Connor and I talked over dinner. He ordered the salad since he was a vegetarian, I got the spaghetti plate with no meatballs. (No not because Connors a vegetarian because I don't like meatballs). "So, why be a vegetarian?" I asked him after we ordered.
"Well.... A lot of reasons, it's healthier for your heart, good on the population of the animals and makes the meat market just a little bit weaker. Well not really the last one, it's more or less me not showing support to those who literally make money off death." I thought on that for a minute and saw his points we're valid. "Well...what do you do for a living?" Connor asked me, his eyes twinkled in the dim light of the restaurant.

"Well.. I'm an actress/ singer. Also do a tiny bit of dancing." I answered, twirling pasta onto my fork with my spoon. "Wow! That's cool, have you been in anything?" He asked, genuinely interested. "Um I just finished filming a movie actually. I was the main character." I said, it stung a little since the movie reminded me of Riker. "So what do you do?" I asked, taking a bite of pasta.

"I'm an aspiring singer but until then I um..." He turned super red. "Go on..." I prodded, Connor looked up at me. "I'm an Underwear model. Not the most..dignified job." He said, the color of his face returning back to normal. "Are you kidding? Male underwear models are about the hottest thing next to musicians!" I laughed, Conner had a flash of a smirk on his face before it disappeared.
"Oh really?" He asked, the smirk returning, it was my turn to blush. "Well... Yeah.." Was all I could choke out.

"So, where do you live?" I asked, dying to change the topic. "I was born and raised in Oregon but moved down here for my carrer." I nodded. "I'm Oregon born and raised, actually I live their. I'm staying here... Well I don't know really anymore.." I realized, theirs no reason for me to stay in California. None of R5 want me here let alone on tour with them.
"Why'd you come down here?" Connor asked delicately. "My um.. Ex. I-he... It's complicated...and a long story." I said, if I said anymore then I wouldn't be able to stop talking. "I've got time." He smiled across the table at me.
