we continue to walk to the restaurant, I see that some teenage girls are staring at us. I kind of speed up my pace to get inside. The waitress finds us a table and we sit down. We both grab the menus to see what we're gonna order.  I raise my hand to get a waitress to get our order. I guess she recognizes who we are because her eyes widen. 

She slightly freaks out, " Aspyn and Jeff omg! You're here!!! Can I please take a picture with you guys?! "

I look at Aspyn to make sure if she's comfortable with this. She gives a slight shrug and nods. 

" Here, let me take the picture, " Aspyn says as the waitress tries to quickly pull out her phone from her pocket. 

" Hey! What's your name? " I ask her as we both pose.

" My - my name is Miranda " she stutters.

" It's very nice to meet you, Miranda " I hug her and got the phone from Aspyn so that Miranda can get another picture. 

" Miranda, it's nice to meet you, sweetheart! " Aspyn says as they smile for the picture. 

Aspyn and I both hug her again and sit back down so that she can take our order. 

" Thank you so much! I'm just a really big fan of both of you " she takes out a notepad and a pen. 

" No, thank you for your support lovely! " Aspyn smiles at her. She looks back at me, " Do you know what you're ordering? " I nod.

" Can I please get a Seaside burger with a side of fries, please? " I tell her and she writes it down

" What drink would you like to go with that? " 

" A corona would be good " 

She turns to Aspyn, " And for you ma'am? " 

Aspyn picks up her menu and points to the item. She turns the menu to see what their options for drinks were,  " I'll get the Seafood pasta and a glass of Malbec, please. Jeff, do you want a glass of water also? " 

" Yeah, that'd be fine " I admire her while she tucks a lock of hair behind her ear to get it away from her face. She plays with her rings as she's talking to Miranda.

 " Can we also have two glasses of water? " she adds. We both close up our menu and give it back to Miranda.  She looks at me and smiles. 

She rests her chin on the back of her hands, " Since, we're both YouTubers who create content, what would you say is the worst thing about the job? "
