“I’ll just have the water, thanks.” We sat at a table by the windows. It was a gorgeous night out. All the beautiful people were out walking, enjoying the sunshine and shopping. I envied them. One day I would have a life style that was hopefully close to theirs. I wanted to be able to write, for fun and for work. I wanted to have a nice condo or house. I wanted to have enough money to buy a meal.

“No, we will each have a glass of Moscato.” Travis handed the menu back. This guaranteed that I was only going to have a salad. “Alex told me that this place has the best white wines.”

“How is it going with Alex?”

“Best sex I have ever had.” That was enough in Travis’ book to be marriage material. He was practically a sex addict. He didn’t let it take over his life, just drive the motivation for it. “How is your freelancing going?”

“Not great. I’ve been broke for God knows how long.”

“Two months.”

“Two months. I am thinking about giving it up and looking for other work.”

“Ooh, like what? Stripping?”

“Not with this muffin top.”

“Where are you going to work, then?”

I took a large drink of wine. It was almost like a juice. “I was thinking maybe doing something more mainstream. I sent my resume out to a few administrative assistant positions. I did some secretary work at USD so hopefully that is enough experience to get me into one of them.”

“Have you heard back from any of them?”

The waitress brought our food out. “Not yet.” My life was sadder on paper than it felt. I was sitting across from a great guy that maybe if he weren’t gay, I would date him. Too bad for me, he already had a boy toy.

“Well, you have to keep at it. Persistence is key. I don’t do acting full time. It hardly pays the bills.”

“You’ll make it soon. You’re getting a ton of work.”

“Yeah, it’s going well right now, but it hasn’t always been this way. That’s why I still work as a hostess. Someday I won’t have to show people their tables; I’ll just be able to become characters.”

“You’ll make it soon.”

“You just said that.” We ate the dinner and I was stuffed afterwards. Travis insisted we get dessert, but I couldn’t fit another bite in me. We went back out and walked around the plaza area.

“So how about this wedding thing?”

“And just when I got it off my mind.”

“Sorry. I just don’t want you to show up empty handed. You’re walking now, that’s the first step. We can get you hot before then. You can’t show up empty handed.”

“I know.”

“You’ll be a laughing stock.”

“I know.”

“You’ll look pathetic.”

“I know.”

“They will all feel so bad for you.”

“Hey, yeah. I get it.”

“So how is the dating situation going to work?” Travis and I walked into one of the boutiques. He looked at all the shoes, showing me several pairs he thought would look great on me.

“Well, still single. My closest male friend is a gay guy that Tom would know I’m not dating.
