Chapter Ten

Sal

Harrison came over to my place in Marina del Rey the next day at around noon. Uncertain of what he might want to eat, I ordered a variety of food from Lunch Apron. I spread out the dozen different sandwiches, pastries, a cranberry and goat cheese garden salad, and spicy curry chicken salad all out on the coffee table. Our first phase of our project was to engulf ourselves in all things romcom. That meant watching an exorbitant amount of romantic comedies.

Harrison walked into the living room and abruptly stopped when he saw the piles of food. Looking around, he asked, “Is anyone else joining us?’

I turned on Netflix on the TV glancing at the enormous amount of food. Grimacing, I admitted, “No. I’ve been told I over order sometimes.”

Harrison plopped onto the couch. “That’s cool. I’m hungry anyway. More food is better than not enough.”

Under Romantic Comedies, The Jane Diaries, popped up. I hovered over it wondering if Harrison was inclined to watch it.

“Is the entire trilogy available?” Harrison asked scooping spicy curry chicken salad onto his plate.

I roamed around Netflix’s interface to check. It was. “All three movies are here.”

Harrison said, “Well, start it up!”

I put a hand on my chest. “Oh good. So, you’re a Jane fan?”

He bit into a turkey and cranberry sandwich. “Of course! I’m not a barbarian.”

Because we’d both seen all three movies before, we were able to discuss and take notes while we watched. We laughed as Jane stumbled through her dating life in her crazed maniacal way. She was a complete mess. She reminded me of myself.

Since we had enough food to last us through a mini-apocalypse, we only took the occasional bathroom break, but for the most part, we powered through whatever movies Netflix suggested in the Romantic Comedy genre. We went from The Jane Diaries to Kiss and Tell to Meet Market. Soon, we were on a Cameron Taylor marathon, the queen of romantic comedies in the nineties.

During Mix and Match, I looked up through the skylight. It was pitch dark. I checked my phone. It was almost midnight. We’d lost complete track of time. I’d been perfectly content the last twelve hours in Harrison’s company. That rarely ever happened if I spent an extended amount of time with someone, especially if it was one on one.

On screen, we watched as Cameron Taylor confessed her feelings for her roommate Judd Paul, who was gay.

“Can you blame her for hoping he’d turn straight for her?” Harrison chirped.

“I know, right? Judd is such a handsome guy.” Judd Paul was attractive in an unconventional way. He had a boyish face, light blue eyes, and charming grin.

Harrison sat up. “He’s super nice too.”

“That’s right! He guest starred on Cubicles! His character had a thing for Mandy.” I remembered that episode. It was hilarious. Ephraim had been ousted by Judd Paul’s character. Whenever he was depressed, Ephraim would drape heavy blankets over his cubicle and hide.

Harrison nodded. “Judd was great. Hilarious guy in person.”

I paused the movie on Cameron Taylor’s distressed face, looking up again through the skylight.
