We went to the diner where we met the first time and sat at the same booth. I sat looking out the window at the passers by and sighed.
Daniel Reed
So Mr writer what would you do if your book becomes another movie
Carl O'Brien
Are you a producer?
Daniel Reed
No. But I know someone who is.
Daniel Reed
My sister said your book is amazing and would pay to see it on the theater
Daniel Reed
So what do you think?
Carl O'Brien
Well to be honest it won't be that bad
Carl O'Brien
Three are already on screen so it won't be that bad
Carl O'Brien
But Joy said there might be a need for book two
Daniel Reed
Is it about the best friend of the main character?
Carl O'Brien
You've read the book?
Daniel Reed
Yeah. I read it online
Daniel Reed
So does the gay guy have a happy ending?
Daniel Reed
But he had good chemistry with the stranger who disappeared after three weeks of being together
Carl O'Brien
Well I.....I'm not sure
Daniel Reed
You have to be sure
Daniel Reed
I want to know what happens to him
Carl O'Brien
That is if I have a lot of emails asking for book two
Daniel Reed
I can help you
Carl O'Brien
I can handle it
Carl O'Brien
So why did you want to see me
Daniel Reed
I spoke to your sister and told her I like you and I want you
I chocked on the water I was drinking and looked at him bewildered. He did not just say that. I must be dreaming.
Carl O'Brien
We aren't even close friends
Carl O'Brien
We met two days ago
Daniel Reed
I know. I don't mind and I don't care
Carl O'Brien
You're crazy right? How can you want someone you just met?
Daniel Reed
Well I can say I tried and we'll still be friends
Daniel Reed
I know you ain't gay and all that but can I at least try?
I looked at him like he was going crazy. I felt like strangling him but I thought otherwise. I just found out I didn't know know anything about this guy.
Carl O'Brien
I don't know anything about you and so do you.
Carl O'Brien
I don't think this will work out
Daniel Reed
Wow. I didn't know that was necessary for a relationship
Carl O'Brien
That's what you think. I want to know about my partner and about their life
Carl O'Brien
I want to...... no I need to know if I can fit into their world
Carl O'Brien
I want to know if they need me
Daniel Reed
I am....I mean.....I don't know what to say.....Now I know why I fell for you
Carl O'Brien
Dan seriously stop this
Carl O'Brien
We barely know each other. I'll advice you to find someone you're into
Carl O'Brien
I don't go out and have zero knowledge of being in a relationship
Daniel Reed
So you want to go out with me?
Carl O'Brien
Look I really have to go. It was nice talking to you
I got up to leave but he grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes for the second time today.
Daniel Reed
Look cutie. I really meant it when I said I want you
Daniel Reed
I couldn't get you out of my head the first day we met
Daniel Reed
Can you at least give me a chance?
I looked into his eyes and sighed. I nodded my approval and he hugged me
They left the diner and Dan went over to his sister's place with a smile on his face
He got home and met his sister reading 'Eve's love'. That's the book that Carl wrote and he smiled.
Daniel Reed
I went to meet him
Eve Reed
The Carl O'Brien?!
Daniel Reed
Yeah why what's wrong?
Daniel Reed
Who me? I don't.... maybe a little
Eve Reed
No wonder you want to read his books
Daniel Reed
I need your help Eve.
Daniel Reed
I want to date him
Eve Reed
Its not that hard.
Daniel Reed
I already did but he put me in the friend zone
Daniel Reed
He also said he's not gay
Daniel Reed
And he said he doesn't know me
Eve Reed
Are you pulling my leg or something?
Eve Reed
What do you mean doesn't know you?
Eve Reed
He doesn't know you were the lead actor of lost in love?
Daniel Reed
Well technically he doesn't
Daniel Reed
I was actually surprised when he said he doesn't know me
Eve Reed
Oh maybe he knows his books have become movies but never watched
Eve Reed
Or he doesn't know the actors who acted them
Daniel Reed
Maybe. I don't want him caught up in my world
Daniel Reed
He doesn't do well in front of the press
Eve Reed
Is he being chased around like you?
Daniel Reed
Yep. He was once asked his sexuality on his book launch
Eve Reed
The nerve of those people
Eve Reed
I thought you said he isn't gay
Daniel Reed
That's what he said
Daniel Reed
He's actually hiding from his homophobic parents
Daniel Reed
They already kicked out his sister for being bi
Daniel Reed
They also hate his manager cause she's trans
Eve Reed
In summary he doesn't want to be the reason they die
Daniel Reed
I think I'm falling for him
Daniel Reed
I want to spend more time with him
Eve Reed
And allow him to be chased for the rest of his life?
Eve Reed
He has to know who you are
Daniel Reed
No. He'll be freaked out
Daniel Reed
I don't want him to know I was the one they were after the day we met
Daniel Reed
You also know Collins broke up with me
Eve Reed
Dan he needs to know
Eve Reed
He's not a nobody
Eve Reed
He's one of the best writers in the world
Eve Reed
He has the right to know
Daniel Reed
I want him to know me for me
Daniel Reed
Not my social status
Eve Reed
You are Daniel Reed
Eve Reed
The best actor of the year
Eve Reed
Carl. he has to know
Eve Reed
Before its too late
Daniel Reed
Its not that simple Eve
Daniel Reed
I'll give it a try.
She hugged him and he hugged her back. Now all he could think of was how to get Carl O'Brien to be his.
